too emotional for description.

previously heard n short account from his wife.
preyfus was greatly astonished. hearing with
special interest OF Henry's suicide and Du
Patty de CLAIMS arrest. He had believed that
his best friend was Gen. Boisdeffre. whom he
considered his hope OF salvation.
NJ Demange complimented Dreyfus on his
moral strength after such terrible suf1erinRs.
Dreytus replied that he was an honest man.
which was his best safeguard. He has not ut
tered a word against his Jailers since leaving
DEVILS Island.
When Nine. Dreyfus saw her husband In the
prison Yesterday she found him in much bet
ter spirits. He received her with smiles and
shed no tears at any time during the meeting.
Dreyfus was suffering from indigestion owing
10 his excessive use OF quinine at DEVILS
Island as a preventive against m alarial attacks.
Dreytus Is confident OF his triumphant ac-
ouittal by the new court-martial. He Ia taci-
turn toward his guards and the prison au-
thorities The only requests he has made OF
them IS that they give him the army list and
that his brother Matthew write to Col Picquart
in his name.

proved since his arrival here, He remains per-
fectly calm Matthew Dreyfus has received
permission to see his brother. Nine. Dreyfus
tees her husband daily. NJ. Demange will re-
turn to Paris too day. but NJ. Labor will rem ain
here and will see Dreyfus daily.
Although the official reports state that Drey
las is enjoying good health. the fact Is that he
suffers severely from ague. At present he is
buoyed up by his hopes, but reaction 10 in
,yitable The decree OF the Court Of Cessation
has been fully communicated to the prisoner.
1t is believed that the court martial will COM
mence on July H.
PARIS July 3.-Paul Deroulede. in a speech
at St. Cloud last evening" declared that he
would accept without question the decision OF
the court martial in the coming trial Of Dreyfus
at Rennes. Moreover. he would demand the
punishment OF the Ministers responsible for
his condemnation for allowing Dreyfus to be
adjudged guilty II 1t were shown that he was
really innocent.
The Figaro says that Prince Albert OF Mon
AGO has placed his chateau at Marchais. In the
Department OF Atsne. at the disposal Of Capt.
Dreyfus. where. in the event OF his resaining
his liberty he may spend season OF rest aud
recuperation.
NJ. Cuneo d. Ornano has received a letter from
n. Waldeck- Rousseau in which the Premier
states that. the question being debatable
whether or not the legal publication OF the de-
cree OF the Court OF Cessation respecting Drey-
fus and the republication Of reflections ex-
humed from 1894 by the Libre Parole against
President Loubet are permissible. the Govern
ment thinks 1t preferable to end the discus
sion withdrawing the action taken against
the Mayors affected by their refusal to sanction
the publication in either case. The Mayors
are therefore reinstated in the performance OF
their functions. the consequence being that an
awkward Interpolation in the Chamber OF
Deputies has been clevery avoided by the
Government.
