THE SFAX SETS SAIL.
Cruiser Leaves Fort De
France to Take
Dreyfus Home.

Fort de France, Martinique, June g.
There is no truth in the report that
Dreyfus has embarked on board the
steamer Vile de Tangiers.
The Sfax, which left here at 10 o'clock
last night, as already cabted, to take
Dreyfus on board, sailed quite unex-
pectedly. 1t was not until o'clock in
the afternoon that her commander was
notified to sail, and the cruiser left as
soon as she could get up steam and
take on board the necessary provisions.
The authorities Of Cayenne foresaw
leave Fort de France on her present
mission, and at o'clock this afternoon
the dispatch boat Goeland, stationed In
the waters of French Guiana, left
Cayenne. the capital. for Devils island,
having on board the superintendent of
the penitentiary and the commander of
the marine artillery. These officials
are delegated by the French govern
ment to notify Dreyfus of the revision
of his trial.
Dreyfus has already received, the
day before yesterday, from his wife, a
cable message announcing the decision
of the court of cessation. Dreyfus,
however, will be under charges after
being officially notified of the court S
action in his case, but he will be able
to resume wearing the military uni
form of his rank, in order to so appear
before the new council of war The
Goeland will be back at Cayenne to-
morrow.

Take Charge.
TREASURER SKIPS TOWN.
Two Old and Reliable In
situations Stop
Paying.

Dover N. H, June 5-The financial
community in this section of the state
received another shock today through
the closing of the doors of two of the
best known banks in this city. The
Cocheco Savings bank was enjoined
from paying out or receiving money
and warrent was issued for the arrest
of it's treasurer, Harry Hough, who is
charged with a shortage of $500. The
doors of the Cocheco National bank
were also closed and National Bank
Examiner Carroll is temporarily in
charge. While Hough was not an Of
fetal of the Nation bank he acted as
assistant cashier, did all the book
keeping of the institution and had free
access to the documents. Hough left
town yesterday.
While the warrent was sworn out for
Hough on the charge of a shortage of
S2500 of the funds of the savings
bank. that amount was drawn from tht.
STAFFORD Savings bank tais morning by
Treasurer Fl Iugh's wife and paid to

officials as we'll as the officials from
securing the arrest OF H6u5h, as
he is charged kith a shortage Of the
national bank funds.
National Bank Examiner Carroll says
he is Unable to say what the shortage
Of the national bank will be until full

national bank account. Hough was
confronted with the situation and gave
back $4,000. He further agreed to pay
the remaining $4,000 of the national bank
Monday morning. This promise is the
reason why he was not placed under
arrest at that time. The treasurer
father. Ralph Hough, one of the direc-
tors of the national bank, says his son
went to Boston for the purpose OF rails
ing money. The directors claim they
knew nothing of the shortage untll

Alleged Kidnappers
of Marion Clark
Indicted.
TWO TRIED IN HAVERSTRAW.
Efforts on Foot to Extra
dite Carrie
Jones.
TWO TRIED IN HAVERSTRAW.

New York, June 5.-The grand jury
lost no time today in indicting all the
alleged kidnappers of Marion Clark,
and two of them may be in the custody
Of New York officials tomorrow. Tine
first indictment is found against George
w. Barrow, alias Mark Beauregard,
alias James w. Wilson. The second is
against Addle Barrow, alias Addie
Beauregard, alias Jennie Wilson. The
third is against Bella Anderson, alias
Carrie Jones.
The first two persons named in the
Indictment were put on trial today at
West Haverstraw, N. Y, on the charge
Of kidnapping the Clark child, but no
evidence was adduced, as the prisoners
waived examination and were held for
the Rockland county grand jury, which
does not meet until October. The prts-
oners were recommitted to jail.
The indictments found today were
made on common law counts, and
charge abduction, kidnapping and con-
spiracy. Assistant District Attorney
Mcintyre went to Justice Fursman OF
the supreme court and asked him u
transfer the cases or the deIenudntS
from the court of general sessions to
the criminal branch. This the Justice
did, and his action, as Mr.. Mcintyre ex-
piained, acted as a supersedeas to all
proceedings thus far instituted against
the defendants in this state.
Assistant District Attorney Lebabier
and Detective Sergeant Morris went tq
Nyack this evening, with bench war;
rants for the Wilson's. District At
torney Wyre refused to give up the
prisoners, saying that the law would
not allow him to do so. District At
torney Gardiner said that if the sheriff
and other officials OF Rockland county
refused to give up the Wilson's when
warrants were shown to them, he
would have those officials cited for
contempt of court. The prisoners
however, were not transferred to the
New York authorities.
Mr. Gardiner also said that the eX-
tradition papers on which Bella Ander-
son is to be brought from New Jersey
had all been made out, and We're al
ready on their way to Albany for Gov
Roosevelt's signature. AS soon as the
governor signs them they will be for
warded to Gov. Voorhees,. The New
Jersey officials are not making any at
tempt to keep the nurse girl in that
state All they insist on as a condition
to giving her up, is that the proper
legal formalities be observed.

THE MAHDPS HEAD.
It is Made Subject of
a Parliamentary
Debate.
SIRDAR is IN LONDON.
Balfour Introduces Meas
ure to Vote 100000
to Kitchener.

London, June 5.-Lord Kitchener of
Khartoum, sirdar Of the Egyptian
forces, arrived here today and called
upon A. j. Balfour, first lord OF the
treasury and government leader in the
house of commons, with whom the gem
eial had long interview. Mr.. Balfour
today made a full explanation in the
house of the reasons for destroying the
tomb of the mahdi at Omdurman and
the dispersal of his remains.
Mr.. Balfour in introducing the vote
of 100000 for Lord Kitchener in the
house of commons today said the fact
that the power of Mahdism was
crushed was due to the genius of the
man they desired to honor and reward.
Continuing, the government leader
expressed the hope that those who cb-
jected to the policy OF the Soudan adj
vance would not think that a reason
for resisting the vote, as such a course
would be introducing politics into mill
tary matters. He then dwelt with adj
miration on the way the slrdar had sur
mounted difficulties and organized vic
tories by Ibis answering and almost
SCpernuman INDUSTRY, reSefNlnB sig
nal mark of gratitude and honor.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman. the
opposition leader, cordially supported
the motion, while expressing regret at
the treatment Of the mahdrs body.
which he regarded as an error
Of taste and judgment. Mr.. Bal
four did not refer to the in
cident of the mahdis head, excepting
indirectly when he said he conceived
that there was only one question before
the house. namely, military merit
John Morley, the former liberal
chief secretary for Ireland, opposed the
vote on the ground Of the treatment OF
the mahdi's head, to which Mr.. Bal
four replied that he did not believe the
element of vengeance had influenced
Gen Kitchener in the smallest degree,
pointing out that he had treated the
mahdis family with the utmost consid-
Grafton. The removal Of the body, he
also said had been public as publicity
was an essential part of the policy die
tating the act. 1t was the first duty Of
the man responsible for the safety OF
the men and officers left in charge OF
Omdurman to root out the fanatieal
superstition which had been the
strength of mahdism for years.
Lord Kitchener. Gen. Lord Roberts
of Kandahar and the Duke of MARI
boro were in the gallery of the house OF
commons during the debate.
