HARD WORK FOR AMERICAN TROOPERS
IN THE PHlLiPPlNES-THE
NATIVE PONIES

most part,but paths through the jungle,
on each side of which grows the rank
vegetation of tropical climate, and In
which the crafty enemy finds an easy
hiding place from which to pick OF the
troopers with gun or knife, for the
knife in the hands of a Filipino is more
to be dreaded than a gun.
At night the little outpost. or the
single sentry far removed from the re-
mainder of his comrades. must exercise
the Creates vigilance If he is to escape
the crafty natives, who find 1t more
profitable to creep upon single man
than it is TO meet body OF American
soldiers in an open fight.
In this dangerous work the native
ponies with which all three of the troops
are mounted are of the greatest assist
ance. These little animals are seldom
more than II hands high and weigh
from $50 to 500 pounds. But. small as
they are. they will stand more of the
hard campaigning than any horse the
government can possibly send into the
islands. They are sure-footed, seeming
~ tireless and of the greatest assistance
to the lonely outpost at night. In a
fight they will stand like rocks while
the troopers rise from their backs. and
when it becomes necessary TO run.
either to catch the fieet-footed natives
or 10 retreat TO escape humiliation,
they travel like the wind. At night they
scent the presence of foe long before
the troopers can see or hear the APP
proach of a native. and so are of the
greatest value to the sentry or outpost.

that he was innocent, and nothing CT 4
comprc missing character was found at
his house. The prisoner, however, was
kept au secret, and not even allowed TO
receive news of his family.
The Act OF Accusation
Commandant d'Ormescheville, who
was charged with conducting a new in
vestigation, drew up his act OF accu-
sation on December 8. In brief, it con-
tanned certain vague suggestions as to
suspicious inquiries said 10 have been
made by Captain Dreyfus in rooms OF
the War Office other than his own,
suggestions 10 the effect that Dreyfus
had lived dissipated life previous TO
his marriage; that he was In need Of
money, that he was addicted to gamb-
ling, and that he was in the habit Of
making suspicious trips abroad. Then
came a reference to the famous bord-
ereau:-"ln short, the grounds of the
accusations brought against Captain
Dreyfus are Of two kinds-moral and
material. We have examined the for
Uer. The latter consist Of the incrlm.
mating lettre missive tbordereau).
The majority of the experts, as we'll as
ourselves and the witnesses who have
seen it, are agreed that, except for in
territorial dissimilarities, It offers a
perfect resemblance to the authentic
writing of Captain Dreyfus."
The court martial. presided over by
Colonel Maurel, began on December 49,.
1894. The trial, which took place be-
hind closed doors, lasted two days At
its conclusion Dreyfus was found gull
~ by the unanimous vote of the. court
martial and was sentenced to impris-
onment for life and to suffer degrada-
ton from his military rank.
The Punishment.
The scene of the public degradation,
which took place at the Ecole, Mill
'aiie, Paris, on January 8, 1895, was
very dramatic. IT was witnessed by
three thousand troops, and was 40
complete as is known 10 the practice Of
military law. The insignia of rank,
he badges OF his profession, were torn
from his coat and cap; even the stripes
we're torn from his trousers by the ad-
'utant, and his sword was broken in
Two. ~
While this was being done Dreytus
raised his arms and cried: Of
Il am innocent. | swear | am inno-

The vast crowd that was watching
ne tragic scene answered these pro.
:,stations with eounter cries of "A

restraining the people from doing the
prisoner violence. When taken back
tc his cell the unhappy man again

Notwithstanding the fact that NJ. Co
bert, expert of the Bank Of France,
declared that in his judgment the doc

some person other than Captain
Dreyfus, the officer was arrested by
General Mercier's orders on October IA,

that he was innocent. and nothing CT a

of famous paintings. There was mid

a thirst for information, who was sex

looking children.
