BERLIN, Sept. 1O.-The Dreyfus YER
dict seems to have caused a feeling al
most OF stupetactlon in Berlin. 1t had
been hoped that the statement sof the
ReIchS.nzeiger as emanatIng directly
from Emperor william, would have rem
dered impossible the repetition of what
is described as zone of the greatest ju-

1t Is universally agreed that the second
verdict is n grave political blunder, n
Violation OF the laws OF civilization and
an act of moral cowardlce, which the
world will find It difiicult to pardon.
The German press unanimously de-
scrIbes the verdict as cowardly and I'M
polite, not TO say criminal,
The Cologne Gazette says: 1T Is n
cowardly verdict, In the barbarous splr-
It OF the middle Rges. BY this crime
the Judges have imposed a line OF de-
narration between, France and the rest
OF the world, which. although 1t will
not prevent diplomatic intercourse or

The other leading journals comment
upon the verdict in similar strains.

coCHIsE, Arizona, Sept. 1o.-Ex-
press train No. 10. on the Southern Pa
cllc was robbed here last night by four
masked men, who blew the safe open

PARIS. Sept. 1O-The day has been
one Of absolute quietude. with no pub
lie excitement. not even in the Rue de
Chabrol. There was rainfall this af-
ternoon and the streets were practically
deserted.
Slight disturbances occurred yester-
day at MarselIles and Belfort after the
verdict OF the Dreyfus court martial

wise damaging the structure. Many
persons were arrested In both places.
The premier. NJ. Waldeck-ROusseau,

President Loubet will probably not re-
turn to Ramboulllet for several days.

ly occupied. The rising of one tribe
of natives in South Africa means the
rising of all. Repeated rumors that
the Ladysmith garrison has capitu-
lated are received from Europe, but all
are denied at the war office, it being
held that Joubert would be the first
to proclaim such n victory. Buffers
movements are now the subject of uni
versal speculation. The war office is
necessarily silent on this subject. The
mobilization at Delagoa Bay of the
force en- route to the Cape is posi-
BILE coup.
Humanity on Both Sides.
The humanity of both armies in
caring for the wounded and the court
eous exchange of prisoners are among
the redeeming features of the HOSTILE
ties. The British transport Nineveh
has reached Cape Town. The New
South Wales Lancers from Aldershot
were aboard The Tenth Hussars
sailed from Liverpool on the transport
Columbian. Reports indicate that the
Beers are displaying great courage and
skill in the management of their ar
tillery, but that the British guns are
the more effective. especially those
brought from the Powerful General
Butler has ordered the withdrawal of
the troops at Stormberg Junction. The
detachment was sent to Queenstown
Point, fifty miles southeast. Prince
Christian and a number of other off
GERS left last Friday for Durham en-
route to Ladysmith, where they will
replace the British officers killed or
wounded in the recent fighting there.

KEEP PHILIPPINES"
Such is the Advice Of the Com.
mission.
PRELIMINARY REPORT IS SENT IN.

Dewey, DENLY, sehurman and Worcester.
the Members of the United States Philip
pine Commission Have Very Poor
Opinion of Aguinaldo--Need for Ameri-
Gun Occupancy of the Islands-It Would
Result In Internal Peace and Order.
Washington, Nov. 4.-The prelimi-
larry statement of the Philippine COM
Mckinley. An unanimity of opinion
favoring the retention of the islands,
the intimation being made that it will
be long time before the natives can
govern themselves, and that govern
ment of the islands by the United
States is the archipelago's only saliva
ton, are the main features of the doc.
ument. No advice. however, is given
as to the proper course to pursue in
the premises, and the statements made
tend to lay all the blame on Aguinaldo
for existing hostilities. The report
holds the insurgent leader responsible
for all the trouble, arguing that his
primary object is not to secure the
liberty of his people but continuance
of his own alleged arbitrary power.
Tricky. Murderous Upstart.
In the languarge Of the commission
ers, instead Of being patriot, great
champion of freedom and a second
George Washington, Aguinaldo is pict-
ured as miserable, shifting, tricky,
treacherous, murderous upstart, whom
General Otis and other Americans
would be unwilling to even associate
with. One conclusion the commits
sioDers reach relates to the capability
of the Filipinos for self government.
According to their idea the people are
Aot retdy for it, even though they
showed knowledge of the blessings
of liberty when they fought Spain 300
years to attain it. Among the more
prominent suggestions embodied in the
statement are references regarding the
good conduct of the Americans now
there and the bright future for the isl
ands under the domination of Spain'f
successor.
Need for American Occupancy.
The gist of the report specifies the
need for American occupancy and
Urges the necessity for maintaining the
army. Concluding 1t says:
"Our control means to the inhabi
tants of the Philippines internal peace
and order, a guarantee against foreign
aggression and against the dismember
ment of their country, commercial anG
Industrial prosperity and as large q
share of the affairs of government az
they shall prove fit to take. Whe1
peace and prosperity shall have beer
established throughout the archipela
go, when education shall have become
general. then. in the language of Q
leading Filipino, his people will undel
our guidance, become more American
than the Americans themselves.

man, George Dewey, Charles DENLY
and Dean C. Worcester.

rounds however, were so far In favor
of the champion that the result of the
attic was apparent before the re-
fierce, Siler, declared Jeffries victor
Sharkey's tactics We're very rough,
and he clinched and brought his mans
head into chancery a dozen times dur
ing the progress of the fight. He used
the heel of his glove after every clinch,
and in other ways transgressed the
rules repeatedly. Jeffries did not fight
in the form he displayed against Fitz-
simmons. He was wild in the earlier
stages of the contest, and under the
concentrated heat of 400 200-candle-
power are lights showed but little of
the power of his former engagements
in the ring. His defense, too, was
weak. Sharkey landed left and right
swings repeatedly where Fitzsimmons
had failed utterly. He bore in, under,
over, and through Jeffries' guard at
times as though the latter had none.
1t was good battle to watch, full of
action. True, there were enough clinch-
es to dull the ordinary battle, but this
is to be expected with two such Bo-
hemoths in the ring. The Chicago
crowd won almost to man. They
placed their money with Jeffries'
chances on the hypothesis that big,
good man was better than good, little
man, and along these lines they bet on
Jeffries.
1t was an even match as to strength.
The forcing was done by Sharkey, but
effective countering stood this off to no
inconsiderable extent. The matter of
vitality did not figure MS much under
the heat us was anticipated. Siler and
the seconds of the men suffered great
" from this, but the equatorial voy-
ages of the sailor and the blasting fur
naces experience of the boiler maker
made both men practically immunes.
1t was an earnest fight all the way
through.
Siler's decision, while in accord with
the opinions of the winners, and ap.
posed in some quarters by the losers.
is approved by the non-betting and
neutral critics who saw the fight.
After the fight it was ascertained
that Sharkey had two ribs broken be.
fore the battle was half over, and had
also wrecked his right shoulder.
