Paris, July 1S.-The Matin this morn

order of Colonel Sandherr, and that il
was sent 10 the house of Colonel

whence 1t was returned to the war Of
hee- Colonel Schwartzkoppen, being at
that time in Berlin, never saw the bor-
dereau. which was forged in order to
supply material proof of the guilt of
Dreyfus.
The statement contains the assertion
that secret agents in Berlin. whose
testimony it was impossible to use. had
demonstrated that leakages had oc-
CURED in the war office, and the fact
that treason existed was undeniable
and everything indicated Dreyfus as
the traitor.
All the war ministers, the statement
further says, knew the facts and
thought the forgery of the bordereau
necessary. The evidence duplicating
Dreyfus were the words of Colonel

After the fire had been put out. and
while ten firemen were on the roof and
others were working on ladders and in
side of the building, the structure COL
lapsed, the roof and floors crashing
down into the basement.
The firemen who remained in the
street hurried to the rescue and were
soon digging their injured comrades out
of the mass of debris. AS the injured
were taken out, ambulances and other
conveyances carried them to the emer-
gency hospital, where they received
surgical attention.
1t was regarded as miraculous that
several of the firemen were not killed
outright. Twenty-Five men were treat
ed at the hospital. The most seriously
injured We're:

The Los Angeles Brigadier Gives His
Opinion of Ground Robin"

way to Los Angeles. having been in
Washington, where he had a conference
with the president.
General Otis should be heard from
before the round robin is discussed as
to its fairness. The commanding gen
eraI has been unduly optimistic-rather
than the opposite. l know of cases
where he had opportunities Of making
highly favorable reports of his military
operations. but Eiodestly refrained from
doing so. He ana his officers do not

which, with all intentions Of being fair,
are apt OF be exaggerated. I am sat

President Kruger's Recommendation
That the Time Be Extended to
Nine Years, Was Rejected.

Pretoria, July 1S.-The Volksraad re-

prospective franchises.
Replying to a question, President
Kruger reviewed the Bloemfontein con-

Colony and British high commissioner
of South Africa, were too wide but that
alteration from nine to seven years was
only slight difference and for reasons
of honesty and Righteousness he (Presi-

Mothers advice is worth more than
the advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perplexed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to 'write to a
zD'0nGH," who is a stranger.
There may, however, be need for
physicians advice TO supplement the adj
vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by Dr. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the IN
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
ANY sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon 1t.
Do not be misled by advertisements
offering "medical advice" which are
published BY those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such adj
vice. ANY physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer " medical advice" and invite
you to write to a woman " do not claim
that the woman is doctor The "medi-
cal advice" of an unprofessional woman
is Just as dangerous as the medical
advice" of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DR.. Pierce and his
staff of nearly a score of medical special
lists, have successfully treated over half
million women. You can write without
fear as without fee to DR.. R. " Pierce,

show that they know nothing of the
affair and save them from testifying-
Yes. NV first statement was not

COMFORT FOR ADMINISTRATION
Claims to Be Greatly Pleased Over
Reports From the Commission.

Washington, July 1S.-The advices
which the president received from Ma
Mia yesterday, and which have given
so much comfort and encouragement
to the members of the cabinet, to whom
they We're communicated, had bear
ing rather on the political than the
military situation, although there is
naturally a very direct connec zion be-
tween the two at this time.
The commission. or at least so much
of it as remains at Manila since the
departure of President Shurmann and
Admiral Dewey, has been unrelaXing
in the effort to restore the confidence OF
the natives and aid military operations
by inducing OBJECTIONS among Aguinal-
dos followers. Some progress has been
made, more, it is said, than the public
is acquainted with, for not only have
the United States authorities been able
to secure unqualified adhesion of the
natives of the more important islands
outside of LuZon in the Philippine
group, but even in that island they
have steadily encroached on what was
regarded as purely insurgent territory.
and are arranging for the establish
ment of full civil governments in some
of the provinces of the island wherein
Asuinaldo has heretofore been strong
e<-
Because this is to be accomplished
by peaceful means and with the full as
sent of the inhabitants of the province,
the administration naturally felt that
it had cause for qualification.
