de Roulede resumed his harangue imme-
diate-y upon the court being called TO
order, reiterating, amid applause, his
statement to the court on yesterday that
he had not desired the establishment OF a
dynasty but Of plebiscitary republic.
A number of witnesses were heard ~
favor of NJ De Rouledes, including Fran
co.'s Copee, Deputy Joseph Lasies and
Generals Norve and Lannes, who paid
high tribute to De Roulede as a French
man, and praised his conduct in the war
of 1870.
NJ Quesnay de Beurepaire, formerly
president of the civil section of the court
of cessation, was loudly cheered as he
entered the court. In response to an ap-
peal from NJ. De Roulede, he addressed
the court in support of De Rouedes
charges and against President Loubet. NJ.
De Beaurepaire said that as President
Loubet had denied the accusations he
made against him with reference TO the
Panama cana, scandal on the morning of
his election to the presidency of the 'e-
public, the charges must be true. NJ. De
Beaurepaire delivered a glowing eulogy
upon De Roulede's noble heart, and de-
clared that he was incapable of q wicked
action.
When NJ. De Beaurepaire had concluded
some one among the audience shouted:
Let US stand up as a token OF respect
but nobody stirred.
The trial adjourned for the day. without
incident of special note.

The naval ceremony in front OF the Lee
mansion was unique in presenting a re-
view Of the navy from its inception, the
several speaers treating of its glories dur
ing the revolutionary period, the war Of
1872, the war Of '61-65 and the Spanish
American war
Senator Thurston Of Nebraska spoke of
the navy during the civil war; the scant
and Anticipated material out of which a
formidable asSemblage of fighting ships
was created, and of the many historic en-
counters Of that period. 1t was recital
of the heroism which these naval conflicts
inspired, and Of the gradual upbuilding of
an American navy which is at once the
pride Of the United States and the Won
der and dread of all Europe" The achieve
ments of our navy during the late war
were eloquently pictured by DR.. Frank
Bristol, while Assistant Attorney General
Hough and DR.. Mabry discussed other
naval periods

part. The smaller cemeteries We're not
neglected, each having its exercises and
its profusion of flowers and flags. The
battlefelds in the vicinity of Washington
also were remembered by the willing
hands which rendered this tribute to the
brave.

suit was considered safe in Cavaignac's

and Mazeau, the militant and avoed anti

AT LAFAYETTE'S GRAVE
Ex-Presidcnt Harrison EulogiZes the
Great Crusader of Liberty"

Paris, May Boa large throng gathered
this afternoon in the cemetery Of Picpus
to assist in the annual decoration by
Americans Of the tomb of Lafayette. The
interest Of the occasion was enhanced by
the knowledge that ex-President Harrison
would speak General Porter, the United
States ambassador, opened the ceremony
with a brief address, and Mr.. Harrison
followed with an oration that was fire.
quently applauded- He spoke Of the deep
respect shown to Decorat ton day in the
United States and the revernt care taken
of graves Of American soldiers, remark
ing that the chief value of such observ-
ances was in impressing the hearts and
minds of the people with the lessons of
self-sacrifice and heroism.
1.-THE nation that cllerishess the graves
Of it's soldiers and assemblies to honor
them" he said, is the nation that pre-
serves and enlarges national life. The
monuments to our dead show ma trailing
ranks of sad and weary captives follow
ing their conquerors, but display broken
manacles from the hands and feet CT
emancipated blacks. The result of that
emancipation was seen at Santiago, where
the black troops and the Texas troops
We'd with each other TO be the first to
leap upon the enemy's breastworks.''
Mr.. Harrison then referred to the "gal-
liant and glorious son of Vermont, now
returning honeward after achievements
that will keep his name ever illustrious
in the annals of all nations
Here in the capital of, our great sister
republic" he continued, where no SOL
der of American birth finds a resting
place, we see the sentiment Of gratitude
and veneration finding suitable expression
around the tomb of Lafayette, the cru
sader of liberty, who came to our aid in
a time of stress. His name is perhaps
more closely than any other connected
with the name of Washington. Let the
president of France and all Frenchmen
be assured of the sentiment of amity and
gratitude felt by all Americans. All things
that minister to stable government, ma
uonal wealth and social content in France
will give US qualification"
Comte De Chambrun followed with a
brief address of thanks on behalf Of the
Lafayette family.

PADDING The ROLLS
Has Been Practised Shame
IeSSIy by the Generals"
DEAD MEN ARE LISTED
Cubans Surprised That There's
No Official Rake-0R,

Havana, May 3O.-Early this morning
Liutenant Colonel George NJ. Randall, of
the Eighth United States infantry, accom-
panied by Paymaster Moses, his clerks, a
doctor and military escort, with nearly
$500, 600, left by special train for Santi-
ago de Las Vegas, but owing to numerous
delays the payment did not begin until
this afternoon. The alcade gave the
council chamber for the purpose of distri-
bution-a large hall much better suited
than the quarters in Havana The appi-
cants, of whom there were a large num-
Der, were without guns. It was observed
that large proportion were from Mari
anao, from which point they were pre-
vented from coming yesterday to Havana.
One man, who had a Mauser, begged
ride on the special carrying the pay car
and was the first man TO be paid Not
single officer would come forward to iden-
tify an applicant, a fact causing consid-
cradle annoyance and increasing the de-
lay.
That the rolls are padded badly becomes
more and more evident each day, and
can learn every man, dead or alive, who
has ever served IN the ranks Of the in
surgents appears on. the lists. Investiga-
ton has already shown that several Of
1icers gave certificates to men who had No
guns. When Colonel Randall demanded
the presence Of these officers they refused
to come forward. In one instance it was
discovered that the name of a captain was
enrolled Who, to the certain knowledge Of
one OF the Cuban officials assisting the
paymaster, had been dead two years. 1t
IS generally believed by the officials max
ing the disbursement that the rolls were
padded in the anticipation that the Ameri-
can commander would have a personal
hand in making payment. One man who
WAS paid today said he was glad the
Americans were distributing the funds
themselves, as otherwise he would not
have received more than s75. The number
paid this afternoon was forty-five, but
there were several applicants with arms
entitled TO payment who will receive it
after Identification.

One of the most remarkable features Of
the day was the extraordinary receipt W
accorded the Seyenty-first regiment in the
New York City military parade Several
oTcers of this organization have been sub
jected to inquiry regarding their conduct
in Cuba, but the men were greeted today
with enthusiasm that has seldom been
seen in New York. All along Fifth ave-
nue., the crowd yelled and cheered when
the SeYenty-frst passed as they did for
no other regiment. Women tore off sashes,
ribbons and even caps and waved them in
the air.
AS the Seventh regiment of the national
guard which did not go to the war, passed
the reviewing stand of the Manhattan
parade several persons began to hiss. The
Kissing grew in volume until it almost
drowned the cheers with which the friends
of the regiment tried TO tide over this
unfriendly demonstration.
