ESTERHAZY THE GUILTY ONE
Italian Ambassador to France Practically
Exonerates Dreyfus.
He Declares That Officer Never Had
Dealings With Foreign Mill
tary Attaches.

PARIS, April t3-The Eclair today pub
fishes the deposition made by NJ Trarieux
the former minister of justice in the Ribot
cabinet before the court of cassation in its
inquiry into the Dreyfus case. NJ TrarieuX
said that Count Tornielli-Brusati di Verga-
TO, the Italian ambassador to France de-
clared TO him in March, 1898. that the Ital-
ian secret information bureau never had
any relations with Dreyfus and that the
publication of the bordereau and the docu-
ment containing the words "Cette canaille
de D" revealed to the Italian and Ger
man attaches that Dreyfus was the victim
of an error, and that the bordereau was
communicated by another officer.
Colonel Schwartzkoppen, the former mill
tary attache of the German embassy at
Paris, wrote to Colonel Panizzardi the Ital-
ian military attache at Paris, that he was
not acquainted with Dreyfus and attributed
the bordereau TO Maj. Count Esterhazy.
The Italian ambassador said that Ester
haZy went to Colonel SchwartZkoppen in
October. 1897, and asked for protection, and
on this being refused, he threatened to
commit suicide.
The Italian ambassador added that the
document containing the words 'Cette ca
naille de D" referred to a civilian who
had furnished Colonel S;chwartZkoppen
with plans and maps. The latter was
known to the foreign attaches under the
name Of Dubois
Finally. the Italian minister said. he was
convinced, after interviews with NJ. Hano-
tauX. the then minister Of foreign affairs,
that the communication of Lieut.. Col. Hen
rvs forgery in the Zo!a trial was made
without the knowledge of the government.
He said EsterhaZy had relations solely with
Colonel SchwartZkOpDen, who communi-
Gated to Colonel Panizzardi the documents
which were interesting to Italy.

BERlNG SEA PATROL
Revenue Cutters Preparing to Sail to the
Alaskan Coast.
Expected to Start From Frisco About
May 1-Roats and Their
Officers.

Captain Shoemaker, chief of the revenue
cutter service, has about completed all ar
rangements for sending a fleet of revenue
cutters to Bering sea to resume the usual
patrol for the purpose of preventing pelagic
sealing. Last year all the available revenue
cutters were in use auxiliary navy YES
sells, and the patrol was omitted.
The patrol will be carried on under the
same regulations as in former years, and
it is expected that the fleet will go north
about the 1st of May, departing from San
Francisco. The fleet of the Bering sea
patrol will consist of the Corwin, Perry,
Rush and Grant. The Bear will go north
about the same time on her annual cruise
through the Bering straits to Point Bar
row, in the Arctic ocean, where her duties
will be to look after the whaling fleets in
those waters, rendering whatever assist
ance the vessels may need. Capt. Francis
Tuttle, her commander, has instructions to
Investigate complaints of lawlessness along
the Alaskan coast The Bear will also
carry to the natives and missionaries who
aided the relief expedition more than
year ago the compensation voted by Con-
gress for their services. This compensation
will be largely in the shape of food sup
plies.
The New Yukon River Cutter.
The Nunivak, the=new Yukon river cutter,
will start north as soon as she can be fitted
out. The old gunboat Thetis is also being
fitted out for service as "A cutter, and will
probably be used to carry reindeer from
Siberia to Alaska. The Nunivak will have
on board representatives of the fish com
mission and of the geological survey. The
latter will study the mineral deposits in
American territory, while the fish commits
sion representatives will study the fish in
the Yukon and neighboring streams.

proposed arrangement in favor of the

The authorities held that under the Presi-
dents proclamation the United States is no
longer at war and that the fighting in the
Philippines is in the nature of an insur-
rectioE and not war.
The estimated annual pay of the enlisted
strength OF the army as at present
ganized is nearly $l5.0O,000 and the stop

result in annual saving of about S7JO.ao0.

Looks Like Spanish Treachery.
Francisco Reyes. the man who recently
purchased the Spanish gunboats at Fam
boanga, Island Of Mindanao has received
advices TO the effect that the fleet sailed
for Manila and returned a few days later
with the vessels stripped of their guns
and ammunition. The purchasers agents
and native Craws for the vessels on board
the American steamer Butuau were con-
veyed to Zamboansa by the United States
cruiser Boston and Were instructed To wait
for the arrival there of the United States
gunbcat Petrol
Instead of so doing, after the Boston
sailed from Zamboanga the Spaniards
transferred the gunboats to the agents of
Senor Reyes and the fleet left Zambaanga
unescorted. They soon returned and re-
ported having been boarded by rebels who
removed the gunboat's armamonts. IL the
instructions Of the American naval COM
maEder had been obeyed their capture
would have been impossible.
Zamboanga IS fortified and still garrison
ed by Spaniards, and the affair is regarded
suspicious.

General Order Issued Promulgating
the Law Recently Passed.

Major General Miles has issued a general
order to the army promulgating the law
passed at the last session of Congress in
relation to the sale of Intoxicating liquors
at army canteens or on military reserva-
tions. The recent opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Grlggs constituting the statute is given
in full, and is accompanied by the follow
ing special instructions for the enforce
ment of the law as thus construed:
THE provision of paragraph of the
Post Exchange Regulations, to the effect
that in establishing a new exchange, and at
posts where the business is small, the stew
ard and attendants may be enlisted men, is
revoked SO far as the canteen section is
concerned, SO that the said paragraph will
hereafter be authority for the employment
OF civilians only in the canteen. SO much
of paragraph fo of the said exchange resu-
lations as requires that the canteen must
be in a room used for no other purpose and
when practicable in a building apart from
that In which the recreation and reading
rooms are located; the sale of beer must
be limited to week days and the beer con-
Sumed upon the premises and that the
practice known as treating" will not be
permitted, is amended by the addition
thereto of the provisions that no officer
shall be assigned, nor any private soldier
detailed, to sell Intoxicating drinks AS a
bartender or otherwise, in any post ex-
ciidnSe, or cantesn, and that such sales
shal be made only by civilians employed
for that purpose; and the requirement of
said paragraph 10 of the exchange reslfIa-
uons, TO the effect that the sale or use of
ardent spirits in any branch of the ex
change is strictly prohibited is emphasized
ana also extended so as to apply to any
encampment or fort or premises used for
military purposes.
No person shall be required, permitted
or allowed 10 sell liquors of any kind, char
actef or description in any encamDmell. or
fort or any premises used for miliia,y mr.
poses by the United States; and commend
ing officers are especially enjoined to see
that this prohibition is strictly enforced

No MONEY LOSS INVOLVED.
A Philosophical View of the Capture
of the Gunboats' Armament.

The War Department officials take a phil
osophiCal view of the reported capture by
the insurgents in the vicinity Of Zamboango
oS the arms and armament on the Spanish
gnnbCats which were to become the prop
erty of the United States. They say that
General Otis has withheld payment for
these boats until they were delivered to
him at Manila, so that there is no money
loss involved. OF course it is a matter Of
regret that the insurgents should have
come into possession of the guns, but. after
all, it is said. they will not be able to Sc
cure and keep on hand a supply OF am
muniiion for them. so that they will soon
become useless for hostile purposes. The
United States forces have so far had no
trouble with insurgents on the Island of
Mindanao, and in view of the suspicious
circumstances attending the reported cap
ture of these particular guns it is appre-
hended that some persons, possibly Spanish
sympathizers with Aguinaido, nave caused
the guns to be sent to him on Luzon.

RETIRED AS REAR ADNIRALs.
Captains i'm the Pay Corps who Served
CreditabIN I'm the Civil War.

The Attorney General has rendered an
opinion in the case of two officers of the
navy, a pay director with the rank Of cap
tain. and medical director with the rank
of cabtain, who will soon be entitled TO
retirement pursuant to section 1444 of the
Revised Statutes. The naval personnel act
of March 3, 1899 directs that any officer
of the navy, with a creditable record, who
served during the civil war shall when re-
tired, be retired with the rank and three
fourths the sea pay of the next higher
grade.
In the active list there is no higher posi-
tions to be attained in either the pay corps
or medical corps than that of captain. and
the question Involved is whether the act
forbids the application of the literal pro-
visions of section eleven to such officers as
medical directors and pay directors, and
whether, in case of retirement, they are
entitled to be retired with the rank and
three-fourths Of the pay of rear aamirals
that being the next higher grade 10 that of
captain.
The Attorney General calls attention to
the fact that the language of section
eleven does not in terms confine its opera
tion to officers of the line. The language is
"any officer Of the navy, etc." and II as
sumes that there must be a higher grade
TO which the retiring officer can be pro-
NOTED.

torney General. ITO promote medical d.
