Dreyfus Released From Prison

Rennes, Sept. 2O.-Shorily before
three O'Clock this morning, when ali
was quiet and the streets were desert
ed. a carriage was driven TO The en-
trance of The military prison where
Dreyfus has been confined. In the
carriage were The provost geaeial Of
the Surete department and the project
of police. a moment after the arrival
of the carriage the prison doors were
opened and file of guards came out
quickly followed by Captain Dreytus,
who, with his brother Matthew, stepped
into the carriage which drove away
rapidly. Not word was exchanged
during this scene. The carriage left
the town by the south road and con-
tinued to Vern, village about eight
miles to the southeast, where Captain
Dreyfus boarded train in the direction
of Nantes, about sixty miles due south
from Renres. Here transportation
might be obtained for Dreyfus to
England or elsewhere or he could
proceed to the south OF France
or TO Switzerland. Nothing can
yet be learned as to Dreyfus's des-
i:nation. Only the authorities ard the
ex-prisoner's family are in the secret,
ard they refuse to talk.
R4nDes, Sept. 20.-Madame Dreyfus
left here at noon today to rejoin her
husband.
Nantes, Sept. 2O.-Dreyfus has ar
rived here.
Paris, Sept. O.-Announcement Of
Drey fus's pardon will be made in the

been raised as to what steps Dreyius
could take to vindcate himself now in
case some obvious new fact" in his
case should be discovered. Although
pardoned, he still has the right to move
for revision of his case by the court
of cessation. Dreyfus. it is said, will
devote the rest of his life in seeking to
vindicate himself though he fears that
he cannot live long enough to accom-
plish it. A dispatch from Rannes says
that Madame Dreyfus has been over
whelmed with kilograms of congratu'
lations on her husbands pardon.
