case. The official announcement Is made
that on Saturday, May 20, the court of
cessation will make public its decree
fixing the fate Of the prisoner of Devils
island.
The rumor Premier Dupuy desires the
annullment of the process under which
Dreyfus Is confined on Devils island, thus
giving him his freedom without the pub

In new trial, is contradicted by M Ie-
bret, the minister of justice, who declares
the government will not interfere. 1t will
leave the court of cessation free to act
without suggestion. M. Lebret asserts,
in fact, the cabinet can do nothing but
submit to whatever judgment the court

HUFNAGEL ARRESTED.

HUFNAGEL ARRESTED.
Capt Hufnagel, the German manager,
has been arrested for conplicity in the
fight of April l. He is held on hoard the
German ship Fake under pledge from
her commander to return him to Capt.
Stuart on demand. Affidavits have been
made by men engaged in the Vailele
fight that white man was with the reb-
els directing them throughout the ell
eagement. Hufnagel answers the de-
scription of this man exactly. He was
seen at the station and gave misleading
information to the troops as they passed
his house on the way out, but when they
returned he was not to be seen. Desert
ers from Mataafas S forces say that on
previous occasion Hufnagel had narrowly
escaped being shot while encouraging the
rebels to attack
Won Buelow, a Prussian cavalry officer,
has been deported to Sydney by the Ger
man commander He was seen on April
IL in command Of a body OF 500 men on
the way to reinforce Mataafa.
A large body of friendly natives have
been armed and put under command of
Lieut., Gaunt, of the British navy. He
has been drilling them necessarily and
has brought them to a fine state of dis
cipline. They promise to make good fight
erS.
On April II the Vailima, the home Of
Robert Louis Stevenson, was shelled by
the Porpoise, as it had been occupied
by rebels who were firing on the allied
forces. The house is utterly ruined. From
that time to now the rebels have kept
away from Apla although they were
within an hours march from town. There
is no sign of surrender. Defiance and
death is the rebels cry.
PEACE OFFERED.
On March 25 Admiral Kautz, in order
to give the Mataafans chance to sub
nit without more bloodshed, issued the
following proclamation:
''It is hereby made known to all Sa-
means that Malietoa Tanumafili has been
installed as king of Samoa by the COM
bined naval forces of Great Britain and
America, on March %. His flag was sa-
Now all Samoans of the so-called Ma
taafa section, are Informed that If they
acknowledge, by sending deputations at
once from each district their lawful king,
Malietoa Tanumafili, who holds his posi-
ton by the great treaty and decision of
the chief justice under 1t, they will be
allowed to return to their hons nd re-
sumo their usual aVocations without mo-
lestation The, very strongest measures
will be taken at once against all rebels
who do not comply with this proclama-
tion.'
No answer was sent to this, although
the rebels considered it at a full meet
ing. 1t is stated that they were at first
willing to obey, but German influence
persuaded them to hang out for news
from Germany, which was sure to arrive
by the next mail. Instead of obeying,
the rebels threw up barricades and pre-
pared for active war.

CRISIS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Renewed Attention Called to 1t by
the Stand of Krueger.

LONDON, May 5.-Renewed attention
is called to the crisis in South African
affairs by the cabled news from Cape
Town today that President Kruger has
refused demand, said to have been made
In the form of an ultimatum, by Joseph
Chamberlain. 1t is stated that the de-
Tnand of the secretary of the colonies
was fiji mly worded notice to the Trans
yaal republic to observe its obligations
to the queen as the paramount power,
by securing peace and order within the
republic. This demand was supplement
tary to the demand for the cancellation
of the dynamite concessions, and was
taken to mean that the British govern
ment deems that the time has come to
invite President Kruger to observe the
letter as well as the spirit Of the London
convention.
The reply of President Krueger as ca
bled from Cape Town, contends that the
dynamite concession is bona fide and
constitutes no breach of the London con-
vention. The Transvaal, President Krue-
ger insists, is entitled to its own opinion
as to what is for the best interests of
the republic. The amendment of the con-
cession as asked by the British govern
ment, the president adds, would be a
breach of faith with regard to other par
ties.

Dug Up a Fortune in Bonds While
Digging In q Cellar.
CINCINNATI, o., May 5.-Buried treas
ure in the shape OF eleven 81, ,0J0 United
States bonds bearing unclipped coupons
which add several thousand dollars to
their value, was found by Thomas Law
son, negro laborer, while digging In
the cellar of a downtown department
store on Sixth street. The ground was
formerly the property of Britting Bros.
piano manufacturers. In the tin box was
found a paper on which was written:
These bonds belong to julius end Mar
tin Britting, and are the result of years
Of industry and saving
This discovery solves mystery which
had been a source of angry contention
among the heirs of Julius Rrftting, a
brother, charging him with having con-
cealed the bonds. Martin denied eyery-
thing, but notwithstanding his denial a
judgment was rendered against him in
favor of the estate of Julius of about
$4,oG0. The money was collected and the
estate distributed and settled. The negro
Lawson, may now claim the bonds which
are in custody of the Britting estate He
claims it as treasure trove.

GUTHRIE, Okla, May 4.-By virtue of
an execution issued by the Choctaw court,
near Wilburton, two men were stripped
to their waists, bound to post, and
whipped.
John Prola, a white intermarried citi-
zen, received sixty-nine lashes on the
bare back for selling coal contrary to
the Choctaw laws. Austin Reasley, a
full-blood Indian, was given 100 lashes
for hog stealing.
The whipping of Prola establishes his
citizenship as a Choctaw citizen. The
Choctaw nation had refused to acknowl-
edge him as citizen, claiming that his
Indian wife being divorced from him
and his marrying a white woman sew
cred his citizenship with the Choctaw ma
ton.
Reasley will die as a result of his whip
ping. The whips used were plated strips

REBELS NEAR MANILA.
They Are Giving the Government
but Little Concern


WASHINGTON, May 5.-Fhe continued
rebel demonstrations south of Manila are
causing no apprehension to war depart
ment officials, as the brigades of oven
shine and Hall are said to be ample for
every emergency. Together they have
about GOO men.
The report that the Filipinos were try
ing to break through thu american lines
is evidence to the war department that
this force is becoming short of supplies
1t is evidently Gen. Otis intention to re-
main on the defensive so long as he can
keep this force separate from the main
body of Aguinaldo. 1t is said Gen. Otis
believes he can starve this southern army
into submission. Malate is a suburb OF
Manila, near the bay. The other point
mentioned in tho dispatch, San Pedro
Macati, is between Manila and Laguna
,le Bay, and is one of the outposts which
protect the waterworks.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-An order has
been made by the navy department for
the immediate dispatch of the converted
yacht Vixen to Bluefields, Nicaragua.
The Vixen is now a formidable light
draught gunboat. She is at Norfolk, ft-
ting out for cruise to the Philippines,
via Suez route. The order to Nicaragua
will simply delay her arrival at Manila,
for it is the intention of the navy de-
partment to replace her in Nicaraguan
waters by another gunboat at an early
day. 1t is said at the navy department
that no advices of late date have been re-
ceived from Bluefelds tending to show
the existence of crisis there, and it is
likely that the purpose of sending the
Vixen is to replace the Detroit, which is
too large and of too great draught to
render the best service.
