Important CabIeGrams Received
From Manila.
Chicago. July IA special TO the Times
Herald from Washington says:
important cablegrams have been re-
ceived at the state department from the
Philippine commission and at the war de-
partment from Gen. Otis, concerning
new move in the direction of peace.
THE dispatches have been in the hands
of the President for several days, but he
has declined to make them public because
the ultra-optimisuc views heretofore re-
ceived from the same source have not
been borne out by subsequent events.
1.-The latest dispatches, however, are
more encouraging than the previous ones
but the President wishes to have some
positive results before making them pub
lie. All that can be learned definitely
about them Is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to Gen. Otis by
Aguinaldo and some of his principal ad-
Visers.
1t was said by cabinet official tonight
that if the promises are fulfilled the vol
unteers now being enlisted will not be

Col. 5chwarzkoppen, being at that time
in Berlin, never saw the bordereau which
was forged Ia order to supply material
proof Of the guilt OF Dreyfus. The state
mcnt contains the assertion that
secret agents in Berlin, whose tesu-

that treason existed was undeniable and
everything indicated Dreyfus as the trail

All the war ministers, the statement fur
