after day for hours, I should thus have my
heart, my soul and my very entrails torn
without being permitted to reply. 1t is
terrible torture to impose upon an innocent
and loyal soldier.
it is a frightful thing! Frightful!
Frightful!''
This outburst caused great sensation.
The audience, profoundly stirred, began to
applaud, but the applause was quickly sup
pressed.
Colonel Jouaust pointed out to Dreyfus
that he had been given an opportunity to
speak at the end of every deposition and
that the court would continue to do so.
The court then adjourned.
AS the prisoner passed out in front Of the
seats assigned to the representatives of the
press his face was pale, but animated. He
seemed to be in state of great nervous
excitement.

Unexpected Development at Iowa
Democratic Convention.
DES MONIES, Iowa, August 16.-Just be-
fore the democratic state convention OPEN
ed its session in the auditorium here to-
day Cato Sells, who had been the most
prominent figure in the race for the nomi-
nation for governor, withdrew his name
and declined to remain in the fight. Sells
unexpected action threw the forces Of his
rivals into uncertainty and disorder, and
the delegates went into the convention
without the suspicion Of a slate and with
the outcome of the race for the head of the
ticket very much in doubt.
1t was stated by many Of Sells support
ers that Frederick White, who was the
democratic nominee two years ago, would
receive the support of the Sells forces.
The gathering was called to order by
Chairman Fred Townsend of Abba. who
spoke very briefly in introducing Cato Sells
of Vinton as temporary chairman.
S. Morrissey of Shelby was chosen secre-
tary. District committee reports were re-
ceived. after which recess was taken I'M
til 2 o'clock.

Situation Regarded rs Critical.

The situation in the Transvaal is regarded
by officials here as critical Thus far, how
ever, the State Department has not re-
ceived word from any source concerning
the strained condition of affairs, and there
is no disposition to take up such questions
of neutrality and the care of our interests
In that locality unless the war issue Is act
ually framed.
Chas Macrum is the United States consul
at Pretoria. He has sent a number of re-
ports. all of them dealing with commercial
affairs, and has not touched ON the delicate
political conditions existing. The United
States also has a consular agent, ]. H.
Manion, at Johannesburg, but he has not
been heard from since he was appointed
There have been recent press reports from
johannesburg that a colored blacksmith
claiming to be an American had been
roughly handled by the field comets, and
that he had raised the question of his
Americanship and had appealed to the
American representative. The State De-
partment has been expecting to hear from
MI Manion on this case. but nothing has
como thus far.
Admiral Howison's return will probably
shed much light on the condition of at

port of his movements

bled me somewhat, but l do not insist"
Here General Roget paused, the excite
ment under which he was laboring being
almost uncomfortable. In a thick, checking
voice ne continued:
"And yet, in the presence of disinterested
testimony like mine, you will not allow
preference to be shown to the evidence of
persons who have benefited by treason"
Roget Breaks Down.
At this point the general broke down md
tears streamed down his cheeks.
Resuming his testimony, the general set
to work in the effort to prove the guilt Of
Dreyfus. He declared there were traces of
treason in every paragraph Of the bor-
dereau and that Dreyfus alone, not Ester
hazy, could have been acquainted with the
plans 1t contained He criticised the depo-
sItion of Major Hartmann of the 22d Ar
tiliery In regard to this point.
The witness then trayersed the old
ground. trying to prove that DreyfuS alone
was aware of the secrets Of the new artil-
lery guns. of the plans for the concentra-
firing manual. He then endeavored to show
that Col. Picquart had recourse to fraud
ulent methods, with the intent of incrimi-
rating some one other than Dreyfus, and
the object of organizing campaign of sur
veillance of an unfortunate officer who
was gultless.''
This one hundred thousand francs, he
added, was a reserve accumulated by Colo
mel Sanderherr by strict economy. from the
funds at the disposal Of the war office. This
reserve had entirely disappeared.
In response to gestures of contradiction
from NJ Demange, General Roget admitted
the figures quoted were perhaps exagger-
ated. The witness next accused Colonel
Picquart of suppressing documents tending
to compromise Dreyfus.
