ZoIa On the Dreyfus Case.

New York, July 1O-A dispatch to the
World from Paris, signed by Emile
lola, says:
Positively / will not write of the
Dreyfus case for any newspaper what
soever-at least not until the coming
trial is over. What had to say. I have
said. / consider that l am no longer
needed. / withdraw / learn that a
man in New York boasts that he has a
contract with me TO write play about
Dreyfus. Another man talks of my
making lecture tours through the
United States. / learn, too. that GER
tain newspapers have recently pub
lished articles signed with my name
and are announcing that they will pub
lish other articles. When / raised my
voice for Dreyfus I merely desired to
rally the defenders of justice, then busy
elsewhere, to draw attention to crime,
the accomplishing of which was not to
be tolerated. ! am glad did 1t, be-
cause the agitation probably saved an
innocent man: because it proved in
valuable in educating the masses; be-
cause this revision marks the entrance
of the normal idea into politics where
principle is too constantly ignored Such
sacrifice in the long run is ruinous to
any nation. am glad l did it. Should
occasion arise | should enter protests
again. Now, however, my ideas on the
subjects are in the hands Of better
leaders of men than l am. These lead
ers are amply able to take the ideas 10
fructify in this beloved, generous
France. Having no doubt these ideas
will bear fruits in America, too, I can't
see how any articles, lectures, especi-
ally how any bad melodramas ! could
contribute to the discussion would help
the good work. Therefore, as, despite
what has been said, have none but a
literary ambition, | now return@o pure
~ literary labor"

Provisional RECOGNITION.

Washington, July 10.-Acting under
instructions from the president, Adju-
tant General C6rbin has sent tele-
graphic Instructions to General Brooke
commanding in Cuba, General Otis in
the Philippines, and General Davis in
Porto Rico, to give provisional recogni-
ton to the Spanish consular officers In
those islands. They have been notified
of the appointment of the various con-
sular officers of Spain accredited to the
military departments under the juris-
diction. and directed to permit them
to exercise their appropriate consular
functions. This action refutes entirely
the report that the United States gov
eminent had declined to issue exequa-
tiers to Jose F'ilippo Zegrario as Span
ish consul general at Havana.

KILLED IN
NEW YORK.
Murder of a Man Who
Had Been Working
in Delaware.

New York, Nov. 26.-The body of
John Gazsi, a farm hand, who came
here from Delmar. Delaware, on
Thursday, with $500 that he had
saved from his wages, and had in
tended to carry back to his home in
Austria, was found early yester-
day morning hanging by the neck
by his own belt from a second story
fire escape in the rear of No. oo
Washington street. All that was
left Of his fortune was 81. 70 in
American coins and steerage
ticket on the steamship Maasdam,
which sailed for Rotterdam yester-
day morning at o'clock. Daniel
J. Faour. a storekeeper at No. 6S
Washington street, discovered the
body and reported the case to the
police OF the Church street station.
Policeman Boylan and McManus
cut the body down. They learned
that Gazsi had on Thursday after
noon exchanged $500 in American
money for 1.22O Gulden and pur-
chased ticket for Oderberg.
There was no cut or bruise on
the body and strangulation was
evidently the cause OF death. The
police. after Investigating the case
laughed at the theory of murder,
and the reports of women that they
had heard cries for help. The po-
lice say that GazSi was probably
robbed in the neighborhood and
that he then killed himself.

Our OfYlcials Not Yet Advised OF Cap
tain Young's Alleged Discovery.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Some interest
was created in offlcial circles here yes
terday, particularly among naval Of
ficers, by the publication Of the results
of what purported TO be secret in
vestlgation regarding the destruction
of the battleship Maine In Havana har-
Dor which, the story said, was blown
up by gun cotton torpedoes planted In
the bay for that pufposs. ,Diligsnt in
quiry. however, fails TO show that any
official investigation has been made
at the direction of the authorities here,
although It is suggested that the Oh
ficials at Havana have discretionary
powers to make an investigation
should they see it, and that 1t is just
barely possible that as a result OF
such action some additional informa.
ton bearing on the subject has been
secured. Captain Lucien Young Is the
port oflcer at Havana, and It IL pos
sible, said one official, that he may
have dug up the information printed.
Secretary Long was very much inter-
ested in the story, but said he had no
information on the subject.
According to the story published,
Captain Young has, discovered that
six cases of gun cotton, each containing
$50 pounds. had been sent from Spain
to Admiral Manterola, at Havana. The
contents Of two of these cases. 1t was
declared, were either stolen from the
magazine where the stuff was stored
or taken away with the knowledge OF
the officials in charge. 1t is asserted
that Captain Young made the discov-
cry a month ago, and that our govern
ment will ask Spain to aid in captur-
ing the miscreants.

Frank Williams prevented q disas-

from Knightsville to this city, when
he noticed a broken rail which had
been pressed out of position by a
freight train some hours before. The
lad heard the west bound passenger
and mail train whistle for the Knights
willie station. Knowing that the train
did not stop there the boy ran up the
track and when he sighted the train
stood between the rails and waved his
hat. The engineer, seeing the boy
would not leave the track, reversed
the lever and applied the air brakes.

he was running so miles an hour when

struck the broken rail at such great
speed a fearful wreck would have re-
