tents of Document.
Francis de Pressense, editor of lie Temps
of Paris, sends the following to the New
York Journal regarding the famous Drey-
fus Dosser:
l can speak with authority upon the Dos
sier now under examination at Rennes, for
l know its contents from the one man who
has mastered it best. That man is De-
mango, Dreyfus' lawyer He studied every
word of it twice, first in 1894 and again be-
fore the present trial began
The Dossier is a collection of numerous
documents supposed to bear upon the Drey-
fus case. 1t consists of two parts-nameIy,
military and diplomatic.
1t IS composed of about nine hundred diff
ferent papers: OF these, 100 are wholly I'M
important. There are many letters from
women retailing gossip. These women are
either personal friends of army officers or
their mistresses. Their chatter is of no
consequence.
1t is something like this: 81 met a wo-
man, who met another woman, who heard
another woman say she knew a woman
who dreamed that Dreyfus had relations
with the German embassy"
None but men blinded by class prejudice
could thlnh OF putting such silly letters in
the Dossier. In point of fact, some of the
higher officers are not only prejudiced, but
ignorant.
The intellectual weakness of Bofsdeffre
ana Mercler was the laughing stock of the
army before attention was called off by the
DreyfuS case
or the 200 serious papers. some are re-
ports OF more or less consequence There
are some forgeries in the Dossier
Inc reason for secrecy does not arise
from any thlng the Dossier contains regard
ing DreyIus. 1t is because certain docu-
ments or letters mention scandal in which
SchWarzkOppen, the German military at
tache, and Panizzardi the Italian military
attache, are alleged to be concerned The
Countess De MINISTER'S name is also con-
hected with That of another well-known wo-
man of Paris.
revelations of this nature, even if well
founded, would not bring on a war with
either Germany or Italy. If war is made
Tor such cause, then let it come
Inc German emperor, with his well-de-
Hneu Ideas of ethics, would be the first to
PUNISH the perpetrators of such a crime
Inc present examination is not definite

ments pertaining TO Dreyfus from Others
There Will then be a public examination
OF the former, but names, the mention of
Whlch might give offense, Will not be ut

IN the United States such evidence as is
furnished by the Dossier would not be

SYNDICATE BUYS TWO ISLANDS.
La Cruza and La Ramon Reported to
Have Buried Treasure

A New York dispatch says: An Ameri-
can syndicate has Just purchased for
s1OO,00O two islets, La Cruza and La Ra-
mon, off the coast Of Cuba. Gen. A. G.
Greenwood, who was on the staff of Gen.
Robert e. Lee during the civil war, has
been the active representative of the Amer
lean capitalists. He has just returned from
Cuba and in an interview today said:
I'VE believe we have a bonanza in La
Cruza and La Ramon. We are satisfied
that there are immense quantities of iron
there, but We also have reason to believe
that there are hidden there the vast treas
ures taken from Panama when that CITY
was the richest in the Americas. This is
no capt Kidd yarn. Historical records
snow that the treasures of Panama were
taken to La Cruza and La Ramon, and
with them were taken the captive women
and girls. Our titles are being perfected
and just as soon as this is accomplished I
am of the impression that something will
be done that will arouse worl6-wide in
terest."

The Naples correspondent of the London
Daily Mail telegraphs the substance of an
interview he has had with Admiral Dewey
who is represented as having said:
II was given TO understand that the
American victories over Spain had excited
nl-feeling against us in Europe, but SO far
as / am concerned, the reception given me
could not have been more fattering
1T will give me pleasure TO say this when
I return to America. and ! shall be happy
to do what l can To dissipate any American
prejudices against Europe excited by criti-
Cisms on American civilization"
Admiral Dewey, according to the Daily
Mails correspondent, declined to talk re-
gardlng the Philippines, but the correspond
ent asserts that he has the best reason to
know that Admiral Dewey does not share
the peSSimistic Views of some Americans
about the possibility of subjugating the in
