TWO HUNDRED FACE DEATH.
Steamer City of Grand Rapids Nearl
Founders in Midlake.

Steamer City of Grand Rapids Nearly
Founders in Midlalxe.
South Haven, Mich, Aug. THE
passenger steamer City of Grand Rap
ids, with 200 persons on board, mar
rowly escaped laundering in midlake.
The steamer was bound for Milwaukee,
and was thirty-five miles out in the
lake when large amount of water was
discovered in the hold. The water was
pouring in from many leaks, and the
engineer was unable to start the
pumps.
When the water was within two
inches of the fires the steamer was
turned around and headed for South
Haven. The passengers were awakened
and told to prepare themselves for
wat might happen. A wild scramble
for life-saving appliances ensued. Just
before the fires were put out the en-
gincr succeeded in rigging up one Of
the pumps, which held the water in
check until port was reached, at 6
o'clock in the morning. Two inches
more water would have shut off the
supply of steam from the boilers, and
the steamer must have sunk in mid
lake.

able to follow the examination closely.
Even nj. Labor, who was seated be-
hind Dreyfus, within three yards of
him, held his hand to his ear in order
to catch the questions and answers.
Colonel Jouaust submitted Dreyfus to a
rigorous examination, more in the style
of a prosecuting counsel than Judge,
and made gestures Of impotence at
some direct denials which Dreyfus gave
repeatedly to the judges questions. The
prisoners voice resounded frequently
through the court room, as he energeti-
cally replied:
''No, my colonel" or "Never, never"
to questions put to him.
The widow of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, dressed in deep mourning, was
present in court and replied to her
name in the roll call of witnesses. Es-
terhazy was not present.
Declares He Is Victim.
Colonel Jouaust finally handed the
prisoner long slip of cardboard, upon
which the borderau was pasted: do
you recognize this document"
Dreyfus replied, with a passionate
outburst: "No, my colonel. l am in
nocent. l declare ii here as / declared
it in 1894, | am victim"-his voice
here was choked with sobs, which must
have stirred every spectator in court.
The voice of the prisoner did not seem
human. 1t resembled the cry of
wounded animal.
AS he ended his reply, with the words
five years in the galleys. My wife,
my children, my God, am innocent;
innocent" Colonel Jouaust said:
'Then you deny it?"

NEW COMMAND FOR LAYTON.
He VIII Have Charge of the Cavalry
When Fighting Begins.
New York, Aug. IA special from
Washington says: 1t is understood
that the plan of operations for the fall
campaign in the Philippines contem-
plates a division of the islands into
several military departments, and
General Lawton will have command in
one in which the cavalry troops oper-
ate. 1t is probable that General Wheel
er will be given command of brigade
of cavalry in General Lawton's de-
partment.
The boundary line of Lawton's de-
partment will embrace the territory in
which there will probably be the heav-
lest fighting, so that Lawton will be
in direct charge of the most important
forces in the field, and in this way
General Otis, while not being officially
discredited, will be relieved of much
of the responsibility in connection with
the conduct of the war, and will be left
free to perform the duties of a military
governor.
Secretary Roots short experience in
the war department has already con-
WINGED him that the views of the mil
ttary commanders subordinate to Gen.
eral Otis, who favor larger military
force than recommended by that OFF,
Ger, are worthy of serious considera-
tion. There are reasons to believe he
will recommend that the force be fur

why some newspapers took objections
to my point of view on the Philippine
question, as said nothing that is not
voiced by the majority of the people on
every hand. / only stated what have
been my convictions from the first. So
far the warfare has ragged fifty miles
north of Manila and only few miles
to the east. There are thousands of
miles yet to subdue and fully 10000 900
people to subjugate. / believe in ter
minating the difficulty as soon as pos
sible, and before many more lives have
been needlessly wasted. / have said
nothing that deserves censure. do not
