AMERICAN PLAN
For an international Arbitra-
ton Tribunal Is Presented.
Differs from English Scheme and
Meets With Much Favor.
Seems Full OF Good Points. Practical and
Common Sense.

The Hague, May 31.-Both sections Of
the disarmament committee met, today,
and, as was anticipated, failed to agree
with regard to the questions of new in
ventions in armament-. The drafting
committee Of the arbitration commit
tee made some advance, this Afternoon.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan differs from the
British proposition.
1t provides that each country shall
appoint single arbitrator to be Sc
Iccted by the supreme courts Of the
signatory powers. The tribunal shall
have a permanent central seat and be
composed 0f at least three judges who
shall not he natives or residents of
countries belonging to the powers in
disaccord.
The general expenses shall be pro-
portionaIly shared. In the event of
new facts arising within three months
Of a decision. the same tribunal shall
have power to try again the questions
in dispute. Recourse to the Tribunal
shall Dc optional for the signatory
powers. The tribunal shall not take
cognizance of any dispute until assur-
ed that the parties concerned will ac-
cept its decision.
The convention shall come into force
and the tribunal be established when
nine powers, eight Of whom shall be
| Europeans or American and four Of
whom shall be signatOries of the decla
ration Of Paris, 1856, shall have adher-
ed to the convention.
Apart from the above project the
Americans proposed a special scheme
of mediation, providing that, in the
event Of a difference arising between
two powers. each shall choose another
| power To act as its second. The pow
| ers thus selected shall do all they can
to reconcile the opponents. Those sec
onding powers shall. even when war
| has broken out, continue their egorts
with a view of ending hostlities as
| soon as possible.

A SMALL ATTENDANCE
Al Court Of Cessation -Monau Completes His
Argument for Revision.

Paris, May 31.-The surroundings of
the palace of justice We're almost de-
serted. today, when the court of cas-
Sation resumed hearing the arguments
in the application for a revision of the
Dreyfus trial Many of the public seats
in the court were empty. NJ Manau.
the procurator general, continued his
speech which was interrupted yester-
day by the adjournment of the court.
and his voice could be heard through
out the hall contending that Major
Count EsterhaZy ana not Dreyfus was
the author Of the Borderau During the
course of his remarks he said that
whoever was guilty somebody had
committed the crime of treason Els
terhaZy however. he pointed out, hav-
ing been acquitted of the authorship of
the Bordereau, cannot again be prose
cuted on this ground, even if he were
a hundred times guilty.
Later. Nj. Manau said: What proof
exists that there has been an act Of
treason of a nature tending to com
promise the security of the state? Are
We not, perhaps, in the presence Of
number OF unimportant documents as
btii htitlti NiIcuSi 1T, anu, tblStti u+Ill-
ly. in the presence of Il mysterious
hoax, an audacious piece Of swindlng
perpetrated by the author of the Bor-
dereau upon his foreign correspond
ent? This is a terrible question. and
one which involves the most painful
presumption-that of the martydom of
the man whose innocence seems estab-
lshed by several new facts"
NJ. Manau's address was largely a
repetition Of the statements of the re-
porter Of the case. The prOcurator-
generals analysis Of the secret docu-
ments was very close and he wound up
with an emphatic declaration that
there was nothing in the secret Dos
sier to inCriminate Dreyfus, saying:
we do not understand why there
was such delay in submitting them to
investigation. This statement caused
a sensation. Continuing. NJ. Manau re
| marked: "Of the three secret docu-
ments by which NJ. Cavaiguac Gormer
minister of war; sought to justify the
condemnation, two We're forgeries and
the third does not apply to Dreyfus. ("
This declaration uttered with impress
| sive solemnity had an intense effect
| upon the audience. In conclusion. NJ.
Manau said: I'VE assert that several
new phases exist of such nature as to
prove Dreyfus' innocence. Therefore
| may it please the court to quash the
| Judgment of Dec. -. 1894, and send
| Dreyfus, as a defendant. before such
courtmartial as the court may decide. :"
| This statement caused applause. which
| the president suppressed by ordering
the court to be cleared. Later the
| court adjourned.
