MAY BE- TO ENGLAND
A Carriage Conveyed Him
Eight Miles From Rem
mes, Where He Board
ed a Train.

RENNES, Sept. 2O.-Dreyfus lef
Rennes early this morning. His des-
tination is unknown.
HIS RELEASE.
RENNES, Sept. 20.--Captain Dreyful
has at last been released from prison
His five years of solitary confinement
ended shortly before 3 o'clock thiI
morning.
When all was quiet and the streets
practically deserted a carriage wa'
driven to the entrance of the military
prison where Dreyfus has been con-
fined.
In the carriage were two men wrap
ped in their military coats and with
their vizors and caps pulled over their
faces. They were the provost general
of the surety department and the pre-.
feet of police.
A moment after the arrival of the
carriage the prison doors opened and q
file of guards csme out, quickly follow
ed by Dreyfus, who saluted the officers
and stepped into the carriage, which
drove away rapidly and silently.
Not WORD was exchanged during
this scene.
There is q great contrast between
this scene and the arrival of the fam
GUS prisoner two months ago. who was
placed in a carriage and dashed off into
the city, preceded by clanking cavalry.
HIS MOVEMENTS.
The carriage left town by the south
road and continued to Vern, village
about eight miles to the southeast,
where Dreyfus boarded train in the
direction of Nantes.
Nothing can be learned as to Drey-
fuss destination. Only the authorities
and the ex-prisoner's family are in pos
session of the secret and they refuse
absolutely to talk. Nantes is about
sixty miles due south from Rennes at
the mouth of the river Loire.
Here transportation might be OBJ
tsined for Dreyfus to England or he
might continue south to Bordeaux and
take ship. Half way between Rem
mes aud Nantes is Chateau Briant,
where the train might be taken east 20
Lyons and thence proceed to Switzer-
land.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The Secretary
of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage is in
the city en- route to Colorado. Mr..
Gage refused to talk politics, but he
freely discussed financial matters.
He does not believe that war in the

on the international money markets.
He also says that the shortage in sub

SHAFTER'S PARTY IN TEXAS

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Jan. 15.-Major
General Shafter and party left this evening
for San Francisco. They spent the day in
visiting the army post here, where they were
entertained bv Colonel Miner of the Sixth
infantry at luncheon and by a concert of
the regimental band Of the Sixth. Many
people congregated at the depot to see the

said to a correspondent Of the Associated

II do not wish to mix in anybody's bust
ness. I have never said TO General Eagan
or any one else that the beef over which
the controversy has arisen vas good, be-
cause I know nothing about it. l only know
and only have said that the beef at Santi-
ago was good. I saw 1t. l do not care to
say anything in reference to General Eagan's
indefensible TRADE on General Miles. The
matter has reached an acute phase and it is
not my wish or province to have anything
to say in connection with 1t further than
to disclaim having made to General Eagan

CuIbcrtson People Wonder nj Numer-
our Allegations of Fraud.
CULBERTSON. Neb.. Jan. 15.-(Special
Telegram. )-Conslderable has been said in
the various daily papers concerning the
purity OF the ballots in the israel Benja-
min contest. People out here are surprised
at the allegations OF fraud and would like
to see the persons before the
legislative committee whom 'populists claim
were guilty OF such work.
Il may be advisable to quote the indis-
putable facts as to the collection OF the
ballots:
Up to the time OF the contest the ballots
of Chase, Dundy and Hayes counties were
in the possession OF the county clerks. all Of
whom wore populists. In Hitchcock county
the clerk Is Il republican. but a warm per-
sonal friend OF BENJAMIN. When the time
came for the collection Of the ballots the
referee deputized Sheriff Crews, VINO is q
populist and a Benjamin supporter, but who
has the confidence OF all parties regardless
OF politics, to get them. Mr.. Crews secured
the ballots from the populist clerks, sealed
them in sacks as he saw At. deposited them
over night in the bank vault here, then
took them to Lincoln and delivered them to
the secretary Of state. Though a populist,
Mr.. Crews will testify to his procedure as
above; thus there was no opportunity for
fraud on the part OF republicans. The
ballots were held by popullst clerks, deliv-
cred and sealed to a populist sheriff and by
him guarded and given to a populist secre-
tary Of state.

Thousands Of Spanish Troops Are
Waiting for Transports.

waiting for Transports.
CIENFUEGOS, Jan. 15.-The entire mill
tary department Of Santa Clara, Major Gen
eral ]. c. Bates commanding, is quiet.
Twenty-seven thousand Spaniards still re-
main in the vicinity Of Cienfuegos, but one
transport is now loading and twelve others
are expected to arrive at an early date
1t Is improbable. however. that the evacua-
tlon will be completed much before the
middle Of February.
The Spanish troops, who are thicxly quar-.
tered in the warehouses and along the
wharves. swarm through the city day ant
night. THEIR officers crowd the hotels
The soldiers are poorly fed and have hal
no pay for months. They are quiet enough
but their presence makes impossible q
proper cleaning OF the town and prevents
activity on the part of the American admin
istratlon.
Six companies Of the Fourth Tennessee
are at Trinidad. six companies at Sanct
S%piritus. while the Sixth Ohio regiment Is
stationed here. A battalion OF the Sixth
Ohio will soon be assigned to the city OF
Santa Clara.
The Sixth Ohioans are living in tents out
side Cienfuegos and the general health OF
the men is excellent. The Spanish ba. racks
in town were found in a wretched condi-
ton and quite unusable; but the barracks
at Santa Clara city will furnish good accom-
modations and there is a well-equipped
hospital there.
Cuban soldiers garrison the country towns
In the provinces. as we'll as guard the plan
%tations. whose owners in some cases pay
each soldier Sc a month. The behavior Of
the Cuban troops in garrison capacity is
highly commended. They observe discipline
and maintain perfect order.
The Cuban mayors and civil administra-
tors In the interior towns of the depart
ment are awaiting the advent of the Amer
lean authorities. In numerous cases nc
communications have reached them from the
latter and they are proceeding with their
ordinary duties in default of instructions.
The customs receipts here at Cienfuegos
are from $4,000 to $4,000 per week.
The telegraph service Of the district is
still In the hands of the Spanish EN-.
ployes. Captain Richard. United States
signal corps, has made a requisition On
Havana for operators and the necessary I'm

throughout the department and many of the

QUAY IS SURE He WILL WIN

to Elect Him.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-This was

Business Mems league Is looking after the
anti-Quay forces. The headquarters Of the
two factions were closed today and no eff
fort was made by either side to make votes.

reason to believe that Senator Quay would
be reelected. Mr.. Van Valkenburg said
just the reverse. He claims not a break
has been made In the anti-Quay lines and
predicts Mr.. Quay will fall twenty-five
short Of a majority In the house on Tues
day.
Senator Quay's third defeat will follow
on Wednesday," Mr.. Van valkenburg said,
when or Joint ballot there will be a ma
jority against him too large for him to
overcome. His managers know that he
cannot win, and are only playing for posi-
ton and looking for a market"
Senator Quay's friends declare he Is so
confident Of his reelection that he will
start next Thursday for a months fishing
at st. Lucie, Fla. Senator Vest Of Missouri
and DR.. l.. Webster Fox Of Philadelphia
will go with him.
There are less than a score OF Legislators
here tonight and none is certain as to the
outcome OF the contest. On the surface the
result Is much in doubt and neither faction
Is over confident as to how the fight will
end.
