DREYFUS TRIAL SITUATION.
Review of Testimony Yesterday Five
Witnesses for Him.

Rennes, Aug. 2S.-The balance of the
evidence to-day, for change, was in
favor of Dreyfus. Five witnesses were
for him and two against him. The most
interesting testimony was that of Chief
Handwriting Expert Charavay, who
had come to declare that he had chang
ed entirely his opinion which, in 1894,
was against and now is in favor Of
Dreyfus, who he to-day affirmed was
not the author of the bordereau. His
candid confession Of error was received
with murmurs of satisfaction in court,
which became discreet applause in
spite of Colonel Jouaust's patent dis
approval, when he solemnly added. Il
declare here, on my soul and con-
science, that the bordereau was written
by Esterhazy."
The most important incident, how
ever, was Colonel Jouaust's acquies-
eence in Major Carriere's request that
q rogatory commission be instructed to
take Colonel Du Patty de CLAIMS deposit
the government commissary, Maitres
Labori and Demange having no faith in
such a measure, because it allows Du
Patty de Clam to escape cross eXamina-
ton, which is the only thing worth hav-
ing under the present circumstances.
Du Patty de Clam being a witness for
the prosecution, Major Carriere will
simply prepare list of questions which
an examining magistrate will put to
Du Patty de Clam at his residence, and
nobody supposes that the witness will
be very much embarrassed by the in
terrogatories.
To-day the central figure in the court
yard, the meeting place for all the lead
ing personages of the trial during the
suspension Of the sessions, was Captain
Freystaetter, who was the subject of
many flattering remarks upon his man
ly and soldier-like bearing Indeed the
interest in him was so great that some
persons waited all night long outside the
door of the court in order to obtain sit
ting room in the rear part of the court
room, in the hope Of seeing him at to-
days session, an impression having
gone abroad that he might be recalled.
His modest and frank manner inspired
admiration in all except the generals
and other military witnesses for the
prosecution, who seemed afraid of him
and scowled in his direction from the
other side of the court yard. Captain
Freystaetter will not remain here until
the end of the trial, but will leave
Rennes in few days. M. de Freycinet,
former minister of war, arrived this af-
ternoon and will testify tomorrow.

NEWS FROM H1T1N.I.
Yellow Fever Among sTroops--Qnestion
of CMbn's Liberty.

Havana, Aug 2S.-Owing to the de-
velopment of five cases Of yellow fever
of mild type among the United States
troops at Cabanas fortress the contin-
gent there was removed to-day to a
camp about mile away. 1t is believed
that this will prevent any general out
break. The authorities have not con-
sidered the barracks at Cabanas un-
healthful, and the troops had been
there three months. 1t is quite certain
that the sickness was introduced by
men who had frequented barrooms and
other unsanitary places Only two
cases of yellow fever now remain
among the United States troops at
Puerto Principe.
La Lucha says editorially to-day:
Cuba has not been governed for eight
months by the military. Our people all
recognize that the hand of commanders
has been light Although the military
government is vicious in principle, the
mild and easy methods of the Ameri-
can authorities have rendered condi-
tions very tolerable. Justice demands
an admission that the Americans have
done their best in the administration,
taking into account the special necessi-
ties of the Cuban people,"
The Discussion says: Cuba will be
free, or ruin and destruction and death
will result for everybody
The Neuvo Pals says: "If Cuba be-
comes free the result will be general
chaos"

GRAIN TRAFFIC IND Products.



Washington, Aug. 2S.-The interstate
| commerce commission to-day announc-
ed its decision in a case involving rela-
tive rates on export and domestic
| traffic in grain and grain products. The
commission holds that in the absence
of some justifying reason it would not
be right for American railroads to per-
manently transact business for foreign
ers at less rate than that for which
they render corresponding service to
American citizens. AS to rates on eX-
port and domestic shipments of grain,
the commission decides:
Market conditions sometimes in case
of wheat, but seldom in case of corn,
may Justify an export rate through the
port of New York somewhat lower than
the domestic rate, and Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News
usually take rates which are certain
dfferentials below the New York rate
on both domestic and export tra1flc
During the period of closed lake naVl-
cation the export and domestic gram
rates to New York and the other ports
mentioned should ordinarily be the
same. Rates to other ports, including
Boston and ports on the Atlantic north
of Boston and Galveston, New orleans
and other gulf ports, may perhaps be
properly made lower on export than on
domestric traffic to enable them to COM
pete for the export business. Such an
adjustment of rates would be to TIE
advantage of the carrier and just alike
to the American consumer and the
American producer. But as the prob
lem is primarily one for the carrier
rather than this commission no order&
made in relation to this branch of the
case. But export grain rates should not
be less to the seaboard from any point
than from any intermediate point on
the same line.
The commission holds that public pol
icy and good railway policy alike seem
to require the same rate on export
wheat and export flour, but in view OF
all the conditions shown in the investi
cation somewhat higher rate on ex-
port flour than on export wheat is not
in violation of that statute. The pub
Used difference in rates is too wide and
the rate on flour for export should not
exceed that upon export wheat by
more than two cents per 100 pounds.
The relation of rates on domestic ship
ments of flour and wheat is not in
volved in this decision, as the export
and domestic freights are handled un-
der different conditions. 1t further ap-
peared that carriers engaged in the
transportation of export flour from Min
neapolis at a rate which is 1 1-2 cents
less than the domestic rate to Slle port
of export, refuses to make any CORE
spending concession to that port.
The commission rules that this is uR-
just and unlawful discrimination
against such intermediate traffic and
that whatever line participates in such
lower export rate on -four from Mime
apois must make corresponding rate
upon similar traffic from intermediate
points.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-A dispatch has
been received at the war department
from General Otis, under date of Aug
ust 26 stating that Dato Mundl OF
Zamboango attacked and defeated the
insurgents there on that date, killing
thirty of them. The dispatch as given
out at the war department is much
confused and the officials have been
unable to ascertain just who Dato
Mundl is. 1t is thought, however, he is
one of the smaller chiefs. The text of
the dispatch follows:

TENSION AT>CAPE COLONY.
Assembly Discusses Transit of Arms
Letter from President SteyM.

Assembly Discusses Transit of Arms
Letter from President Steyn.
Cape Town, Aug 2s.-The Cape house
OF assembly is again debating the ques-
ton of the transit of arms intended for
the orange Free State and presumably
the Transvaal. Evidently a state of ex-
treme tension exists, as every speech
made to-day was received with almost
absolute silence from the chamber. The
Hon. William p. Schreiner, the premier.
personally appealed to his followers to
refrain from answering the criticisms
of the opposition lest they should drop
words of ill-feeling.
The entire opposition rose to support
the motion for adjournment made by
the Rt Hon. Sir John Gordon Sprigg,
the former premier. Sir John, who re-
peated the arguments he had used in
the previous debate, asked the premier
what action the Cape cabinet proposed
to take in the matter. He said that
the recent speech of the British secre-
tary of state for the colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, at Birmingham, England,
had forced all to the conclusion that
South Africa was on the. brink OF war,
unless the TransvaaF met the British
demand. In his opinion the Cape gov
ernment ought to follow the example
of Portugal at Delagoa Bay and refuse
to permit the transit of arms as long as
the crisis lasted.
After Sir John Gordon Sprigg had
finished, pause occurred, the house
waiting for the premiers reply. Final
ly Mr.. Schreiner arose and declared
that under the customs convention, the
Orange Free State was justified in inn
porting arms through Cape Colony,
and he did not intend to tear up that
contention, knowing, as he did, that
there would be no war. In the event
of war;" he said, Il would not lack the
true imperial spirit"
Mr. Schreiner then read letter from
President Steyn of the Orange Free
State, denying any intention on the
part of that government to take arms
in any aggressive or offensive manner
against the British government or the
Cape Colony. 1t was the fixed policy of
the Orange Free State, President Steyn
continued, never to take arms UP ex-
cept when attacked or in support of
its treaty obligations. The letter Gre
atei profound impression, as clearly
showing the purpose of the importation
of firearms. Several members dwelt
upon this phase; and Mr.. Schreiner
promised, in the case of future consgn-
rnents, to consult the governor of Cape
Colony, Sir Alfred Miner, which he adj
mitted he had not previously done. He
also asserted that the Cape Colony
would maintain neutrality in the event
of war.

Philadelphia, Aug 28-Joseph Brown
and Walter r. Donovan of New Haven
Conn, were arrested here to-day on the
charge of violating section IL Of the
Dingley tariff act, which prohibits the
importation of any copy or stimulation
of any name or trademark, and pro-
yides that the same shall not be admit
ted at any custom house. From the
evidence adduced at the hearing 1t ap-
pears that the defendants were at one
time employed by the j. G. Hubinger
Brothers & Co., starch manufacturers
of New Haven, and that they were go
ing about the country selling starch
packed in boxes that were fac-simile
of the firms boxes. 1t was also shown
that the boxes also had the firms trade
mark printed on them in Toronto, Can
ada, and that they were shipped from
Hamilton to Buffalo, where they passed
through the custom house after the duty
had been paid on them. The govern
ment officials claim that this is viola
tion of the clause which protects the
marks. The men were held in $1,000
bail for a further hearing. This is said
to be the first case of it's kind heard un-
der the Dingley tariff act.

ter r. Donovan is a salesman for HUI
binger Brothers and boards at 1874 Howe
street. There are six Joseph Browns
