TRANSVAAL DISPATCHES.
Text Issued by Joseph Chamberlain, the
 Colonial Secretary.

London, September This evening the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain issued the text of the Trans Vaal dispatches of August 19 and 21, and of the reply of the imperial government on August 2S. The publication is accom- panied by a note emphasizing the advisa- bility of making the correct versions known, owing to the fact that an incorrect version has been published in Pretoria.
 The Transvaal dispatch of August 19 contains the proposals regarding the fran chiSe, which go upon the assumption that Great Britain will agree that the present intervention does not constitute a prece- dent and will allow the suZerainty question to drop. The dispatch of August makes the proper concessions expressly condi- tional upon Great Brtains understanding not to interfere in the future affairs of the Transvaal, not to insist upon further as- sertion of the existence of the suzeranty and to agree to arbltra ton.
 The reply of the imperial government, dated August 2S, declares that Great Brit ain considers that the proposals put for ward as an alternative to those of July 31 assumed the adoption in principle of a franchise which will not be hampered by conditions impairing its usefulness, and which will secure immediate representa- ton.
 With respect to intervention the imperial note says that the government cannot de- bar themselves from their rights under the conventions, nor divest themselves of the obligations of civilized power to protect its subjects abroad from injustice.
 The note concludes by remining the Transvaal that other matters exist which the grant of a political franchise will not settle and which are not the proper subjects of arbitration. These, the note declares it will be necessary to settle concurrently with the questions already under discuss sion and they will form with the question of arbitration proper subjects for the pro- posed Cape Town conference.
 The Pretoria versions of the imperial re- ply was that MT. Chamberlain was unable to consider the Transvaal's proposials as an alternative to joint commission of in- Quiry.

 The premier, while expressing his sense of the value attached to the visit of the cardinal on such an errand, said the gov ernment must take counsel of itself aloiie in settling present crisis. "We have shown great patience" M. Waldeck- -Rosseau de- clared, but all those who respect justice will hold that the law must prevail"
 Two professional beauties, Mile. Liane de Pougy and Mile. Blanche d'Arvilly, made an attempt to revictual the fortress in a stylish landau. They had concealed legs of mutton and other edfbles beneath flow CTS, and they pretended to be dying with curiosity to see the grand Occidental the name by which the building is known. The police, however, were suspicious, and es- pecia1ly with reference to e garland two yards long. which proved to hide loaf of bread. The dodge failed. The police dis covered and stopped up a hole in the cellar of the house adjacent, through which food supplies had been conveyed to the be- isaguered anti-Semftes.

SCHEME FOR PERSONAL GAIN

Washington, September 1.-Something akin to an insurgent round robin" has recently come to the attention of the war department officials in the budget of mail advices received from Manila. This is in the form of published letter from Isabel Artacho, who is described by the Manila papers as a man of importance and the former partner of Aguinaldo."
 His statement is made under oath, and bears date of July 19. It is in part as fol- lows:
 That the present rebellion, far from aiming at the true emancipation of the country, is carried on to gratify personal political ambitions, mean and spurious af- fectation, in order to perpetrate with im- munity, under the guise of a so-called po- litical system, established under the name of republic, acts eminently barbarous treacherous and despotic, and crimes un- known to tine code of penalties throughout the world.
 That the present rebellion against the sovereignty of the United States. which. having for its professed object the abso lute independence of the people of the Philippine islands, is in reality movement
 
 erable slavery-domestic slayery-and to place in the hands of an individual the sacred attributes of God-country-king.
 That the present rebellious movement does not have the support of the best ele ments of the inhabitants of the islands. those who are free to exercise a wise and honest discrimination, for they recognize that instead of bringing them the desired peace and prosperity, the assumption of in- dependence will lead to self-murder for the state of chaos that will result will bring misery and ruin to the people
 That consistent with his convictions and ideas, as all free and constant men should be, he has confidence in his heart that the powerful and generous United States of North America, whose governing institu- tions have for their basis the principle of the most ample liberty, of thought, in all it's manifestations of reason and justice. will establish her sovereignty in the Phil ippines in accordance with the obliga lions to which she sas pledged herself before the world, inter aia restore peace and order in the Philippines, to establish lib- eral institutions there and to lead the peo- pie along the path of progress to individual and national prosperity

Against Imp ,riili1m

"Yes, I endorse the platform heartily on this point. l am opposed to a seedless war in the Philippines. My record shows where I stand. During the conflict with Spain, while war of humanity was being waged to carry the blessings of freedom to an op- pressed people, daily through tine columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer I upheld the hands of the president, and pleaded with the people to support the administra tion, but when that war was over and peace was declared, I, with my party and my paper, was opposed to paying $2O, ,0O0, 900 to purchase another war which is being waged against peple whom we armed to fight Spain and having armed them against their lawful sovereign, we now propose to de- stroy them because they ask of us the same freedom that they have fought for a hundred years to obtain from Spain. The money of the hard working people of the United States has been used to bribe the sultan of Sulu and help him in maintaining those twin relics of barbarism, slavery and polgamy, and all this is being done under the flag of the free I am opposed to war being waged by politicians for plunder."

Rem )tember 1.LThis was a very sat1sIac < day for Dreyfus. The Beaure- paire witness, Germain, who was to prove that Dreyfus attended the Alsatian maneu- vers, founf his statement denied by a rep. utable witness, while Germain himself It was proved, underwent two convictions for swindling This was the only testimony against Dreyfus, the remainder of the de- positions being in his favor. Several of them were {ery weighty, as in the case of Captain Caivelho, General Sebert and Ma jor Hartmann, their evidence going to show that partifiulars of the firing manual of the '12O' gun and hydro-pneumatic brake were almost matters of common Knowledge among the officers, and that the contention that Dreyfus. from his special position on the staff and peculiar movements, could be acqusinted with them, has no solid ba- sis.
 This vas the sum of today's proceedings, which were not marked by any incident of unusual note, the Roget-Brayere episode. in which General Roget clearly gave him- self away, being the only matter which ate tracted special attention.

M Be"tilon was severely snu'bbed by the presiding officer when he wished to reply to M Sdbert, who had condemned his sys- tenn as Fantastic.
 As soon as Sebert had finished his testi- mony M. Bertillon bounced up and asked to be allowed to speak, but Colonel Jouaust quickly turned to the usher and said: Bring in the next witness" whereupon M. Bertillon, extremely annoyed. returned to his seat.
 Colonel Jouaust aroused the interest of the audience by remarking:
 "Maitre Labori the other day asked that information be obtained regarding the character of certain witnesses. I would not have acceded if the witnesses had not expressed a similar desire. Information which has now reached me will be read"
 The clerk of the court accordingly read a report regarding Nj. Du Bruil, the Paris ian friend of M De Beaurepaire, who tes- tffied August g, to the effect that Dreyfus met German attache at the house of mutual friend named Bodson, and where cross-examination reflected severely on his reputation. The report was to the effect that M. Du Brun never was a horse dealer, as claimed by M. Labori, and that the character of the witness Was most respect able, he being held in general esteem. .
