Rio de Janero, Aug. S-The Argen-
tine squadron escorting President Roca
of the Argentine Republic, has arrived
here. Fetes lasting nine days have been
arranged in honor of President Roca. A
Brazilian squadron went out to receive
the Argentine warships. The president
of Brazil Banoel Ferraz de Campos Sal
les, on board the Rio Cheulo, inside the
bay, received President Roca and his
suite, in the presence Of the members of
the Brazilian cabinet and a number of
Brazilian senators and representatives.
The officers were taken to the presiden-
tial residence.
the correspondent Of The Associated
Press was assured to-day by high au-
thority that if any attempt were contem-
plated to ally Latin America against the
United States, it was bound to prove q
failure for Brazil will do nothing to Of
fend America, her best customer for her
principal products. 1t Is even doubtful,
according to the same authority, wheth-
er Argentina will obtain a commercial
treaty In detriment to United States
wheat and -four as Argentina already
sells twice what she buys from Brazil.
The chief'benef1t to be derived from the
visit is a harmonious understanding
aiming at a reduction of the military
expenses Of the South American repub-
lies.

THE DREYFUS TRIAL.
Some Startling Reports MS to Future
Developments.


Copyrighted. 1890, The Associated Press.
Rennes, Aug. S.-Maitre Demange, the
principal counsel for Captain Dreyfus
expressed himself as well satisfied with
Yesterdays proceedings Colonel Jou-
aust had to play the part of severe
Judge; but, if his voice were rude and
his manner commanding toward the
prisoner, his eye was kind, and there
were no attacks to press home the
points raised by the indictment. M.
Chamoin, the custodian of the famous
secret dossier, said it would take four
days to- examine 1t, as the examination
would be behind closed doors and most
of the witnesses have gone to the sea-
side, Generel De Boisdeffre to Blnard
and General Dionne to Param. General
Mercier remains here, the guest of Gen.
eral st. German, who tells his friends
to be prepared for sensational evidence
that must crush Dreyfus and many
others with him.
M. Cavaignac talked at LIE Mans on
his way here. He said he expected two
coups de theatre. We now hear that
one will be an avowal by General Billot
that he said on his soul and conscience
Dreyfus was a traitor because he was
misled. The other will be Mercer driv-
en- to bay. The latter will issue from
this trial ruined, if Dreyfus is acqut-
ted. | hear he intends to hrow a
searchlight on the secret councils of
the Dupuy government, Of which he
was member in 1894, and to show what
diplomatic wires were pulled between
the arrest of Dreyfus and his embark
alton for Cayenne. Mercier refuses to
be interviewed. He looks bowed down
from care.
General Billot, on the other hand,
seems to have taken out new lease of
life. He also is extremely reticent, as,
indeed, are all the witnesses of note M.
Jaures only arrived last night. He
claims to know much that is in the Sc
eret dossier. An intercepted correspon-
1ence between two military attaches
who We're mixed up in the affair is said
by Jaures to be a shame to human ma
lure. These two officers wrote under
names and in a strain that
night not have shocked the young cour-
iers of Nero or Ribald crowd that
gathered around Lots house in the
doomed city. Possibly, nay probably,
he attaches in question never wrote

qual to the task of forging them, and
lie possibly did forge them for a pecu-
liary consideration. Hence, perhaps,

hrouded.

INDI1N TRADE WITH lMERTC4.
The Matter Again Called to Attention
of the Commons

London, Aug. Sin the house of
commons to-day Sir Alfred Hickman,
conservative member for Wolverlamp-
ton, drew attention to the practice of
the Indian authorities of purchasing
railway material in the United States.
He said that, if the Indian government
wanted something chaaply done which
could not be obtained in England such
course was, in a sense, justified, as
the government could not be blamed
for getting the thing wherever it was
to be found. But in most cases this ex-
treme hurry could be avoided by a lit
tie foresight. AS far as the price was
concerned, Sir Alfred Hickman con-
tended that it must not be assumed be-
cause the price was lower that the ar
ticle was cheaper Experimental shown,
he asserted, that while the American
engines were cheaper, the English en-
gines lasted better, and, in the long run,
were therefore really cheaper.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 8.-The war
In the Philippines is to be prosecuted
with vigor that ought to result in
speedy cessa ton of hostilitieS there. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
saw Secretary Root tonight in the Of
flea of the Hotel Champlain just after
he had said good bye to the president
and was preparing to take the train for
Washington. will the war in the Phil
ippines be prosecuted vigorously from
now on?" asked the correspondent. Mr..
Root turned on his heel and replied
quick as a flash: Yes, sir, the war in
the Philippines from now on will be
prosecuted with all possible energy.
The men, all the arms and all the sup
plies necessary to end the trouble in
the Philippines will be furnished at the
earliest possible moment"
How large force will be at the dis
posal of the commanding general?" was
asked There will be $4,000 men there
ready for active service at the close of
the rainy season, about the last of Oc-
tober," replied the secretary, "and more
will be sent there if necessary
AS to the rumor published in some of
the papers that President Mckinley and
he were not in agreement upon the pol
icy to be pursued in the Philippines, Mr..
Root said "Of course, that is all nom
sense" When asked whether General
Otis would be relieved of the command
of the American forces in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Root replied that he had
nothing to say on that point at this
time. 1t would be impossible for any
one to be more emphatic and determin
ed than Secretary Root was in his
avowal of the policy of ending the trou-
Bile in the Philippines.

cIRcUfT RACING AT UEEALo.
ireat Performance by SearchIight-
Nick Hubinger Loses Money.

Buffalo, Aug. S.-Searchllght's three
heats in the 2:04 pace at the Fort Erie
grand circuit meeting to-day were the
fastest ever paced or trotted i'll Can
ada. Bogash was not able, however, to
push the winner to the limit Search
light always sold a heavy favorlte in
the pools. A big crowd turned out for
the second day of the meeting. Spear
the 2:24 trot, the Electric City stakes,
and then came on and outfooted Owy-
hee at the wire for two heats. With
the pools selling $25 on the Baron to So
on the field they came out for the fifth
heat. Spear took the Baron far back,
and on the stretch, although he was
surely catching the leader one hundred
yards from the wire, it looked like a
fight. At that point, however, Baron
left his feet and galloped under the wire
second. 1t was big upset and Nick
Hubinger dropped big lot of money.
After three good heats in the 2:20 trot
the sun was still, at 7:15 o'clock, stream
ing over the track, but the judges de-
cided to postpone the race until to-
morrow. This did not suit Lockwood,
with George Carney, who had two heats
and was beating his party to pieces. He
protested to no avail, and then, after
the judges and spectators left, he came
out alone and did a mile in 2:3S and
claimed the race on the ground that
there was no occasion for postponement
and that the rules sustained him. The
judges tonight say that they will call
Carney tomorrow with the others and
if he does not show up they will expel

Dispatches es Ind icate That the VOlksraad
Will Confirm the Rejection of the
1oint-I"quiry rFoposition-one Re-
port Says 1t Has Already Done So
More War Preparations.

| London, Aug. ALL the dispatches
| from the South African correspond
ents of the London morning papers take
| it for granted that the secret session
| of the Volksraad, called last evening
| (Tuesday) will confirm the rejection of
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposal but leave
the way open to continue negotiations.
They also dwell upon the serious situa-
ton thus arising and upon the conster-
nation of the Uitlanders over the addi-
tion to the Grondwet, compelling them
to fight for the Transvaal, which seems
to indicate that the Transvaal govern
ment is expecting hostilities.
The Times correspondent at Pretoria
says: "A gloomy view is taken here of
the whole situation. The general ini-
preston in Boer circles is that Mr..
Chamberlain is forcing on a war and
that, consequently 1t would be futile to
make advances
The Daily Mail puglishes the follow
ing despotch from Johannesburg: by
special article added to the Grongwet
(the constitution of the TransvaaD the
president is authorized in the event of
war, rebellion or other emergency to
proclaim martial law and to compel ev-
cry inhabitant of the republic to bear
arms in it's defence. The Pretoria forts
are being strengthened, and Boer agents
are buying up all the available draught
oxen in Buchanaland."
Pretoria, Aug. S.-The reply to Mr..
Chamberlain's proposal Of a joint COM
mission of inquiry has not yet been
forwarded and the Transvaal govern
ment is still deiberating. Various ru-
mors are current regarding the result Of
the secret sessions of the Volksraad,
but no official announcement has been
made.
Cape Town, Aug. S.--A dispatch from
Pretoria, capital Of the South African
republic, says the Volksraad has de-
clined to agree to the suggestion Of
Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary
of state for the colonies, that the effect
which the Transvaal franchise reforms
will have on the Uitlanders should be
inquired into by "a Joint commission.
The Volksraad however, consents to
receive friendly suggestions.
