GUNS "DoING TIME.
Queer Spanish Custom of Furnishing
and Rewarding Bad and
Good Weapons.

Some four years, ago I called at the
Spanish artillery barracks, San Fran
cisco square, this city, for the purpose
of visiting an officer friend of mine.
While waiting for him at the entrance
l happened to see mauser rifle hang
ing by the gun sling to nail in the
wall.
1t struck me as peculiar to see such
good piece abandoned and getting
rusty, so asked Spanish soldier what
was wrong with the gun.
"Why, it's in for three years."
"Whatdo you mean by that?' I asked.
"Well, l mean what l say. That gun
was sentenced by court-martial for
bruising a soldier at the pistol galler.'
while practicing some time ago. 1t
went off without the trigger being
pulled"
Still don't understand what you
are telling me-" replied.
well, it is so, just the same. Why, if
you ever happen to go to San Cristobal
castle you will see a gun "a cannon)

sells when the city was attacked 100
years ago. That cannon has been
knighted by her majesty, and is entitled
to be called His Excellency,' like reg
ular general, and whenever we pass it
we have to present arms!"
Since then | have been asking every
officer whom l knew whether the story
was true or not, and they have all af-
firmed what the soldier said. The last
one l asked was a cavalry officer, who
answered thus:
well, some time ago they used to
punish and reward all artillery nipple.

Moro castle behaved when the Dutch
attacked this city two centuries ago.

at occurred several years ago--near-
II 20--and it beat the Cardiff Giant all

man, shaved the back of his head from
the crown to the nape of the neck and
then grated the face of another man
on it. The result was a double-faced

those who worked the trick. The freak

"Wait a minute" interrupted a by
stander, who, according to the Phila-

come from?"
The relator of the tale looked at his
interlocutor with scorn.
"Where did it come from?'' he re-
piled. 'Why, from another Chinaman,
of course. didn't mean to say that
the grating process was successful

More General Officers Needed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-It is be-
lieved that after the new regiments are
on their way to the Philippines the sub
ject of more general officers in the islands
will be considered. There are now three
major generals of the regular army and
six brigaoiers. OF this number only one
brigadier, General Otis, holding a con-
mission as major general of volunteers, is
in the Philippines, ID at present, will not
coded that the number of general officers
in the Phnppines, 13 at present, will not
be sufficient to command the force of
G0,000 men, but no selections have yet
heen made.

Jimenez Refused Entry Mt Santiago

SANTIAGO. Cuba, Aug. 29.-General
Juan lsidro Jimenez, the revolutionary
aspirant to the presidency of the repub-
lie of Santo Domingo, arrived here with
his two sons by the south coast, but was
not permitted to land. The refusal of
the authorities to allow him to go ashore
annoyed him exceedingly, and he refused
to grant a newspaper interview, alleging
that the press invariably misrepresentei
him. A large crowd of Dominican sym
pathizers and refugees endeavored to go
on board the steamer to salute Jimenez,
but were refused permission. They gave
free vent to their indignation.

DREYFUs FAVORED.
Expert who Testified Against Him
In 1894 Now Recants.


RENNES, Aug. 29.-The fourth week
of the second trial of Captain Dreyfus
opened in the Lycee building to half
empty benches, and the succession of eX-
pert testimony heard justified the lack Of
interest shown. The witnesses were diff
ferent handwriting experts, who devoted
themselves to demolishing one another's
evidence.
The balance of the evidence, for a
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 he
had changed entirely his opinion, Which
in 1894 was against and now is in favor
of Dreyfus, who, he 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 disapprova.
when he solemnly added, II declare here,
on my soul and conscience, that the Dor
dereau was written by Esterhazy.'
4he most important incident, however,
was Colonel Jouaust's acquiescence 20
Major Carriere's request that a rogatory
commission he Instructed to take Colonel
du Patty de CLAIMS deposition. The I'M
tiative came purely from the government
commissary, Maitres Labor and De
mango having no faith in such a measure,
because it allows Du Patty de Clam to
@ cape cross examination, which is the
only thing worth having under the pres
ent circumstances. Du Patty de Clam
being a witness for the prosecution, Ma
jor Carriere will simply prepare a list of
questions which an examining magistrate
will put to Du Patty de Clam at his resi-
dence, and nobody supposes that the wit
ness will be very much embarrassed by
the interrogatories.
