over to the board of Charities Tor FoTto
Rico, in whose charge the distribution OF
material has been placed, and who VIII
formally, in detail, acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the supplies in question.
1.-THE fruit and most of the food crops
of the island are totally destroyed. Upon
these, as you well know, the people sub
sst, living from hand to mouth, and with
out these there is nothing intrinsic IN
Porto Rico, nor any food reserve upon
which they can live until new crop Is
produced. Neither have they the means
of purchasing food, even were it here IN
abundance.
II believe that the great problem to be
solved is more question of FOOD IMAM
anything else and to supply this every
effort should be bent. The human ami
mai can live here with very little cloth
ing and shelter, but without food there
can be only one result.
"If my conclusions as to the extent OF
the destruction of food supplies be cor
rect, the stress of hunger will be an In
creasing one from this forward for many
weeks, and we must prepare to reed mol
less than a quarter of million people
before the earth can bring forth fresh
supplies. What this means is shown by
a single mathematical demonstration,

Incidentally during the discussion It ap-
peared that the scope OF the compina,
tion would be broader than this, and
there was more than (ne intimation OF
deep seated distrust on the part OF the
United States. Two or three events nave
occurred since that discussion to
strengthen this feeling.
First there was decision adverse to
Colombia in the Cerruti case, and as
President Cleveland was the arbitrator
that unpopular decision was charged
against the United States.
Then last spring came the cruise OF
the United States gunboat Wilmington
up the Amazon and the Orinoco. 1hese
voyages were undertaken from the most
innocent scientific and commercial mo
tives. Commander Todd of the Will
mington found that there were no charts
Of these vast rivers and consequently
was obliged to take soundings as he pro-
ceeded. Incidentally he was enabled to
make rough running charts OF the rivers
that mny be of value to commerce here
after. His actions were, however, mis-
interpreted by some of the natives,
though in the end Captain Todd is be-
Eeved to have perfectly satisfied the
Brazilian "tTicials as to the rectitude OF
his purpose. 1t is said at the depart
ment that there is not the slightest
foundation for the story that secret
agents of either the state or navy depart
ments have been sent into South Ameri-
ca, and it is quite certain that there have
never b.y4 any negotiations with Bolivia
respecting the acquisition by the United
States Of lands in the interior of South
America.

The Fight to Save Dreyfus.

Paris, Sept. 12.-The fight to save
Dreyfus will be resumed at once.
Maitre Demange visited NJ. Waldeck'
Rousseau and submitted to him several
questions bearing on legal points in the
trial. Upon the answer to these ques'
lions will depend the future course of the
counsel for Dreyfus.
The prisoner will remain at Rennes a
few days Opinions differ as to just what
his sentence means.
Will he be again degraded7 Will the
time he suffered on DEVILS island be de-.
Quoted from his sentence or offset it en-
tirely?
Colonel Jouaust declared today that
Dreyfus must serve ten years, but speak,
Ing with friends, he expressed convic'
ton that there would not be a fresh
degradation. This ceremony requires
breaking the prisoners sword and tearing
of his epaulets. But Dreyfus never
had his sword restored to him, and he
only wore undress uniform, without epau-
let's, so that 1t would be impossible to
carry out the regulations for degradation.
This Is Colonel Jouaust's view.

The Views of Esterhasy.

London, Sept. 12.-Major Esterhazy
comments on the verdict in the Dreyfus
case in The Evening News, saying Drey-
fus was justly condemned, as the in.
evitable result Of the evidence collected
by General Mercier. This, according to
Esterhazy, bore conviction to the minds
of the judges, and, he added, the court
martial, following the previous finding
declared Dreyfus guilty and I innocent"
Continuing, Esterhasy said:
II believe the sentence was in &C.
eordance with an understanding with
the government. Dreyfus is in position
to claim a reduction of his sentence by
one-half. The whole business was a
farce, arranged in advance, and, doubt
less, he will soon be liberated"

Rennes, Sept. 12.-Mme. Dreyfus has
again seen her husband Indeed she
will see him daily until he is taken to
the military prison, and then their sepa-
ration will be brief, for she will follow
him.
Dreyfus Is in very poor health, despite
his efforts to be cheerful. He does not
look for any change in his sentence, but
expects his five years on Devils island to
be countedfor his imprisonment and that
he will soon be free. 1t Is Of his wife
and children he thinks now.
He said to Nine. Dreyfus:
II am not uneasy regarding myself, as
I shall soon be free, but l think OF you
and my poor children. They will soon
be branded as the children of traitor
Dreyfus has not seen his children since
a month before his degradation in Oc-
tober, 1894 He is very anxious to see
them.
He yet is unwilling, however, that they
should see their father in prison. He
only knows of the changes in their ap'
pearance and growth by photographs.
Dreyfus signed his appeal to the mill
tary court of revision in Paris, taken to
him by Greffier Coupois.
President Loubet probably will order
the degradation of Dreyfus RENTED.
The minister Of justice may be appealed
to to order the court Of cessation to
hear the request for new trial, but this
is not likely.
A strong effort will be made for par
don. Matthew Dreyfus says very in
huentia signatures to a petition have
been promised. Five Of the judges also
will sign the petition, Matthew hopes, and
all eventually may consent. Loubet is an
extremely nercful man, SO there is a
stronge probability that he will, sooner
or later, set Dreyfus free.
