FRENCH CRUISER GOES TO SEA
THE DEPARTURE OF THE TAGE FROM
BREST EXCITES COMMENT
AWAITING; DREYFUS.

Brest, France. June 25.-The French first-class
cruiser Tage put to this evening. the official
explanation being that she has gone to expert
ment with carrier pigeons. She Is, however a
much larger cruiser than the Sfax, which Is
bringing Captain Dreyfus, and the dispatch or
such big vessel with carrier pigeons is quite
unprecedented.
Usually a torpedo-boa is sent, and the opinion
therefore gains ground that the Tage has gone
10 meet the Sfax and to take Captain Dreyius
on board. The pigeons can be used to announce
the transfer and the Tage might proceed 10
another port to land the prisoner
AS against this theory, and as an indication
that the landing OF Dreyfus Will be erected
here there is the fact that large number OF
gendarmes from the country around Brest are
arriving or expected to arrive tonight
The treasurer OF the famous League OF tne
French Fatherland reached Brest this evening
from Paris and as this organization has been
at the bottom Of the nti-Dreyfus movement II
Is thought he has probably come to organize
demonstration.
