His ~Imprisonment--On Visible
For a Moment.

Rennes, July 1.-Dreyfus arrived here
at 6 a. m, via L'Orient and Redon. The
prisoner appeared to be in good health.
He wore a blue suit, grey overcoat and
soft felt hat. His hair is turning gray
and his beard is of a reddish color. He
held himself very erect. The landing of
Dreyfus at Quiberon was almost un-
noticed. At 8 o'clock yesterday evening
the guardship Caudan put to sea to meet
the Sfax. The unusual hustle attracted
many people to the harbor, but as they
saw nothing the crowd disappeared. The
weather was most stormy and for a time
1t was feared it would he impossible to
effect a landing. on the landing stage
We're NJ. Viguie. the chief of detectives:
NJ. Henlon, a commissary of police, and a
force of gendarmes and police inspec-
tors.
Dreyfus was landed at 1:3O a. m. A
company of military was drawn up at
the landing point. Dreyfus, who had
been brought ashore in the boat, was inn
mediately placed under the guard of a
captain of engineers and q sergeant and
a corporal or gendarmes, who formally
handed the prisoner over to Nj. Viguie.
The latter then entered a andau with
Dreyfus and two detectives and started
for the railroad station. Dreyfus did not
speak a word. He personally opened the
door of the compartment of the special
tram, consisting of three carriages and
a baggage car, which was in waiting.
Dreyfus was only visible for a moment
to the reporters.
The train stopped at Rabelais, three
kllometers from Rennes. There the party
alighted and quickly entered a carriage
drawn by two horses. which Immediately
started at a sharp advance.
The drive from Rabelais to Rennes was
without incident. Owing to the pre-
cautions. the prisoner passed unnoticed
in front of the arsenal. Workmen read
ing the posters there did not turn their
heads. little suspecting who was passing.
The clock was striking six when the
crowd. which had been waiting since
midnight around the prison, saw a lam
dau surrounded by gendarmes beyond the
station. Then they all cried with one
voice: There he isl" At this cry the
people started off to meet the carriage.
suddenly the troops and mounted gend-
armes hurried madly forward, yelling
and shouting as if accompanying a fire
engine. The carriage was driven so fast
that 1t covered the distance within a few
minutes, passing the watchers like a
flash. 1t was a race for the prison be-
tween the troops, the prisoner and the
populace. The gates then opened sudden
ly and about 20 gendarmes rushed out
and barred the street, pressing back the
crowd with rifle stocks.
The transformation from TRANQUILITY
to a wild scene of gesticulation almost de-
fhes description. The sunddenness stupe-
fled everybody as much as apparently it
did the prisoner, whose face showed from
the quickly passing carriage. But be-
yond the eXclamations of surprise and
curiosity there We're no cries of any sort
raised.
Preceded by his guards, Dreyfus en-
tered the prison and was consigned ia
the governors care and was taken to a
cell on the second story. The rain fell
heavily all night, but the sun shone out
brightly when Dreyfus entered the
prison.
The governor sent Nine. Dreyfus the
news of the arrival of her husband, and
she Immediately went to the governor
and asked permission to see the prisoner
Leave being granted the faithful wife
entered The prison almost unobseryed.
The meeting between the long parted
husband and wife was most touching,
They remained long clasped in each 9TH

with tender endearments. Up to noon
there has been no sign of a public dem
