of the court, asked Dreyfus If he had
anything to add in his behalf. The
prisoner rose and in Il voice choked
with emotion, declared he had only one
thing TO say, but of that he was per-
fectly assured. He said:

Colonel Jouaust began by reading the
judgment. which opened with the ques-
ton referred TO thI judges by the Court
of Cessation: was Dreyfus guilty OF en-
tering into Vaccinations to send cor
rect documents to foreign power? He
then gave the answer that the court,
by a majority OF to 2, found Dreyfus
guilty.
EFFECT OF THE VERDICT.
The pent up feelings of the audience
were expressed in a long, deep drawn
"Oh!" when Colonel Jouaust reached
the word guilty" The word was
pronounced under his breath. Owing
to the threat of vigorous punishment
for uttering any cry, there was nc out
burst, but the faces of the majority of
the spectators reflected an expression Of
anguishcd surprise.
NJ. Labori heard the verdict with a
pallid visage, while NJ. Demange fell
back in n chair as though horror
struck.
Colonel Jouaust read the Judgment
without tremor Of his voice and ap-
parently unmoved.
READ TO DREYFUS.

an adjoining little room by the clerk
OF the court. Dreyfus listened impas.

net to-day told a friend that Dreyfus
probably would not have to undergo
further imprisonment. and that If he
was sent To- prison his place of con-
finement would probably be the island
or St. Marguerite, near Canas, where
MarshalFBaZaine was incarcerated and
thence he escaped.
JOUAUSTS BACKBONE.
1t Is generally believed that the Gov
ernments attitude toward the court
martial rendered the president and
members of that body indisposcd to
accept the Instructions anu llmlta-
tons given at the outset OF the court
martiai's proceedings and that the
subsequent request sent 10 Major Car
riere. the Governments Commissioner
at the trial. to coniinc himself to the
limits; laid down by the Court OF Cas-
sa ton, and finally the request that the
verdict be delayed until Monday stiffen-
ed the backbone OF Colonel Jouaust,
who replied that he would not receive
orders from any one, and thereupon
closed the case. .s

the general staff, and that between
Dreyfus and Mercler he selected Mcr-

ceau, was scandalously conducted.

a second Austerlitz."
Henri Rochfort, in the Intransigant,
says that France at last has taken re-

The Petit Journal warns the Dreyfus-

eminent, will find means to make

The Croix, the Jesuit organ, says:
'sThe verdict proves that in Franco the
army will not prosecute an Innocent
man. The judges decided without fear
or favor, as their conscience dictated"
The Soir describes the result as "a
national victory, all the more striking
because won in spite of scandalous gov
