dereau, and afterward asked Captain
Dreyfus series of questions regarding
the documents 1t contained and the cap
tain's opportunities for procuring the
information said to have been given out
by him. The questions of Jouaust were
those of prosecutor rather than of a
judge, but to all insinuation of guilt
Dreyfus gave vehement negative re-
plies. When at one point Jouaust inn
patiently said: "This is astonishing, Z"
Dreyfus firmly replied, ''wnat L say is
correct.
The court adjourned after deciding to
sit behind closed doors today and as
many following days as are necessary
for the examination of the secret dos
sier. The next public session will prob
ably take place next Saturday.
Major Esterhazy was one of the wit
neSSeS absent.
Madame Dreyfus visit her husband
and found him hopeful, although much
unnerved, as the rigorous examination
and especially the unfeelIng demeanor
displayed toward him by Colonel Jou-
aust proved tremendous strain upon
him.
There We're mauy persons who We're
present at the trial under the impress
sion that the harshness of the presiding
judge was assumed and was intended TO
disarm the enemies of Drevfus, who
were only anxious to interpret ordinary
courtesy into the grossest partiality to.
ward the prisoner. If this be the case,
and such an explanation is quite plausi-
BILE, Dreyfus is naturally unaware of it.
and the effect upon his highly strung
nerves must be very severe.

TO FIGHT THE YAQUIS.
Regiment of Mexican Cavalry Started
tn the Scene-Fears of an
Ambush,

AUSTIN, Aug. S.-A dispatch was re-
ceiyed here from CaSas GrandeS, state
of Chihuahua, Mexico, saying that one
regiment of Mexican cavalry had left
there and started on its way to the
upper waters OF the Yaqu river, in the
state of Son ora, and that it was the
evid ent intention OF these troops to
enter the \ 1aqul Indian country from
the north ana endeavor to drive the
warning braves out of their strongholds
in the Sabuaripa mountains, where they
are rapidly gathering i'll large forces.
One body of rebellious Indians forti-
fed themselves in the Bacatete mount
aims between the Yaqui and Matapo
rivers and an effort is to be made to
keep the two forces of warriors apart.
1t is known, however. that the two di-
visions are III constant communication
by means of couriers and it is feared
the Indians are planning to draw the
Mexican soldiers into an ambuscade.
Two more parties of American pros
pectors have just arrived at Casas
Grandes They had rich placer min
ing camp near the junction of the
Paphigochio and Batepio rivers, which
they abandoned upon hearing alarming
reports of murders and other terrible
outrages committed by moving bands of
Yaquis at points below them.
Captain Martin Ross an old Arizona
prospector, is Il member of one OF these
parties. He was one of the first pros
pectors to enter the Yaqui country after
jt was made safe for goldhunterS. He
says the Indians are undoubtedly well
for long and bitter resist
ance He believes the majority of
American prospectors will hear of the
uprising i'll time to escape if they will
only heed the first warning that reaches
them.
Captain Ross also says there are not
as many American prospectors along
the Yaqui river as is generally supposed.
Several Went into the new country dur
ing the last two years, but the majority
of them We're disappointed i'll their
search for gold and got out as quickly
as they could. He estimates that there
are not over 500 Americans in the whole
district
