said the release OF all the prisoners
had been practically arranged for, but
1t would be necessary to consult the
Spanish government before the agree

to give the terms of the rranreme
Or to say whether they contemplated
a ransom. He asserted, however, that
aguinnldo had already issued a decree
for the release of the civilian officials
and the sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the rem.
nant of the Spanish garrison of Baler,
on the east coa of LuZon. and a
number of civilian prisoners, were
escorted by Filipino soldiers from Ia
riac to the American outposts at San
fernandino and came to Manila by
the night train. The heroes of the
long defense of Eaier, where the
spaniards resisted an insurgent siege
for more than Il year, formed a pic
turesquc band. Lieutenant Martin,
the only surviving officer, marched
them through the streets. There arc
only 90, and most of them are mere
boys, in faded blue cotton uniforms
and red shirts. They are baretooted.
A crowd of Spanish men and women
embraced them, weeping and shouting
their praises. They tell a remarkable
story. 1t appears that the captain
several times proposed to surrender,
but the soldiers refused. Finally,
some months ago, he tried to raise Il
white flag. T~hcreupon Lieutenant
Martin killed him with his " sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely "a

their arms, and they say they marched
from Balcr, with a Filipino escort and
carrying their guns, through several
lnsurgent camps, everywhere being
cheered and feted.

During the trip across the state

will ignite and throw out small par
cells of fire. These will burn only a

DREyFUS REFUSED TO OBEY,
A New Point Urged Agsinst tho Cap
tain Ovor this AUilnce.

PARIS, July TT is believed that
Genera Mercier. minister of war at
the time of Dreyfus' trial, will try to
prove Dreyfus guilty because he was
involved in Russian affairs before the
alliance was discussed. The minister
OF war of Russia asked France
for a table of her military de-
tense work. Its preparation was con-
hded to Drcyfus, who was told to
make out a table of certain electives
not then existing, but which would
be ready before the alliance treaty
would be signed. Captain Dreyfus re-
fused to do that.
Soon afterwards he met the Russian
military attache al Paris, who con-
graduated him on the work. He said
he would like to know why Dreyfus
did not arrange the tableaux as Or
derea. Dreyfus replied CURLY: II
dislike falsifying facts"
The czar then asked explanations
and the alliance WAS nearly frustrat-
ed. General Mercier, then minister
OF war, will claim Dreyfus' indiscre-
tlons We're purposely made to prevent
the Russian alliance. The friends OF
the captain say the whole story is
false, and, in any ease, the fact that
Captain Dreyfus was indiscrect is no
reason to believe him a traitor.
1t is regarded as probable that Gem
eral Faure Biguet will be appointed
military governor of Paris and that
General Zurlindcn, the present incum-
ben of that post, will be transferred
to the command of an army corps.
Zurlinden has been one of the chief
foes of Dreyfus.
At the cabinet council to-day Gen
eral De Gallifet, minister of war. an
bounced the arrangements for the
military review on July IA, which
will take place us usual.
