RENNES, France, July 5-There were in
teresting developments in the Saxce-
Pressense affair to-day. General Julliard,
commanding the garrison here, issued to the
troops an order of the day on the occasion
of the departure of Colonel Saxce, of the
Tenth Artillery, TO take up the new COM
mand to which he was transferred as a
disciplinary measure by the minister Of
war, General the Marquis De Gallifet. Gen.
Julliard. in the order. paid Colonel Saxce
high tribute for his brilliant qualities and
declared he enjoyed the entire confidence
of his chiefs. Thus General Julliard ranged
himself on the side Of Colonel Saxce against
the minister of war, who is not likely to
allow the matter to pass in silence The re-
suit probably will be that General Julliard
will be transferred to another brigade and
that another general will replace him here.
The name OF Colonel Saxce was mentioned
as the probable president of the court-mar-
tial which Is to try Dreyfus M. De Pres
sense, editor of the Temps, of Paris, crit
icised the possibility Of his appointment on
the ground that the colonel had already
pronounced himself against Dreyfus. Colonel
Saxce then had an order Of the day read to
his regiment, In which he classed NJ. Pres
sense as IAN Infamous scoundrel." For this
he was transferred to another regiment.
For Captain Dreyfus to-day passed of
much as yesterday Nine. Dreyfus, Mat
thieu Dreyfus. his brother. and Maitre La
bori, his counsel, visited the prisoner, but
otherwise no special incident occurred. AS

population. it is worthy of note that the

In corner Of the town, remain absolutely
undisturbed. Many, however. predict
trouble on the national fete day, when re-
view Of the garrison will be held. The anti
Dreyfusites. it is feared, will attempt to
draw the troops into demonstration.
Mime. Dreyfus. accompanied by her par
ents, drove to the prison in a carriage this
afternoon. Her parents were not admitted,
but she remained with her husband an hour.
On leaving she showed for the first time
signs Of distress Her eyes were swollen
and red. as though she had been weeping
bitterly. She is still in deep mourning, and

one another aside In their eagerness not to

which might be reflected in her counte-

The latter finally barred the two streets
leading to the portal of the prison.
Just opposite the prison and overlooking
the window of the cell of Captain Dreyfus
and the courtyard is a tannery. This has
been favorite place of vantage for a num-

as often as possible of the incidents oc-
curing inside the prison yard. To-day the
police affixed notice over the tannery en-
trance prohibiting the entry there of any
one except on business connected with the
tannery. This measure has aroused consid-
cradle comment. but the owner Of the tan
merry will probably find it prudent not to
ignore the notice.
