THE DREYFUS CoNsPI AcY,

The Court of Cessation in Paris on
| Saturday afternoon pronounced judg-
m ent in the Dreyfus case. ] he judg-
ment set forth that the proof that
documents now shown to have no rela-
ton TO Dreyius had been submitted to
the court martial Uhich convicted him
and the evidence as to the real author
shin Of the t0rdeyeau, constituted new
iacts tending to establish the innocence
OF the condemned, and that his alleged
contest on is not established by evidence.
The Court therefore quashed and
annulled the judgment and sentence
passed on Dreytus on December y,
1894, and directed the accused to be
tried before a court martial at Rcnnes
on the question-Was Dreyfus guilty
OF having in 1894 practised Vaccinations
or carried on communications with a
foreign Power or one Of ITS agents for
the purpose OF inducing it to engage IN
hostlllties or wage war against France,
or for furnishing 1t with the means of
doing so by supplying it with the notes
aAA hDNutnEAlS enumerated IN lne
6OydeTeaHP
The French Government has ordered
Dreyfus to be brought back to France at
once in the cruiser .SEar, and he is
expected to arrive at Brest about the
emil Of June.

morning in Paris the Government
decided on some important measures
The Advocate General who conducted
the prosecution Of M Deroulede at the

SPAIN RELINQUIsHEs HER LAST Pos

Morning P1St-London, June ).
The widowed Queen, whose one care
is to keep place IN the Affections OF
the Spanish people for her son, and to
bring up that son so that he may be such
a King as SPAN needs, has to meet the
representatives Of the Nation in time
OF sorrow SPAN, once the mistress Of
the mightiest of Empires, has had her
position as tenant Of what remained of
that once splendid heritage exposed to
challenge, on the ground that her rule
no longer fulfilled the requirements OF
civilization, The challenge was rude,
and the proud spirit of the nation
resented it. The event proved, what
indeed the world knew, that Spain is no
longer a Great Power. But it proved
also that the Spanish nation retains the
dignity of its greatness. There was
defeat but not dishonor, and when the
hard truth had at last to be admitted
spain accepted it in silence What still
was lett OF Empire was gone. 1t remained
| to face the future. This is the task
which the Queen has to propose to Der
subjects: to set their house in order, 10
paw the costs OF their late exertions, and
to prepare for a national existence on
the modest basis of the present. unlm'

How Front Yards Are Ruined.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
wish to call to the notice of our citizens
a practice carried on by rascally negroes IN
this city about this spring season. They
will go from house to house where the
front yards are sparse of grass, and tell
the householder they will cover the surface
with rich, muck soil fresh from the coun-
try. which will make the grass grow close
and fine, charging from as cents to 81 per
load, according to the size or the yard.
The unsuspecting Householder agrees. The
rascal goes to one of the dumps, fills his
cart with street sweepings, which are
nothing but black pulverized asphalt or
concrete, and spreads them over the plot
surface The householder thinks he has Sc
but no grass comes up, or what does sparse
iy come is from the surface below, which
forces its way up through the layer. This
vile stuff kills all growth and nothing will
grow on its L have been taken in twice this
way. and so have hundreds of househo ders.
This stuff has to be all removed. This
is the season these men are going around.
The only way for householders is to confer
with any Of the superintendents of the
parks who will inform them where good
soil can be had When seed is sown on the
plot 1t should then be raked In and covered
with thin layer of the soil, otherwise the
sparrows will eengregate and pick all the
seeds up, as have often seen. The proper
seed to sow is red or white clover, and not
common grass or timothy. There is no
reason why all the plots in the city should
not have fine bed of clover which looks
far handsomer than grass which constant
~ requires clipping or moving. A little
foresight and care on the part of house
holders could make front plots look very
beautiful. 1t is of very little use to cuiti-
yate flowers nsthem, for the street gamins
steal them whenever they can get an op-
portunity. G. WILLIAMS

Goes Up a Number on Robeson's
Retirement.
NAVAL EXAMINING BOARD MEETS
Records Of Remey, Watson and
SchIey Defective,
r EPORT CALLED FOR

The naval examining board. consisting of
Rear Admirals McNair, Howell and Howl
son, is making rapid progress in the examin
alton of the officers promoted to the grade Of
rear admiral, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the personnel law. Fourteen Off
GERS are to be examined by this board, as
follows: Commodores Remey, Farquhar,
Watson, Robeson, Schley and Casey, and
Captains Sampson Cromwell, Philip, Hig-
ginson, Picking, Rodgers, kempf and Sum-
ner. These officers were examined through
their records as to mental, moral and pro-
fessional qualifications for advancement to
the grade of rear admiral. They have al
ready undergone a physical examination.
As a result of the proceedings to date
eleven of the officers under examination
have been found fully qualified for promo
ton and one, Commodore Henry B. Robe
son, was found to be physically disquai-
fled to perform the duties of real admiral.
He has accordingly applied for retirement,
and the vacancy thus created will permit
of the advancement of Captain B. f. Day
to the grade of rear admiral, provided he
meets the necessary requirements. Ad-
miral Robeson's retirement will make Com
modore Casey number nine on the list of
rear admira1s and Admiral Sampson num-
Der ten, instead of number eleven, as at
present The first nine rear admrals have
the rank and pay Of major generals in
the army, and the second nine the rank
and pay of brigadier generals.
The examining board was not exactly
satisfied with the records of Commodores
Ramey, Watson and Schley, and action on
their cases has been suspended pending
further investigation. 1t is said that the
defect in their records lies in the fact that
no reports of their services during the last
year were given by their immediate su-
perior officer. 1t is understood that the
board is satisfied with the qualifications OF
the three officers named with this single
and purely formal exception. All three
served the command of Admiral Sampson
during the period in question, and he has
been called upon to supply the deficiency as
quickly as possible.
The reports of Admiral Sampson on the
operations of his feet in the West Indies
during the Spanish war, in which he re-
ferred to the ''reprehensible conduct of
Admiral Scbley were before the examining
board yesterday and were not regarded as
necessarily constituting a bar to Schley's
promotion. His reply to the inquiries of
the board are awaited with unusual inter-
est.

FOR PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.

warrants to claimants for judgments of
that court only on presentation by the
claimants or their attorneys of record of
certificate of the court that there has been
entered upon the records Of the court IA

1t is thought that the Secretary of the
Treasury will conform to the request of tk =
court, which, it is urged,fis important now

ury is issuing warrants 70 the persons who

Scription of the warESnt.tst '-q- jss
The Court of CABINS, desires to protect
itself, but at the same Sme will protect

who secured the passage by Congress of

claims.
Already two prominent Washington law
yers have been defraudeds Of their fees by
