"hich showed a strong disposition to
maltreat the former minister of war.
Gei. MERCER hurried out Of the court
room, through side door. On emerging
into the street the crowd outside cheer
ed the general and cried 'Vive rarmee."
An cried spectator of the scene
In court, IF they had heard the human
monster speak they wourd not cheer him
now
one newspaper man in court was ar
rested for calling Gen. Mercier, as he
passed by him, a murderer. But later
on the man was released.
Dreyfus was hurried out by the gen.
darmes, who Immediately cleared the
court room.
MERCIER'S WAR SCARE FAILED.
Mercler played the now we'll worn war
scare today but the effect must be very
discourasing to him, as his hearers lis
tened without stirring a muscle to his
story OF how France was on the thresh-
hold of a war with Germany. The anti
Dreyfusards have cried wolf too Of
ten. At the outset of Gen. Mercier's tes-
t1mony he prepared the court for war
scare by declaring that the emperor of
Germany personally took an active part
In organizing espionage, and later when
he defended his action in communicate
Ing the secret dossier to the court-mar-
tial of 1894, he said:
L no longer have reason to keep silent,
and L am going to accomplish what l
consider my duty. In 1894 the diplomatic
situation was perilous. M. Hanotaux
(then minister of foreign affairs) has in
dicated this.
M Casimir-Perier has spoken before
the criminal chamber about the unusual
step taken by Count Won Munster. He
also exposed the somewhat unusuaf way
by which he could double himself into
an official parsonage and private per-
sGnage, later giving Count Won Munster
information which was at first refused
him. But NJ. Casimir-Perier reminded
that in his dispositions he had not said
some day he (M Dupuy) and myself re-
manned from In the evening until 1890
in his private Office at the Elysee, await
ing the result of Geographic commune
cations between the emperor of Ger
many and Count Won Munster. He wait
ed four and half hours to see If any
thing would result from this exchange
of kilograms"
Here NJ. Casimir-Perier shook his hand
and head in emphatic denial of Gen.
Merciers statement. He continued:
al had been informed in the afternoon
that the situation was very grave. Count
Won Munster handed in an order from his
sovereign to ask for his passports If his
demands were not acceded. L was pre-
pared to give the order for mobilization.
You see we were in an ace of war. 1t
was only at 1880 that NJ. Casimir-Perie
notified me that Count Won Munster had
accepted the insertion of a somewhat
vague note, declaring the ambassador
was not involved.
NJ Casimir-Perier here again made a
repudiating gesture.
Gen. MERCER continued to explain that
this was the reason for his action re-
garding the secret dossier.

MANY ARRESTS ARE MADE

NJ. DerOuIede, the Fire-Eating Asi-

House and Defies the Gendarmes
Serious Consequences Expected
to Follow the Arrests Made.
PARIS, Aug. I'm. Paul Deroulede,
founder of the League of the Patriots
and a member of the chamber of depu-
ties for the Augouleme Division of Char
ente, was arrested at o'clock this morn
ing at his estate at Croissey, near Paris.
A number of members of the Anti
Semitic and Patriotic leagues were also
arrested this morning. A semi-official
note issued this morning reads as fol-
lows:
"a certain number of arrests were
made this morning as the result of a
magisterial inquiry and by virtue Of Ar
ttcle SO of the penal code, regarding a
conspiracy organized for the purpose of
accomplishing change in the form Of
government. The persons implicated be-
long to the groups of the Royallst Youth
and Patriotic and Anti-Semite leagues
At a trial of the Neuilly barracks affair
facts relating to that incident alone We're
used as the basis of the prosecution, but
searches were then made and documents
were seized which led to the discovery
Of an organization dating back to July,
1898, and of a plot to seize the govern
ment by force. The documents leave no
room for doubt, either In regard to the
existence of the plot or as to the chief
actors therein. After very close watch
organized proof was obtained that the
same groups were preparing for a fresh
attempt at an early date, the proof be-
ing such as to enable the disturbances to
be averted by immediate measures.
The investigation of the affair is in
trusted to M. Fabre, examining magis-
trate."
M. Deroulede was taken into custody
by four gendarmes and was driven to
Paris. On his arrival here, he was in
carcerated in the Conciergarie prison The
arrest of M. Marcel-Habert is ex-
pected.
The police have closed the offices of
the Patriotic league, which are now
guarded by gendarmes. When an at
tempt was made to arrest NJ Guerin,
president of the Anti-Semite league, he
refused to surrender and barricaded him
self in his house. He says he is pre-
pared to hold out for three weeks, hav-
ing a good stock of food and firearms
The doors and windows of his residence
are barricaded, and NJ Guerin an
nOunces he will blow up his house before
he surrenders.
On the application of M. Fabre, fresh
searches of various houses were made
this morning, including the headquarters
of the Anti-Semites, where only unim-
pOrtant papers were seized. A number
of additional arrests of unknown per-
sons have been made in connection with
the conspiracy.
Altogether sixteen members of the
Anti-Semite and Patriotic leagues and
the Young Royalists have been ar
rested.
NJ. Guerin, as this dispatch is sent,
armed with revolvers and knives, still
holds possession of his apartments, the
headquarters of the Anti-Semite league,
to which entrance is only possible after
running the gauntlet of a strong guard
of Anti-Semites.
1t is reported that M Andre Buffet,
vice president of the Young Royalist
league, has been arrested.
