Ereyfus Court Martial Begun.
Rnnes: The proceedings of the court
martial before which Capt. Dreyfus is on
trial opened at 40 Monday morning.
Dreyfus entered the court room with a firm
step. though his features were palid. He
is partly bald, and what hair he has is
gray and close cropped. He answered the
formal questions of the judges as to his
name, age, etc., in a clear, determined
voice.
The trial opened, so far as Rennes is
concerned, in an atmosphere of perfect
tranquility. The population is apparently
Indifferent. Only a small crowd, at most
fifty persons, had gathered outside the en-
trance to the court room by 6 o'clock. A
majority of these were journalists. A
strong force Of troops was masscd
around the court room. Dreyfus' fea-
lures were deathly pale, his teeth
set with a determined, but not def
ant bearing. He walked quickly with an
almost elastic step, and assembled three
steps leading to the platform in front of
the judge upon entering the court room.
There he drew himself up erect and
brought his right hand sharply to the peak
of his cap giving a military salute, show
ing his years of incarceration on DEVILS
Island and the terrible anguish of his body
and mind had not impaired his soldicrly
instinct and bearing. The prisoner then
removed his kept and took a seat placed
for Kim, facing the judges, just in front of
his counsel's table, and With his back to
the audience. Behind him sat a gendarme
holding sheathed saber in his hand.
Dreyfus, in new uniform of captain of
artillery, dark blue, with red facings,
fiNedly regarded the judges, with immov-
able features and without stirring hand OF
foot, scarcely even moving his head,
during the whole course of the proceed
ings, except when he entered and left the
court room.
Dreyfus answered all questions put to
him i'll clear, distinct voice, that could be
heard all over the court room.
The court adjourned after deciding to sit
behind closed doors Tuesday and as long
thereafter as necessary for the examination
of the secret dossier. The next public ses,
sion probably will be Saturday.

Is Alleged to Have Established q
Junta in Manila.
New York: A Hong Kong dispatch to
the World says:
Aguinaldo had an interesting council
Saturday night in Manila. Hong Kong
having been too hot for the Filipino junta,
through the efforts of United States Con-
sui General Wildman, the rebels decided
to attempt to establish their headquarters
in Manila.
They were encouraged to try this daring
experiment by the fact that under recent
decree of Gov. Gen. Otis the Filipino courts
are now conducted by natives. So Crisanto
Lichanchy, the treasurer of the junta,
went boldly to Manila and professed
friendship for Gen. Otis. The scheme
worked so we'll that the delighted junta
has celebrated its victory with grand
ball.
The British residents are disguised at the
weakness of the American authorities at
Manila and the unhappy results of Consul
General Wildman's long fight here against
the rebels

Canada strengthening Her Garri-
sons on the Border.
Chicago: A special from Victoria, B.
c., says: The imperial government and
the dominion authorities have decided to
increase both the regular military and
the militia forces on this station, the
Pacific coast depot of the British army
and navy. Coming at time when the
relations between Canada and the United
States are acknowledged by Premier
Laurier to be rather strained over
the Alaskan boundary question, it
locks as if Great Britain and Can
ada were determined to assert their
claim to the portion of Alaska demanded
by Canada by force of arms if necessary.
Be this as it may, the garrison is to be
greatly increased. The barracks on Nc
Cauley Point, where the big forts are sit
uated, which, with their long range disap-
pearing guns, command the entrance to the
Straits of San Juan de Fuca, will be the
home of more than treble the number of
engineers, marine artillery, sappers and
other united service men than are now
quartered there. Some of the new garrison
have already left and others will come out
in big squads within the next few months
via Halifax and the Canadian Pacific Rail.

he entered the elevator after 10 o'clock at

unsteadily back and forth while ascending
his head projected outside the door, was
caught and crushed. The decedent was
