London. June 3.-The Daily Chronicle
says that Major Comte Ferdinand Wal
sin Esterhazy called at it's Office last
evening iTriday) with IL confidential
friend, and after declaring that the time
had arrived when the whole truth
should be told, although hitherto by
reason of constant orders and induce
menis nc had kept silence on the essen
tial point, made the following state
ment:
"rhe chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup is
fun and shall speak out.
Yes QaisinS his voice and glaring
arounD it was l who wrote the bor-
dercau. / wrote 1t upon orders receip-
cd from Sandherr."
EsterhaZy, the Chronicle says. then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1898 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned OF lenkages which were only pos
slblc through officers belonging 10 the
Ministry of War; and 1t was necessary
to catch the guilty party by material
evidence. Hence the bordereau.
When asked what the chiefs of the
French General staff would say to this
confession, Esterhazy. Struggling his
shoulders. disdainfully replied:
"They Will lie as they know how to
lie; but l have them tight. l have
proofs that they knew the whole thing
and snare the responsibility with me,
and VIII produce the proofs"
He tksn denounced the chiefs as a
set of scoundrels who have abandoned
ne basely."
Esterhazy asserted that quite re-.
Gently the chiefs sent NJ. Laguerre, q
former deputy, to London with seduc-
tive offers to him to keep silence.
Now they arc using threats" he
shouted. but l will not be deferred"
