cerning Lieut. Gilmore and IA of the
enlisted men of the Yorktown, who

Lieut.. Gilmore and his companions to
officers in Manila. He said that that
officer and IA men were at Bigau.
where they were subsisting off u
meagre quantity of rice valued at not
more than one peseta perman per day.
The allowance was more liberal than
that for the Spanish prisoners, every
one of whom was allotted one-half
peseta per day. There were fully 2O00
of the latter at Bigau, Cara says, and
all prisoners, Spanish and Americans,
showed the effect of the confinement
and the poor and insufficient food.
Navy department officials say that
steps have already been taken to re-
lieve Lieut.. Gilmore and his party.

The premier, NJ. WaldeckRousseau,

LONDON. Sept. I'm. DeBlowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
says:
II learn that Capt. Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for re-
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern
ment to take immediate steps to par
don him. This pardon will not annul
the civil and military consequences OF
the verdict and he will. therefore, no

"There is nothing. however, to pre-
vent him from applying to the court of
cessation to quash the Rennes trial
whenever the new fact required by law
is produced. When liberated he will
settle in the south of France, as the
mem bers of his family do not wish to
expose him to such demonstrations of
sympathy abroad as might be used
against him by his adversaries at
home"

wounded unto death while two others
received slight wounds. Trouble has
been lowering ever since the militia

have refused to allow the Negro miners
to come into town, always meeting
them and ordering them back. Sum

followed by the whites, running up
the main street, while the remainder
took down the railroad track. Here
the execution was done, all who went
through town escaping. After the
fight was over four dead bodies were
