PROBING THE DREYEUS CASE
THE FABRICATION OF THE "CAN.
 ALLIE DE D----'' DOCUMENT.
French Government to Prosecute the the Secret-GeneraI Mercier's Arrest Talked Of-Report Thattt Has Been

Decided Upon
 Rennes, Aug. 27.-The government has
 decided to prosecute the Eclair for the publication of the "Canaille de D.
 document, one of the four documents secretly communicated to the Dreyfus court martial in 1894, which has been shown not to refer to Captain Dreyfus at all. The object of the government is to discover who communicated it to the Eclair. The assumption is that the communication was made by Colonel Paty de Clam or possibly General Gonse. The publicantion occurred three years ago, but under the law, prosecu- tion can be maintained at any time during the following five years. This evening it is rumored that the govern ment has decided to arrest General Mer- 'cier, but the rumor is not confirmed
 Last evening report was in circus lation that General Mercier had fled to the Island of Jersey; but this story proved to be without foundation. Early this morning the gendarmes were still posted outside the residence of General ST. German, military commander of this division, with whom General Mercier has been staying during the trial. Their presence indicated that he. was still there and in reply to questions they de- clared that they had not seen him leave the grounds. This afternoon General Mercier was undoubtedly at home, al- though he declined to receive callers. No one who has studied his character and methods believes that General Mer- cier would flee at the prospect of his ar- rest He has altogether too much dog gedness in his composition. General St. Germans house is in one of the suburbs of RenneS.
