Counsel of the court of appeal is authorized to commun- cate with Captain Dreyfus, whom he is charged to defend.
 (Signed) MAJOR CARRIERE."
 This was the first time M. Demange, the defender of Dreyfus at the court-martial of 1891. and Dreyfus had seen each other since the sentence.
 On entering the room, M Demange and Dreyfus threw themselves Into each oth- er's arms. The scene was most touching Neither was able to utter a word, but warmly embraced.
 Dreyfus, when able to speak, thanked M. Demange for his devoted services.
 Expressed. His Gratitude
 M. Demange then presented M. Labori, who had been a silent spectator in the background of the foregoing scene. Drey- fus casped M. Laboris hand and in a voice choked by emotion expressed the deepest gratitude for the splendid manner in which M. Labori had championed his cause.
 M. Demange and M. Labori then gave the prisoner a general review of all that has happened since Dreyfus was sent to Devils Island, and Dreyfus explained that he knew nothing but what was contained in the volume which NJ Labori had sent him, ar ,Nf thA the court of cessation in 1898.
 M. Demange and M Labori then left They were both greatly impressed with the appearance of Dreyfus. They declared that he is both physically and mentally in much better health than they anticipated
 Madam Dreyfus visited her husband this afternoon She has received permission to call upon him each day. This evening Natures Demange and Laborie had an- other conference with the prisoner, M La- borie saying after it was over that the time had been devoted to continuing the review of events since 1898. His counsel were surprised at Captain Dreyfus' strength of memory even in trifing mat ters. After the interview they dined with Mme Dreyfus.
 Prepares His Food
 Mme Dreyfus, it is asserted, is not only permitted to see her husband daily, but is allowed to attend personally to the prepa- ration of his meals. His memoirs which he wrote on Devils Island, were left there, but they will be forwarded to the govern ment with his other effects. There is good deal of comment upon a speech made yesterday by Paul Derouled, founder of the League of Patriots, and long known as one of the most violent opponents of revision. M. Derouled said in substance that if Drey- fus should be found innocent by the new courtmartial mo punishment would be suf- ficiently heavy, no pillory sufficiently in- famous for all the ministers, civil or mili- tary, who were responsible for his convic- ton, and no honors high enough for the victim."
 Late this evening it was ascertained that unless the authorities should direct a pre- liminary inquiry or the examination of Captain Dreyfus, Major Carrier, the gov ernment commissioner charged with the preparation of the case against the prison CT will merely draw up a report which will be presented to the courtmartial.
 Maitre Demange returned to Paris this evening and Maitre Labori will return on Wednesday.
