Strongly Against Dreyfus
RENNEs. Aug. 15.--The days session
of the Dreyfus courtmartial was utterly
devoid Of any exciting incident, the
mass of the testimony being directed
against Dreyfus and the lack OF
trenchant criticism, owing to the abb
sence of the defense's right arm, nat
urally left ali impression unfavorable to
the prisoner. The dispositions of Cen
erals Zurlinden and Chanoine and M.
Hanotaux were listened to closely.
General Mercier was acclaimed on
leaving tho court and NJ. Casimlr-Per-
ier was greeted with cheers and counter
cheers for the army.

Both NJ. Billot and M. Cavaignac
were positive in their opinions that
Dreyfus was guilty NJ. Hanotaux and

onel Jouaust then told Dreyfus to rise
and asked him if he had any remarks to
make upon the evidence.
The prisoner, who during M. Cav
aignac's arraignlnent of him had seemed
nervous and agitated, replied in low
voice:

produced in the tribunal of the chamber

founder Of the League of Patriots and
member of the chamber of deputies

semi i-official note issued reads as follows:
ga certain number Of arrests made
as the result Of magisterial inquiry
and by virtue of article SO Of the penal
code, regarding conspiracy organized

change in the form of government.
The persons implicated belong to the
groups of the royalist youth and the
Patriotic and Anti-Semite leagues. At
a trial of the Neuilly barracks affair,
facts relating to that incident
alone were used as the basis OF the
prosecution, but scare hes were then
made and documents were seized which
led to the discovery of an organization
dating back to July, 1898, and Of plot
to seize the government by force. The
documents leave no room for doubt,
either in regard to the existence of the
plot or as to the chief actors therein.
After very close watch, organized proof
was obtained that the same groups
were preparing for fresh attempt at
an early date, the proof being such as
to enable the disturbances to be ayerted
by immediate measures. The investi-

MANILA, Aug. 15.-A force Of United
States troops from Quinga, four miles
east of Malolos, and from Baligua,
near Bustas, about six miles northeast

gents, estimated at about 500, half way
between Bustas and Quinga. In the
engagement that ensued the Filipinos
were severely punished and scattered.
The Americans lost one man killed.
The insurgent force is believed to
have been under the command of Cen
eral Pho del Pillar and to have had in
view tearing up the railway at Bocava
and Biga, about three miles northeast
of Bulucan. A battalion of the Twenty
first infantry went to the point with in
structions to strengthen the railway
guards and reconnoitre the country in
the direction of Norzgara and on the
Bustas road General Wheaton, with
the troops at Caluut, made recon-

Question Of Calling for More Volunteers
Under Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The question
Of additional volunteer regiments was
under consideration by the secretary of
war during the day, but it was stated
that no decision to call for more troops
was reached. While it is said five regi-
ments will be organized the number
has not been definitely determined
upon. Neither is it settled whether all
shall be infantry regiments. It has
been suggested that another cavalry
regiment or two may be of great ad-
vantage in the Philippines. The only
objection to organizing two cavalry reg
iments is said to be the great difficulty
and cost of transporting horses to the
Philippines. The recruiting now going
on will continue. The new regiments
may be organized at some other posts
than where the first 10 have been sta
toned as several localities are anxious
to have them.
