DEWEY ON The FILIPINOS.
Says They Have All ne Qualifications for
Self Government.
Would Like TO See Autonomy First
Conceded, then Annexation
Might be Talked About.

New York. Aug. 21.-A dispatch to the
World from London gives at some
length the London Daily News reported
interview with Admiral Dewey at
Naples. According to the correspond
ent Admiral Dewey began by saying
that he regarded Cavite as the battle
which decisively turned the fortunes of
war in favor of the Americans. He
added:
THE Spanish ships were fought we'll
all the same"
The correspondent asked him if the
Philippines were likely to be pacified
soon.
The admiral replied: 81 have the
question of the Philippines more at
heart than has any other American, be-
cause l know the F'ilipinoS intimately
and they know l am their friend. The
recent insurrection is the fruit of the
anarchy which has long reigned in the
islands but the insurgents .sill have to
submit themselves to the law after be-
ing accustomed to no law at all.
Il believe and affirm, nevertheless,
that the Philippine question will be
very shortly solved.
The F'ilipinos are capable of govern
ing themselves; they have all qualifica-
LUIS lOI II. II Is d OI
but the only way to settle the insurrec-
ton and assure prosperity to the archi-
pelago is to concede government to
the inhabitants. That would be a solu-
ton of many questions and would salts
fly all, especially the Filipinos, who be-
lieve themselves worthy of IL and are
so.
Il have never been in favor of vio-
lence toward the Filipinos. The islands
are at this moment blOckaded by a
fleet and war reigns in the interior.
This abnormal state of things should
cease.
Il should like to see autonomy first
conceded and then annexation might be
talked about. This is my opinion.
Il should like to see violence at once
put stop to. .
According to my view, the conces-
sion of self-government ought to be the
most just and most logical solution
The admiral spoke with an air of
frank conviction.

THE SECRET DOSSIER.
The Echo de Paris Says the Whole of it
Has Not Been Given.


Has Not Been Given.
Paris, Aug. 20..-The Echo de Paris,
in commenting upon the testimony Of
fered at Rennes by Capt. Cuignet, for
mer attache of the ministry of war,
to whom was assigned last year the
task of collecting matter bearing upon
the Dreyfus, Picquart and EsterhaZy
affairs, says:
Capt. Cuignet's evidence shows that
the whole secret dossier has not been
communicated TO the court martial. y
document has been withheld which
proves the existence of vast network
Of espionage under the direction of for
eign military attaches, and of nego-
tiations on the subject of the Dreyfus
case between several French notables
and the representatives of foreign
powers.
1.-The dossier, moreover, contains
proofs that the sum of 100000 francs
was received in France from abroad
for the purpose of prosecuting pro-
Dreyfus campaign
According to the Echo de Paris, as
consequence of Capt. Cuignets evil
dence, Gen. Chamoine, who took the
war office secret dossier to Rennes, has
started suddenly for Paris.
The Liberte says that the Dreyfus
trial will not be finished before the
middle of September.

Three Hundred and Eighty Persons
Were Injured.
CHURCHES WERE ATTACKED
Scenes of Pillage and Sacrflige-PIc-
lures Rent and Ornaments
Smashed.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Paris yesterday was
the scene of serious disturbances, re-
calling in some respects the commune
In the riots of the afternoon and even
ing $50 persons were injured, IF whom
800 Were taken to the hospitals. Fifty
nine police agents We're wounded. One
hundred and fifty persons We're arrest
ed, of whom eighty have been detained
in custody.
In response to an appeal of the Jour
nal du Peuple and La Petite Repub-
lique, groups of anarchists and social
lists gathered about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon in the Place de la Repub-
Hque. The police had taken precau-
lions and there seemed no danger of
disorders.
Sebastian Faure and Faberot. we'll
known revolutionary anarchists, were
the ringleaders. Faure standing on
the pedestal of the statue which rises
IN the center of the Place de la Repub-
Iique, addressed the crowd. Among
other things, he said that the anarch-
lists should be masters of the streets.
The police then interfered and dis
lodged Faure and Faberot making
dispersed, but column of demonstra-
tors, headed by Faure and Henri
d'Horr, made for the Place de la Ma
ton.
The police broke through the column
and a struggle for the mastery fol-
lowed. Shots were fired and NJ. Goulierl,
commissary of police, was twice
stabbed with a knife. This threw the
police into momentary confusion.
The mob reassembled and ran toward
the Place de la Nation. The police re-
inforced by squads that had been held
in reserve, made another attempt to
stem the current, and fresh fierce
hghting occurred, three constables be-
ing wounded. Faure and d Horn jumped
INTO passing street car that was go
ing to the Place de la Republique, and
the car driver, on arriving there, gave
signal to the police, who Immediately
arrested them both, together with
two other anarchists, Joseph Farrier
and Jean Perrin. All were conveyed to
the Chateau d'Eau barracks. Only
d'Horr was found in possession of fire
arms.
In the meantime the anarchist mob
retraced its course to the Place de Ia.
Republique, smashing the windows of
religious edifices on the way.
Suddenly, either at the word of COM
mand or in obedience to impulse, the
column made a loop and curved to-
ward the church of st. Ambrose, where
the rioters smashed the windows. Pro-
ceeding thence toward the Fauborg du
Temple, at the corner of Rue Darboy
and the Rue st. Mauri-Popincourt. they
formed up into a compact body.

FIGHTING NORTH OF ANGELES.
A Lieutenant of the Twelfth Infantry
Killed and Another Wounded.

Manila, Aug. 20.-One lieutenant of
the Twelfth infantry was killed and an
other was seriously wounded while re-
connoitering last evening north of An
geles. The Americans encountered a
large force of insurgents and drove
them from their position.
Lieut. Cole of the Sixth infantry, with
eighty men, encountered 100 insurgents
intrenched in the mountains of the ISL
and of Negroes and routed them after
an hour and a half of severe fighting
The Americans had three men slightly
hurt. Nineteen dead insurgents were
counted in the trenches. Six rifles and
a quantity of reserve ammunition were
captured.
The insurgents recently cut the cable
in Laguna bay, leading TO Calmaba, on
the south shore of the lake, but the
break has been repaired.

SEBASTIAN FAURE, ANARCHIST.
He is Said to be a Very Mild hammered
Sort OF Man.

New York, Aug. .21-The Herald says
of Sundays riots in Paris:
Sebastian Faure is a type of the
mild-mannered, theoretical anarchist
While he has countenanced such acts
as that of Valiant, who threw a bomb
in the Chamber of Deputies, he has
kept himself very carefully hitherto
from active participation in the ''propa-
ganda by deed" and such brief terms
of Imprisonment as he has suffered
have been merely for anarchistic
speeches and writings.
Sebastian Faure was one of the first
to rally to the side of revision. The
reports so far received are silent as to
the exact causes of the disturbances in
Paris, but it is probable that they
arose in this way: Faure and other
anarchists and socialist leaders called
a meeting of their followers as an off
set to the Rue de Chabrol siege; the
public generally must not be allowed to
suppose that the anti-Semites were
moving, and the advanced revisionists
must give signs of life.
It is more than likely that Sebastian
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-08-21

Faure had no idea of the meeting he
had called doing any more than pass
number of platonic resolutions and then
disperse quietly or be dispersed to the
accompaniment Of cuffs and kicks by
the ponce. However, some OF the holder
spirits among the demonstrators would
appear to have gotten the upper hand.
The men whose names are given with
that of Sebastian Faure as heading the
demonstration are nobodies.

Drevfus VIII be Acquitted.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2O.-M. Leon Blu
reau of Paris, formerly private secre-
tary to NJ. Labor, is in the city guest
of DIR. Adriene Monod, French vice
consul He said today that 1.-The pres
ent trial of Dreyfus will result in his
acquittal. If a verdict of guilty is re-
turned, the court of cessation, the
highest French authority, will at once
set it aside and order another court
martial. and so on until he is acquitted.
This court knows that French law is
being jubbled by this military court,
and has two grounds on which it could
set aside such sentence. First, viola
ton of the law; and second, abuse of
power"
NJ. Bureau said it was within the
power of the court of cessation to
have decreed Dreyfus innocent. In
fact, there were but two things for
that tribunal to do: Either ad1udge
him not guilty or send him back for
trial.

Gen. Mercier's Son Says it is Only
a Matter of a Fortnight.
WHAT FOREIGNERS WILL SEE
Mass of the French People, He De-
clares Will Receive News of a
Conviction as Joyful Tfdings.

Rennes, Aug. 20.-Gen. MERCER, who
fus was condemned, and who in the
present trial is the virtual prosecutor,
was called upon this afternoon by the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
who invited him to make a statement
of the position of the anti-Dreyfusards.
Although unable to receive the CORE
spondent in person, Gen. MERCER sent
his oldest son to convey the following
expression of his views:
Gen. MERCER considers it useless to
attempt to convert foreign opinion re-
garding the Dreyfus question in which,
moreover, foreigners have no right to
intervene. Foreign people have been
misled by their press, which is violent
ly Dreyfusard for the good reason that
a majority of the foreign newspapers
have been bribed by the Jewish SYM
dictate. Gen. MERCER considers any
thing he might say explaining his posi-
ton, which is that of a majority of the
French people, would be useless. The
best reply to Dreyfusard statements
abroad will be the condemnation of
Dreyfus.
This condemnation is only a mat
ter of ten days or a fortnight, for con-
demned Dreyfus certainly will be. For
eigners will then see that their jour-
nails have deceived them, for they will
recognize that the mass of the French
nation, who will receive the news of the
conviction of Dreyfus as joyful tidings,
is not composed of officials, and that
the majority of the French applaud the
condemnation, it will be because it is
just and merited."
The Associated Press correspondent
then called upon Maitre Labor. who
lives within 200 yards of Gen. MERCER,
the houses of both being guarded by
gen d'armes and detectives who sit in
chairs in the roadway in front of the
houses. NJ. Labor was taking the air
in the garden. He had been suffering
severely from insomnia, and today was
feverish and excited. The wound itself
has not made the progress the doctors
hoped for, although there had been no
relapse.
In view of his general condition. his
medical advisers oppose his going TO
court tomorrow, as he had desired
They predict that the exertion would
so overtaX his strength as to compel
him to take his bed, which he would
not probably leave in that event for a
month. Tuesday or Wednesday, there
fore. will more probably see his reap
pearance in court. He will be provided
with a specially constructed chair that
will enable him to conduct the cross
examination at the outset without ris-
ing from his seat.
NJ. Labor is intensely anxious to re-
turn to court, even if he has to be car
ried there in an ambulance. He is dis
satisfied with NJ. Demange's conduct
of the case thus far, and on his return
he intends to have Gen. MERCER and
the other generals put back upon the
witness stand. After reading their evil
dence, he is confident of his ability to
crush Mercier and he expects to use
the Schneider and Panizzardi tele-
grams also to confound MERCER.
