Prisoner of Devils Isle Masters
Details of His Case.
GRATITUDE GOES OUT TO FRIENDS.

Torture and Is Still Strong In Mind.
Rcnncs Shows Little Agitation Over
Presence of Prisoner.
RENNES. July Sit is impossible to
imagine Il town calner than RenncS.
The inhabitants continue absolutely in
different to the presence Of Dreyfus.
Barely half a dozen persons witnessed
the visits of counsel and Madame Drey-
fus to the prison yesterday. The town,
however, is full of detectives, who scru-
tinize all strangers, and Il few gendarmcs
are patrolling before the residence of
Madame Drcyfus. Matthicu Dreyfus
paid his first visit to his brother yester-
day, the interview lasting half an hour.
The brothers threw themselves into
each others arms. Matthieu said he
found his brother aged and broken in
health, but not the physical wreck he
feared. In spite of his sutferings, Drcy-
fus' eyes are as bright and his mind as
clear and his Intelligence as clean as
when he was occupied with his duties
on the general staff. He was troubled
with insomnia during the voyage, but has
recovered. The prisoner is still suffer
ing from dyscntery, but it is now slight.
and there is every reason to believe he
will rapidly recuperate his forces. Nat
urally, he is uader medical treatment
Matthicu found his brother in good
spirits and buoyed up by the necessity
Of mastering all his strength for the
coming ordeal and by the hope that at
last he will have justice done him. He
is extremely reserved as to his life on
Devils island, which has left an indeli-
bic impression and remains in his MEM
ory as a horrible nightmare. Dreyfus
looks back to his existence Of tho past
four years with relief, tingcd with a
feeling of horror of a sane man who has
escaped from a madhouse. He declares
his brain is almost reeling in the face of
| the mass of documents and explanation
MN. Demage and Laborie are bringing
out regarding the extraordinary machi
nations of his enemies and the persever-
ing devotion of his friends. Dreyfus is
astonished and full Of heartfelt gratitude
at their sclf-sacritice. This feeling is
particularly strong as regards Colonel
Picquart, whom he hardly remembers
and the story of whose persecution has
profoundly moved him.

TAMMANY CELEBRATES.
Bryan and the Chicago Platform Loudly
Cheered by the Assembly.

Cheered by the Assembly.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Tammany Hall
celebrated Independence day, as Gus
tomary, at the Fourteenth street wig
wan. The gathering was remarkable
for it's unexpected features. Ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg of Texas created a sensation
by the manner in which he introduced
the name of Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago
platform to the assembly. MIR. Bryan s
name was received with tremendous ap-
plause. The boom which was launched
for Augustus Van Wyck had a very in
different reception. 1t had been ar
ranged that Congressman James d..
Richardson Of Tennessee should speak,
but he was unable to attend, and Gov
ernor Hogg was asked to speak in his
place. When Governor Hogg arose he
received hearty welcome, and he in
dulged in few remarks that seemed to
please the Tammany men immensely.
After a few moments, which he used i'll
outlining the well established principles
of Democracy, Governor Hogg began a
philippe which set the house in an up
roar. The applause began when he as
serted that next year the Democratic
party would declare for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to /. Men who had appeared to be
half asleep woke up with a
start and joined in the applause.
When the speaker promised a plank
in the platform i'll which imperialism
would be denounced, it was evident
| these sentiments were displeasing to
the Tammany leaders, and it was inten,
sified when the speaker continued: SIN
this great contest we want the aid OF
united Tammany-the greatest local po'
itical organization on earth. We want
you to close up ranks, settle your local
difficulties, if they exist, and go arm
in arm with the stalwart breadwinners
of the south and west to victory next
year, under the leadership Of the chiv
alrous, the dauntless, the matchless
great American, William J. Bryan"
AS the last words fell from the lips Of
the speaker the audience was carried
away III an outburst of enthusiastic ap
plausc. Cheer after cheer arose ant

Barnes stated last night that the state
ment that Alexander Jester, who is
charged with the murder of Gilbert
Gates 2S years ago, had been taken out
of Oklahoma last Saturday night with
his consent, was false in every partic-
ular He said he considered the action
an outrage upon the territory and a
trampling upon the rights of the courts
and the people. Allowing Jester to be
taken from the Pnttawattomie county
Jail while a court was considering the
matter Of his liberty was neglect of
duty, if nothing more, upon the part of
somebody, and the governor says that it
is Il rule the courts cannot afford to
ignore.

MANILA, July 5.-There was great
celebration Of the Fourth here, with
fireworks, bands playing, decorations
everywhere. The foreign ships and
consulates, including the Spanish,
raised their colors in conjunction with
the Stars and Stripes. All nationalities
enjoyed what the Spanish papers termed
'.the fiesta of North America" News
boys shouted Fourth of July editions,
soldiers paraded the town, throwing
1irecrackers from the batteries on the
water front. In the afternoon the
Luneta was crowded with Americans,
Filipinos and Spaniards to hear the con-
cert. A hundred Flipinos played Amer
lean tunes. Several hundred boys and
girls, Filipinos, Spaniards and Chinese,
from the public schools, each carrying
;,n American flag, sang "America' i'll Il
curious mixture Of dialect. A general
celebration at night was rendered i'm
practicable by the law requiring the
streets to be cleared at $50 p. III.
The negotiations between the Spanish
officers and Aguinaldo at Tallac con-
cerning the Spanish prisoners in the
hands of the Filipinos have resulted IL
a partial agreement. According to un-
official reports the insurgents have
promised to release the sick soldiers,
who number over 100, and the civil
officials, but they intend to keep the
friars. expecting that the church will
finally pay a heavy ransom. 1t is re-
ported that the civilian prisoners are

good ball playing instead OF being presented with
it by the umpires.
The calling out Of Mercer on strikes by O'Day

out at first yesterday were about poor exhib-
tions of umpiring the fans in this city have
been treated to- In the first instance one strike
called on Mercer was plainly ball that Jim
Mcclure, who was first base, started for

ball, "old Reliable would have been out in

Sentence will be pronounced Monday. W.

fence, said he would move for new trial,
and wanted to have her released on bail.

man to jail. She had been crying. but

She then declared: Mr.. Fox sent word to
me that if l paid $1,000 l could go free"

he did not believe the statement. and Or
dered the prisoner removed. Mr.. Shipman
wanted to speak, but the court forbade him.
He persisted and despite the courts orders
made a statement repudiating the woman's
assertion. declaring Mr. Fox was above re-
proach and saying that Mrs. Winkleman
had damaged her cause. He was indignant
at her and declared that he doubted
whether he could press the case in higher
courts as he had intended. James W. Fox,
the lawyer referred to. was the prosecuting
attorney when Mrs. Winkleman was ar
rested. He made a dignified but most brief
denial of the charge. The scene and the

BILLY" Earl, famed in baseball history
as the little globe trotter,'' was feared by
umpires because he had some slight knowl-
edge of hypnotism and things occult.
Perhaps McGraw has delved deep into the
| science of Mesmer and mastered the art
Of controlling the thoughts and actions OF
other persons, particularly O'Day and Nc
| Carr. Be this as it may. these two in
dividuals who are supposed to be Impair
tial judges of play have a deep and abid
ing fear of the little manager. and a
glance of his eye. it would appear, is
sufficient instruction as to how they shall
decide a play No one doubts the intend
ed impartiality of O'Day and McGarr. and
everyone is inclined to attribute their mis-
takes to blindness rather than dishonesty.
Decisions unfair to the Senators at crit
ical stages Of the game yesterday was the
main cause of their defeat at the hands
of the Orioles. But undoubtedly the UNI
pires decided as they saw the plays. and
as they occupied more advantageous po
sitions, perhaps they were right. But il
seems peculiar that the 1000 spectators
were unable TO see the justice or impair
tldlltN VI their
McGinnity and Mercer were the oppos
ing pitchers and their work was good.
Mercer did a great deal better than the
score indicates, as several hits that would
have ordinarily been easy outs went safe.
In the third inning Barry and Slagle col
lided while running for ball that either
of them could have easily captured, but
as they come together the sphere es
capped. McGinnity showed evidence OF
developing into one of the best twirlers
in the League, and from present indica-
tions it will not take long for him to de-
velop.
The fielding features were the stops by
Keister and Padden and the playing of La
Chance at first and Atherton al third.
Brodie bore off the BOBBY prize with hardly
any opposition. In the ninth inning, with
two out he mufed a high fly from Bon
ner's bat. 1t was perhaps the easiest
chance of the day and any corner lot ANA
teur would have been ashamed to have
missed it. The error let in the tying run,
and Brodie will have a hard time in eX-
planning TO McGraw just how he happened
to let the ball escape him.
The visitors got off in the lead by scor
ing three runs in the third inning. Wash |
ington made one in the fourth, but the |
Orioles recovered the lost ground in the |
sixth The Senators tied the score in the |
seventh, and the visitors again took the |
lead by making one in the eighth. Again |
the score was tied in the ninth, but the |
winning run was made by the visitors in |
their half of the round. The score:
