TORTURE HE HAS SUFFERED.
PARIS, July 4.-Comte Boni de Cas-
~tellane, who married Miss Anna Gould,
has addressed a communication to the
Prince of Monaco, sharply criticizing
the Prince for his recent letter to Nine.
Oreyfus, inviting her and her husband
to s%ojourn at his chateau after the pris-
oner's acquittal, of which the Prince
Comte, who charges the Prince with
interfering in an affair in which you
are in no way concerned" says:
IF, as a foreign sovereign, you
could influence French officers in the
grave verdict they are about to pro-
nounce, | beg you to note that we do
not stand on an equal footing, as none
of us would condescend to call to ac-
count a Prince who is under tutelage.
You are, perhaps. a relative of Drey-
fus by marriage, but in that case, it is
premature to triumph. II, on the other
hand, it is as a protector of gambling
houses that you intervene, permit me
to tell you that Dreyfus himself would
dispense with your services"
RENNES, France, July 4.-Maitre
Labor paid another visit to Captain
Dreyfus at 10 o'clock this morning, the
lawyer found the prisoner to be in even
better spirits than yesterday and in the
resistance Dreyfus has shown to the
frightful blow he suffered in the judg-
ment of the court-martial and his terri
BILE existence on Devils Island, COM
bined with his marvellous recuperation
of physical and mental strength since
he left Cayenne, Maitre Labor saw the
strongest proofs of his innocence. Coun-
sci was almost joyful in appearance on
leaving the military prison to-day and
beyond doubt his interviews with Drey-
fus have given him the most favorable
impression respecting the outcome of
the court-martial.
this morning in studying the docu-
ments relating to the Esterhazy and
lola trials.
Maitre Labor, during this mornings
conference. explained to him the OBJ
scure points. Dreyfus was naturally
astonished at many incidents and at
the attitude of various persons since
his deportation.
Madame and Matthew Dreyfus are to
see the prisoner this afternoon when
Maitre Labori will again visit him.
Matthew Deyfus paid his first visit
to his brother at 3 O'Clock this after
noon, the interview lasting half an
hour. The brothers threw themselves
into each others arms. Matthew said
he found his brother aged and broken
in health, but not the physical wreck
he feared. In spite of his s~ufferings,
Dreyfus's eyes are as bright and his
mind as clear and his intelligence as
keen as when he was occupied by his
duties On the general staff. He was
troubled with insomnia during the voy
age, but has now recovered and last
night he had a refreshing sleep. The
prisoner is still suffering from dysen-
terry, but it is now slight, and there is
every reason to believe that he will
rapidly ~recuperate his force. Natural
ly he is under medical treatment.
Matthew found his brother in good
spirits and buoyed up by the necessity
of mastering up all his strength for the
coming ordeal and by the hope that at
last he will have justice dom him. He
is extremely reserved as to his life on
Devils Island, which has left an indeli-
Bile impression and remains in his mem
DRY as a horrid nightmare. Dreyfus
looks back to his existence Of the past
four years with relief, tinged with a
feeling of the horror of a sane man
who has escaped from a madhouse. He
declares his brain is almost Keeling in
the face of the mass of documents and
explanations NM Demange and La
bori are bringing out regarding the ex-
traordinary Vaccinations of his enc
mics and the Dersevering devotion of
his friends. Dreyfus is astounded and
full Of heartfelt gratitude at their
self-sacrifice. This feeling is particu-
larly strong as regards Col. Picquart,
whom he hardly remembers and the
story of whose persecution has pro-
foundly moved him.
Captain Dreyfus was unable to talk
freely with his brother. owing to the
presence Of the officer who is under
instructions to be present at all inter-
viws between the prisoner and members
of his family. This arrangement has
been a terrible trial for Nine. Drey-
fus and the rest. as they have been
obliged to restrain their emotions so
far as possible and have been unable
to convers as to intimate matters, be-
cause every word has been overheard
and every gsture watched by the Of
fcer.
Only Maitres Demange and Labor are
allowed to see Dreyfus privately. His
counsel will return to see him to-
gether at the beginning of next week,
