WILL USE THE NAvY.-A Wash
ington dispatch of Saturday says that
General Otis has been instructed, in
framing his plan of campaign for the
dry season, to allow for the fullest par
ticipation of the naval forces now in
the Philippines, and as soon as he has
been heard from the necessary orders
will 20 forward to the naval COM
manders to cooperate with the army
to an extent not before contemplated
The naval officers have always been
willing to do this; but they have been
restrained in their operations by an in
disposition to interfere in any manner
with the plans of the military com
mander. The ships will undertake to
capture any of the ports now in insur'
gent possession that may be desired by
the army and also to hold them indef'
nitely, thus making it possible to open
the railroad on Luzon from the north
ern extremity; while in Cavite prov
ince, with the large force of marines
on hand, it is believed that the navy
can undertake to relieve the soldiers
stationed there and make available q
considerable force for other operations.

The judges, by vote of five to two
agreed on a verdict of guilty, ano
sentenced the prisoner to 10 years de
tention in a fortress. There has beer
a great deal of difference of opinion
as to the meaning of the sentence
Under the French military law one
year of solitary confinement is equiv

a question as to whether the convicted
mau will get credit for the five year;
he has served and consequently secure
his release at once. Even with this
neither Dreyfus nor his friends would
be satisfied. They want vlndlcatlon
Already there has been another appeal
to the court of cessation, and every
effort will be made to secure ne"
trial. Many think that the prisoner
will be pardoned by the president Of
the French republic; but the whole
affair is so peculiar in most of its fea'
lures, that all speculation is more OF
less fertile. There is little for the pub

THE SUB.TREAsURY PLAN.-More
than mild interest is being manifested
in this city, says New York dispatch,
by cotton brokers and commission
merchants in the revival of what has
been called the "sub- treasury plan"
for marketing cotton and similar sta
pie products. The plan contemplates
the establishment of bonded ware
houses to store cotton, etc., at low
rates of storage and insurance, and to
use the receipts for such goods as COL
lateral in any part of the United States
as security for a loan to 80 per cent.
of the market value of the mechan-
disc. The scheme is said to have been
inuagurated in Georgia and the pro-
moters hope to extend it to other
southern states.
