declared Il Can Be Proved Upon a New
Trial OF the Case.
A GIGANTIC HOAX IS NOW SUGGESTED
As Having Been Perpetrated Upop N
Foreign Government. for which
"A Frenchmun Suffered.

Paris, May 5l.--The vicinity OF the pai-
ace OF justice was almost deserted today
when the court of cessation resumed the
hearing of the arguments in the applica-
ton for revision Of the Dreyfus trial.
Many Of the seats of the court were
empty.
NJ Maneau, the procurator general,
continued his speech, which was inter-
rupted yesterday by the adjournment OF
the court. He commended that Major
Count Esterhazy was the author of the
bordereau which has figured so prominent
ly in the case and not Dreyfus
In the course OF his remarks he said
that whoever was guilty, somebody had
Committed the crime of treason. Ester
hazy, however he pointed out, having
been acquitted of the authorship OF the
bordereau can not again be prosecuted on
this ground, even If he were a thousand
times guilty.
Later M. Maneau said. what proof
exists that there has been an act OF treason
Of nature tending TO compromise the Sc
curity of the State? Are we not perhaps
In the presence of a number Of unimport-
ant documents, as General Mercier
thought, and consequently in the presence
OF mysterious hoax, an audacious piece
of swlndling perpetrated by the author
of the bordereau upon his foreign CORE
spondent? This Is a terrible question and
one which involves the most painful pre-
sumption--that OF the msrtyrdom Of a
man whose innocence seems established by
several new facts"
NJ. Maneau's address was largely a repe-
tltlon of the statements of the reporter
Of the case. There was the same array
of facts and similar deductions therefrom
The procurator generals analysis of tn,
secret documents was very close and hi
wound up with an emphatic declaration
that there was nothing in the secret dos
sier to incriminate Dreyfus, saying wv,
do not understand why there was sucl
/ delay in submitting them to lnves,iga
/ ton This statement caused a sensation
/ Continuing, NJ Maneau remarked 20
/ the three secret documents by which NJ
( Cavaignac former minister of war; sough
to justify the condemnation, two wer,
forgeries and the third does not apply t
Oreyfus'
This declaration. uttered with impress
sive soemnity, had an immense effect Of
the audience.
In conclusion. NJ Maneau said wv
assert that several new facts exist, o
such nature as to prove Dreyfus in
uocence. Therefore. may It please tn
court TO quash the Judgment of Decembe
/ % 1894 and send Dreyfus as a defendan
before such court martial as the cour
may decide"
This statement caused applause, whic
| the president suppressed by ordering tn
court to be cleared
! Later the court adjourned.

VOLUNTEERS WANT TO STAY.
Desire Is to Form an American COL
onY in PHILIPPINES.

New York, May S1.-A special to the
Herald from Manila says: Information
has been received here that satisfactory
results have attended the movement among
members of the volunteer regiments in Ma
Mia for the establishment OF large
American colony in the Philippines
Four thousand volunteers are now re-
ported to have signed a petition 10 the
president and secretary Of war praying
that they receive their discharges in Ma
Mia instead Of at the places OF enlistment,
and that they be allowed travel pay to the
place of enlistment. II will be explained
that they believe the Philippine islands
Offered rare opportunities for industrious
and enterprsng Americans to make for
themselves homes, and that they desired
to remain FOR the purpose OF taking part
in the development of the mining agricul-
tural and industrial resources Of the
islands"
The petition stated that in the event OF
favorable action by the government those
signing it pledged their united support in
upholding the laws and protecting the in
terests of the United States there and
would. If so desired, become members OF
an American guard or such an organization
as might be necessary for the best pro-
lection Of American interests in the PM

FORCES OF OTIS.
All that He Has Asked For, Accord
Ing to the PRESIDENT

ing to the President.
Washington, May 31.--The president to-
day declared that there was not at pres
ent any contemplation of largely increas-
ing General Otis forces in the Philippines.
He said that nothing had been received
from General Otis that indicated the
necessity for more troops beyond the reg
ulars who are to be sent to relieve the
retiring volunteers. But the president
added that If additional reinforcements
became necessary they would he promptly
furnished A number Of governors Of
States had advised him that they could
furnish regiments in short order If oc-
casicn required. But at the same time.
the president expressed his strong belief
and confidence that the necessity for mus
tering in additional volunteers in accord
dnce with the authority granted by the
army reorganization bill would be un-
necessary.
Secretary Alger was with the president
for some time discussing the situation.
| When he left the White House he denied
that General Otis cabled yesterday that
10000 troops would be necessary. GEN
eral Otis, said he, had been notified from
time to time that all the troops considered
necessary would be supplied to him and
not a word OF complaint had come from
him This morning" he added, II cabled
10 Otis giving him definite information as
10 the number OF regulars he would have
after the volunteers are withdrawn. In
Guiding the Nineteenth infantry, which
was delayed at Ponce by the strandng OF
/ the transport Meade, ne will have 5000
( regulars We have absolutely no reason
to believe that General Otis will require
more troops than we can furnish without
| enlisGing volunteers"
