Rennes, France, Aug. 11.-All the
notable Dreyfusites here are satisfied
with the result of the examination of
the secret dossier. They have urged
their newspaper friends in Paris to
clamor for full publicity, knowing that
| if it be granted the military and ma
| tionalist parties would be utterly dis
graced They are convinced that the
diplomatic and war office dossiers TEEN
with forgeries. OF course the impress
sions are derived from the five coun-
sci present at the examination of these
| precious papers.
Publicity would mean the pillory for
General de Boisdeffre and company.
! They would be pelted with their own
foul eggs while Captain Dreyfus would
be cleared in the face Of the whole
world.
The military caste here is furious at
the turn things are taking. The cor
respondent of Russian paper told me
to-day that in a cafe frequented by
officers he unfolded the Dreyfusite
Aurore to read. All the military men
near by scowled at him in marked man
ner, and after coughing and other
wise showing their dsapproval, went
in body to the other end of the cafe,
as if the Russian were a leper.
| All the officers at Military club came
out on the club balcony when bun
| die of Dreyfusite journals was being
! burned in the street, and they approv-
| ed the performance by unmis akable
| gestures.
| One now sees the wisdom of the order
| forbidding officers not attached to the
| garrison to stay here during the trial.
| hear that in unclean imaginings the
secret military dossier exceeds the
| worst top-shelf literature. To secure
| secrecy the scrubs who worked for Hen
| ry and his friends did not hesitate to
| forge letters from high diplomatic per-
| sons. Nearly a score of love letters
from lady high in the diplomatic
| sphere were supposed to have been
| seized in the dispa tch box of an en-
| bassy during transmission to Berlin.
| The person who is represented was an
| attaChe of an embassy here and much
| younger than the lady, who is made to
| appear as impassioned as an Eloise. OF
| course, she mentions the Dreyfus affair
! and asks the attache to help whitewash
| the affair. M. Jaures expects that there
will be great exposure of conspiracy
against them and that high-handed
| measures of the present government
against certain generals will be more
| than justified by the coming revela-
! tions.
The examination of the diplomats
was concluded this morning. Dreyfus,
| on leaving the Lycee, looked brighter
! than he has ever previously appeared.
! To-morrow's proceedings will be men,
orable in the history of the affair.
M. Demange has let pass no oppor-
| .tunity to concilate the seven Judges.

| order to say nice things about them
! He remembers that the seven are
| ignorant of law, always ready to sac
rflce equity to authority, quick to
| scout at the truth of evidence and are
! of a cast who think they have been
| attacked by Jews, cosmopolitans and
foreigners. Some of them boast of not
reading the report of the inquiry be-
fore the court of cessation because they
/ thought that it was published at the
cost of a syndicate and intended to
| cast odium on the army.
| NJ. Labori is naturally sanguine and
has always hoped, but l can gather
| that both counsel still see that the
| judges are deeply and strongly preju-
| diced against the prisoner and will try
to condemn him on his looks, if all legal
| evidence breaks down.
| All the officers now read the Petit
Journal, (which they had never looked
at before the Dreyfus affair The

to their own sentiments.
M. Demange. therefore. has but a
single fulcrum-the pleasure every hui
man being takes in hearing himself
| praised
l have just learned that the secret
dossier contains shocking reports Cf the
spies of a German prince who has filled
high situations under the empire dur
ing the last 20 years, and one of them
in Paris, a city he often visits. There
| is only one prince answering this
! description, Chancellor Won Hohenlohe.
| The spies who informed the intelli-

| the princes secret doings. did not at
tempt to establish connection between
| them and the Dreyfus case.
But one must suppose that the sole
| object is to prevent the dossief ever
| being published. 1t would be necessary
| to go to Suetonius for parallels of the
| horrors with which this famous or in
| famous collection of documents reeks.
As matters stand, | think that De-
| mango now feels that the two dossiers

even the officers to resist. Anyway he
