DREYFUs CoURT-MARTIAL.
Dramatic Scene Expected Between
MERCER and Casimir.Perier.

RENNES, Aug. 13.-To- morrow's ses-
sion of the Dreyfus court-martial is
awaited with the greatest anxiety and
expectation, in view of the conf1onta-
ton of MERCER by Casimir- Perier, when
the former will virtually be in the
prisoners dock. A dramatic scene is
inevitable.
1t is understood that even more thrill
ing incidents than that which ended
yesterdays session We're expected by
the counsel of Dreyfus, and would
have occurred but for General Mer-
cier's prudence. Dreyfus intended and
had actually declared his determination
to slap Mercier's face before the whole
court if he brought up the story OF the
relations of Dreyfus with Nine B.,
whom some newspapers have asserted
acted as a go-between for Dreyfus and
the attache to whom he is alleged to
have made reasonable revelations
General MERCER abstained from ref
erence to the story, but despite this
the people in the court thought for a
moment that Dreyfus was about to
strike MERCER. until a Captain of gem
darmes took him gently by the arm
and pushed him back into his seat

papers, including those published here.
accused the foreign press men present
in the court of being the authors of the
demonstration against MERCER when he
left the court. The accusation is ridicu-
lous and was prompted by the obvious
desire of the anti-revisionists to ex-
clude foreign newspapermen from what
they maintain is purely a French mat

About sixty of the latter met this

A DAsTARDLY ACT.
Two Men Ambush and Shoot Coun-

pushed Maitre Labor, counsel for Drey-
fus, and one shot was fired, hitting
Labor in the back. M. Labor fell in
the roadway. He is still alive.
| Maitre Labor left his house alone for
the court at 6 o'clock this morning
His residence is situated in the suburbs
| of the town, about a quarter of an
hours walk from the Lycee, the route
| being along a solitary road beside the
| River Vilaine. He had reached a point
half way on his journey when two
men, who had evidently been lying in
wait for him, rushed out of narrow

ed man uttered an agonizing cry and
diately fled through the lane from
which they had emerged and escaped.
At 1870 o'clock it was announced that
the bullet had entered the stomach:
that there was no outward bleeding,
and that the physicians believe that
NJ Labori will die from the wound.
A later story has it that M. Labor
was shot in the temple by a man who
fired at him outside the court, and that
the miscreant was arrested.
Only two or three laborers going to
work witnessed the shooting of Maitre
Labor The spot was we'll chosen, as
the murderers could not be seen by NJ
Labori until they rushed out upon their
victim, the entrance being hidden by
bushes. Moreover, they were afforded
an easy means of escape by passing
back through the lane, which led to
| the country. One of the laborers, named
Patoux, who witnessed the shooting,
said:
"As I was passing along the road l
saw a tall man walking quickly in the
direction of Rennes. He was on the
towing path of the Vilaine. He was
attired in dark lounge suit and wore
| a bowler hat. 1t was. just as he reached
the bridge crossing a stream falling
into the Vilaine two men about medium
hight and wearing dark suits and
round, soft felt hats, emerged from a
rural path entering the main road. One
of them carried a heavy stick. They
approached M. Labori from behind.
Suddenly one drew a revolver and fired
point blank at Labori He was so near
that it was quite impossible for him
to miss.
"A sharp report was heard and NJ.
Labor threw up his arms and said,
'Hola la,' (Which is a common French
| exclamation) and fell fiat upon his face.
I and one or two others who saw the
deed ran up, but the murderers had
vanished down the lane. Help was

ambassador took an interest in Drey-

1uS.
The Schwarzkoppen letter, speaking
of the impetuous intervention in the af-
fair of the German Emperor for reasons
unknown even to Hohenlohe, is believed
to be genuine. In this connection, it is
said, in military circles, that lady in
whom Emperor William took deep in
terest has fished out for him Dreyfus
as a person competent to inform his
majesty on French military questions.
This lady, 1t is said, was a relative of
the late jacques Saint Cere Of the Fl
garo, who was condemned to thirteen
months Imprisonment for Matchmaking
the late millionaire, Max Lebaudy. He
came to Paris a pictorial artist, as the
story goes, and exhibited in the salon.
There was such a lady, but I would be
sorry to declare her the mistress OF the
German Emperor and the temptress OF
Dreyfus. What the officers say about
her may be another lie, which should
be nailed to the counter. Military
credulity is boundless.

THE YAQuI OUTBREAK.
A Party Goes to Rescue an Ameri-
can Miner.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to the
Record" from Guaymas, Mexico. says:
Colonel A. H. Moore from New York
and a mining expert named Johnson
of San Antonio have gathered a guard
and gone to the relief of an American
named Cook, who is in charge of a
mine at Bonancita, near the Yaqul
River. No word has been received from
him since the latter part of July, and
it is feared he has fallen a victim
to the Indians. The party started for
Bonancita yesterday over trail known
to be infested with Yaquis.
A miner who has reached here says
that 400 Yaquis are encamped ten miles
west of Torres, a station on the Sonora
Railroad, on their way to join the re-
bellious Indians along the river. A re-
port from TORN says one of the Yaqui
chiefs was killed while on his way to
the Mayo River to organize branch of
the Mayo Indians, who were to join
the Yaquiss in their fight against the
Government.
The steamer Jelisco has left Guaymas
for Medano with troops for General
Torres.
