CUIGNET BEGS THE QUESTION

Major Culgnet, the first witness called,
opened as follows: Before beginning an
account Of the special Investigations into
the case which it was ordered to make
by ministers Of war, from NJ. Cavaignac
to NJ. De Freyclnet," said the witness,
II beg to mention a personal fact which,
in connection with the evidence already
heard, will constitute fresh proof of the
prisoners indiscreet behavior when en-
ployed on the headquarters Of the staff,
when Dreyfus was a probationer, during
the latter half OF 1893 Among other
duties, I was connected with the railroH
service and the mining of railroads with
the view Of interrupting traffic In case of
need. IL is hardly necessary to point
out the secret character Of such matters.
Dreyfus was probationer on the eastern
railroads and had been ordered to speci-
ally study the mining on them, and pos
sessed information relating solely to
them. One day Dreyfus asked me to
give him The general scheme of mining
which possessed, giving as a reason for
his request that he was anxious to in
crease his knowledge and that It was
scheme in order to properly carry out
the work entrusted to him. replied that
1 did not see the necessity of giving him
the scheme and that in any case he had
better apply to his own chief, Major
Berth. Dreyfus pretended Berth would
not impart any information. Day after
day he pestered me so that, finally, hav-
ing no reason to distrust him, began
giving him explanations. Dreyfus dis
played the keenest interest and took copi-
Gus notes. When. later his house was
searched these notes were not discover
ed. But 1t is difficult to believe they
were destroyed, considering the eagerness
he showed to amass information and the
persistence shown in procuring It,"
Major Cuignet apparently considered
this to be weighty evidence on the
treachery Of Dreyfus. He further pro-
tested that "a campaign has ben under
taken against justice, truth and our
country"
The majors outburst of heroics evoked
cynical smiles and indication Of dissent.
coupled with remarks of assent from the
assembled generals.
Regarding the confessions said to have
been made to Captain Lebrun-R enauIt
the witness said he still believed they
were authentic. adding: ''If people oGnot1

tention to this dossier. In which. he said,

At this stage OF the proceedings Drey-

shouting: That is a manifest lie"

he believed the confessions were genuine.
He next referrd to Colonel Picquart's ap-
pearance In the intelligence department
although the witness had hesItated to ap-
point him because he thought Picauart
too self-conhdent and not sufficiently
deferential toward his chiefs.
The general described the interview be-
tween himself and Colonel Picquart when
the latter mentioned Esterhazy, without,
however. connecting him with the Drey-
fus AFFAIR.
General De Boisdeftre. whose evidences
was attertively followed, especially by the
members of the court martial, then related
the incidents of his interview with Pic
quart, how he sent Picquart to see GEN

quent letter to the witness, advising q
continuance Of the Investigations regard
ing Esterhazy, but adding that the affair
must DOT he mixed up with the Dreyfus
affair. AS Colonel Pioauart persisted in
trying to hurry matters. and was neglect
ing his other duties. the witness proposed
to the minister of war to send him, not
in disgrace, on a mission to ToDking. but
the minister of war, the general assert
ed, found another mission for him. Every-
thing, the general added. went quiet for a
year, until NJ. Scheuerer-Kestner inter

citation of Esterhazy by Matthew and the
inquiry into Esterhszy's proceedings.

DUBIOUS


Dreytus unexpected outbursts Of pent-up
feeling. The prisoner spoke several times
today with an indignation which rang
sincere. But he never struck those chords
which thrilled his hearers last Monday
and Saturday. The confrontations Of
Dreyfus, and then Picquart. with General
Gonze and General .BIllot were on side
issues which did not raise questions Of
fundamental Importance and cannot be
said to have had much effect either way,
so far as the testimony itself Is concern
ed. But from the point Of view of the
prosecution, It Is always a clever game TO
bring the generals on the stage in the
role Of indignant defenders of the honor
OF the army, for. as superior officers,
their appearance is bound to exercise a
certain impression on the judges, all of
whom are Of junior rank. Moreover, to-
day gave General Billot the opportunity
for one Of those melo-dramatic speeches
on the loyalty Of former ministers of war
which always go down with the crowd.
and which this morning elected an out
burst of cheering from the public court,
which demonstration was quickly sup
pressed by the gendarmes and the hear
Ing was adjourned until Monday.
The following passages In the days pro-
ceedings were the most notable, either
for their actual Importance or for their
sensational character either in subject
matter or the manner of occurrences:

DREYFUS CoNFRONTS COME

When General Come, who was under
chief OF the general staff. was called to
the witness stand, he explained the mo-
tiYes which influenced his actions during
the past few years and said he believed
he was animated by the Hottest aims,
namely the protection Of the army against
the criminal attacks made on it from all
Sides" stne
Tn this connection General Come dwelt
upon the danger to France Of the system
OF espionage so cleverly organized against
her by foreigners" ana said that, in splits
of Esterhazy's statement, It was impos-
sible for him to have secured the infor-
nation contained therein. He added that
no traces OF indiscretion were discovered
during all the proceedings against Ester
hazy.
General Come denied that Esterhazy had
received money from the intelligence de-
partment, and. describing the strange be-
havior" Of Dreyfus and his frequent acts
of indiscretion," the witness begged the
court to summon the secretary Of the mins
istry Of war" who surprised the prisoner
prying in the offices at time when there
was no business going Oh IlicES'
Considerable comment was aroused by
the fact that, contrary TO the provisions of
the law requiring the testimony to be YER
bal and without notes, General Come, adj
justing his eyeglasses, proceeded to con-
suit large book and frequently refreshed
his memory.
When Dreyfus was asked the regular
question, he said: "I will reply direct
to the ministry Of war, who said he saw
me in the offices after service hours. As
regards General Come, I am surprised
that the general officer repeats dinner
table gossip. There Is known to be insur-
mountable difficulty in introducing anyone
into the ministry of war, and It Is abso-
lutely impossible for an officer to bring
any one into the ministry"
To this the general replied: mo doubt
Il Is difficult"
Colonel Jouaust-No doubt It Is difficult,
but it Is not impossible. The ministry can
be entered easily enough at certain hours.
Dreyfus was in position to know that.
(SensatIon.)
The prisonerL will reply to the secre-
tary OF the secret service, who has told a
lie. What I have TO say TO General Come
Is that every time a friend came TO see me
at the ministry, even when a French off,
GER was obliged TO descend to the floor
below, and even members OF the chamber
OF deputies who called on me could not
enter the ministry. It was consequently
absolutely impossible under ordinary cir
cumstances for a suhaItern to bring any
one into the ministry.
General Come declared that permits
could easily be obtained.
PREDICTIONS OF CONVICTION
London. Aug. 19.-Revelations OF further
