Waterloo History q Libel.

cessation in Paris yesterday is reported
by Dalziel. The Petit Journal some time
ago published an extract from book on
the battle of Waterloo, containing a pass
age to the effect that Count de Bourmont
went over to the enemy NJ de Bourmont,
grandson and heir of the count, contested
the truth of this assertion and called upon
the Petit Journal to publish a correction
which the editor declined TO DO. M. de
Bourmont accordingly took proceedings to
compel the insertion Of his letter, his con-
tentiOn being that the statement with ref
erence to his grandfather was a libel and
calculated to inflict injury upon himself.
Judgment was given against the plaintiff,
but this decision was reversed on appeal
to a higher court, and the matter now
came before the court of cessation. The
further hearing of the case was postponed.

The Understanding With Davis.

"My understanding with Mr.. Davis was
that he vas to see that and all the men
who went to South Africa were to be well
paid and that We were to have shares set
aside for in the Kimberley diamond
fields. as we'll as receiving other compensa-
ton and expenses. but 1 have never re-
ceived any compensat ton from Mr.. Davis
or any other person for my services and
expenses in connection with this matter
which considerable. Mr.. Davis having
kept none of the promises he made to me-
Mr.. Davis expected to receive a large sum
of money from President Kruger for our
services in the Boer cause, and I presume
his expectations were realized. have writ
ten him more than twenty letters since De-
cember z, 1899, when l last saw him in
Washington, and since his return to, this
country, but have not seen him nor heard
from him In any way since.
Il believe that the Beers are prolonPtng
the war at the present time on the strength
OF representations and promises made to
President Kruger by Mr.. Davis of lie SYM
pathy and assistance Of the United States
If Bryan should be elected Davis actions
since his return to this country justify me
In this latter assertion.
From the facts set forth herein 1t will
be seen that while Webster Davis was as
sistant secretary Of the Interior Depart
ment of the United States he was disloyal
TO his government, and l want the people
of the United States to know it."
