Henry Questioned About This New Document Story of Dreyfus' Sufferings Belated in Court. Rennes, Aug. 16. The nervous ten sion -which has been high here since the Dreyfus trial began, increases and the news from Pari of Guerin's open de fiance of the law aggravatee the un easiness, as it is seriously discrediting the government. The authorities have been warned that Rennes is a veritable smofthered vcflcano of human passions, whiich has been systematically ferment ed' almost' to the bursting point. Several correspondents wandered yesterday through the poorer quarters of the (town, Where there are 50,009 people, and everywhere one topic was discussed and one opinion expressed. It was that there are too many Jews and Dreyfussards in Rennes and that they should be driven out. The troops have been reinforced until the cilty is an armed camp. There Will be a. St. Bartholomew's day in Rennes if Dreyfus is acquitted, without an ov erwhelming display of force. The importation of desperadoes from Paris 4s another ugly feature. The pol icy of the anti-Dreyfusites is now clearly one of provocation ani violence. Everybody in Rennes is uncertain as to what an hour may. bring forth. IS A MASSACRE PLANNED? , Rennes, Aug. 16. The ajiXHoites plaim'to have; definite knowledge of a plot involving' an uprising in Renries and ' ha-v3er . adopted - extreme measures to squelch the conspiraitors. The troops have been instructed to fire iipon any crowd at the first sign of demonstration. It is believed that1. he agitators are plotting a Jewish and Dreyfusite mas-t sacre on St. Bartholomew's day next Thursday. THE COURT MARTIAL. Rennes, Aug. 16. The courtmart5al of Dreyfus was conitiinued this morning. Major Carriere, representative of the government, having refused to agree too an adjournment of the case unt.l Monday owing to the murderous attack upon Dabori. . The chief feature of the days pro ceedings was the story of the impris onment and sufferings of Dreyfus on Devil's island. Dreyfus wept when the clerk read the document recounting the details of his ftncarceratior The proceedings opened with the ap plication of M. Demange for adjourn ment for forty-eight hours. This was followed by the deposition of M. Guer in, former minister of justice, who only repeated the evidence given before the court of cassaiton. M. Lebon, former minister of colonies, a ibig rea-Dearaea man, lesiaiiieu m jus tification of the instructions to treat Dreyfus rigorously, decilaiting the ex treme stringency only dated rrom tne time he thought tthe attempt would be made to rescue tlhe prisoner. On linn i .Touaust asked Dreyfuls if he had any questions (to put to the wit ness and he replied, emotionally: "No t 'nm, tir to idefend mv honor. I do not wish to speak of the atrocious suf ferling, physical and mental', which for five years I, a Frenchman and an in nonen man. suffered ori the Isle du Diable." M. Demange asked that the official report of tlhe treatment of Dreyfus on Devil's Island be" read. leep-airawn hrMthn indiemation came irom iLne hearers as the reading' proceeded.

Dreyfus could not stand it iarid for the first time during the fcriaft gave i way ito emfcfcions and eilenltly wept. The faces of the audience expressed sym i pathy with the prisoner. j General Mercier, wft(h M. Lebon, Who .was seated in the front row of witness seats, Mstened to the reading of the re port unmoved, while Colonel Jouaust followed it with the air of bored'-tolerance, M. Lebon afterwards returned to the stand . and added a - few more words in justification oi hie conduct and then Colonel Jouaust ordered the next witness brought in. - A moment later a woman- dressed An deep mourning1 appeared in the door way and, accompanied by a non-com missioned officer, advanced to the plat form. It was the widow of Colonel Henry, the French officer who commit ted suicide in prison' after confessing to forging certain documents in the case.. "With a pale face and hand upraised before the crucifix, she took tihe oath to tell the truth. In the attitude of complete self-possession she gave her evidence, accompanying the ' words with frequenlt gestures. , Her evidence was of little weight. I She admitted the frequent Visits of Esterhazy to her husband and said- her ;husband told her he forged one document. "in Order to save ithe honor of the countrv. . . sshe gave her evidence in a matter-of-fact way.. General Rtogelt in undress uniform followed. His evidence was a patriotic diatribe against Dreyfus from begin, ning to end. The court adjourned until tomorrow on the conclusion of General Rbget's monologue. Colonel Jouaust previously asked Captain Dreyfus if he wished to1 say anything, and the pri-otter, who several' times during General Ro gers tuimination against ;num made a movement as if tto rise and retort but was waved down, by Colonel Jouaust, rose and cried, crushing His KepG in his hands: r My colonel, it tis a frightfuIB thing that every day they tear out my heart and soul without being able to reply. It is awful torture for an innocent rftan and a loyal soldier. It is a frightful thing. Frightful, frightful." ? The audience, profoundly stirred, be gan to applaud, but was quickly up, pressed. M. Demange then announced that he would question General ftoget tomorrow. .' ' 1- - :3 A NEW BORDEREAU. - J Rennes, Aug, 16. In the course fcf Mme. Henry's examinaition 'today one of the member asked her two or. thee mysterious quetionsv'riardl9''' dereau, tJie igniacance . of Whielt-jiSnacs' fnnTcnwa to any but tjhe judges. Now-iifr lis learned vth questions in volve the only new point in the case, and one expected to prove of the great est importance. ' v ', .; It appears that Esterhazy insists that what the authorities regard a "the bor dereau is merely a co,py which he made. The original, Esterhazy says, was kept by him. He offered to sell it to sever al newspapers and it is now said . the document has been sent : to the presi dent of the court martial. " . The production of this new bord - eau would destroy aia tne evidence based oh the handwriting of the doc ument which Mercier and others swear was the work of Dreyfus, and a search for tbe" real1 traitor would have to begin at the original starting point.
