A. wmm Labori Pressing the Point of Esterha zy's Guilt. ' . : Report ?hat it Will Now be Charged Dreyfus Was His Accomplice. A Sensation in the Alleged Forged Schneider Letter. The Austrian Colonel Qualifies His De nial That He Wrote It Anti Drey fusites Jubilant. Rennes, Aug. 23. Today's event hao been the coinage of a - new phrase whfich deserve, to endure as long as the history of the Dijeyfus case itself. L& bomi had, (been; piresaing General Gonse vehemently for an explanation why thej general staff persisted in elhlelding Es terhazy, permitting Mm finaily to es cape despite the overwhelming evi-1 dence against (him. Gonise dodged and parried, getting more and- miore'diisco'm fited, until finally he "burst out: "But Esterhazy was not accused tin special circumdtlancea." , This wiW Burvtive with the remark: "Our justice is ndt your justice, and niilitary justice is hot like civSl jus- grocer ?botJtIce." . . . ' ' Jiixcept ior xnis not at was a quiec day alt the court maritaal, !the half ses sion being ttaken up with reading depo sitions from tlie f ugkive Esterhazy and his mJWtiress. It Is rumored tonight that Dreyfus' prosecutors on the general etaff intend to abandon the ftheory: which they ihave all (persisted- lin unttl now that the' pris oner wae iho. bordereaai.taaid to take the grwund that- he' tand -"Esternaasj were accompilices and that the latter, 1 of course, was the auttihor of the border eauf as he now claims. If there' is anything in the rumor it indicates the desperate extremity of " the prosecution, for fit is incredible that Kfliey could" ex pect an acceptance of so radically new a theory at this late day. SCHNEIDER YIELDS A POINT. The sensation 'tonight Is a letter from Colonel Schneider to Itihe Paris' Figaro, startling that fthe letter attributed to him declaring thaft Dreyfus had relations wflbh Germany is a forgery, even if he wrote the contents of it, which he does not admit, because the date was alter ed, and declaring ' that he certainly never wrote; such a document on the date assigned, tin 1897, because his opin ion then was absolutely, different from that expressed in the letter. The nationalists are jubilant over this half admission, and' declare tthalW Mercier lia thereby compHeftely cleared. They add that 'the other documents in the .secret dossier are equally genuine. The Dreyfusites explain the contents nf whf itt.ftr bV declaring that Colonel Schneider, if he wrote it, did so in.1894. when he was pliqued ny nis exclusion fT-nm the combination that Colonel -Panizzardi and Colonel Schwartzkop pen formed for the purpose of obtaining information from France.

This eatemenFof tfihe prisoner caused a 'deep Impression. L The next -witness, Captain VaMtant, .teeltified to seeing Maitre Le13 in Colonel PiequartB office In 1896 and CaptaJn Lerond, of the artSUery, spoke of the notorious ignorance of Esterhazy in artillery matters, showing (he , could not have divulged whait was promised in the bordereau. Esterhazy was called as the next witness, tut there waa no reeponee und the court ordered the reading of htia" ev-t idence. General Gonse Irere asked to be allowed to respond and declared In a loud voice that Eterhazy's statement that h was the instrument of the gen eral staff was an absolute Me. counsel asked1 General Gronse a nume ber of searching questidons on Ester- hazys relations withvhe general staff, .When the counsel asked if that was not an Intrigue in favor of Esterhazy, and if he did not take part in lit, the general shoutied, 'uit is false; it is false." Counsel asked why Esterhazy was , not arrested after the inquiry General Gonse repled because General Saussier deemied lit proper to leave Mm at liberty. "Yes," retorted Labori, "but General Saussier must have been deceived by the general feltaff." This declaration, .accompanied by an expressive gesture, was in the J coun eel's best style and caused a sensation in court, amid which the general re turned ito his seat looking ill 'at ease. Major Drenloin,, who deposed yester day, was recalled. General De BotisedfEre ' denied . in the moat forcible manner EStterhazy's statements, addling that had he been nresent. he would have "given him th lie with all the-contempt he deserved,' The coujt adjourned at 11; 40 fc.' ro THg CLOUDED FUTURE New York, Aug. 3. The Journals' special correspondent at Rennes cables: In case there fis any chance of Drey fus- beftng acquiitrted or any fear that the defense Willi produce seriously damaging, revelations, all the patties interested should be oa-the lookout for anotertside interruption. some Teason hlidaents the-eyw some great marble moverflettt - depentds i tipa ipreyfus' conviction. Bb was (admirably planned and perfectly carried out. -)Tt only failed' because the assassin did liot know how difficult M was. tio kill; a man wiith a pistol, particularly if you pro pose to save yourseu. some ocner move of the same character is confi dently expected. Great forces are in action; individual Dives do not count. No one here yet knows what a iplot the government has discovered. Even those who could tell do not yet know how far the plot reaches. It is a sig nificant fact, however, that the govern ment announced today that future air- rests would oe made on the charge or rebeilllion Instead of riot, and the dif ference between rebels and iprisoners of war' is only a matter of 'words and us ually a matter of days. The winds of madness are blowing," says the Petit Bleu newspaper, and this Is perfectly true. The shooting of LaborS and the little outbreak in Partis Sunday are, however, only gusts which precede; the Ibornado. sinless we are all 'blind, the Dreyfus case is the pivotat center oi asociai cyclone in which all France wiM soon be whirling as merriilyas the anarchists were whirling Sunday when they sang the "Carmagnole" and danced in mad delight while the flames from the burning confessionaJls of the cfourch of Sit. Joseoh soared toward the heaven they defied. "One would think." continued Petlit Bleu, "that we had reverted to the ter rible epoch of the relligious wars." And this auso is perfectly true. It will be a religious war, just as the Dreyfus trial lis a religious trial. It lis a religious trial and nothing else. By an extremely clever bit of di plomacy this triaJt was alloted. to Rennes, perhaprtlhehottest ana most fervently Othc center in France.
