Renrtes, Aug. 26. Today, which was expected no be the dullest, -proved the most ttmportant in the Dreyfus trial. No reason apparently existed for the interpolating of the- greatest scene yet witnessed between the testimony of two dreary experts, unless it was the French horror of monotony and lov.e of dramatic effect. Every one reaAzed the moment that Captain Freyistaeter, thajti gafllawt officer slitting on the, court martial in 1894, whose conscience im pelled ihikni 2 years, ago to disclose the fact that Dreyfus was condemned by secret illegitimate evidence, took the said ithat tihe crucial moment of the case was1 at hand. It was not expected that he would be abl to do more than pit his word against, batt of Colonel Maurel, president! of tflie '94 count mar tial, and contradlicit one or two points of Mercier's evidence His. splendid physique, Calm, digniified and eoldenly oearing made additionally iimpressive his plain', dire and convincing (words. t w!ji the triciarntate truti 'of the man which overwhelmed and confounded lthitwopan--n'"iii3 confront! ihim." Coloner Maurel, one of the bltt'ereit enemies of . Dreyfus', was compelled -toadmit when, faced with Freystaeter that ne was guilty of the tTowest f ormi' of prevarication. In his (tes timony it wo days ago. Moreover, when direct perjuiry was forced home he. weakly pleaded loss of memory, refused to testify and left the stand disgraced and despised as a dishonest man. Merrier himself had a narrow escape from a shnOar position. He is cleverer than . Maurel and besran to reply to the questions by characterizing certain of Freystaeter's sitatements as lies. There is an (important distinction Sn the French estimation between this expres sion and calling a man a Mar, other wise Sunday's monotony might have the welcome, relief of "a duel. But Mer cier was obliged even tto make an im portant correction in his previous testi mony and took refuge against denia? In the dead man, Sandnerr, instead oi the living but absent du Paty de Clam.

' After this the audience listened spelf boundjas Major Freystaeter, Hn a dis tinct voice, toild exactly what docu merits of the dossier were read and how Colonel Maurel not only read these' documents but made comment on them. TMs Was practically calling Maurel .a thorough liar, and the colonel glared at? the major ferociously. General Mercier asked to be heard and placed himself by the side of Maur--el. The sensation today was when the question of veracity occurred between Captain Freystlaeter and General Mer- ier. Mercier (testified Thursday that the secret documents sent by him to the court martial in 1894 comprised only four documents which were mentioned. Today Freystaeter declared that the dossier included a false translation of anizzardi's telegram. Freystaeter said he read the document In the secret session of the court and quoted its phraseology. Mercier declared the wit ness lied. , POLITICAL "SITUATION ACUTE. Chicago, Aug. 2$. A special to the Chicago Tribune from Parisvsays: The political1 situation is growing grave.

All of the churches in Paris are guarded by troops. Jules Guerin is still holding out in his fortress. He has soaked the roof and walls wih petroleum, and insists in his threats to destroy himself and his companions in the ruins if he is seri ously attacked. GUERIN'S BLACK FLAG Paris, Aug. 26.

Cape among the royalists owing to the large quantity of ammu nition going into the Transvaal by way of the Orange Free State, with the per mission of the Cape government. ', According to the Daily Mail's corre spondent 2,000,Q0 cartridges and ' 500 rifles have beeri sent to Bloemf ontein in the last four weeks. Eight hundred and forty troops with thirty officers left Southampton yester day for the Cape. Large stores of war material will be sent to Natal today. Altogether the pressure upon the Iransvaal Qs getting strenuous. Fro.n Johannesburg come the news that, the imperial government has notified the Transvaal that colored British subjects must be exempt from the law removing the colored population to a .location outside the town. The treatment of the colored British subjects has long been a sore point between the two govern ments, though they come under article XIV. of the 1884 convention. GERMAN VIEW OF THE CRISIS. Berlin, Aug. 26. The Berlin press is following the Transvaal crisis closely. Many papers think war is not to te long delayed. The Anglophobe Tages Zeiitung says: "England- lis determined to subjugate the Boers unless they voluntarily aban don their independence. England can not retreat without lose of prestige and risking possessions of " South Africa. It is highly improbable that the Cape Colony Doers wMl remain loyal. "If ,Engihd, sustains the slightest severs jthe war -may possibly be fatal to p& British empire. The main Ques tion mayv'become.whether South Africa feeome jDutchJ - , Unless England gams a decisive vic tory Russia is likely to make a for ward movement in China, Persia, Af ghanistan and perhaps India Itself."
