Srhwartzkoppen and Co'onel rami; -
zardi as witnesses, or that th-? Jocu-
n.nts necessary to clear up whole
nestion of Dreyfus' allegil treason be
submitted to the court martial. La
bori sent O-e telegrams this afternoon,
in pursuance of his intention, announc
ed in court 'today, to seekTto obtain the
appearance of the two mililaiy at
taches to controvert the evidence given
by Cernuschi. The step now taken
is the only one which can bring such
a Tevelation of truth as none will be
able to gainsay.
No answer ifco either disparch had
been received late tonight, but many
believe the appeal will not h i in a ain.
A dispatch from Rome says that
Pannizardi is absent at th2 army
manoeuvres, and livng Humbert is un
decided as to the course to tike.
Information from Beriia indicates
that it is improbable that . Schwartz-
koppen will be sent, but it is quits
kely the documents required wHl be
supplied.
It transpired tonight that both Major
Carriere and Jouaust regarded r-
nushi's story that on thiee distinct oc
casions, twice in Fra.icc and once at
Geneva, he was told by a high-placed
loreign officer that Dreyfus had com
municated treasonable documents to a
foreign power, and that in the third in
stance the officer, evidently. mean'nt;
Schwartzkoppen, .nho-td him docu
ments emanating from Dreyfus, was
preposterous and did not intend to sum

for the consequences of his action will
be far-reaching. In tther jords, ititi

THE COURT MARTIAL
RenneW, Sept. B.The examination of
the secret dOiir was the occupation
of the court marf'.al during its sitting
today. When the open session began
Labor! presented a formal application
for an order upon Major Cirriere to re.
quest interested foreign governments,
through diplomatic channels, to com
municate to the court the various doc
uments relating to the bordereau Col
onel Jouaust said the court would de
cide the matter later.
The first wiltness called today was
Bassett, whom the Matin sent to Lon
don to interview Esterhazy. The wit
ness deposed that Esterhazy conf jssed
he wrote the bordereau under orders
from Colonel Sandherr, taen chief of
the secret intelligence bureau.
Carriere here burst out with an ex
traordinary protest against Ester
hazy's insinuations against Sandherr
"I protest," he cried, "in the name and
memory of Colonel Sandherr again3t
the insinuations introduced aeinst
him." Labori, however, ignored the
protest. 1
Labori then called upon Roget to tes
tify regarding letters received from
Esterhazy since the opening of the
trial. Roge replied he had only opened
one letter, from Esterhazy which he
forwarded to Colonel Jouaust. Labori
then asked Jouaust to have the letters
read.
Jouaust at first declined, but Labori
insisted so firmly that Jouaust, after
wrangling a while, gave way. Labori
sought to question General Roget more
closely on the statement that none of
'the generals of the general staff had
had relations with Esterhazy, buif Col
onel Jouaust declined to allow further
discussion. This led to a scene be
tween the president and the counsel,
Labori declaring that General Roget,
who came more as a public prosecutor
ithan as a witness, refused to reply to
probing questions.
A little later Labori pushed the ques
tion on General Billot on what is
known as the liberating docu ments.
General Zurlinden then came upon
the platform and spoke a few words
respecting !the general staff's belief in
Esterhazy. "I have an absolute con
viction," replied Roget amid cries of
"oh" from the audience, "that Ester
hazy is a stranger to treason."
M. Defies. reDorter for the TemDS.
testified he saw Esterhazy in London,
And the latter confessed thset (he was
the author of the bordereau. The wit
ness
added he raised the question
of
the letters of Madame Boulanc and
brought away the impression that Es
terhazy wrote the "Uhlan" letter.
M. Tarieux, formerly minister of jus
tice, made a (long deposi'tion in favor of
Dreyfus, reviewing the history of the
case and his own part in connection"
therewith. At the conclusion ' The
rieux's testimony the court martial
went behind closed doors and exam
ined the secret dossier.
The court also deliberated upon La
bori's request that an application be
made to Germany for documents de
scribed in the bordereau. The decision
was unanimously reached to reject
the application on the ground that the
court was incompetent to invite gov
ernments to take diplomatic steps to
obtain the documents in question. It
was also decided to hear Cernuschi be
hind closed doors.
PRECAUTIONS.

State Department Officials
Skeptical as to Blen

'Waehingrton, Sept. 5. The state de
partment has instructed Consul Gen
eral Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, to
investigate the charges made at At
lanta to a newspaper reporter by a man
named Bewtheim, that Vice Consul
Florschutz, at Obburg, Germany, is
using consular envelopes and letter
heads in transmitting French military
secrets to the, headquarters of the Ger
man general staff in Berlin. Bemtheim
states that while he was employed as
French translator' at the headquarters
ofthe genera-I staff in Berlin he saw
a jramber of documents relating to
French military and naval affairs, par
ticularly regarding fortifications, re
ceived in Berlin in envelopes bearing
the official seal of the consulate at
Sonneberg, Germany, and the station
ery of tjjhe Sonneberg congina fcs was
used by officers in the German secret
service in forwarding communicat'orf
from other countries.
At that tlms Florschutz wis vice
consul at Soaneberg. Flors'au z was
appointed vice-consul at CoDtrg No
vember, 1898. He has been in the
United States o.-msu'ar service seven
tee' years' and has an t-vcptionallv
good record. He is a native of Ger

skeptical wi;h regard to Beithelm's
story. At tlvs German embassy the of

employed at the headquarters of the
general staff at Berlin.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
AT G. A. R. CAMP
A Visit to Sampson's Fleet
Brief Speech at
Camp Fire.
Philadelphia, Sept. 5. President) Mc
KinMfcy and party, who are attending
the G. A. R. meeting here, visited and
inspected Sampson's fleet, this afternoon
As the president left the ships the
presidential salute of twenty-one guns
was ilred by all the vessels except the
Indira and Texas. The "salutes, were
omitted by the vesjsels named at Mr.
McKlnley's request. This evening the
I president attended the G. A. R. camp
fire at the Academy of Music. The
building was crowded.
The presiden1 was loudly cheered
as he entered and when he arose to
speak. He expressed his pleasure at
being associated with veterans today,
and said they were enshrined in the
hearts of the nation because they had
saved the nation. Great and good
deeds, he declared, never die, and the
Grand Army was to be congratulated
that the peace they had achieved had
made the union stronger and dearer to
Americans than ever before. There
was but one flag, he said, and both the
blue and the gray now march under it.
He was enthusiastically applauded.
He subsequently spoke briefly at the
dinner at Odd Fellows' hall.
COLONIAL POLICY.
What it is Said M'Zinley Will Rec
comrneud for Our New Possessions.
New York, Sept. 5. The Herald's
Washington special says:
There is good authority for the state
ment thaft the president has returned
with these general ideas uppermost in
his mind as to his future course in re
lation to the new dependencies:
In the Philippines Civil government
by three commissioners to supplant
military rule immediately after the re
bellion is crushed.
In Cuba Continued military control
until it is determined by means of a
general election whether the inhabit
ants want independence or annexation.
If independence, the new government
elected will be recognized by the Unit
ed States, and will be given encourage
ment and every opportunity to estab
lish its stability. If annexation the
president will be governed by the sen
timent of American citizens as it may
then exist.
In Puerto Rico Civil government of
hill commanding superb vies o
and Swannanoa rivers. Newfy Fur
AN
the territorial form, similar to (that
which prevails In Arizona.
In Hawaii territorial form of 'govern-
men't, as recommended by the Hawaii
an commission, and as provided for in
a measure now pending in oonffress.
Some weeks will elapse before the
w?jagwn. to the actual i
preparation oi his message, but he ii'Js
returned from ;his vacation with some
well defined views as to the difficult
problems which confront him. and will
immediately commence discussion of
the detaito with the members of his
cabinet.
It has been generally supposed that
with war still- in progress in the Philip
pines; the president would avoid com
mitting himself to recommendations
for the future government of the isl
ands, but such will probably not be the
ase. His Pittsburg speech leaves no
room for doubt that he will insist upon
permanent American control of the
Philippines. To this extent he hag
come out squarely and thrown down
the gauntlet to" th& anti-expansioniets.
Mr. McKinley not! only favors this
permanent control, but Is prepared
with all these forces' at his command,
to fight for it. But to avoid the charge
of militarism, and that is his reason for
making the recommendation, he pro
poses outlining a plan to congress for
substituting- a civil form of govern
ment for the military the moment
peace is obtained and the complete su
premacy of the United States estab
lished. '
