DEMANGE MAKES THE GENERAL SQUIRM
M. Berlulus Creates a Deep Impression by His
Earnest Declarati.n of Belief in Drey
fus’ Innocence * Madame Henry
Fiercely Attacks Him.
Remies, Aug. 17—With the usual at
tendance and without any noteworthy
incidents the second trial of court mar
tial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of tilt
artillery, charged with treason »vas re
sumed this morning in the Lycee.
Previous to the opening of 'the pro
ceedings, it became known that Maitre
Labori, leading counsel for Dreyfus who
Avas hJliot in the hack from ambush last
Monday was slightly worse today. His
physicians have not yet extracted the
bullet; his fever continues to increase,
and it as not believed he will be able
to attend court Monday. Consequently
Maitre Monard, conned for the Dreyfus
family before the Court of Cassation in
(the trial revision proceedings. has been
summoned to replace M. Labori until
suc-h time as the latter is able to resume
conduct of the ease. M. Monard is ex
pect ed to appear in court tomorrow. Al
though he is a poor substitute for tin*
brilliant, energetic Labori, it is fhoipe:l
his presence will strengthen the defence.
Friends prevented Maitre Albert Cle
meneeau from coming to the assistance
of Dreyfus, as planned immediately af
ter the attempted assassination of M.
Labori.
However, in spite of the difficulties en
countered by the defence, today’s ses
sion of the court opened with brighter
prospects for the prisoner, as M. De
niange, of Counsel for the defence, evi
dently came primed with questions to be
put to General Roget. The latter fram
ed Ids deposition on the opening of the
court, dealing Avith the theft of Ester
hazy’s letters from Mademoiselle Pays.
A number of counsel’s shots struck the
bull’s eye and made the general squirm
in His seat.
Unfortunately. M. Demange is not
yet in a position to go thoroughly over
the whole ground of this witness’ depo
sition. General Roget will, probably, be
recalled to the stand later.
'me following is. the testimony in de
tail:
General Roget, on resuming his testi
mony, criticized the suveillanee inaugur
ated by Colonel Pdcquart over Lieuten
ant Colonel Henry.
Picquart’s acts, he said, were unau
thorized and indcfewsiible, being paid for
at the same time out of the secret ser
vice fund. Witness admitted that Es
terhazy was a gambler and an humoral
character, but said he Avas the victim
of persecution.
T»e witness then dwelt upon the al
leged deA'ioes of Dreyfus to procure in
formation from the various bureaus in
regard to the mobilization and concen
tration of troops, pointing out that while
intelligent and industrious, Dreyfus was
“far too inquisitive in matters which
did not concern him, to the detriment of
h.s proner duties.”
Replying to a question of tin* court.
General Roget said that so far as ho
kneAA', Dreyfus had only once been giv
• i“ii an imaginary task as a test.
The prisoner listened intently to the
witness, Dreyfus’ self control contrast
ed markedly with his excitement yes
terday.
On. demand of M. Demange the -wit
ness told of DuPaty De Clam’s efforts to
shield Esterhazy Is*fore the Court of
Cassation and at the Esterhazy court
martial when Du Paty De Clam forged
or caused to he forged the ‘“Speranzn
letters.” and the “Document Li ter a tend."
Witness replied that he could ex
plain Paty tie Clam’s intervention only
on the ground of De Clam’s “moral con
viction of Esterhazy’s innocence.”
“In any case,” said tin* General, “the
general staff must Is* entirely disasso
ciated with the part played by Du i'aiy
de Clam in this matter.”
“Certainly,” replied M. Demange.
“I attach great importance to this
point,” Avas tlie General’s next remark.
M. Demange assented to this but
added:
“What I Avould like to know is this:
How an innocent man like Esterhazy
was thought to need this kind of help?”
(laughter.)
“It is certain I should not have done
it,” answered the witness, Avhich caused
renewed laughter.
General Roget then added that al
though he would not luu’e intervened
himself to sa\'e Esterhazy he did not
consider the course followed as being
reprehensible.
M. Demange then questioned the wit
ness as to what he thought of Ester
hazy’s attempt to obtain from an agent
a declaration. that lie had nothing to do
with the affair, to Avhich the General
replied that he knew nothing of such an
attempt.
But, when M. Demange read General
Renouard’s report on the subject. Roget
admitted that Esterhazy’* attempt Avas
“certiainly a curious proceeding” for an
innocent man to undertake.
Regarding the falsification of the
Petit Bleu, General Roget dodged the
questions of M. Demange who declared
that it had been altered after it left
Colonel Picquart’s hands in order to
throw suspicion on Picquart. General
Roget merely replied that he did not
think this Avas so.
Genqni Roget admitted that hi* had at
one time searched Esterhazy’s house,
but that to his mind was no reflection on
Esterhazy. “One Avas likely to find any
thing anywhere,” he explained and
Esterhazy was supposed at that time to
have had the “canaille de d ”
letter.
Roget said that Esterhazy had been
offered 000,000 francs at one time to
assume the authorship of the bordereau.
Pressed for his source of information
Avitness said Esterhazy himself hail said
so.
M. Demange shrugged his shoulders
and the court room laughed.
“Admitting,”, counsel then said, “that
Esterhazy avus the agent of the Dreyfus
family anil that he had agreed to as
sume, as suggested, the prisoner's guilt
how do you explain the fact that Ester
hazy, upon several occasions wrote
statements calculated to compromise the
case of Dreyfus.”
“With Esterhazy,” replied General
Itoget. “one can never he sure of any
thing.” (Laughter). “He is such an
extraordinary fid low, I do not know
what he» may be doing today nor wiial
he will be doing tomorrow.”
These statements of tin* General con
vulsed the court with laughter which
seemed to irritate the witness who was
growing nervous under tbe searching
examination, of the counsel.
Turning to Dreyfus, General Roget
cried in a loud voice:
“I know vi*ry well that if I AA-as ac
cused. of an act of treason which I
had not commit tied I should affirm
arguments with which to defend my
self.”
This evoked murmurs, but the Gene
ral shouted, "Why does he deny oven the
most obvious things?”
M. Demange shrugged his shoulders
and ejaculated “Ah.”
The prisoner, however, rose and em
phatically contra dieted some or the
General’s evidence. Hi* said he never
traced on a map any plan of construc
tion or mobilization, nor either had any
knowledge of the (Retails of those moA-e
--nwaits nor of the plan for the distribu
tion of the various regiments through
out the departments.
“Let us,” added Dreyfus, “understand
one another as to What is meant. I as

RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 18. 1899.
10 ORGANIZE TEN
NEW REGIMENTS
The .Order Issued Calling
for More Volunteers.
WON’T COME FROM DIXIE
BUT FROM NEW ENGLAND AND
THE MIDDLE STATES.
SOUTH NOT A GOOD F ELD FOR RECRUITS
No; Were the Northern Pacific States Eager to
Send th<;ir Boys’to Philippines ; Henc?
Efforts Will be Directed to
More Promising Fi Ids.
Washington, August 17.—An order has
been Issued directing that ten additional
regiments of infantry volunteers be or
ganized for sendee in the Philippines.
The regiments avill In* numbered from
Thirty-eight to Forty-seven mid will be
organized! at tin* fiMlowing places, in the
order named:
Fort Snelling, Minn.
Fort Crook, Neb.
Fort Riley, Kan.
Camp Meade, Pa.
Fort Niagara, N. Y.
Fort LeavenAvorth, Kan.
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. *
South Farmiiigham, Mass.
Camp Meade, Pa.
It appeal’s from today's order that
the ten new regiments are to lie mainly
recruited in New England and the Mid
dle and Central Western States. Kansas
and Pennsylvania have apparently been
selected as the best fields for recruits.
It is said that, no special effort is to
be made to secure recruits in the
Southern States.
This is due, it is said, to the exper
ience of the officers who operated in
that quarter for recruits for the ten
volunteer regiments just now being or
ganized. The only p&tees when* diffi
culty was experienced in securing men
were in Georgia and Alabama, the Caro
linas and the Gulf States anil the two
Northwestern Pacific States.
Today’s action will add 13,090 men to
the enlisted strength of the army and
increases the total strength of the army
to 95,045 men. The total number of vol
unteers called into service is 30,107 men,
being only 4,893 men short, of the total
authorized volunteer establishment or
35,000. It is stated at the Department
that the number of volunteers already
called into service is regarded as amply
sufficient to meet all possible needs of
the army, and that then* is no possi
bility that the remaining 4,893 volun
teers will he called for.
Yesterday’s recruiting for flu* volun
teer array amounted to 289 men. making
the total recruitment to dare 14,122, or
1,032 in excess of the numiier required
to complete the ten regiments organized
under the orders of July sttli. All of
these regiments have secured their full
quota except the Twenty-ninth regiment
at Fort McPherson. Ga.: the Thirty
third at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and
the Thirty-fifth regiment at Vancouver
Barracks. These three regiments will
lie Allied by the use of the overflow from
the more successful regiments. The
remainder of the excess wilt he used in
tilling tlu* volunteer regiments being
slowly organized in the Philippines
which are about 800 men short.
The Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels

AFTER FALL RIVER MILLS.
New York Promoters of Yarn Mill Com
bine Tryiifg to Buy.
Fid River, Maas., August 17.—Offers
were made today for the stock of nearly
all the seventy print cloth mills in this
city by the New York promoters of tho
yarn mills combination whli-Ti was form
ed some time ago. The print cloth mills
of Fall River are eontrollled by thirty
six corporations. Treasurers were asked
to secure from their stockholders an
option on the controlling interest in the
stock until December Ist, 1899. The
option states that it is the intention, so
far as may be deemed practical to con
tinue the business under Its existing
management.
The prices offered for the stock of the
various mills are for the most part from
sls to $25 per share above the last
quoted market price. Offers are made
for thirty corporations with n combined
capital of $18,153,700. The bids did not
include the Fall Ilm*r Iron Works Mills,
the Parker, Robeson, Slade and Har
graves corporations.
Many treasurers are- opposed to the
consolidation, but a large percentage of
stockholders are said to he disclosed to
accept the offer.
The following is a list of five corpora
tions which have received an offer:
American Linen Company, Arkwright,
Barnard Manufacturing Company; Bor
den City Manufacturing Company; Bur
naby Manufacturing Company; Chaco,
Cornell, Conanicut, Ila Aid, Durfee, Fall
River Manufactory, Flint, Granite, King
Philip, Laurel Lake, Merchants Manu
facturing Company, Mechanics, Meta
comet Manufacturing Company, Narra
gansitt, Osborn, Pocasiet Manufactur
ing Company, Richard Borden Manufac
turing Company, Sagamore Manufactur
ing Company, Seaeonm-t, Shove, Staf
ford, Tecnmseh, Troy C. and W. Manu
factory, Union Cotton Manufacturing
Company, Wampanoag, Weetamee.
No sooner had tin* fact of the offer
by thi* English syndicate to purchase
the Fall River cotton mils lieen an
nounced than it income known that
another ami much larger syndicate had
entered the field and was busy through
a New York man in arranging matters
preparatory to making a larger offer
than that of the English people. It
is stated that the capital of this new
concern is to be* $135,000,000 at least
and the niqi is to consolidate all the cot
ton mills in tin* country under one man
agement, the object being to reduce the
cost of production.
The New York man states that he
will confer tomorrow with the syndi
cate members and Avithin forty-eight
hours will offer a bid in competition with
the English concern.
From, present appearances it seems
that the situation may develop into
an auction sale, to all intents, of fifty
million dollars' worth of Fall River cot
ton industries to tin* highest bidder.
At present, however, the only bid in
evidence is that of the English syndi
cate.
