Lai tori sent the telegrams this after noon in pursuance of his intention, an n'diuioed in court today, To seek to u'nt.iin tlio appearance of the two mil itary attaches ro controvert the evi dence si veil by Cernusehi. The stop now taken is the only one which can briu? such a revelation of the truth :i none will be able to gainsay. No answer to either dispatch was received , late tonight, but many believe the ap neal will not be in vain. A dispatch from Rome says 'that Fannizardi is absent at army, manoeuvres and King Humbert is nn iier! ir-d a s to the course to take. In formation from Berlin indicates that it is improbable that Schwartzkopp-m will he sent, but it is quite likely the. documents required will be supplied. It transpired tonight that both Major Carriere and Colonel .Jouaust resrard- el Cernusehi' s story as preposterous and did not intend to summon him. There Avas a division of opinion among the generals themselves on the sub ject. The witness lias an infamous re cord, and there is a long dossier re ?anling him at the Paris prefecture of pdiee. Even Mereier is opposed to using him. The generals had received an intimation that the judges were prepared to convict the prisoner on the evidence already offered, and at their meeting Saturday a majority were of the opinion that new wit nesses were unnecessary. Roget, how ever, assumed responsibility for calling him. and he induced lajor Brogniard, the most extreme anti-Dreyfus mem-, her of the court, to" insist that Jou ansr call Cernuchi. 'It now begins to appear that Roget fovnvacticd himself, for the con'se-" luem-es of his action may be far rcahing In other words, if the case had been (dosed without calling for eign witnesses, Dreyfus would prob- 't nave neen condemned. Now the whole situation is changed and anv tmjr may happen. Jouaust has do-t-bred iliar if there is a chance of Wiwamkoppen and Pannizardi ap pearing he will hold the ease open as long as necessary fort heir coming. Myinsr nlarlv hours' by law. Tlie Esterhazy Confession. Basset, the London correspondent of the Panis Mitin, was the nrst witness. He told details of Eesterh'azy s latest confession, which were to the effect that he (Esterhazy) wrote the bor dereau at the dictation of Sandherr, former member of the general staff. Who died shortly after the nrst trial. Carriere theatrically interposed at this time: "In-he name of the ven erated Siandherr, I protest Against those words." The audience sdniply laughed at the amusing mock heroics; of the govern ment prosecutor. Labori asked why the prosecution should object to Esterhazy's words be ing quoted. Carriere. with an assumption of dig nity which seemed a trine niaudlhi, declined to take any notice of Lahori's imquiry. Colonel Brogniard, a member of rhe court Whose questions always seek to bring out points against the prisoner. asked if Esterhazy did not still say that Drevfus was a. traitor. The wit ness replied in the amrmative. General Roget then demanded tlie floor. He besran by declariug that Es ter.hazy had been writing him many letters recently. He -suspected that Esterhazy was trying to entrap him. and therefore he turned all these let ters over to Jouaust unopened. Labori promptly asked the president of the court . to produce these letters. Jouaust declined 'to do so. liiiio'i insisted, and went on to say that the president had no right to receive evi dence tin this manner and refuse to communicate it to the defence. It was this same thing that invalidated the first trial. Jouaust. who instantly perceived '.he defeueelessness of his course, replied that tlie letters had no bearing on the case. They were purely personal let tors to lioget. and it was for the lat ter to say whether or not the' should be lvroduced. ( Roget. as a partial concession, thereupon read one letter, which was of no importance. Then followed a long, wordy duel between Ialori and Roget on the subject of Esterhazy and Roget's long defence of the scoundrel. Roget now washed his hands of Es terhazy, except to declare that any how he was no traitor. Carriere interrupted to say that he had received ma'uy letters from Ester hazy which he had never read. There was a sharp discussion as to the date when the general staff had finally abandoned Esterhazy. General Zurlinden. former war minister and more recently military governor of Paris, joining in the argument, and Jouaust protecting the generals sis far as possible from LitbortV -attacks. Deffes, of the Paris Temps, told how Esterh-azv had many times admitted rluir he was the author of the famous Uhlan letter. A Speech for tlie Defence. M. Trarieux, ex-minister and one of the leaders of the nwislonists. then made an eloquent plea for tlie defence. It was no more evidence than many of the speeches made by generals in behalf of the prosecution, but the de fence .apparently considers it neces sary to offset some of this evidence m kind. M. Trarieux quoted Sign or Torelli, Italian ambassador, as denouncing the canaille de I) document as not -e- latinsg to Dreyfus and declaring that Dreyfus' name was not known to any one at the emoassy until tie was ar rested. The ex-minister proceeded to deal with six war ministers, one after the other, with scathing sarcasm. In fact, the speaker's analysis of the case and the testimony of witnesses devel oped into the greatest forensic event of the trial, making a deep impression on the audience and holdinz the close attention of the judges. In conclusion, Trarieux expressed the earnest hope that foreign ml lira ry might be Induced to come to the bar and declare on their honor as soldiers the truth of this whole, vast M. Paleologue, who represents the for eign office, had a long consultation. with Demauge tonight over the ques tion of tlie appearance of Colonels ScbwurtzkopiKm ttnd I'nuuizardl. but neither had any. definite Information. The impression gains ground that If only the initiative of the French for eign office Is necessary to the produc tion of evidence that will settle the Dreyfus affair a't once and forever. Prime Minister Waldeck-Ronsseau may le depended upon to assume re sponsibility, even if he must violate a sacred kind of diplomatic usage In the process. Passion between the two sides has been so intensified by the latest events that personal encounters, usually with words only, are liecoiniug frequent, even in the courtroom itself.

There are a num'ber of new cases making a total of about forty. Hie louse-to-house canvass may add to this number. The fever Is gaining ground rapidly, but is not iucreasin in virulence. Detention camps at Dry Tortugas and on the east and west coasts are most likely to be provided. Dr. Porter is most anxious to remove strangers. unacclimated, as they fall ready, vic tims to fever, and it is this class that is rapidly piling up the number of new oases.
