Thompsor of the Lafayette memo- rial commission says he thinks the people of the United States are making a rash move to condemn the French nation for the Dreyfus ver- dict. “The people of the Uaited States owe a deep debt of gratitude; to France,” he said in an interview to day, ‘‘and we should show moder ation and sympathy et this time instead of viclence. “The people of America must not forget that as a nation independent of European influence and dictation we owe all practically to France “The treatment of France by the United States have, under the circumstances which have existed, been, to say the least, the most ungrateful and shameful. Lafayette, France also gave gave us De Grasse and Count D’Es tang with fleets of splendid warships and she expended in her co operation with General Washington in the war for independence $280,C00,000 “She loaned and gave us outright as gifts of friendship many millions of doliars and she did these things at a time when not to have done them would have meant the absence of the republic of the United States on the western continent, in my opinion, forever. THOMPSON QUOTES HISTORY. “It seems incredible, but history, nevertheless, reeords the fact,” con- tinued Secretary Thompson, ‘that but a few years after our establish ment as an independent government through the aid of France, we nego- tiated a secret treaty of friendly alliance with Great Britain agaivst France, resolting in this outraged friend turning her guvs on our infant merchant marine, producing a loss of some $20,000,000, which France later agreed to psy if we should reimburse her for the oxpense she had gone to in establishing us as an idependent nation. “We quickly acknowledged the expenditure on tke part of France of the $280,000,000 in our behalf, play ed the poverty act and begged them to withdraw their bill. To this day, 100 years later, the French spolis- tion claims are unpaid. “The United States asa govera ment and the people individually owe to France more than can ever be paid.

Sept. 14 —Napoleon E Guyot, late private of company G, first Oolorado voluntears, who during the last three months of 1898 served asaclerk under Major Kil bourn and later under Lieutenant Qolonel Potter, auditor of public accounts. Manila, publishes this eve ning a signed statement in which the gravest charges of corruption are made against the American officials in Manila. He says an examination of the vouchers forwarded to Washington will show that exhorbitant prices are paid for all kinds of supplies purchased in Manile; that vast quan tities of high class wines and other supplies have been purchased osten sibly for the Spanish hospitale, while in the American hospitals only the coarsest supplies are furnished.

The Rush of Americans Expected to Make Life on the Island Costly. Havava, Sept. 13.—The Lucha gives a word of warning to Ameri- cins who inteod to come to Cuba for the winter. It saye: “In shipping circles it is estimated that no fewer than 200,000 are com- ing. Thess figures may be excessive; but judging from the advance lists of tue steamship lines, there will be a very large visiting beginaing next month. None should come, bowever, ex- e2pt those with money or assured positions, as « salary that would guarantee a comfortable living in the United States will soon be iaeufiici- ent to psy a mav’s board in Cuba.
