MAY START HOSTILITIES AGAIN Diplomatic Air of Paris Distinctly Unfriendly to America. po FIRST SESSION TODAY PARIS, September 27.—While the recep- tion accorded the United States peace com- mission here is all that could be desired, and while the French foreign office has taken great pains to treat the American and Spanish commissioners in precisely the same manner, it must be admitted that the general atmosphere of Paris, especially the diplomatic atmosphere, does not incline to- ward America. It is the general impression here that the American commissioners have instructions to provide for the retention of Manila and the Island of Luzon, “and for a commis- sion to pretend to negotiate is a farce, said a prominent diplomat. He continued: “America will put herself, diplomatically, in the wrong when she exceeds the pro- visions of the protocol, which both nations signed. I know the Spaniards have come prepared to make concessions; but, if the Americans’ instructions are of an uncom- promising nature, which is generally be- lieved here to be the case, you can rest as- sured that the work of the commission will be futile. The Spaniards will retire and America will at least have to threaten a resumption of hostilities before she will gain her point.” Papers Make No Comment. The French newspapers, beyond announc- ing the arrival of the commissions, make no comment upon the matter. The commission, for the first time since its appointment, met as a body today, for two hours, in the drawing room of the Continental Hotel. Mr. Ferdinand W. Peck, the United States commissioner to the Paris exposi- tion of 1900, is yout to vacate his quarte! in the same hotel.

Consul Hughes writes from Coburg, sug- gesting that a warning be given to Ameri- can grass raisers and dealers, that they should not ship hay in any shape on con- signment to that part of the German em- pire, as the crops of all kinds of grasses have been enormous, and to consign for sale there will not only entail the loss of the hay, but heavy additional expenses. ——____++—___<_ Capt. Bradford Wanted at Paris. A cable message was received at the Navy Department yesterday from the American members of the peace commis- sion requesting that Captain Bradford, chief of the equipment bureau, be sent to Paris to assist the commission. As the offi- cer is an expert in the matter of coaling stations, ocean routes of communication and strategic points, the inference is that the commissionexpects to begin promptly the consideration of those subjects so far as they relate to the Philippines and the Ladrones. +0 + Pacific Coast Training Station. Capt. Dickins of the navigation bureau of the Navy Department goes to San Fran- cisco next week to carry out the will of Congress in the matter of establishing a training station for naval apprentices on the Pacific coast. At present the boys are without a home on that side of the conti- nent save on shipboard, and they are scat- tered about there beyond the reach of proper training in bodies. The new station will be located on Yerba Buena Island, in San Francisco harbor, distant about a mile from Oakland, from which the fresh water supply will be obtained by piping under the sea. Capt. Dickins is charged with the preparations of plans aud location of the necessary buildings, the building of a wharf bulkhead and approaches. He wili employ a competent arciiitect (o draw the plans and has a fund of 350,000 at his dis- posal for the erection of the structures. 0 Last week of Moeke’s Cl2aring Sale.—Ad. ——— Gen.

Reason Why Casimer-Perter Resizn- ed Presidency of France. LONDON, September Daily News this morning commences the publi- cation of a series of articles which it al- leges explain the Dreyfus affair. Today's article concerns the resignation by M. Cas- imir-Perier of the French presidency, which it describes as a strange, sad story. The article says: “In December, 1894, a detailed report of the Dreyfus affair, which Count von Mun- ster sent by the usual courier to the kaiser, was intercepted and photographed at the French frontier. Yet it reached the em- peror without delay a few days later. This fact became known to the information bu- reau at Berlin, and Germany ordered Count von Munster to demand his passports, for the offense was regarded as robbery and an offense to the emperor, on the principle of extraterritoriality. When Count von Mun- ster made this demand at the palace of the Elysee, President Casimir-Perier was over- whelmed with the suddeness of the revela- tion, and was beside himself. In an extra- ordinary scene he gave his word of honor repudiating all connection with or knowl- edge of the affair, and solemnly promised to prevent a repetition of it. “Count von Munster was satisfied and sent a second report of this interview. This document was similarly intercepted and photographed, the negative arriving at the French foreign office within forty-eight hours. “Some days later, on January 12, 1805, Count von Munster called at the palace of the Elysee and suddenly announced that Germany would mobilize her troops forth- with unless satisfaction was given for this new insult.” A dramatic scene followed. Count von Munster collapsed into a fauteuil, a prey to violent feelings, reproaching M. Casimir- Perier with having dishonored him in the eyes of the empire. ‘M. Casimir-Perier was crushed and could not reply at first, but presently said: “Tell your emperor I myself will give him satis- faction. I do not want to sacrifice the country. I will leave the presidency. I pray his majesty to be satisfied.” Two days later M. Casimir-Perier re- signed. Barsed Out of Palestine. A note from the legation of Turkey in- forms the Department of State that the entry of foreign Israelites into Palestine is prohibited, and that the imperial authori tles have received orders to prevent the landing of Jewish emigrants. e+ More Charges Against Esterhasy. LONDON, September 27.—The Daily Chronicle this morning publishes a letter from Mr. Conybeare, in which the writer declares that Major Esterhazy himself sold the documents mentioned in the bordereau to Schwarzkopfen, together with 160 other documents, and that Colonel Schwarzkop- fen paid Esterhazy £80 monthly for two years for espionage. He denies that Colonel Sandherr ordered Esterhazy to write the bordereau, and Js to the latter to “‘tell the whole truth instead of silly falsehoods, and to frankly confess that he never felt himself to be a French officer,” which would explain if not justify his conduct. ——__—_.o New Cruisers for China. , Consul Kehl writes from Stettin that three Chinese steamers —the Hai Young, the Hai Chew and the Hai Shen—and one German steamer —the Hertha — have just been completed at the dockyards there. An- other German steamer, the Hansa, will be ready in about three months; and a cruiser for Japan is to be finished within the aext eight months. + 6 +-___—_. Judge A. B.

Spaniards Are Rapidly Leaving the Island—Our Troops Advance. A dispatch from Ponce, Porto Rico, y terday, says: The Americans now hold four-fifths of the island. The Spaniards ara retiring upon San Juan from all directions and the American troops are moving up. Some slight disturbances hav> occurred at Barros and Fajardo, but their seriousness has been exaggerated. Capt. Hammel’s company of thi ecnsin Regiment entered Cayey ye Gon. Ernst has moved his headquarters ta Atbonito, but it is doubtful if his brigada will follow. The percentage of sick in h regiment is 42. The transport Obdam will sail tomorrow with 240 convalescents, and the Relief will leave Arroyo with 200. The medical offi- cers ganerally believe the troops should be sent north, but a few think their condition will improve when they cross the moune tains and get into quarters. ——<2—______ Hotel Arrivals, Arlington—Wm. 8.
