Copyrighted 1598 by James Gordon Bennett. | PARIS, Feb. 5.—It is calm before the storm. There has been an undoubted lull in the agitation over the Dreyfus case during the last few days, but fears are widely entertained that we bad to worse the day ;, when Emile Zola ap- shall go from b ize Court of the ¢ stand his trial. Even yet noth- is known of the difficul as to whether ¢ er ummoned by Zola as will be allowed to give evi- nor has any indication leaked out regarding the r it of M. Zola's applicationtothe Minister of Justice to allow General Billot, Minister of War, to appear in the witness box. The state of popular feeling is indicated by literature which has been issued from the printing presses voluminously. The output of squibs, ballads and cartoons upon the Dreyfus case greater than even in the days of the Panama and Boulanger affairs. It is a significant| fact that none of these pro-Dreyfus or defenders of Zola suffers especially. Prince Henry made reference to the Dreyfus matter in a speech at a ban- Guet given in his honor prior to his de- parture for Abyssinia at the Hotel Con- tinental k night.

When at home you see a horde of people who in the main have ccme from across the Rhine, and who, because they inhabit France, think the same hearts beat within their breasts as in ours, and | who spew upon the most sacred insti- tutions of the country—you should un- | derstand there is but one flag, and that it is the duty of all to gather around | £ | The company at the banquet includ- | ed most of the eminent Frenchmen who have given attentjon to colonial ques-i tions and a sprinkling of young men, personal friends of Prince Henry, to whom Chairman M. Miln-Edwards | pointed in disproof of the saying that | there was no more enterprise and vi- | tality in France. In the course of his | speech Prince Henry outlined the plans | of Count Leontieff and himself regard- | Ing the equatorial provincesof Ethiopia. | Emperor Menelik had intrusted to them | the responsibility of organizing this | immense province, which would form his buffer state—it was unnecessary to say against whom, said the Prince, with an obvious reference to England. According to ulois, a well-known water-color painter has received rhany orders to paint flowers on silks for dresses to be worn by leading women of society. A fashionable contempora- ry declares that such hand-painted cos- tumes will be la mode de demain. The | cost will certainly prevent its vulgar- 1zation. Parisians are to have a chance of ! comparing the famous Spanish act- tress, Senora Maria Guerrero, with their own tragedienne. Sarah Bernhardt has arranged for her to occupy the stage of the Renaissance, whereon Signora Duse recently played. Senora Guer- gero will be accompanied by her hus- band, Marquis of Fontanaar, who plays under the name of Fernando Diaz de Mendoza. His first wife was the daugh- ter of Marshall Serrano, once Regent of Spain. and after her death he went 5n the stage and married Senora Guer- ero. [NVASIONS ARE BACKED BY ENGLAND of the of Significance Expedition Cavendish. Leads a Heavily Armed Force Toward the Upper Nile. Routes for the Probable Jour- ney to Khartoum Chosen by the Government. GRAB ON THE SUS COAST | Troops of the Sultan of Moroceo Very Properly Gave the Buccaneers a Warm Reception. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. 5.—The Cavendish is about to leave LONDON, Feb. expedition, which yndon, ples of how young and wealthy Englishmen with a fondness,for sport and exploration combine their tastes with empire making. Henry Caven- dish, a relative of the Duke of Devon- shire, has already spent $300,000 in preparation for the expedition. Al- though nominally private, its aims are toward the Upper Nile, where the French are supposed to be operating, and are well known to high Govern- ment officials. As a matter of fact, the route adopted was suggested by the chiefs of the Intelligence Depart- ment of the War Office, and the For- eign Office had the scheme under con- sideration for some weeks. The force which will accompany Cavendish will be better armed than any body of men which has ever entered Africa. It will take with it 350,000 rounds of ammu- nition and a number of seven pounder | Maxim rapid fire guns. It will be well provided against surprises. Caven- dish expects to reach the Upper Nile in three or four months and may con- tinue to Khartoum after the Der- vishes have been beaten. Dr. Donaldson Smith, the American explorer, recently telegraphed to the Royal Geographical Society from In- dia, announcing his readiness to ex- plore the Upper Nile, but the society replied that the matter had been set- tled by Mr. Cavendish going. When the evidence is sifted it ap- pears that the Globe venture syndi- cate’'s descent on the Sus coast of Morocco, announced in the dispatches on January 31, Jameson’s Transvaal raid. The pre- tended ignorance of Sir Edward Thornton, chairman of the syndicate and formerly ‘Washington, is wholly untenahle, for it is known that warnings were received:| in London at Christmas to the effect that if .the Tourmaline, the vessel of the expedition, persisted in her inten- tion to land arms and ammunition on the Sus coast she would meet with a warm reception by the troops and ships of the Sultan of Morocco. The Saturday _Review protests against “such buccaneering expedi- tions, hazarding imperial prestige for the benefit of a band of needy adven- turers and unpicturesque freebooters.” and expresses the hope that the Sultan will press a claim for damages for | “this flagrant breach of international faith, even though the pockets of ex-diplomatists cordingly.” The Statist says that the wheat crop of India promises splendidly. ting will begin during the® month and it will be shipped at the end of March or early in April, “thus im- mensely benefiting Europe at the time American suppliesarelow.” TheStatist further remarks that it is expected Australia will be in a position to ex- port a great deal more than expected. GENERAL BOYCE IS LOCATED [N CANADA. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—General H. H. Boyce, formerly of Los Angeles, who is suffer ac- alleged by Legislator Otis of Ohio to have | offered him $10,000 for his vote to retain Mark A. Hanna in the United States Senate, has been found in Montreal, Can- ada. e says his secrecy is to protect, not Hanna, but President McKinley, and that when the proper time comes he will tell the whole story of the Senatorial election in Ohio.

Whole Country Prefers War to Seeing Rus- sia Own China. But the Aged Queen Now De- sires to End Her Days ° in Peace. DEFICIENCY OF THE ARMY Sir Charles Dilke Shows That Great Britain’s Land Forces Are in a Deplorable State. Copyrighted 1838 by James Gordon Bennett. | LONDON, Feb. 5.—The newspaper | event of the week was the Times’ re- port of England’s right-about-face in | regard to Tallen Wan. It is not be- lieved here, but if it proves true it will arouse ugly popular displeasure, | because the whole country is solid for war rather than see China closed to commerce or owned by Russia. If the Times’ story is the true reason it must | be the desire of the aged Queen to end {her days without war. The English press to-day, between the lines of its editorials, warns the sovereign that de- spite loyalty, even monarchs are apt to be forgotten when the nation s angered. Foreign military officers have long been saying that the British army is largely a paper force, and that it is falling into a perilous condition. It re- mained for Sir Charles Dilke to be the first to tell the English the same thing with facts to prove it. This he has done in a series of articles in the whole | of this week’s issue of the Daily Mail, | entitled, “Why we need an army.” He says that although the British policy is a defensive one, yet when war comes | it will have to be aggressive. He scoffs | at an alliance, and says that no Brit- ish government will bind the country | to one of the ‘great combinations in | time of peace, and as to arbitration, he argues that by means of it other powers might squeeze the vital inter- | ests out of England under the present | forms instead of a by a downright | threat. “It is probable,” Sir Charles “that in any general European war in which we might engage against a combination the United States will be | meutral and will free us from too close attention to the defense of Canada. This might tend to produce a feeling less favorable to peace than the exist- ing condition of affairs. It is certain that no British government will pro- | pose to keep a large force in Canada |in time of peace, while to send one there in time of war would be more a question of command of the sea than an army question.” He sums up the situation by saying: “No one who knows the true condi- tion of the home army and militia and volunteers can imagine that we pos- sess an army fit at sudden call for any of the duties I have described. The British public has never before been told the truth, and such are the ridicul- | ous conditions that recruiting has grown difficult. Minimum height and chest measurements have been reduced and a large number of boys have been admitted, and recruits who die like flies, if sent to India or the tropics, or even to the Mediterranean, under 20, have been sent in increasing numbers. Swiss militiamen can march with their | heavy packs as well as the French two- and-a-half-year men or German two- | year soldiers, but our men for years never marched in such marching order.” He says there is no resemblance | whatever between England’s reserve world. As for cavalry regiments, he says the time which would be con- sumed in making the cavalry fit for the fleld out of the present skeleton regiments, is incredible. As for the artillery, its condition is absolutely disgraceful, the last year three batteries sent to South Africa be- ing chosen as in the highest state of preparation for war. They should have required twenty-seven men to complete them, but they actually required 189 men to do so. Horses were taken from twenty otber batteries, whose efficiency was thus destroyed. The home cavalry would require nearly 10,000 horses. It possesses only 3600. The militla is paper force; there are 14,000 men ab- sent, and 641 officers lacking. As regards the army and the militia there is no provision for waste in war. There is nothing behind the front line, for the army reserves and the militia reserves are both counted in that line by the authorities. ARE YET AFTER SENATOR LINDSAY. The Kentucky Legislature Continues to Desire' the Statesman’s Resignation. CINCINNATI, Feb..5.—A special to the Commercial-Tribune from Frankfort, Ky., says: A majority of the House sig- nified its intention to-day to continue its appeal to Senator Lindsay to resign. The Senator's response to the legislative re- quest for his resignation, delivered in the Senate at Washington yesterday, waa read with interest by members of both houses. Mr. Meyers, Republican, of Greenup, in the morning preliminaries of the House, said that body had suspended proceedings last week to have read a newspaper article attacking Senator Lindsay, and, in view of this, he now moved that Senator Lindsay’'s response to the request for his resignation should be made part of the journal. There were cries of “No" from the Democratic side, and Speaker Brannan ruled the motion out of order. SR e A Ex-Senator Routier Dying. SACRAMENTO, Feb. b5.—Ex-Senator who was injured in a runaway accident, revived a little yester- day, and it was thought he would re- cover, but a report from his home ten miles in the country to-night is to the effect that be is thought to be dying. } - ] thrown by force of arms before that | and the reserve of other powers in the | s REVOLT IN TW0 LATIN REPUBLICY Enemies of Nicaragua and Costa Rica at Work. Unpopular Governments Are Simultaneously Assailed. San Juan in the Hands of the Rebels, but Details Are Suppressed. STRIFE ALSO AT SAN JOSE. Ambition to Remain in Power Is the Cause of the Uprising Against Iglesias. Copyrighted 1898 by James Gordon Bennett. | PANAMA, Feb. 5—The enemies nt: Costa Rica and Nicaragua have chosen | the same time to strike forcible blows | at the existing governments. Both | countries are in open revolt, and the information so far received shows that the inovements are serious. Few details of the uprising in Costa Rica have reached here, owing to the‘ strict censorship immediately estab-| lished. It is known, however, that se- | rious troubles have taken place in San | Jose, and the Government is actively | preparing for radical steps to subdue the revolutionary movement. In Nica- | ragua the movement seems to be more | widespread. News just received is that outbreaks occurred simultaneously in | San Juan del Sur, at the western end of the Nicaragua Canal; Matagalpa, a | city in the interior, and the extreme northwestern provinces of Leon and Chinandega. San Juan is now in the hands of the rebels, and active operations are under way. The full extent of these opera- | tions so far is not *known. | News of revolt in Nicaragua received | so far came in secret dispatches to sev- eral prominent Nicaragua exiles now in Panama. This information is confirmed by the fact that a cable censorship has | been established. This censorship has | cut off all direct communication with | Mamagua and Costa Rica. Great dis-| content has prevailed in Costa Rica | since November last, when President Iglesias caused himself to be re-elected for a second term, previously changing the constitution, which expressly stated that no President could serve more than one term. His second term com- | mences on May 1, if he is not over-| date. In the election he was opnosed | by Dr. Juaa Flores and Zenon Castro, | candidates of the Republican party. | Refore the election both were exiled. | Dr. Fleres is now supposed to be in| New Orleans or New York, and senor | Castro is in Salvador, presuming they have not secretly returned to Costa Rica and are at the head of the move- | ment there. | The economical conditions in Costa | Rica are also bad, due to the low price of coffee and the high rate of ex-| change. The situation there now is analogous_to that in Guatemala before the uprisfig in September last against President Barrios. Ambition to remain | in power is, as I sald ir a dispatch to the Herald when Senor Iglesias was re- | elected, the cause of the present up- heaval. —_— PLENTY OF REBELLION IN CENTRAL AMERICA. The Navy Department Will Lose No | Time in Sending Cruisers to Pro- | tect Uncle Sam’s Subjects. | NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—A Washington | speclal to the Herald says: With a| revolution officially reported in Costa | Rica, another in Nicaragua and rebel- | lion impending in Salvador, Central America is in a ferment. i Minister Merry, in San Jose, the cap- | ital of Costa Rica, cabled to the State Department to-day that “Revolution | was inaugurated here yesterday.” Up | to a late hour to-night nothing official \ has been received, so far as can be| learned, regarding the revolution in| Nicaragua. ‘ Advices received by the State Depart- ment several weeks ago from Consul Jenkins, in Salvador, announced that “revolution is impending.” Mr. Jen- kins has supplemented this by dis- patches showing the necessity for the presence of a man-of-war at La Lib- ertad. The gunboat Marietta was or- dered to proceed to that port. She left Acapulco, Mexico, on February 8, and is expected to reach her destination to- morrow. No orders were issued by the Navy Department to-day to any men-of-war to proceed to Costa Rica. The cruiser | Alert 18 at San Juan del Sur, and should the revolt at that place not prove to be of a serious character she will probably go to Costa Rica. The gunboat Newport is on the eastern side of Nicaragua, at Greytown, and will af- ford protection to American interests. Minister Calvo, the representative of Costa Rica here, does not believe the report that a revolution has occurred in Costa Rica. Senor Corea, Charge | d’Affaires of the Greater Republic of | Central America, told me to-night that he was without advices respecting the report that a revolution has broken out in Nicaragua. In well-informed Pan- American circles the report is balieved, as it has.been known for some time that a strong party was forming in Nicaragua antagonistic to President Zelaya, and determined to accomplish his downfall. - In view of the fact that President Guitterez of Salvador has his hands full in coping with the situation in his country, it is not expected he can lend any support to President Zelaya, as he dld some months ago when he aided that official in suppressing the revolt :!hen directed against his administra- | on. LITTLE HAYTI WILL AGAIN BE BULLDOZED. Italian Warships Now on the Way to Enforce Payment of Indem- nity Claims. ‘ PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Feb. b— Reports persistently circulated and ap- parently well founded that Italian war- ships are coming to Haytl to enforce the payment of an indemnity claim cause much anxiety here. I am advised to-day that Italian men-of-war are now at St. Thomas coaling.

Now Spain Is Rushing the Work on the Naval Armaments. THE CONDITIONS IN CUBA. While Blanco Is Trying to Induce the Insurgents to Surrender the War Goes Steadily On. Special Dispatch to The Call. MADRID, Feb. 5.—El Heraldo says that*General Stewart L. Woodford, the United States Minister, to-day present- ed an official note to the Spanish Gov- ernment, to which Premier Sagasta re- sponded in vigorous terms. The work on the naval armament is being actively rushed, and the Spanish | squadron will proceed shortly for the Canary Islands. GENERAL BLANCO’S . EFFORTS ARE IN VAIN. Proceeds to Puerto Principe and Attempts to Induce Some In- surgent Chief to SHrrender. Copyrighted 1898 by James Gordon Bennett. HAVANA, Feb. 5.—General Blanco broke his return journey to Neuvitas in order to proceed to Puerto Principe and make a last effort to induce some rebel chief of importance to surrender. The latest advices do not show that he | has met with any success so far. A | special steamer remains at Neuvitas awaiting General Blanco, who is lpoked for in Havana any day. Spanish merchanfs here oppose the new government in its attempt to car- ry into effect a commercial treaty with the United States. Hitherto the pro- hibitive duty has practically kept out American goods, and Spanish mer- chants enjoyed a monopoly. They are now using every effort to prevent the treaty being signed. As an example of the way American goods are kept out I may mention a case that oc- curred a few days ago when an Amer- ican firm was compelled to pay a duty of $700 on 200 dozen chickens, and the remainder of a live cargo in propor- tion. General Lee is much aggrieved over Secretary Sherman'’s actien in handing contributions for the relief of the poor in Cuba to Minister de Lome, who for- wards the amount direct to the Span- ish authorities here. Through this ac- tion an attempt is being made here to discredit General Lee. Among the passengers who arrived here to-day on board the Spanish steamer Maria Cristina were Senor Eduardo Dolz, Secretary of Posts and Telegraphs in the Colonial Cabinet; Senator Elizo Giberga and thirty offi- cers and 1450 soldiers. The Secretary and Senator were received by the cen- tral and other committees of the au- tonomist party, who went out on a tug. The new arrivals were cheered by crowds on the wharves. Captain George A. Converse of the United States cruiser Montgomery, ac- companied by Lieutenant Ramsey and United States Consul Brice, visited the Governor of Matanzas yesterday, and to-day the Governor, his secretary and other authorities of Matanzas returned the visit of the American officers. As told in previous dispatches, Gen- eral Lee on Sunday last gave a break- fast to the officers of the Maine. The breakfast was given in the rooms of the Havana Yacht Club at Plaza de Mariano, a suburb of Havapa. It seems the insurgents heard of this af- fair, and a band arranged a demon- stration, the purpose being to fmpress the navy officers with the proximity of insurgent forces to Havana. Gen- eral Lee's party broke up earlier than was expected to attend a bull fight. It hardly disappeared before there were raiders firing shots about the club- house. The rebels were quickly dis- persed by a detachment of Spanish soldiers under command of Major Tapia Ruano. DEATH HAS CLAIMED MONSIGNOR M’COLGAN. BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.—Monsignor Ed- ward McColgan, by virtue of his title an honorary member of the pontifical house- hold, vicar-general of the archdiocese of Baltimore and for more than half a cen- tury pastor of St. Peter's Catholic Church, died at 9:15 o’clock this morning at the parish residence, adjoining the church, He was aged 86 years 9 months PUTS THE BLAME 0N ARMENTANS Hepworth Gives the Cause of Recent Slaughters.

Copyright, 1588, by James Gordon Bennett. mission to Armenia has been complet- ed, and Dr. Hepworth’'s last letters from Asiatic Turkey will be printed in the Herald to-morrow. They possess an extraordinary interest, summariz- ing, as they do, the results of a most thorough investigation of the question which has so long been agitating t}}e civilized world. The most important of opatra, bound for Constantinople, Jan. 9, 1898,” and in it Dr. Hepworth says: “The Armenian massacres were caused by Armenian revolutionists, and if these revolutionists had kept quiet there would never have been any mas- sacres. That is true beyond the possi- bility of denial. These rogues, a few miserable hundred of them, havecaused all the trouble, while they themselves have escaped from the ¢onsequences of their guilt. They would have been com- the expressed or tacit sympathy of England and Russia. England has in- spired them with the notion that they: traded on that fact and made their liv- ing out of it. They steal their way into villages, stir the inhabitants with the hope of autonomy, declaring that all | they have to do is to place themselves in open revolt, and then the great pow- ers will rush to their aid and make them into a sort of Bulgaria. England is undoubtedly responsible for a great deal that has taken place, encouraging these refugees and inciting them to do countrymen in almost ruin. “If there were any chance of Arme+ nian success the game would be well worth the candle, and the objeét in view quite worth the sacrifice neces- sary to accomplish it. We Americans know that freedom is worth any price which circumstances demand, but England is perfectly well aware that it would be far easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for Armenians to achieve autonomy, and her sympathy with the professional revolutionists is simply criminal. As for Russia, she guards her frontier with sedulous care, except when an Armenian with a box of guns wishes to cross, and then she shuts her eyes and lets him go. He will play into her hands, without doubt, for disturbed and embarrassed Turkey may afford her the opportunity which she has long been seeking. “The most threatening spot in Ana- tolia is the region of Van. It is within a few hours of the Persian frontier, and is positively invested with these troublesome mischief makers. They cross the border, preach revolt to Ar- menians—to those who will listen, at least—and then go back to a place of safety. Van is, therefore, at once the hardest vilayet in Asia Minor to gov- ern, and.a serious menace to continued peace. In a word, it is a prophecy of bad times to come. Imprison these few hundred revolutionists and there would be no fear of the future. Of course Turkey is jnot blind to this fact, but she prefers to pursue the barbarous policy of wholesale murder, with the hope of exterminating the race. The truth is, Turkey is easily thrown into a fright, and she imagines things to be a thousand times worse than they are. She can only-claim charitable judgment on .the ground that she has been panic stricken, and during a pe- riod of mental aberration has done deeds which have made the world won- der. “Another fact with regar to the present condition of Turkey has been forced upon me, namely, that a coun- try which never builds roads has no commercial future and will suffer in the sharp competition for the world's trade. Moreover, it is clear to me that Turkey will never organize practical reforms. Not all'the powers of Europe can force them on her. She doesn’t know how to reform, is quite content to remain as she is and hates all in- novations, even in the shape of im- irretrievable and a few days. provements.” ADVERTISEMENTS. A A AAARAA AN DR.

The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location giving strength and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural functions and has been an absolute suc- cess in all cases. A request to the State Medical Institute, 193 First National Bank Building, Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one of their free trial pack- ages will be complied with. The institute is desirous of reaching that great class of men. who are unable to leave home to be treated and the free sample will en- able them ‘to see how easy it is to be cured of sexual weakness when the proper remedies are employed. The in- stitute makes no restrictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its recipient need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity. Readers are requested to write without delay. Chichester’s Engltsh ENNYROYAL PiLls
