Cavaignac leaves be- hind him, although General Pellieux is sgpoken of, This seems, however, mere conjecture, as it is impossible that any | step should have been | authoritative taken already for the fresh Minister of War, It' was General Pellleux who made | the appeal to the jury in the first Zola trial which created such a sensation.

Copyrighted, 185, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, Sept. 3.—I had an interview this afternoon with a Senator who at one time or another has probably | known more of the Government's se- | crets than any other man in public life | at the present time in France. The sum total of his statements is that a revision is not only certain, but that it is an obligation which the Govern- ment cannot shirk. In this he only | shares the opinion of most of the peo- | ple here who are not blinded by pas- sion. “I don’t think,” he said, “that the former trials will be annuiled. On the contrary, I imagine a revision will be undertaken on the ground of fresh e | dence having be S d. | the criminal code | that no case can be | fresh evidence be pr the innocence of the prisoner. fact that Colonel Henry forged a letter ow prescribes two years later than the t can cer- tainly not be taken as evidence of this character, but the code ) gives an- other ground upon which a fresh trial may be ordered, and that is when a | witn may later be proved to have committed perj . Colonel Henry was one of the prin- cipal witnesses in the Dreyfus trial in 1894, Although he has not been proved to have been a perjurer, yet the mere fact that he has now confessed to for- gery gives ground for a suspicion that his evidence in the trial may have been false. It is therefore probable that a revision of the trial will be or- dered on this ground. Personally, I 4 | think there are decidedly good grounds | for annulling the trial, but if the same result can be procured by a way not open to such grave objections it is bet- }(Ar t§|at such a course should be fol- owed.” —_— WAITING FOR MME. DREYFUS TO DEMAND A NEW TRIAL Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1838% by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, Sept. 3.—The Government is waliting, walting, probably with the hope that Mme. Dreyfus will make a demand for a fresh trial, using Henry's confession as a “fresh incident” called for by law before a case can fe re- opened. Should Mme. Dreyfus make such demand there doubt that it would be granted at once. The Minister of Justice would find him- f confronted by a plea in regular orm and procedure so dear to the French mind. once brought into the judicial path, which it seems to have quit in 1894 Cverything would be in order. A new trial would be instituted, and whether the verdict were again “guilty” or “in- nocent,” both parties would be com- p-‘_l.«l to accept it as final. There seems to be one danger in re- | vision upon Mme. Dreyfus’ demand that more than one prominent man is regarding anxiously at the present mo- | ment. This is, suppose the verdict ‘shuu!{l happen to be “Dreyfus is inno- cent,” what would not only France, but the entire civilized world say to a Gov- ernment that had not the courage to take one single step to right a possible | error, even when confronted with proof of fraud and its natural corollary that | connection with the case. | But it seems to be written that in this | affalr every advantage gained by the revisionists should be wrested from the | ruling powers by dint of hard fighting and mere force of irrefutable evidence, Eeies ey e L Wilhelmina a Colonel.

CAMP ‘WIKOFF, MONTAUK POINT, Sept. 3.—President McKinley spent five hours in the camp to-day, bareheaded most of the time, visiting the sick in the hospitals and inspecting the well in their cantonments. . He made a speech to the assembled infan- trymen, reviewed the cavalrymen, ex- pressed his opinion of the camp to the reporters and issued an order directing the regiments to return to their sta- tions east of the Mississippl. With the President were Vice Presi- dent Hobart, Secretary Alger, Attorney General Griggs, Senator Redfield Proc- tor of Vermont, Brigadier General Ea- gan, commissary general of the arm Brigadier General Ludington, quarter- masterof the army; Colonel Heckerand Secretaries to the President Porter and Cortelyou. The ladies of the party were Mrs. Alger and Miss Hecker, a daughter of Colonel Hecker. General Wheeler, his staff and nearly every of- ficer of prominence in the camp met the President at the station, except General Shafter, who is still in deten- tion, and General Young, who fell and broke his arm last night. After greet- ings and introductions on the railway platform, the President took General Wheeler's arm and went to a car- riage. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of the Rough Riders was among a group of horsemen near by. Mr. McKinley saw him and got out of the carriage to speak to him. Colonel Roosevelt has- tily dismounted and tussled with a gauntlet for fifteen seconds, so that ungloved he might shake hands. The column of carriages wound up a hill escorted by the Third Cavalry Regi- ment and the mounted band of the Sixth Cavalry. The party paused a moment on the hill and the President looked out on the wide undulating cape, water bounding each side and whitened on the levels and hilltops by the tents of 18,000 men, laid out in geometric lines. Mr. McKinley drove to General Shaf- ter's tent in the detention camp. The general, who was flushed and weak from a mild case of malarial fever, was in full uniform, sitting in a chair at the door of the tent. He tried to rise, but Mr. McKinley said: “Stay where you arg, general. You are entitled to rest.” ’f'he President congratulated General Shafter on the Santiago campaign, and after a full minute's rest proceeded to the general hospital. The soldiers recently arrived on the transports and detained in the deten- tion section of the camp lined up ir- regularly on each side.cf the room and cheered. Mr. McKinley took off his straw hat then, and scarcely more than put it on for more than a minute or two at a time during the remainder of his progress through the camp. Miss Wheeler, a daughter of the general, happened to be in the first row of the hospital tents, and she showed the President through her division. General Wheeler announced in each ward: “Boys, the President has come to see you,” or “Soldiers, the President of the United States.” Some of the soldiers slept uncon- scious, some listlessly raised upon their elbows, others feebly clapped their DS McKinley gently shook hands with many and at every cot he paused an instant, and if he saw the sick man looking m he bowed in a direct and WAy pelr:Qtr:: ;ecgnd ward the President en- tered Sergeant John A. Alexander, Company D, First Illincis, who has a fever, was rather startled to hear Gen- eral Wheeler announce the President. The sergeant half raised up on his cot. Mr. McKinley, attracted by the move- ment, took Alexander’s hands and said: “T am sorry to see you so sick. I hope | are getting better.” mi"lt'hlgunuk you, I think I shall get weil.” “Do you wish for anything?” inquired General Wheeler. “No. I have everything good for me, I guess,” Alexander replied wearily; “put I wish I were home.” “I hope that we may soon get you there,” sald Mr. McKinley. He had many such bits of talk with the men, and seemed to be in no hurry. He al- most outwore the patience of all his party by -his slow going through ward after ward. When seemingly all the wards of the general hospital bad been gone through and the President was about to get into his carriage, Attorney General Griggs detained him. *‘Miss Wheeler has told me,” said he, ‘“‘of -a Lieutenant Prado who: is in a tent back here by himself, and he is in a dying condition. He has asked about your coming, and Miss Wheeler has promised that you shall see him.” “Certainly. Let us go to him,” Mr. McKinley said. The others of the party discreetly re- mained outside the tent. The President reappeared with the nurse a minute or two later. His eyes were moist and downcast. As it was inconvenient to go back to the doors of the long tents Mr. McKin- ley would go through the framework at the ends of the tent and jump down. The general hospital Is on a slope, and the height of the floor from the ground is increased at each ward. At Ward F the jump was nearly six feet. Mr. Mec- Kinley took it. Vice President Hobart, who is a bulky man, hesitated. “I 1k here. Can’t go over this hurdle,” he said. Neither would Secretary Alger, who had taken all the jumps until then. But General Wheeler sprang lightly down. The day was hot. Mr. McKinley wore a black frock coat with a waistcoat. The perspiration streamed from his face. A glass of mineral water was of- fered to him, but he declined to drink, saying that he was too warm. He pro- ceeded to the infantry plain as it is called. The men of the Ninth Massa- chusetts, the First Illinois, the Eighth Ohio, . the Thirteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Tenth Regular In- fantry were assembled without arms. About 5000 men stood in close order. General Wheeler said: “The President of our great country has come here to greet the soldlers that marched so gallantly up San Juan hill on July 1. He comes here to express the nation’s thanks to these brave men. 1 wish to tell you that when the Presi- dent sent me here two weeks ago to command this camp he enjoined me in most emphatic language that I should, without regard to expense, ex- ercise any and every authority neces- sary to make comfortable this body of brave men, who, by their courage, have raised this republic to the highest po- sition among the great nations of the earth. I have the honor and pleasure of introducing to you the President of the United States.” President McKinley said: “General Wheeler, soldiers of Camp Wikoff, soldiers of the Fifth. Army Corps: I trust that you will put your hats on—I am glad to see you. I am honored to stand before you to-day. I bring the gratitude of the nation to whose history vou have added by your valor a new and glorious page. You have come home after two months of severe campaigning which has em- braced assault, siege and battle, so brilliant in achievement, so far reach- ing in results as to command the un- stinted praise of all your countrymen. You had the brunt of the battle on land. You bore yourselves with su- preme courage and your personal brav- ery, never before excelled anywhere, has won the admiration of your fellow- citizens and the genuine respect of all mankind, while your endurance under peculiar trial and suffering has given added meaning to your heroism. Your exertions made easy the conquest of Porto Rico, under the army command- ed by General Miles and behind you to proceed at a moment’s summons, were more than 200,000, of their comrades, ready to support you, disappointed that the opportunity which you had did not come to them yet filled with pride at your well earned fame and rejoicing upon your signal victory. “You were on the line of battle—they no less than you were on the line of duty. All have served their country in its need and will serve it as 1ong as they may be required, and all wifl for- ever have the thanks and regard of a grateful people. “We cannot bid you welcome here to- day without our hearts going out to the herbes of Manila, on sea and land, whose services and sacrifices. whose courage and constancy in that far dis- tant field of operations have never been surpassed by any soldiers or sailors the world over. To the army and the navy, to the marines, to the regulars, to the volunteers and to the Providence which has-watched over them all, the nation'| ! to-day is full of thanksglying and praise. The brave officers and men wh fell in battle and those who have die from exposure and sickness will live i immortal story, and thelr memories will be perpetuated in the hearts an history of a generous people and thost who are dependent on them will not b¢ neglected by the Government for \\'hg,c) they so freely sacrificed their lives. The soldiers cheered many times. Th part of the fleld where the Eighth Ohic stood, the regiment ihich is some times called “The President’s Own was particularly noisy. The party th went to the detention hospital by & road that passed -in the rear of the general hospital. The graveyard, in which sixty or seventy plain new wood- en crosses stood, was near the road on the left. The President solemnly raised his hat. Mr. McKinley went through all the wards of the detention hospital in the same careful way in which he had gonc through those of the general hospital When he came to the last ward Major R. T. Ebert said: “This is a dangerou: ward,” and turning to Mr. Alger, in- quired, Do you think the President had better go in here?” Mr. McKinley without waiting to hear what General Alger's reply would be, started into the ward. General Alger and the others of the party re- maining outside. The Presidential party then drove through lines of cavalry drawn up on efther side of the road Among them were the Rough Riders. the Second, Sixth, Tenth and First Regular Cavalry. The Third Regulars were still acting as the President's es- cort. Mr. McKinley then drove to Gen- eral Wheeler's headquarters and sat under the shade of a tent fly for awhile. Secretary Alger and General Wheeler were with him. The President saw Colonel John Jacob Astor in a group a few yards away and he beckoned to the colonel, who went over, shook hands with the President and remained a few minutes in the party. The President and those with him took lunch with General Wheeler and his staff. After lunch the President, Mr. Alger, General Wheeler and Colonel Hard of the Eighth Ohio were photo- graphed in a group. The President then issued an order directing that the regular troops at Camp Wikoff whose posts are east of the Mississippi should return with the least possible delay to their posts. The Presidential party then went down to the station and left on a special train at 1:50. On the train Mr. McKin- ley made this statement: “I was very much pleased to meet the heroes of Santiago and to observe their splendid spirit. What I saw of the care of th2 sick men in the hospitals by those in charge aad by the noble women en- gaged in that work was especially grat- ifying to me.” When the President arrived at Long Island City he took the Government ferry-boat General Meigs and was taken around the lower end of Manhat- tan Island to the Jersey shore on his way to the Vice-President’s home in Paterson, N. J.,, where he will spend Sunday. Advances made on furniture and planos. with or without removal J.N -~nan.1017-1023 Mission. —_——————— Succumbs to His Injuries.
