The lat- nvention here this GOVERNMENT WILL NOT INTERFERE IN GUATEMALA Foreigners Who Bought Central American Bonds May Lose Heavily. NEW YORK Vv 13.—A Washington special to the World says: While the State Department believes the Guate- malan Govern atment of fc eign creditors is such as to cause de- mands for redr id that noth- ing has been re indicating that Germany and Great Britain contem- plate forcible action for the protection of the interests of their subjects. As the department has learned that American citizens e also involved in President Cabrera’s proposition to re- fund Government . debts, Minister Hunter is carefully watehing develop- ments in the financial trying to protect American interests. An official of the department said that foreigners who placed their money in bonds of Central American republics expecting to buy them at a low rate and obtain high interes S compensation run the risk of losing funds invested. This Government has never inter- fered with financial squabblings of Central American republics and there is no likelihood that it will object to the naval demonstrations by Great Britain and Germany in the interest of their subjects, provided no ment of the Monroe doctrine is contem- plated. While expecting a revolution in Gua- temala the State Department does not take the situation sufficiently serious to require the dispatch of a ship. Should fighting occcur or a naval demonstra- tion be made the Vixen will be sent from Bluefields and a warship from the Pacific station sent to the Guatemalan coast. A Journal special from San Francisco declares that a private cipher telegram from Guatemala says the uprising oc- curred against President Cabrera and falled.

ALWAYS IN QUEST OF THE TRUTH EW YORK, July 13.—Emile Zola may | be somewhat prejudiced when it 4 comes to criticizing the letters of | Alfred Dreyfus, but it is certain| that the letters in many respects bear | witness to the truth of his statement. This is how Zola described them: are admirable. [ do not know of any| pages of a higher conception or more eloquent. They have attalned the sublime in sorrow, and afterward will endure like an imperishable when our own writings, perhaps, shall have passed into oblivion. For they are the sob itself of all human suffering. The man who wrote these let- ters cannot be guilty. Read them-—read them some evening with vour family gathered around your hearthstone. You will be dissolved in tears.” The Dreyfus affair hitherto has been like a novel without a hero—that is, the hero disappeared in the opening chapter and it has taken ever since to develop the plot and work up a climax which is al- without parallel for its dramatic quality. Enter the hero, mete out justice to the villain, and the world tistied. y, the great- est and most artistic stage manager the world has ever seen, never fail of their | effect, and there is more joy in the world | over the happy ending in this great his- torlc play, the Dreyfus affair, than could be derived from the best novel or short story in the world, because the degrada- tion” of this innocent man was a thing which came home with startling power to The hero of the tragic story was lost sight of after and in the first| chapter. It-was known where he was, and that was almost all. The scene of the story as told hitherto by the newspapers was laid almost alto-| ether in France. Gf the scenes laid” in ‘Ile du Diable, and of the feeling which ruled in the heart of a man torn from his family and his honor, the newspapell‘s t had been left entirely to our imagination to plece out that part of the story until s let- ters to his wife closed the gap and com- pleted the sad history of l'affaire Dreyfu The translation of these letters, whi Harper & Brothers are about to publish under the title of “The Letters of Dreyfus to His Wife,” gives us for the first time the story in the prisoner's own words; and it is a story that for pathos, tragedy despair and true Spartan heroism is u surpassed in the annals of either history or fiction. The arrest, which took place! on the 15th of October, 189, came upon | Dreyfus like a bolt out of a clear sky.| For almost two months the liberty of writing even to his wife was forbidden, “They | + from you.

Dreyfus assured the tailor of his confidence in the issue of the coming trial. The city of Remnes is greatly excited over the*fact that pla- cards were posted throughout the town last night bearing the words “Vive Dreyfus.” : + R R R R R R o o but on'December § the longed-for permis- ion was obtained, and thereafter letters passed between husband and wife daily, and sometimes almost hourly, he The let- + + R R S + + + + + + + + + + was removed- to Devils Island. ters published in this volume cover .the {!Scs;gio from December 5, 1894, to March 5, It goes without saying that the entire correspondence should be read to appre= clate their pathos and the hopeless trag- edy of the writer's lot. The extracts which this article contains will give some con- ception of their general character. They also give for the first time an intimate insight into the heroic soul of their author. It will be perhaps best to begin wi.h the second letter of the series, dated December 5, 1894, when Dreyfus as yet had hardly realized the danger that men- aced him. 1 am waiting with impatience for a letter accuse me of a crime so frightful, so mon- strous, my whole being trembles: my body re- volts against it. To have worked all my life for one thing alone, to avenge my country, to struggle for her against the infamous ravisher who has snatched from us our dear Alsace, and then to be accused of treason agalnst that country—no, my loved one, my mind refuses to comprehend it! Do you remember my telling you how, when I was in Mulhouse, ten years ago, in September, 1 heard a German band un- der our windows celebrating the anniversary My grief was such that 1 wept; I bit the sheets of my bed with rage, and T swore an oath to consecrate all my strength, all my intelligence, to the service of my coun- of Sedan? the grief of Alsace. No, mo. I will not speak of it, for I shall go mad, and 1 must preserve all my reason. More- over, my life has henceforth but one aim: to find the wretch who has betrayed his country; to find the traitor for whom no_punishment could be too severe. Oh, dear France, thou that I love with all my soul, with all my heart! thou to whom I have consecrated all my strength, all my intelligence, how could one accuse me of a crime so horrible! T will not write upon this subject, my darling; for spasms take me by the throat. No man has ever borne the martyrdom that I endure. No physical suffering can be compared to the men- tal agony that I feel when my thoughts turn | to this accusation. defend, T assure you that I should prefer death; at least, death would be forgetfulness. Write to me soon. My love to all. ALFRED. From the letter written on the day pre- ceding his trial it is seen that he was still, after two months’' imprisonment, sanguine and hopeful, with never a doubt about his ultimate acquittal. It is in striking contrast to the letter written after the trial, when the worst had hap- gcned and the nightmare had come true. oth letters are appended: At last T am coming to the end of my suffer- ings, to the end of my agony. To-morow I shall appear before my judges, my brow high, my soul tranquil. The trial I have undergone, ter- rible as it has been, has purified my soul. I shall return to you better than I was before. 1 want to consecrate to you, to my children, to gur dear families, all the time I have yet to ive. = As T have told you, I have passed through awful crises. I have had moments of furiou actual madness at the thought of being a cused of a crime so monstrous. T am ready to appear before the soldiers as a soldier who has nothing for which to reproach himself. They will see it {n my face; they will read my soul; they will be convinced ‘that I am innocent; as all will who know me. The letter written after-his trial reads as follows: I suffer much, but I pity myself. T know how much you love me. Your heart must bleed. On my side, my adored one, my thought has always been of you night and If T had not my honor to ou still more than day. To be innocent, to have lived a life without a stain, and to see one's self condemned for the most monstrous crime that a soldier can com- mit! What could be more terrible? It seems to me at times that I am the victim of an awful nightmare. It is for you alone that I have re- sisted until to-day; it is for you alone, my adored one, that I have borne my long agony. ‘Will my strength hold out to the end? I can- not tell. No one but you can give me courage. 1t is only from your love that I can draw it. ‘Above all else, no matter what may become of me, search for the truth; move earth and heaven to discover it; sink in the effort, if need be, all our fortune to rehabilitate my name, which now is dragged through the mud. No matter what may be the cost, we must wash out the unmerited stain. After his fate was sealed and he had been removed to Devils Island, his deter- mination that the truth shall be brought to light s stronger than ever. In conclusion, If there existed the slight- est doubt of Alfred Dreyfus' innocence, the publication of these letters cannot fail to dispel it. As Zola says, “No guilty man could have written them. TELL ABOUT THE RIOTS AT WARDNER Witnesses in the Corcoran Case Give Interesting Testimony. T ! Special Dispatch 'f’ The Call. WALLACE, Idaho, July 13.—The tes- timony in the Corcoran case to-day was of the same general nature The pr called a large number of witnesses to prove the alleged conspiracy. Several witnesses from Burke and Mullan de- | tafled the occurrences of April 28. They were nearly all members of the miner: unions, and with few exceptions were Scandinavians whose knowledge of the fnglish language was very imperfect. The evidence showed that on the morn- ing of the 20th tke miners at Burke and Mullan coming off the night shift were | who instructed | them to meet at the union hall at 8 o'clock. The day men were similarly instructed. At the Mullan meeting the question of masking was discussed and voted down, the men declaring they were American citizens and were going to do nothing of which they were ashamed. The wit- nesses all understood the visit to Ward- ner to be for the purpose of giving moral support to the strikers. It was brought cut, however, that masks and guns were furnished the men in the union hall at Burke and that the Mul- lan delegation procured a quantity of arms from a barn while on the way to Wallace to meet the train. Dr. 1. S. Collins of Burke gave some testimony which went far toward show- ing guilty knowledge and intent on the part of the Burke miners. He was re- turning along the railroad from a visit 1o a patient and had to pass the rioters’ train standing at the depot. He was ordered by masked men to get aboard. He pleaded professional duties, but was told that his patients could look after themselves, and that he might be needed below. At Wardner he was in- gtructed to remain near the train, and if he heard any shooting to immediately repair to the scene of disturbance. He obeyed, and after the first volley went down to the Bunker Hill concentrator and was directed to the spot where lay the body of Smith, who expired a mo- ment after the arrival of the physi- cian. Joe Riddle, a precoclous youth of 13 living at Mullan, related how his mother had told him there was going to be trouble at Wardner, and that to see the fun he had accompanied the men on the day of the riot. Witness proved to be an intense sympathizer with union- fsm and created considerable laughter by telling how he had “jacked up” Sin- clair because he had promised to send the youth to school. The boy has been under arrest for some time, but de- clared he would rather take chances with the “dynamiters than the Bunker Hill crowd.” Companies A and L, First Cavalry, were to-day removed to Wardner under order of Major Smith. Many of their horses have died here, caused by being leaded. The concentrators up the can- yon use the river as a dumping place and the horses became poisoned in eat- ing their food from the low ground along the river, so that it was neces- sary to move to a better location.

ANTIOCH, July 13.—The delegates of the Agricultural Assoclation, who are in- gpecting the State, reached here at 7 o'clock this morning. They took the steamer Caroline, which had been espe- cially chartered for their benefit, and spent the day upon the San Joaquin River.

Wiley, chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture, who a num- | ber of vears ago was stationed at Union Island when the Department of Agricul- ture was operating an experiment sta- tion there upon a small scale, upon the result of the agriculture possibilities of the land along the river. At that time | Dr. W ras experimenting with a view aining just what kind of vege- land was best suited to, and the very products that he reported could be raised are the ones that to-day are s of | w. the main sources of revenue to the farm- ers of the section. Dr. Wiley said that the richnes f the soil of the islands, as well as the land along the river, is such that It is capable of producing anything. He said that rice can be successfully | raised in this soil, and that when he wa: ast here he determined the fact by suc- ful experiments. or Wickson of the university, who is familiar with this country, also explained_many of its wonderful possi- bilities. The visitors spent the entire day ipon the boat. They were accompanied | ¢ J. A.

STRAUSS Former San Jose Attorney Charged | With Perjury by W. S. Allen. SAN JOSE, July 13.—A warrant was sworn to before Justice Wallace to-day | charging Leon M. Strauss, until re-| cently an attorney in this city, with perjury. The.complainant is Waldo S. Allen, who had some business dealings | with Strauss. During the month of January Sylvia Allen, wife of the com- | plainant, filed a suit for divorce from | her husband and engaged Strauss as | her attorney. The differences were | patched up and the suit dismissed, Allen agreeing to turn over his prop- erty ani money amounting to about $1100. The transferring of this was left to | Strauss, and it is alleged that when account was $400 short. Strauss’ ex- | planation was that he took the money | as a fee, and Allen and wife were in | luck that he did not take $500. Strauss | was subsequently sued by the Allens for $299. On supplementary proceed- ings he declared under odth that he had | no money or property due him. Allen | afterward unearthed a receipt given by | Strauss for some $60 that was due him at that time. Strauss is now in San Francisco, where it is sald he is taking minor parts on the stage at the Alca- zar. A warrant for his arrest was for- warded there. MRS.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELL- INGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, | July 13.—It is altogether probable that | the next annual report of the Internal | Revenue Bureau will recommend a | number of changes in the war revenue act. The internal revenue officials are of the opinion that the law might prop- | erly be extended in certain directions without becoming at all burdensome to the public, and in a way to produce considerable revenue. One of the propo- | | sitions now under consideration is to | | assess a tax on the sale or renta! of all | | patent protected articles. In speaking | of the matter to-day, one of the officials spoke of the telephone companies in this connection, and at the same time said that thére were many inventions producing an enormous profit which | could well stand a revenue tax. | It probably will be suggested to Con- i gress that express and telegraph com- | panies doing a money exchange busi- | ness be required to pay an annual tax for the privileges. Although taxes are now paid on receipts and telegrams re- | | spectively, it is pointed out that bank- | ers are required to pay a yearly tax of $50, which is regarded as a discrimi nation against them. It is probable . that each express and telegraph office in towns having over a certain popula- tion, if the views of the treasury offi- cials are approved by Congress, will be | required to pay a certain yearly tax for the privilege of doing an exchange business. It is also likely that a modi- fication of the law with respect to mu- tual Insurance companies may be raised. In the present act there is con- siderable obscurity with respect to the provisions as to these companies, both fire and life. It is pointed out, that a number of the leading companies in the country are operated upon the mutual plan. Some of these are paying the tax without protest, but there is doubt as to their liability in this respect. It is believed, however, that Congress clear- |1y intendeq to make the exemption ap- | i ply to local companies doing a strictly | | local business, without surplus or un- | | divided profits or money at their com- ! mand with which to pay large salaries to their officers. Section 20 of the war revenue act, defining what should be taxed under Schetiule B, has been a source of much trouble to the Internal Revenue offi- cers. For instance, the whole group of coal tar extracts have.been decided by the courts to be not subject to the tax. A pound of phenacetine costs in Can- ada, it 1s said, from 12 to 15 cents and yet in the United States the price is | uniformly a dollar a pound. This drug, | | it is thought, could well stand a heavy ! | tax. | There are several items in the old | internal revenue laws which it is be-!| lieved should be eliminated or modified. | and it is not improbable that Congress will be asked to appoint an expert com- | mission to thoroughly go over the! ground and recommend such changes in detail as experience has shown to be | necessary. Under the present law spir- its can only be sold in nackages of cer- | tain specific capacity. The Canadian Government, it is said, takes advantage of this restriction and prohibits the im- portation into that country of spirits except in packages of an unusual size. The result is that American distillers are compelled to ask authority to ship their goods in packages to comply with the Canadian requirements, thus de- stroying all marks and other evidences of age that are of value to them. FATHER LAGAN HONORED. Given a Reception and Presented With a Handsome Purse. SAN RAFAEL, July 13.—The promo- tion of Rev. Hugh Lagan to the pas- torate of the Sacred Heart parish was made the occasion of a public reception at the Hall Rafael last night, where the popular priest was given an ovation by a large concourse of people, irrespective of sect or creed. The hall was deco- rated with American flags and the stage embowered in evergreens. Dr. W. J. Wickman officiated as chairman and on the platform were seated the following persons, of whom the first eight formed the committee signing the resolutions: James H. Wil- kins, A. W. Foster, Judge F. M. Angel- lotti, E. W. McCarthy, Richard Kin- sella, William Caesar, Christopher Chrisholm, Dr. Wickman, Charles Bogan, Rev. Father Lagap, John F. Boyd, Judge M. C. Dufficy, J. J. Crow- ley, Rev. Fathers Egan, Sheehy and Valentine, E. B. Martinelli and William Barr. Ex-Mayor E. W. McCarthy spoke in high terms of Father Lagan's work among the unfortunates at San Quentin | Prison, and in conclusion presented him with a draft for $800, which sum was raised by popular subscription. He was asked to accept it not as a gift, but as | a material token of the unbounded es- | teem in which he is held. With tears showing in his eyes and a voice husky with emotion Father | Lagan then arose amid deafening ap- | plause and thanked the citizens for his reception. He said the seventeen years | spent here were the happiest of his life and that he had obeyed the call of | Archbishop Riordan only after several days’ consideration. He intended to re- turn and greet his friends at every op- portunity and declared that their hap- piness and prosperity should be the greatest happiness of his life. RSV BULLY HILL MINES SOLD.

GADSS NEGLIGENCE AT THE ASTLUM Cooper Had Keys to the Female Wards. e IMPORTANT REPORTS MISSING o NO FINDING MADE BY THE LUNACY COMMISSION. e Seiis : Frank Logue Explains the Charges Made Against Him in a Satisfactory Man- ner. CoET e Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, July 13.—The State Lun- acy Commission completed its investi- gation into Mrs. Chaffers’ condition at Agnews Asylum this afternoon and ad- journed subject to the call of Governor Gage. No finding was reached. The testimony to-day was along the same lings as that of yesterday. It fixed the responsibility on Cooper. As far as the Chaffers matter was concerned the investigation was thorcugh and eomplete. There were practically no new developments. It was shown, however, that the asylum has been conducted in a lax manner. Cooper had kéys to the female wards and the daily reports at the in- stitution had been laid round pro- miscuously. Some of these, of about the time the offense v committed, were missing. Rose Ryan, an attend- | ant in ward D, was the first witness. She saw Cooper assist Mrs. Chaffers out of a basement window. Patients had told her they aisc saw Cooper pass out other patients. Witness had seen Cooper standing in the basement win- dow talking to patients. Supervisor H. A. Braden had on sev- eral occasions found keys to the female ward on Cooper. Those keys belonged to Underwood, the basement man, un- der whose direction Cooper worked. He had also found Cooper on the stairway leading to the female ward. Walter H. Davis, third assistant cook, testified that Cooper frequently boasted ta him of his conques Cooper_ had intimated that he was responsible for Mrs. Chaffers’ condition and under obli- gations to marry her, but their condi- tions would not allow such a thing. Frank Logue, the fuél man, produced a letter he had received accusing him of having been in a compromising posi- tion with Mrs. Chaffers. The letter was anonymous. He denied this charge and his explanation was accepted. It afterward develoned that Cooper had written the letter because of an imaginary jealou againgt Logue. Matron Bambauer was recalled and questioned regarding some missing re- ports. After the investigation had ad- ourned the reports were found. Medi- al Director Sponogle and Dr. Christal were further examined. Much contra- | dictory evidence was elicited as to when the offense was reported to Sponogle. Elijuhe Cooper was the last witness examined. He is a patient at the insti- tution and about 60 years of age: He said he had seen Logue with Mrs. Chaf- fers on various occasions. He denied the charges made against him and as- serted his innocence. This completed the investigation. A short executive session was held and it was decided to close the testi- mony. An adjournment wis then taken | subject to the call of the Ggvernor. All the officials in attendance at the investigation left for San Francisco on the evening train.
