Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gordon Bennett. RENNES, Aug. 23.—The gang of conspirators, with General Roget at their head, are already, I am informed, preparing a way to retreat if M Bertillon, their last hope, does not succeed in making upon the Judges the tmpression they hope he will make and if,the technical examination of the borderau by Major Hartmann proves favorable to the prisoner. In that case Roget and his following would, in order to prevent the acquittal of Dreyfus, fall back upon a new stem, in which the author- ship of the borderau would be attributed to Esterhazy. An accusation of complicity between Dreyfus and a certain W—, who was, as 2 matter of fact, a friend of Esterhazy and a friend of the Dreyfus family, would be trumped up. Dreyfus would be charged with having imprudently eonfided secret infor- mation to W—, who repeated it to Esterhazy, who in his turn sold it to a foreign power. Under t scheme Dreyfus’ guilt would be simply that of espionage, not of high treason. He wpuld be found guilty, but sentenced only to & term of imprisonment of from one to five vears and at once released, as having served that term on the Isle du Diable. And thus the honor of the army would be satisfied and the conscience of the Judges would be easy. This rumor will perhaps strike the reader as pure romance, but I repeat that it is circulating in very well informed circles, An air of probability, moreover, is given to it by the concordant depositions of Mercier, Cavaignac and Zurlinden. All of them were as one in saying that even if Esterhazy had written the bordereau’ Dreyfus would still be the really guilty onein their eyes. These declarations caused surprise when they were made.

General Castillo, | Civil Governor of Santiago de Cuba, was at Ceuvitas at the time and soon restored order. There is no doubt that the inaccurate | list will cause a great deal of hard- | ship.
