Says a Dutch Cook Who Was There Recently. What may be reliable news of Captain Alfred Dreyfus and his life on Devil’s Island is given in the London Telegraph, which says: The story is that a Dutch vessel s.owly passing near the ex cap tain’s place of captivity was boarded by some French marines or penitentiary officials, who ask ed for the loan es the ship’s cook fora few hours. The reason given was that the man who did the cooking in the convict se'tlement hid broken his arm and was in the ho-pital. The captain of the Dutch .steamer accordingly sent a stilor named Weiuheber to Devil’s tslai.d to act as cook fcr a while. During his very brief sojourn on the island Weiuheber is said to aave seen Dreyfus and to have had an.oppor unity of observing b<>w the ex-captain was treated. According to the Dutchman the prisoner rose every morning be tween 6 and 7 o’clock, had a cup of chocolate, a b.itb,aDd, if the weather permitted, a walk. While taking the bath the prisoner’s wrists were tied around with a cord one end of which were held by a warder. L'his was to prevent any attempt to commit ■ suicide. /After the bath the ex-captain breakfasted on bread and butter, an egg and 1 bottle of beer. This meal being iver he read books on military topics and wrote letters and his memoirs, the epistles always bo ing sent to friends through the Military Governor of Cayenne. Dreyfus is also allowed to play cards with his warders, but not for money, as he is not allowed to retain possession of a sou. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the prisoner receives bread, roast meat, ■» vegetables, desert and beer. At 6 in the evening he has a supper of cold ham, with more bread and beer. Weiuheber being allowed to draw near the prisoner, Dreyfus shook him by the hand and said: “Greet the oufside world for me when you return to it. Ihe Dutchman further states that the ex-captain is not in an iron cage, but has the whole range of the island under the eyes of the warders .

TO INVADE BPBI|t flnil Bombard Spanish Ports Should Camera GOTO TfiE PHILIPPINES Dewey Calculated to Take care of Himself- Wash’ngton, June 25 —The war is to be carried into Africa, meta phoncal'y speaking, that is if Spain is foolhardy enough to send the Cadiz fleet through the Suez canal to attack Dewey in the Phil ippines. It is announced on good au'bor ity that before th« last Spanish vessel has passed through the canal, an A nerican squadron will be steaming at full speed across the Atlantic,straight toward Spain to bring the war home to the Spanish people. There i■< no doubt that Dewey can take care of himself against the Cadiz fleet, «ince his own squadron will be reinforced long before Camara’s ships sight the Bay of Manila, and he will have the shore batteries with him in stead of against him in the strug gle. But it has been concluded by the administration that nothing save the most severe measures will suffice to bring the Spanish people to a realizing sense of the hope leness of a continuance of the present war, and even kinkness, it is held, with dictate such a Flow as it is proposed to administer if the Spaniards persist in this last project. After the fall of Santiago and the capture or das: ruction of I Cervera’s sqii* Iron. Sampson will nave an abundence of vessels to spare for the task set for him. Probably he will conititute the attacking Meet in two squadrons, th-i first a flying sqnadsron, to be compos id of the swiftest vesse's of the fleet, such as the Columba. Minneapolis, Harvard, Yale, St. Louis, St. Paul. New Orleans, and such craft. This will he followed, under another commander, ei her Samp son or Schley, by the battleships, which Capt. Clark’s experience wi’h the Oregon has shown can easily be counted on for the voy age across the Atlantic. With the Oregon, Indiana,.
