Parti, S»p». I.—Lieutenant
Colonel Henry, who bad been
arrerted on* the diecovory that
he wai the author of an irapor
tautlentr which figured ia the
Dreyfus case, has committed
suicide. He cut hie throat with
a razor which he had concealed
in hie vahse.
Appears that so soon as M.
Caraignac assumed the office of
minister fur war he charged the
official bureau to make a thor
ough research of the Dreyfus
ease, and it was this inquiry
Which resulted in the discovery
of documents lately read io the
chamber of deputies by M. Cav
siguac, slowing that proof us
gUL I of Dr yfus was forged.
When Col. Henry was #um
nosed to the ministry of war
and questioned by M. Cavaignac
in the presence- of Gen. Boise*
deffrssnd otixaw, be JU first
affirwed tho authenticity of the i
iuLTimiusing document.
But when docrepaucies were
pointed out he at first admitted
adding sentences and finally
confessed to fabricating the
whole letter. It ia*ffii «aed,how*
eve’’, that while this discovery
has not changed M. Cavaigaac’s
baiief in culpability of Dreyfus,
the minister is determined to
punish all tho guilty pn ’ties, no
matter what their rank or posi
tion may be.
Col. Henry confessed to hav
ing committed forgery, owing
to the absolute necessity for
finding proofs against Dreyfus.
It is understood that the docu
ment iu question io the letter
which hitherto has been alleged
to have been written by the
German military attache to the
Lali*a military attache in Oc
tober, 1596.
It is also said that when the
interpolation in the Dreyfus
ease was coming up in the cham
ber of deputies, this letter was
secretly communicated to the
courtmartial and was the chief
evidence w upon which Dreyfus
was convicted.
lhe anti-Drev ius papers are
dumbfounded al the turn of
events, while, on the other hand

Camp Wikoff, Montauk' Point,
Sept. I.—The sta‘oinents made
by Gen. Joe Wheeler, Secretary
of War Alger, and Comm’ssiry
General Eagan placed the public
in a position to judge who was
responsible for the disgraceful
state of affairs iu this camp.
But there must be an onfficial
placing of the responsibility,
Gonera ; Wheeler has begun an
investigation for that purpose.
He is determined to s s( \ from
the opposing statements of the
intei ested parties the truth
about the lack of lumber and.
medicines which has brought
the camp into disfavor with the
entire country.
Gen Wheeler 'a a,poi 1
Major Genera’ A—. s to find out
just who is responsible for the
mismanagement of the camip
Secretary A’ger has practically
said that Wueeler is responsible.
3eu. Wheeler has done more
than any one man to svsttma
tiae matters, here. Army ofli—
cers are of the opinion that Gis
for selfprotection against Alger’s
insinuations that Gen. Wueeler
has ordered Gen. Ames to probe
for the real cause of the irregu
larities It is a fact that the mal
administration of the camp was
well under way before General
Wheeler got here, and is due to
the minor officers connected
with the camp.
Gen Wheeler does not propose
to be made a scrapegoat of by
anyone, and especially not by
she Secretary of War. The start
ing of this investigation has been
done with Gen Wheeler's ch*'r
a'-lei istic energy and push.
Gen. Ames has already had
some of the leading officials of
Camp Wikoff before him, but he
rebases today to even admit that
fact, and names were declined.
It is believer that the investiga
tion will even reach as far as
Santiago, why the men were;
smt so fast, the well ahead of
vhe sick and the whole mana e-
? A
ment of the transports.
Uen. Ames was one of the
men who signed the round rob
in in Santiago' urging that the
troops be mdvstt’ from that cli
mate at once. He recommended
that the sick men be sent first,
that they be not allowed to lie
there and rot while the well were
being put on transports.
Gen. Ames has been sat on for
this and for other recommenda
tions he made, which are now
matters of history.
