COL HENHY SUICIDES, _ r _ M . -—«“• tonf»B»ed ForSSry in tho Dr»/’ fuaC ••• 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 •be papers which have been •unporting the proposition to ’■eopen the case are jubilant.

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. FIGHTING IN THE SOUDAN Bat'lb Supposed To Be In Pro gress Near Omduran.
