DREYFUS CASE
Begun io Coilrt Ytster
■ day Afternoon.
MRS. DREYFUS PRESENT.
Exhaustive Review Was Made
by Reporter Bard.
Paris, Oct. 28—Tke court of
cassation, which is to decide on
the question of reopening the
case of Dreyfus, the prisoner of
Devil’s island, who is alleged to
have been falsely convicted of
selling important military plans
to agents of a foreign power,
opened yesterday.
Tl e hall was filled with peo
ple, but there was no demonstra
tion around the place of justice
the gates of which were closed,’
5,8 a matter of precaution, only
ticket holders being admitted.
The few spectatois about the
palate were kept moving by the
police, and inside the building
nuuciptd guards were stationed
iu all the corridors leading to
the courtroom.
M. Labori, who was counsel
lor M Zo a during the latter’s
hmous trial, was seated among
the lawyers, occupying the fire,
row. Midbine Dreyfus, wife of
the prisoner, was provided with
* seat in a corner. She was rep-
Teiented by Maitre Monard.
Tue case was called imme
dmtely after the opening of the
court. Reporter Bard opened the
proctecings I y referring to the
txeikinent and scandals caused
by the case, even before the ap
peal for a revision of the trial
was lodged. He then reviewed
the history of Qhe case from the
arrest of Dreyfus and said bis
condemnation was for one of the
crimes which inspire universal
horror and it struck one of these
iu whom the country had the
most confidence
Continuing, M. Bard spoke of
tha efforts made to obtain a re
vision of the case, referred to
the denunciation of Major Ester
bazy and reviewed Madame
fus’s appeal for revision. In
bo doing M. Bard said this ap
peal was based on the assump
tion that .he bordereau was writ
ten by Major Esterhazy.
He then pointed out that there
' va ® suspicious facts which jus
tly the request for the revision.
Madame Dreyfus contending
that her husband did not write
the bordeier.u which the experts
he did write The court,
therefore, would have to exam
ioo these facts and decide wheth
•r a revision is justified.
M. Bard added that the ap-
P e »‘ for a revision was decided
in consequence of the late
ieut.Co]. Henri’s confession,
1 lat he had forged a document
ln the case; but M. Bard ©aid
tha, forgery was committed in
and could not alone be re-
K* r ded as ground for a revision
01 for an annullment of the
Judgement rendered in 1894.
Rutwithsanding the fact, M.
Il( i said that Lieut.-Col. Henri
“d ceinmitted for.ery, his ©vi

THE ROME tWSTLEii-COivUwhßuiAL
Canyon City, Ore., Oct. 28
A young man who was a mem
ber of the sheriff’! posse has just
returned here with a report of a
desperate fight which occurred
between the whites and a rene
gade band of Indians.
The nineteen white men and
five buck warriors were about
forty feet apart.whan the battle
began. George Cuttings received
a ball through the lungs and
died shortly afterward.
One of the Indiana who was
shot and killed fought with des
perate courage. After being re
peatedly hit he continued firing
with his rifle until it was empty,
then fired bis revolver until the
muzzle dropped so that the bul
lets struck the ground near the'
redskin’s side. The posse final
ly killed all of thejlndiane after
a running battle.
Settlers who had been sent to
Canyon City for more ammuni
tion state that the Indians are
gathering around Izee, near the
•icene of the trouble, in large
numbers. The trouble arose over
ihe Indians accusing the whites
of stealing horses.

sumption of conscience, based
upon fresh facts which led to tha
appeal for a revision of the case
and there were also grounds to
nsk whether another new fact
has not been brought to light
and if Dreyfus was really the
author cf the bordereau and note
written to Major Esterhazy, and
found in the apartnaeat cf
Madame Pays, in which th©
writer asked what he should do
respecting the bordereau.
M. Bard next read C®l. Paty
du Clam’s report of the arrest
of Dreyfus, then a.* captain of
French artillery doing staff duty,
which th© colonel said that Drey
fus, while writing his dictation,
“betrayed intense excitement.
But M. Bard added amid the
surprise of hie hearers, “ The
photograph taken of this writing
does not give the slightest indi
cation that Dreyiui was laboring
under excitement ”
Dreyfus, M. Bard also said,
dinied to Cel- Paty du Clam that
that b© even had relations, di
rectly or indirectly, with foreign
powers.

SPANIARDS YIELD
Gobs Abandon The Effort To
Baddk The Cuban Debt
UPON UNITED STATES
They Relinquish Sovorelqnf
Over th© Island.
■ < Par a, Oct. 28.—Tha Spanish
* peace o<_ mmissioner© have acoept
t »d the negative view of the United
, Stab© oommisai mers towards the
I proposed assumption by th© Uni*
ted States of the Cuban debt.
The American commissioners
have firmly but courteously de
caned to assume far ths United
states the entire or joiut rssponsi-
* bility for the Spanish financial
condition, and the Spanish com
- missioiiers have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that
> the Cuban article of the protocol
shall, without condition, have a
- place iu the ultimate treaty of
, peace.
It was not until Monday that
they became absolutely convinced
that the Americans had from lb©
♦ outset of their refusal to acc©pt
the Cuban debt meant exactly
vhat they said.
In spite of the fact that th©
Spanish commissioners had, as a
background of their eft©rts, doubts
• of such euc ing, their hope of s©
i doing has been so keen and their
i contention has Lean so vigorously
, prosecuted that the final convr©-
. lion of their inability to win their
point brought to the Spaniard
-ticla a shock and depression that,
consistently with these dispatches
at the time, there were grave
doubts as to the coutinuance of
the negotiations.
Ln support ©f these stat»meats
is the fact that Senor Montero Rios
after Monday's session and on
Tuesday last would have resign'd
the presidency of the Spanish
ptaee commission had bo not be
lieved that his to doing may have
grievously shaken, even if it nad
not unseated B©nor Sagasta’sgav
ernment.
From this ©tandpoiut, if hr n©
other reason, Senor Monters Rios
retained hia position, and at yes
terday’s session, acting order the
conviction arrived at on Monday,
the Spaniards announced that
they would forego farther argu
ment on the Cub*n debt and
agreed that practically in the terms
and absolutely in the spirit of the
protocol the article abeut Cuba
should go forward into th© final l
reaty. ,
Thus Spaio agre©s to reliaquish
soversignV over and claim to Cu
ba without either terms or condi
tions.
