I Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 24. —
I Friend* of William Heeg re-
I ceived word from him yesterday
that be had been conscripted
into the German army to serve
for six years in spite of the Tact
that he l>ad declared his inten
tion of be r orning an American
c *jtiz tj He is a relative of the
ff3alt hy Hellman family of this
City, « lio will petition the state
department to intervene.
Jleeg h'lt here in March to
make a bri f visit to th Fath
land which he left when he was
18. He received word from his
father who lived in Hossbacht,
near Franken, Bavari i, that he
(the son) must return homo or
all the property of the father
w old be confiscated.
One of th® laws of that mili
tary land ia that a youth cannot
leave his country after he is 17
years old unless he has served a
t rm in the German army. How
ever, a bond can be furnished
which will allow him to leave
thecountry. but he must return
within the time allotted or the
bondsman’s property will be
confiscated.
Al the time Heeg left Bavaria
bis father was burgomaster of
the town. He went bond for the
son and the tune having expired
he wrete for the boy to return
If he could put in an appearance
an 1 for a length of time could
fight shy of the military officials,
his father’s property would be
safe and lie might escape across
the water. The only point to be
mads clear was the fact that he
was back in the country again.
Heeg crossed the water, made
his presence known to the mili
t try authorities, saved his fath
er’s property and then started
the effort f< r his escape from the
country.
His brother was a wine mer
chant and he engaged . im as a
subterfuge. Y< ung Heeg, armed

The exact cause of the explosion
will never be known, as all the
men in the pacing house at the
time were blown to atoms.
'Something like 10,000 pounds
of powder was usually kept in
, the packing house.
During the day men were en
gaged with buckets gathering
up such bits of flesh and bones
as they could find. A piece of
spinal column was found a mile
from the scene of the explosion.
Those who were injured were
employedin another building.
They were struck by flying deb

injured. There is always some
loose powder on the floor of the

that something was dropped up
on it that caused it to explo ’e.

THE SECRET tLUMENTf
Cause a Sensation In Paris
Last Nigh t
Par's, Nov. 24 —A s nsation
was caused here h> . t night by an
apparently wtll-an In nticated re.
port regarding th ■ secret docu
ment in the Dreyfus case—the one
•upon which so much stresi waa
laid by Cavaigm ; and other War
Ministers as provni:! the guilt of
the unfortunate man.
It is declared that this docu
ment was a letter from Baron
Freedcrickrz, th.' fl i-sian Military
Attache here, da: ■ Berlin and
I
addressed to the ! cb military
authorities, statii be tniilo.J
;ai the Paris I > <■ Depar -

Staff was a certai Dieyfu*, ca, ■*
tain cf artillery.
This letter, it alleged, was
privately ibown iiiceri of
Driyfus courtn . iai and was
mainly instrum n ,i in procuring
the condemnation.
It has since r named in the
archives of the F e.nch Ministry,
but subsequent!) I < eederidkiz is
said to have aice ined that he
had been grossly cc.ved, doubt
less by on® of the gents of Ester

Mme. Dreyfus, d is claimed, is
now in possession of a Utter from
Freedericksz in w 1 icb he frankly
admits his error, il,was ihe ex
istence of this it <r. it is said
which largely influenced the Court

that Dieyfus sboul 1 be requested
by cable to prepit. his defense.
The reason giv< n for ti e with

is good for no other. It is the discovery of
Dr. R. V. Pierce, for tlility years chief con
