Department, but the. .ssociated Press announcement occasioned no surprise, for the move Is looked on as ore of the natural tteps in General Otis' s carefully laid plans against the Insurgents. Santa Cruz is a place of much importance In several respects. It la tho capital of the province of I,aguna and has a population, according to the best available Information here, of considerably more than 13.Cn). It 1 regarded as likely that General Lawton already has gained possession of this little stronghold, for It is but a short Journey over the Bay Itgocn, a fresh water sea which comes almost up to Manila itself, which Is fortytight miles away from Santa Cruz. The details of the dispatch show General Iwton, by essaying the formation of squads of twelve men each, will make a thorough reconnolsance of the ground befort making a definite attack on the city. It Is felt here that there will be only a show of resistance by natives and whether they actually surrender the town or abandon It to the touthward the campaign against the place will serve as an object lesson of the determined policy of our for.ees in the Islands. Santa Cruz la apparently an opening -wedge for the country beyond. From It lead highways in all directions, to Manila by going around the shores of Hay Lagoon, and to the Important point of Batangas and the well-advanced province of Tayabas, whose capital city is located ninety-one miles from Manila. General Eawton, however, may not contemplate any material advance beyond Santa Cruz at this time, as the region to the south is a very broken country, covered with mountains and tho rainy season Is coming on, ho that his purpose may be merely to gain an advantageous position for the future. Troop Infit for Service. Correspondence of the Associated Press. ON BOARD TUB UNITED STATES ARMY TRANSPORT GRANT, Singapore, March 4. The officers of the detachment of troops which the Grant Li hurrying to reinforce the American army at Manila make no secret of the fact that their men are not fit for Immediate service. Hardly 23 per cent, of the Fourth Infantry and the battalion of the Seventh on board the Grant are veterans. The others aro recruits, all of whom were enlisted within two months of sailing from New York, and some of whom wero taken in during the last day or two. Their drill ha been limited to what the small deck spue of a crowded transport will allow, and during the first month of tho voyage it amounted to little more than ettintr up" exercises. Save for tho recurrence of Cuban fever, which frequently attacks even veterans, the physical condition of the troops Is excellent. Atrnlnuldo Orders Spanish Spoken. MADRID. April 9. The following dispatch from Manila Is published here: "Agulnaldo ha.s issued a decree directing that Spanish ehall be the official language throughout the archipelago and protesting against the American pretension to force the use of iinglish on the natives, who do not know it."

DREYFUS NOT GUILTY

CSTKRIIAZY ADMITTED IS LOXDOX lie wkotc Tin: bordereau. Pari FIgrnro Continue to Publish Proceeding of the Court of Cusatlon Forelen ev. LONDON. April 9.-The Observer this morning states that Comte Esterhazy voluntarily told the proprietress of that paper last autumn that he wrote the bordereau under orders from General Officer Sandherr. On subsequent occasions, the Observer says, he repeated this, declaring "Je lai fait." and added that Dreyfus did not write the bordereau. On the same occasion Esterhazy said the bordereau produced was a tracing from the original document, and that some indistinct words had been retraced by another hand. Tin: FifiAito's i:xrosE. Paris Paper Continue- Giving; Secret Evidence in Dreyfus Cuse. PARIS, April 9. The Figaro, continuing Its publication of the evidence before tho Court of Cassation In the Dreyfus case, prints tho testimony of General Mcrcler, former minister of war, and of General Bilot. who formerly held the same portfolio. Tho latter said that the War Offlce received in April, im. from a person Indicated by M. Cavalgnac, a document containing the word., "Cette Canaille de d and a letter showing a leakage from tho Ministry and stating that plans of the fortification at Nice had been given to a foreign power. Soon afterward other in formation was received, showing that the traitor was in the second bureau. The bordereau received in Setpember enabled tho authorities to commence an investigation. The bordereau was given to Colonel Henry, who showed it to General Sandherr, General Gonse and General De Boisdeffre, and lastly to General Mercler. Tho resemblance in tho writing to that of Dreyfus was striking. General Mercier informed tho President and M. Dupuy, who approved of the Investigation. M. Gobert, the expert charged with the examination, first thought there was a resemblance between the writing in tho bordereau and that of Dreyfus, and asked, the name of the author of the bordereau. When thid was refused M. Gobert declined to make a report, and tho document was then shown to M. Bertillon, who pronounced the handwritings the same. General Boisdeffre then selected Major Du Paty de Clam to make the preliminary Investigation, which led to the arrest of Dreyfus. He questioned Dreyfus, who admitted the resemblance, saying, "They've stolen my handwriting." On another occasion he said, referring to two foreign military attaches: "Ah, I would like to plunge my poignard into their throats." General Mercier refused to answer questions concerning the communication of the secret documents to the court-martial, saying that the revision proceedings were limited to Colonel Henry's forgery and the opinions of experts, who declared that it was Impossible that Esterhazy could have been the author of the bordereau, as he could not have obtained all the documents. On other points General Mercler's testimony was practically the same as that given by General Roget. General Bitot's testimony was mainly of a negative character and does not contain any new facts. The testimony of General Billot, former minister of war, before the Court of Cassa tion in the Dreyfus case, as published in the Figaro, was mainly of a negative character, and did not contain any new facts except the assertion that tho brothers of Dreyfus told General Sandherr on Dec 13, 1S94, that they were ready to offer their whole fortune for the discovery of tho real culprit. This was the beginning of the Dreyfus campaign taken up by Colonel Piequart. Continuing Its publication of the evidence given before the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus case, tho Figaro gives to-day the depositions of General Zurllnden, military governor of Paris, and General Chanoine, former minister of war. General Zurllnden deposed that when he entered the Cabinet last autumn he knew nothing of the Dreyfus affair, but the suicide of Lieutenant Colonel Henry provoked him to study tho dossier, which convinced him that Dreyfus was Justly condemned. The secret documents in the dossier proved, he declared, that the traitor belonged to the general staff. There was no malice In the designation of the culprit, and. therefore, the legend of the "entrapped Jew" must be set aside. Gen. Zurllnden proceeded to show by technical details that the particulars indicated in tho bordereau were highly important to a foreign nation. With reference to the phrase 'I am going to the maneuvers' in the bordereat he said that the military students were wont to attend the maneuvers, but on, Aug. 27, tho day to which the phrase in tho bordereau referred, they did not attend. This fact, he said, he regarded as having great bearing on the discovery of tho author of the bordereau. Proof of the culpability of Dreyfus, he insisted, existed outside the depositions of Lieutenant Colonel Henry and Colonel Du Paty de Clam, and he appealed to tho court to reject revision, which, ho said, ho would have demanded himself in the name of the army If he had had or did have the slightest doubt of the guilt of Dreyfus. He knew nothing, he asserted, of the relations between Comte Esterhazy, Lieutenant Colonel Henry and Col. Sandhelr or of the communication of secret documents to the court-martial In 1S94, nor had ho any knowledge respecting the cortectness of such rumors. In concluding his evidence he remarked that the whole army wished tho fullest light to be thrown on the affair. General Chanoine testltled that he had examined all the dossiers placed at his disposal and that these in his judgment established tho culpability of Dreyfus. He also deposed that he had spoken on the subject with many persons who were acquainted with tho circumstances of the trial In Isii. Premier Dupuy for tlie Army. PARIS, April 9. Premier Dupuy, in the courso of an important speech to hJs constituents to-day at Lepuy, capital cf tho Department of Haute-Loire, said that the situation both at home and abroad was eminently satisfactory. "The spontaneous election of a stalwart and worthy Republican as President of tre republic," he continued, "proves tho stability and vitality of the republic and has disconcerted the factions who defamed the chimerical plebiscites and futile restorations." He referred approvingly to the recent agreements with Italy and Great Rritain and said that France was "now free for industrial and commercial development and a large Held of colonizing." Reverting to home affairs, he said: "The agitations are only on the surface. Reneath are calm industry and security. The end of the Dreyfus affair appears to be in iMght, and the complication will be unraveled by the Court of Cassation, whose judgment will be acknowledged by all. The government, however, attaches importance to reiterating Its determination to repress all polemics which call the national army In question. As soon as the Court of Cassation has given judgment the government will take the necessary measures to determine rcspontibilitifs and will act accordingly, If that should be necessary, but those acts and the punishment of individual faults will not affect the army, which Is our hope for tho future and the indispensable guardian of tho constitution and the law. If cer

I

tain people think otherwise, let us leave them to their despicable folly and, for oursel.es, continue to look toward the army, full of gratitude and confidence." TARTAR tPRISI.XG THREATENED. Fanatlenl Prlent Olaklnpr Trouble for Russia in Knsan Province. LONDON. April 10. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph say?: "A very serious situation which has recently developed in the province of Kasan, in southeastern Russia, a territory inhabited principally by Tartars, i3 likely to result In a general uprising. Famine and typhus that have long been devastating the Volga territory created such terrible havoc in that province that the government was compelled to send aid and food with a sanitary agent. Unfortunately rumors were circulated with tho assistance of fanatical priests that the representatives of the government really wanted to convert the Mahommedans. A genuine religious panic ensued and the government agents everywhere met With a hostile reception, being stoned and otherwise maltreated so that it became impossible to distribute the aid sent. The government Is now endeavoring to reassure the misguided Tartars. The government of Kasan, which Is traversed by the Volga and the Kama, has a population of 1,7)0,0j0 souls. During the sway of the Tartars of the Golden Horde the province was included with the present Russian governments of Viatka, Perm, Simbeersk and Penza, In the kingdom of Kasan. It was originally peopled by Finns, who were vanquished by the Tartars in 15T,2.

Bokhara and southern Russia, destroyed the Tartar power and annexed the territory to Russia. CutholicM HurnliiK Protestant Cliapeln. LONDON. April 10.

Eighteen members of the regiment of Massachusetts volunteers, which arrived here to-day from the West Indies, came as prisoners and were turned over to the commandant at Fort Warren to serve out terms of imprisonment for violations of mutiny law or dissipation.

SUICIDE OF SULLIVAN. Well-Knovtn Boston Politician Shoots Himself Through the Head. BOSTON, April 9. John H. Sullivan, a former member of the Governor's executive council and one of the most prominent politicians in the city, committed suicide to-day. It was first given out that he had dropped dead, but later it developed that Sullivan killed himself by shooting through the head. Two causes are assigned, one that he was despondent from illness and the other that he had large financial losses. MANY CALL, RUT FEW C1IOSEX. Senator llannn Sometimes Has -00 Callers a Day. Ruth Kimball Gardiner, in Washington Star. The most overworked piece of mechanism In all Washington is Senator Hanna's door bell. Scarcely a day passes that it is not set ringing at least 150 times, and often and again, between breakfast and bedtime. It announces the arrival of the two hundredth caller. No man In Washington, except the President, receives as many callers. Senator Hanna's abiding place in Washington is the Arlington Hotel, and his rooms are on the ground floor of an annex which was once a private house. A colored man in the livery of the hotel is appointed to guard the street door, and of the ten score callers whose cards he receives every day not more than fifty or seventy-five succeed in obtaining an audience. Many call, but few are chosen. To give heed to the speech of even fifty persons In one day, however. Is no small thing. Only a man trained as Senator Hanna has been from boyhood in business methods and endowed with a remarkable executive ability could accomplish it. Senator Hanna Is a business man, first, last and always. He Is politic in business, business-like in politics. He exacts business methods from all with whom he comes in contact. With none of his callers dots he waste either time or words. Nothing pieasts him more than a direct, concise and to-the-point staVment of a case, but his official, political face is the face of a sphinx. Not a line nor a muscle of it ever betrays what he is thinking, nor an expression ever tells whether he is pleased or displeased. He is an unerring judge of men. and when he thinks a man worthy of confidence he is unreservedly communicative, but with his average caller he is as unresponsive as a graven Image. Although he accomplishes a great deal In a day, Senator Hanna is not a methodical man. He has no fixed plan of daily life. He is not an early riser. He breakfasts at 9 o'clock, and breakfast Is to him the chief meal of the day, for he says that he does not feel that the day is properly begun unless he has breakfasted well. His morning meal Is a hearty one and soft boiled eggs are an Invariable item on his bill of fare. He has always been blessed with a fair appetite, and although by no means an epicure, he is fond of good living. He likes sweets. Coffee he drinks sparingly, and in regard to alcoholic liquors he Is exceedingly abstemious. He is very fond of a good cigar, but smokes only moderately. immediately after breakfast he returns to his reception room, and callers are admitted. Some of them are the characteristic office seekers of the capital.' Some of them come to him on matters connected with the national Republican committee, of which he has been chairman since lSt'6. Some of them call because they fancy that to have the ear of the Ohio senator Is to have the ear of the man in the White House, a long stone's throw across th3 park. Some of them have business with him which concerns some of the almost innumerable commercial enterprises, shipbuilding, lake carrying, banking, railroading, mining: and what not. In which he Is Interested, and some of them come to him for reasons which few who know Mr. Hanna only as a skillful and determined politician ever guess. His friends say that he Is out of the most open handed and

charitable of men and that he never turns a deaf ear to any honest story of suffering. He has been an active member of a number of charitable organizations, and his private charities are carried on without regard to society or creed. At 11:3 he drives to the Capitol. He enjoys thoroughly the part of the day ho spends there. He never makes speeches. Senator Hanna's work In the Senate is done in the committee rooms and not on the floor of the Senate chamber. He makes other men do his talking for him. He prefers to be the power behind the throne. In comparison with Senate orators Sx-nator Hanna is as the engineer, deep in the bowels cf a man-of-war. to the gold laced captain on the bridge. He does not seek for applause, and he cares not a rap for criticism. He knows exactly what he wants, and as he never changes his mind, never loses his nerve and never gives up, he always gains his joint In the end. He reaches home after his day in tho Senate only in time to dine. After dinner he has usually some social engagement, for he is undifguisedly fond of society. He is fond of the theater, and enjoys the lighter operas. for books he has no great liking. In the days when he was not quite so busy he used to read a great many light novels for relaxation. Now he finds time for nothing but the newspapers, of which he reads a great many, and a few of the magazines. He is extremely fond of whist, and plays exceedingly well. For horses he does not care at all. He takes no Interest in outdoor sports. He does not fish nor hunt nor play golf, but does like yachting. Travel is a rest and recreation to him. and the trip he made last year to the Yellowstone delighted him so much that he proposes to repeat it as soon as he can spare the time. Mrs. Hanna says that he has but one hobby, and that is the entertaining of his friends. He likes to be always busy. He is extremely fond of his home. He Is a loyal friend. He Is not sentimental. He is not eloquent. He is not a popular leader. He I a man of tremendous energy and tireless tenacity.

SUICIDE OF A J. SMITH. Drank Cyanide of Potnsslam in Omaha Hotel. OMAHA, Neb., April 9. A. J. Smith, registering at the Millard Hotel from Salt Lake City, committed suicide in his room early this morning by drinking cyanide of potassium. Tho man Was discovered at ,":; o'clock by a hall boy, who saw Smith lying on the bed dressed. Hy his side on a chair was a small bottle of chloroform and a package of cj'anide of potassium, the contents of each partly used. On a II table In tho room were three letters, to the hotel proprietor, inclosing mon. .o pay his bill and containing instruction, for the disposal of his body and effects. The second letter was directed to the Omaha Medical College, bequeathing his body to that ii.stitution. The third letter was a brief one te the chambermaid of the hotel Inclosing a tip of ?1 for taking care of his room. Saturday morning the chief of police received a telegram from W. A. Snyder, of Fort Collins. Col., asking if A. J. Smith had killed himself at one of the hotels. An investigation was made and as such a man could not be found dead, a reply to that effect was returned. Nothing more was heard about the matter until yesterday morning when Smith's death was reported. , WU TING FANG'S IDEA. American Manufacturers Should Give an Exhibition In China. PHILADELPHIA, April 9. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to the United Gtates, to-day visited the commercial museums and was entertained at luncheon, after which he gave his impressions of the project as follows: "The capacity of Philadelphia museums is unlimited. Of course. It is a Yankee idea, but no other nation on the fax?e of the earth has ever hit on such an idea. It is unique and it sets a good example, which must be felt throughout the entire commercial world. The American merchants take much Interest In China, but better results could be obtained If they would establish In our country, say at Shanghai, an emporium where American manufactures would be shown. American trade would be greatly Increased by such action. An interchange of ideas between the two countries would thus be brought about." THE AMERICAN PHIATLn. Gilbert Parker's Experience in Getting Type Set. Robert Barr, in Saturday Evening Post. I hardly know what nationality to assign to Gilbert Parker. He was born, I believe, on shipboard opposite Quebec at the very threshold of the country of which he is rapidly becoming the Sir Walter Scott. Henry Harland was born in St. Petersburg, but is a good American; and, although Clark Russell was born in New York, he is none the less an Englishman; so, perhaps, Gilbert Parker is an Australian, a part of tho world in which he has spent a portion of his life. Parker is a man of Indomitable energy, which, united with brains, makes success Inevitable, His rise lias been rapid and thoroughly well deserved. I got some Insight into his methods by staying a week with him at Mablethorpe, a village on the east coast of England, where the greater part of "The Seats of the Mighty" was written. Although he has a fine suite cf rooms in the St. James quarter of London, he generally takes to the woods when he has an important piece of work on hand. At Mablethorpe he was surrounded by Immense tomes of history In all languages relating to the period with which his romance dealt, for he is not content to write entertainingly, but must have accuracy as well. As an Instance of his energy and resource the following story may serve, liefore he attained his present fame he landed in New York and learned that, through an error about dates, one of his early books had to be set up and printed within three days, otherwise he would lose his American copyright in the volume. It was too Important a matter to intrust to any one else, so he took hold of the crisis with characteristic vim. The manuscript undr his arm, ho visited printing office after printing office, but the big oilices had contracts which couldn't bo set aside and the smaller hrms had not the facilities, so things began to look pretty blue, and as it was a race against time every moment lost in the search was a disaster. He even tried a newspaper offlce or two, for all he wanted was the book put into type, in any shape, as long as he could get proofs, but every newspaper otiice had its own work to do, so the blueness deepened. At last he thought of a huge firm of commercial printers, and as he was about at the end of his tether, he resolved to appeal to the national pride of the manager, lie came iijon a quiet, masterful-looking individual, who sat in a swivel chair, rolling round in his teeth an unlit cigaj. Parker Hung down the manuscript on the dask before him. "Look here," he said. "I want that set up so that 1 can have proofs within three days. Now, If I were In London there would be no trouble, but here In New York it seems it can't be done. Perhaps you can tell mo of a printer in America who is alive. Had I better go up to Poughkeepsle or over to Jersey? Is there a real printing office anywhere about? I don't care how the printing is done; don't want any corrections made; I merely want tho proofs in three days. I don't suppose you can do it, but perhaps you can tell me of some country printer who bolongs to this country." The silent man made no reply, but kept on rolling his cigar about. He glanced at the tirst page and seemed to estimate the number of words it contained, then looked at the end of the manuscript and saw how many pages there woe. Ail this with the utmost deliberation, while the author stood before him tense wth anxi'-ty. Then the manager pressed an electric button, and presently a man in his shirt sleeves appeared. The boss quietly handed him the copy. "Set that up in nonpareil." he said; "any size of page you like, depending on what machines you have Idle and the paper in stock. Print, fold and bind six copies, and have thm on my desk here at 10 Eharp tomorrow morning." The man in shirt sleeves departed without a word, and then the manager drawled: "We don't need any three days in N'York. The Ird made the world In six davs. Good night." A lovely example of Greek meeting Greek. Fifty PaHseiiKorN CMcnpe. GREi:N hay. Wis.. April 9.

PncetlouN Priend Deeornle u evtly Wedded Couple Trunk. Chicago Tribune. Seldom Is the house painter of the Palmer House called on to drcorate tlie trunks of guests, but the unusual happened yesterday in the case of Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Manvell. of Ottumwa, la. They were married in tha Iowa city on Thursday, and arrived In Chicago the nxt morning. They went to the Palmer House, and left orders that their trunk be sent up as soon as it came from the depot. This was done, but when it was brought into the room exclamations of amazement. minsUd with unkind remarks concerning some of their friends, burst from the lips of the young couple. The four sides ot the trunk wcr) covered with inscriptions which could leave no doubt in the mind of any one who chanced to see it that it belonged to a newly married couple. Sentimental mottoes crowded congratulations and directions to railroad and hotel men to take good care of the young pair, and to cap the climax there were painted the pictures of bride and groom so faithfully done as to make both recognizable. Chagrin and despair for a time moved the Manvclls and then they tried to remove the obnoxious inscriptions. Thi3 they found to be impossible, and then, acting on the happy thought of the bride, an order was sent to the oiHce to have the house painter come up to the room armed and equipped for business. This artist np-plle-d a heavy coat of drab paint to the trunk, and all evidences of the work of tho mischievous friends of the couple soon disappeared. But the trunk will not bear handling for a day or two. A Partr of Millionaire Sail. NEW YORK, April 9.
