THE DREYFUS AFFAIR. Sensation Caused by Publication of Letters. 4 ■* Their Authorship Not Tot Certain, hot At* trlbatcd toy One of the Vlce-freelUeutf ot the Sennte to Comte FerUluouU suit Wnlsiu Esterhosy.

Paris. Not. 29.—The Figaro has caused a sensation in connection with the Dreyfus affair by publishing several letters purporting to have been written by Comte Ferdinand aud WaD sin Esterhazy. who has been accused by M. Scheruer-Kestner, one of the viee-presideuts of the senate, of beiug the author- of the letter which led to . the coudewnation of Dreyfus. In one of them after expressing his intention to enter the Turkish service, Comte Esterhazy is represented as saying: “I shall not leave without haviug played a trick of my own on those amiable Frenchmen/’ Other passages illustrating the character of the letters follow: “Our cowardly aud ignorant great chiefs will go ouce more to people German prisons.” “T should be perfectly happy if I were told I was to be killed to-morrow as a captain of uhlans sabering Frenchmen/’ ”1 aiu capable of great things or | crimes if that could avenge me. I | would not harm a little dog. but I ! would have a hundred thousand Frenchmen killed with pleasure.” Comte Esterhazy proceeds to say that "Frenchmen are not worthy of the cartridges intended to kill them.” aud he conjures up a "dream of festivity" in the shape of the pillage of Paris by a huudre.1 thousand drunken sol- | diers. I Interviewed by reporters yesterday | as to the publication in the Figaro of letters purporting to be of his authorship, Comte Esterhazy displayed great iudignatiou, and declared that they were forged by the friends of Dreyfus, who, he said, had taken words and seuteuees from his letters aud j pieced them together by a process with w hich he was acquainted. He said also that he had been warned some days back that such a publication would be made. Le Jour doubts the authenticity of | the letters. Shortly after Figaroappeared.Comte i Esterhazy visited Gen. Pellieux, who was appointed by Gen. Saussier, the ' military governor of Paris, to conduct ! the investigation of the charges which j have beeu brought against him aud 1 protested against what he alleges is a j fresh caiumuy. A semi-official note says that Gen. Pellieux’ investigation was almost fini ished, but that he will now examine | into the authenticity of these letters, I when he will act with absolute irnparI tiality, and see to it that satisfaction is ! given to the army, to justice aud to j truth. Gen. Pellieux interrogated Col. Piequart, who was suinmoued from Tunis | in connection with the Dreyfus affair, ! aud whose statements were reported ; to be the basis of the accusations orig- | iually against Comte Esterhazy. As cabled to the press Saturday the | Figaro of that day said Gen. Pellieux j had seized letters written by Comte Esterhazy to several persons, in whieh the writer hail insulted and violently attacked the heads of the Freuoharmy. According to the Intrausigeant of Saturday. Col. Picquart had been sentenced to 30 days’ detention iu a fortress for his reflections on Comte Esterhazy. Prior to the Figaro's publication of the letters referred to in the foregoing dispatch, it was understood ; in Paris that the result of Geu. Pellieux’s inquiry would be announced tomorrow ^Tuesday) to Geu. Billot, minI ister of war. WITH PERMISSION OR WITHOUT. — C»pL Howe Propose* to More Upon the Wichita Reservetloo Jeuuerjr lO. Kassas City, Mo., Not. 29.—A special to the Times from Wichita, Kas., says: "Capt. F. L. Howe has designated January 10 as the day for his “boom” to move upon the Wichita reservation if uo actiou toward opening it shall be taken by congress by that date. The instructions of Secretary Bliss that the Indian police be reinforced by regular troops if necessary has made Howe furious.” ’’Damn the Indian police,” said Howe yesterday in advising his men. "All we want is our rights according to law, and the law allows us to go into the Wichita mountains. We propose to go about this matter peaceably. W’e shall ask congress, when that body convenes, to open the reservation, or allow us to go into the mountains and take claims. We shall wait a reasonable time, and if our petition is not granted we shall move upou the land. I’ve got the men to do it. and if these Indian police or Agent Baldwin interferes there will be graves sil over the reservstion snd msny s regular will lie down with the rest, too, if the federal troops interfere. There is no use to agitate the matter, but the federal authorities may as well be informed *s to our intentions.” Howe is regarded by many as a visionary crank.
