ESCAPED HIS ISLAND JAIL
Captain Orcyfirs, the French Spy, Res
, cued from His Prison and Carried
Off in an American Schooner'.
London, Sept. 3. Captain Hunter of
the llrltlsh st-jamshlp Nonpareil, which
lms arrived at Newport, Monmouth
Ehire, from Cayenne, French Guiana,
reports that Captain -Albert Dreyfus,
formerly of the Wench army and at
tached to the ministry for war, who
was sentenced to be publicly degraded
ami contlned for life In n fortress, after
having been convicted by a court-martial
of selling plans of French fortifica
tions, mobilisation schemes, etc., to a
foreign government, has escaped from
the Isle du Grand Salut, where he was
taken after leaving; the Isle de Ro, off
the French coast.
In nn interview. Captain Hunter Is
quoted as saying that Dreyfua escaped
on board an American schooner, and
with, the help of his wife, formerly a
Mile. Hadamard, and the daughter of
wealthy parents. Mme. Dreyfus, at
the urgent request of the prisoner, re
ceived permosBlon from the French
government to olti her husband at his
place of imprisonment, and in due
course of time arrived at Cayenne well
supplied with fund -
Mme. Dreyfus was always a firm be
liever In the innocence of her husband,
ami when she reached Cayenne the
French authorities there offered her
the use of a steam launch to take her
to the Grand Salut Island, where her
husband's prison was Bltuated, but she
declined, saying that she wished to be
come accustomed to tlu; climate before
going to the Island. Thereupon the
steum launch left Cayenne.
According to Captain Hunter, Mme.
Dreyfus must have lost no time In per
fecting1 plans for her husband's escape,
or else she must have had assistance
from persons who hud reached Cay
enne some time before her, for, the
same night, he says, an American
schooner, with Mme. Dreyfus on board,
appeared off Grand Salut Island, sent
a boat ashore and brought off not only
the prisoner, but several of the men
who had been detailed to guard him,
apparently proving conclusively that
everything was arranged for the es
cape of Captain Deyfrus before his
wife reached Cayenne.
