FILIPINOS ENCOURAGED.
Likely to Resume War with Fresh
Spirit Arms and Supplies In
creased. .Manila, July 22, via Han Francisco,
Aim. 2V In thu city of Manila the
persons who talk of the ending of the
war deal no longer with weeks, but
with months and years. Among "por
i.ns here, military men and foreign
le.sicb'iits. there Is but one opinion.
Thi- whop- effort of the Insurgent
f " thu"' months was to hold off thu
ii. ! leans until the rains came. In
th-it they have been as successful as
tiny could have hoped. Unless affair.-.
lu'-o some unforeseen turn the Filip
inos will resume the war this fall with
l"i ' sh spirit and a replenished stool: of
aims and ammunition. One shipload
f'l arms, It Is learned on good author
lt., has reached them within this
week. Of money the leaders of the In
surrection have no lack. They con
trol the resources of a large and rich
c mntry, and even though no crops
wen harvested for several years they
i mild obtain enough cash and supplies
bv impressing the treasures of the
church, the storehouses of farmers
ind nuuutfaotnreis and the funds of
private individuals a system of levy
which they have long enforced with
considerable success. All the ships
londng and going Into the ports re
cently opened to trade pay heavy trib
ute to the Insurgents. Much of the
V ofits of that informal sort of gov
ernment are supposed to go Into the
pockets of the leaders, excepting
guiiiaiim. wiio is not generally
charged of enriching himself bv the
pre,ent war; but If the public treas
ury becomes empty the politicians who
ate exploiting Agulnaldo may. if they
rei a possibility of success, consider
the war a good private Investment.
Reports brought through the linos to
Spaniards and Filipinos In this city are
that the spirits of the Insurrectionists
nn. improving. Americans, like the
Spaniards, must defer to nature and
rest on their arms most of tho time
while the country Is n mud wallow, and
the generals of the Insurgents are tell
ing their followers that American In
action during the past month Is due to
discouragement and demoralization.
The Flllnlno soldiers, according to
those Informants, are tolerably con-t-nted.
Although the paymaster sel
rtom appears, they are living as com
fortably as they have been accustomed
to live. They are clothed and receive
rations. They can subsist on rice, with
occasionally a little ilsh or meat. That
would not be sufllclent for an Ameri
can soldier. They are fairly well
housed, as they have taken possession
of the dwellings and public and church
buildings in the towns in which they
are quartered.
The Secret Service.
Through the American secret service
come reports that the Filipino army Is
being decimated by desertion; that It
Is fast losing heart, and that It is on
the verge of disruption. Past experi
ence with the secret service makes ono
suspicious that many of Its employes,
most of whom are natives or Spaniards,
nre deeply Interested In holding their
places by seeming to earn their pay.
The refugees who come through the
lines also have been disposed to give
reports which they think please the
authorities. Almost since the begin
ning of the war they have pictured the
Filipino army as on Its last legs and
Its collapse as but a question ot days.
General Otis caused the country to bt
placarded with nn offer of J30 for each
Insurgent rllle voluntarily surrendered.
If the Filipino soldiers wero deserting
by companies, tired of the war and con
verted 'to American rule, many of thenr
might bo expected to bring their guns
Into the American lines and rocelve the
reward, but less than 100 guns have
come In as a result of the offer.
There was a time when Agulnaldo's
biggest nrmy hung In the bnlance.when
Its destruction appeared Inevitable.
That was when (lenernl MacArthur
had captured San Fernnndo and Gen
oral Luwton wns marching upon Han
Isldor, scattering the Filipinos before
him. General Lawton had made him
self n terror to the Insurgents because
no obstacles stopped him. If the coun
try was trackless his men cut roads
and the general nnd his staff took off
their coats and helped. When ratloni
were not forthcoming they breakfasted
on another inch of their belts nnd
marched ahead. They nhvays man
aged to attack from an unexpected
qunrter.
When General I.awton wns at San
Isldor, the rebels feared he might
sweep around upon Tarlae, where they
had Installed their nomadic capital,
and catch them between two armies.
General I.awton asked to bo allowed
to do It with the men and rations he
had. Hut orders came to withdraw
his troops from San Isldor and return
to Malolos, leaving small garrisons at
some of the towns ho had captured.
The Filipinos construed his retirement
Into a retreat and from that day the
sinking hopes of the Insurrection
seemed to rise. Luna nnd Maseardo,
who had retreated northward from San
Fernando toward Tarlae, brought their
unities back and constructed a horse
shoo line of entrenchments around San
Fernando, where, according to reports,
they led their followers to believe they
had General Muc Arthur besieged.
Luna Affair.
The assassination of Luna was ex
pected to bring the whole Fil
ipino organization toppling down
In civil war, but, while Un
usual stories of dissensions are
heard, its only result, so far as out
ward appearances go. wns to leave
Agulnaldo the undisputed leadership.
The Filipinos nre encouraged by the
handicap the rain Imposes on the
Americans and the departuto of the
volunteers. They read the American
newspaper and believe that the homo
sentiment against war Is growing.
Their policy after the rains Is to be ns
It was befoie a campaign for gain
ing time and wearing out their op
ponents They profess to Imagine that
congress will declare against annexa
tion. If congress fails them they will
try to prolong the struggle until the
presidential campaign Is begun, with
the expectation that one of the politi
cal parties will declare against im
perialism and hope that such a patty
may win.
To whip them while they are pursu
ing such tactics an army Is needed that
can move rapidly and strike day after
day, following up defeat without hav
ing to wait for rations, and thus giving
the enemy time to reorganize. To cap.
til re the Insurgent lendeis most of the
generals here believe that cavalry Is
necessary. Time nftor time the Ameri
cans have carefully planned move
ments which seemed sure to result in
the rounding up of two or three thous
and rebels In a trap, but every time
the difficulties of the country, the
slowness of the wagons trains and the
superior agility of the light-moving
natives have frustrated those plans,
and when the several divisions of the
army came together they have found
a handful of obsequious brown men
who announced themselves "anilgos."

tho Author of It Elaborate Dem
onstration In Court The Expert in
Anthropometry Proves Tiresome.
Squad of Soldiers Required to Car
ry in Ills Notes Fnils to Impress
the Judges.
'tonnes, ug. 2.".. The proceedings In
the second trial by court-tnartlal of
Captain Alfred Dreyfus of th" artil
lery, charged with treason, wore con
tinued In the Lyooo here nt G.Ui a. in.
The clerk of the court read 11 medical
certlllente. signed by two obscure
physicians. In which It was asserted
that It was impossible for Colonel du
I'aty do Clam to leave his bed to come
to Uennes and testify In the case.
Maltro I.abori, of counsel for the de
fense, aked the president of the court
to Instruct two well known medical
men to (xamlne du I'aty do Clam;
but the request was refused.
Rowland Stiong. an Kngllsh news
paper man. was the first witness called
today. Ho deposed that to him Major
Count Ksterhazy had confessed that
he wrote the bordereau.
Tho next witness was M. Gobert. an
expert of the Hank of France, to whom
Is accorded the credit of having been
the llrst man In Franco to have spok
en In favor of Dreyfus. It was M.
Gob"rt who declared, after he had
examined the documents In the case,
that it was his belief that Ksterhazy,
and not Dreyfus, hnd written the bor
dereau. The witness began his deposition with
n brief personal statement, protesting
against being characterized by the mil
itary party as an "inter"sted expert."
"Hut." ho added. In a tone of pity as
he turned toward Dreyfus, "I have no
right to complain and' am silent when
I sec before mo the unfortunate man
who sits there."
M. Gobert then repeated the testi
mony he had given before the court
of cassation. He was mot emphatic
In attributing the l-ordereau to Ester
hazy. Answering questions of tho
Judges, he said that the bordereau was
written In a running, natural hand
and there was no evidence of tracing or
of other trickery.
General Gonse asked to be confront
ed with M. Gobert and put a number
of questions to him Over one of two
tho witness stumbled, to the evident
satisfaction of tho military witnesses,
who smiled nnd exchanged joyful
glances.
Bertlllon's Documents.
M. liertlllon, the noted specialist In
the measurement of the human body,
was called as the next witness. He
asked permission to have his diagrams
and papers brought In. The request
was granted and M. liertlllon retired
for a moment. Later he returned at
tho head of a squad composed of an
infantry sergeant and four privates,
staggering under the weight of Im
mense leather satchels, bulging with
documents, charts, etc As the satchels
were deposited on the stage a roar of
laughter burst from the public in tho
court room. I'ven the judges were un
able to suppress a smile as they gazed
on M. Hortlllon's stage properties,
strewed over half the platform. A tahl
was brought In, on which the plans ho
desired to use could bo placed.
The witness bgan bv saying that
only Intelligent men could follow his
explanations, nnd the court was soon
half emptied as the audience, after
smiling, audibly, at the expert's ex
traordinary words and expressions, be
came bored and wont out.
M. Itertlllon began his deposition nt
S.S0 a. m. He occupied tho whole of
tho session todav, and will, perhaps,
occupy a good part of tomorrow's. In
a shrill voice and with much gesticu
lation he delivered his monologue, pro
ducing every minute some fresh paper
covered apparently with hieroglyphics.
Ho presented a copy of each document
to the Judges, who, with an expression
of owl-like wisdom, examined them
carefully. The members of the court
put their heads together, and gazed
earnestly on thu long, wide strips of
paper while at. liertlllon leaned over
their table, trying to explain his mys
tifying diagrams, which wore after
ward passed to MM. Laborl and Do
mange, who. however, apparently did
not derive much profit from tho study
of them.
Dreyfus gazed at the scene with a
look of stupefaction.
The clearest utterance of M. Hortll
lon during tho course of his demon
stration wns that the handwriting of
the bordereau "obeys a geometrical
rhythm, of which I discovered the
equation In the prisoner's blotting
pad." Tho witness finally nnnounced
that he would give a practical demon
stration of tho writing of the border
eau according to his system. Then ho
thentrlcally cleared the dpsk attached
to the witness bar, drew his chair
nearer, deposited his high hat on the
lloor. and, sitting down, began copying
the bordereau. The speotators watched
him as ho bent over the desk und drew
the letters. The judges gazed at him
for about ten minutes. Then they be
came restless and Colonel Jouaust re
marked that It was not necessary to
copy tho whole bordereau, but that a
few lines would sufllce.
Court Dissatisfied,
A few minutes later M. liertlllon
arose strolled to the Judges' table and
laid before them his copy. Tho Judges,
council, the government commissary.
Major Carrlere, and the clerk of the
court, clustered around In one group,
eagpr to see the result. The public
In tho court room watched tho strange
spectacle eagerly until Colonel Jouaust
shrugged his shoulders, nnd then they
knew that M. Hertlllon had failed to
satisfy the court.
M. Hurtlllon noticed the action of
Colonel Jouaunt, and said apologeti
cally: "I was too badly placed."
Maltro DemnuKtf, of counsel for the
defense, returned to counsel's table,
nnd, In response to n look of Inquiry
from Dreyfus, whispered a few words
to the prisoner, with a shrug of his
shoulders and a smile on his face.
Dreyfus appeared perfectly satisfied.
Colonel Jouaust then, at 11.4fi a. in.,
adjourned the court, nnd 11. liertlllon
packed up his belongings and the sol
diers carried them out.
To the newspaper men who crowded
around Maltro Laborl, asking him for
his Impressions of M. Hertlllon's de
monstration, counsel, said there was n
cortnln resemblance to the writing In
tho bordereau, adding:
"Hut that Is nil. M. liertlllon only
did what dozens of persons could do.
It only proves he Is a clover forger.
That Is all."
M. I.abori today summoned ten now
witnesses for the defense.
GUERIN IN THE FORT.
His Followers Bombard the Public
with Bricks.
Paris, Aug. 2.". M. Guerin and his
followers, who are still besieged In tho
headquarters of (he nntl-Semlte head
quarters, created some oxclteir lit this
afternoon by distributing f jm the
windows of the building olrc lars de
nouncing the Jews. When le police
prevented tho people from p eking up
the circulars the Guerlntes bombard
ed the police with bricks.
The police today deluged the walls
In the neighborhood of M. Guerln's
fort with disinfectants, owing to thu
abominable stench since tho watter
supply was cut off.
At a late hour this evening n re
porter from the Antl-Julf tried to re
vletual tho fortress, but was prevented
by tho police.
M. Guerin. greatly Incensed, fired
two shots at a policeman. Neither
reached the mark, but the Incident
will probably precipitate matters.
EARLY MORNING FIRE
Lindner's Bakery, on Penn
Avenue, Badly Damaged.
The brick store building at 22; Penn
avenue and frame structure in the rear,
owned by Carl Lnrenz nnd leased by
(Inker Fred. I.lndner. were badly dam

o'clock this morning.
The Haines started In the frame

supposed It started from the ovens.
Mr. I.lndner. who with his family,
oooiiple.i the second door of the brick
building, was awakened by nn nf ihe
bakers crying "Aro" and hastening to
where lie mv th" blaze attempted to
extinguish it. He fought It with buck
ets of water for a time but was at
last dr'-pii back by tho flanv with
bis head and nrms painfully burned.
In the meantime an alarm was sent In
by one of tho bakers and th" central
city companies came on the scene.
lieforo their arrival some exciting In
cidents were enacted on the upper
lloors of tho front bulldlng.where some
of the members of Mr. Lindner's fam
ily and the tenants of tho third floor,
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Salisbury, had a
narrow escape from being suffocated.
They tarried too long in dressing and
gathering up portable valuables, nnd
when they started to make the trip
down the narrow hall, found It almost
Impassable from smoke.
Mr. and Mrs Salisbury wore yet on
the third lloor whOn tho gah lights on
the second lloor wore extinguished by
the density of the smoke, and but for
the assistance of some men win hap
pened to bo nigh when the lire broke
out, would not havo been able to get
out. As it was Mrs. Salisbury collaps
ed on tho second floor nnd had to bo
assisted to the sidewalk.
The dromon succeeded In saving the
front building from serious dnmngo
by lighting the flames front nnd roar.
At " o'clock the lire was well under
control.

my respects to the Ocian Grove Camp

magnificent work It has dune In the past
and still greater work which it will ac

I hollovo that there is more love for

Is raised It stands not for despotism and
oppression, but for liberty, opportunity
and humanity nnd what that flag has
done for us wo want it to do for all peo
ple and ull lands which by the fortunes
of war have come within Its jurisdiction..
That flag docs not mean one thing in the
T'nlted States and another in Porto Rico

bluobook containing further corres
pondence between the secretary oC
state for the colonics, Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, nnd tho Hrltlsh high
cdmmlsssloner for South Africa, Sir
Alfred Mllner. The principal des
patches dealt with tho Transvaal's re
quest for arbitration and Mr. Cham
berlain's suggestion for a Joint Inquiry
which was telegraphed to Sir Alfred
Mllner at Capetown on July 31., No
Information Is given, however, as to
the views of the Transvaal govern
ment regarding this proposition.
Sir Alfred Mllner transmitted the
Transvaal's proposal on June 14 nnd
recommended Its immediate rejection
as It would raise more questions than
it would solve. In defending his rec
ommendation Sir Alfred Insisted that
a redress of the gilevancos of, tho Out
landers stood at the head of tile pro
gramme and that nothing- else could
!- considered until, this point was
s-ettled.
Mr. Chamberlain. In replying, en
dorsed Sir Alfred Mllner' views nnd
reviewed the situation resulting In tho
treatment to which tho Outlanders arc
now subjected. Ills reply concluded
with the proposal of a joint commis
sion of Inquiry.
