It is stated that while both Guatemala and Salvador have accepted in principle the propo-ition for a peace conference, the question of arbitration would be a subiect of future consideration.

"I am not aware of the in tentions of the government con cerning my advancement in rank. "I have nothing to say against tiiv accusers. "Ib ing again an officer 1 am obliged to obey the army regu lations of silence. "I am inexpressibly thankful to those who have assisted in the maintenance of truth." Paris (By Cable). Alfred Dreyfus was Thursday completely acquitted of the charges on which he was condemn ed as a traitor, dismissed from the army and imprisoned on Devils Island, and regarding which France has been torn for years by the most bitter poli tical and racial agitation. His vindication is twofold, the Su preme Court first announcing its decis ion establishing the entire innocence of the accused man, and the ministry later deciding to present an urgent bill in Parliament restoring Dreyfus to the army with advanced rank and othcrwi-c giving the government's most ample re paration. The decision of the court -was a fore gone conclusion, as exhaustive inquiries had completely demolished the fabric of the accusation against Dreyfus, showing that the real culprit was Major Count F.stcrhay. The decision, therefore, an nulled the condemnation of the Reniies court martial and ordered that the ac cptiltal be posted and published through out France. Thursday night the ministers held a protracted social session at the Elysee Palace under President Falliercs and determined on the government's course in carrying out the decision. The. text of the bills was formulated, which will be introduced in the Chamber of De puties, concerning, respectively, Dreyfus and Colonel Picqnart, whose sense of justice brought about the granting of the verdict for Dreyfus, with the object of restoring both to the ranks they would have held if they had continuously served in the army. Dreyfus consequently will be nominat ed a major with eventual early promotion to a lieutenant colonelship. Picquart will immediately become a brigadiler general. Dreyfus name also will be inscribed on the list for the Legion of Honor, but he will not be directly nominated to that distinction, though probably a lierree placing him on the list will short ly appear. Di-cussirins of the bills will lie taken up immediately and the ministers will ndeavor to have them pass both bouses in the course of the day, the cabinet de siring to settle the matter before the Parliamentary vacation in order to avoid a recurrence of the agitation of the country. 1 leputy Presscnse s interpellation rela tive to the government's intentions re garding the officers who were witnesses before the court-martial will follow the passing of the al-ove mentioned bills. Dreyfus demand for honorable rein statement in the army had liecn acceded to by Procurator General Haudouin. "lhe peace of France demands that the verdict of 'lhe Rennes court-martial be quashed." Tiandouin had announced, "and the whole world awaits the court's summary disposition of the subject, which wid be a triumph for justice and truth." He has been acquitted of all taint of treason. The triumph of Dreyfus and the spirit in which he sought justice was empha sized this week when the Supreme Court, in acquitting him, offiercd him financial reparation. He refused to accept dam ages, declaring that be demanded only the restoration of his honor as an officer lie wished neither money nor revenge. The decision of the court was read by the presiding judge, Mt Hollot-Ileaitpre, president of the Court of Cassation, im mediately on the reassembling of court rt noon. The Palace of Justice was thronged by an eager crowd seeking ad mission to the courtroom. Among those present were Ma'thew Dreyfus, brother to Alfred Dreyfus; Maitrc Mornard, counsel for Captain Dreyfus; Joseph Reinaeh, the historian of the Dreyfus af fair. Colonel Picquart, Madame Zola and many others who have figured in var ious stages of the celebrated case. Cap tain Dreyfus was not present, continuing his habitual secrecy by remaining seclud ed in the garret where lie has hitherto been cut off from the outer world.

Mrs. CrelTield brought the gun.

AN AWFUL MESS IN THESE TIN CANS Board of H.alth Analyzes Boston Pot . ted Meats. P4CKING HOUSES FOUND CLEAN. Skip, Blood Vesaelt, Nerve and Salivary Oland in On Klad of Polle-d Ham Oilier ttraodi Found Io Be Good and of liicelltnt Quality Investigation Favor able to Manufacturers. Boston (Special). The State Board of Health made- public the result of its investigation of canned meats. The board examined nearly 150 different kinds of canned meat, from every possi ble source, as well as the canned meat establishments. In a general way the results of the investigation are favorable to the manu facturers, both in the East and in llir West, bill it was found tin t many of the preparations contained a large amount of foreign matter. Of one brand of pot ted ham. prepared by a Western firm, lhe repori states : "Ibis was found to coii--t of a small amount of normal inu-cie, considerable epidermis in large pieces, numerous blood ves-cls and nerves and the sali vary gland, ground to a paste. (J-.iality poor, the material being largely scrap." Of another Western potted ham lhe repori says: "Abundant muscle fiber, considerable epidermis, much granular debris, some fat and cornmcal. Quality fair, but in asmuch as there appears to be no excuse for the presence of cornmcal, it must be rcganicd as adulterated." An Fai-tc-rn potted him :' described r..s follows : "Appearance good, muscular fiber abundant, contains nei'her epidermis nor salivary gland. Quality ce client." A number of the other product s, lhe board of health states, contain cornmeal. The board says : "Deviled bam is. or should he. b .:n to which seasoning has been added. The majority of deviled hams iii the market, however, contain added material which in no way can contribute to a sharp taste, or, indeed, to any taste. Cornmeal, for example, adds nothing to the flavor, but it is cheap and enables a meat pro duct to carry considerable additional water." Several brands of prepared meat were found to contain either boric acid or borax as a preservative. One Western "chicken loaf" is thus described : "Very little muscular fiber: much con nective tissue and com. It is preserved with cither boric acid or borax. The label states that the material is of su perior quality, 'having been carefully se lected and inspected according to the law enacted by Congress March .1, 1801, relating to the inspection of meats.'" The report .says regarding conditions in this state : "The large establishments were found to be conducted in all particulars in a scrupulously neat and clean manner. Of 2$ smaller establishments only five were found to be entitled to grade excellent." The investigation went far enough to show that local authorities may well give careful attention to the slaughter houses within their several jurisdictions. FIVE KILLED AND MANY INJURED.

Constantinople (By Cable). fresh in structions have been sent to the Turkish minister at Washington, Chekib Bey, to renew his efforts to dissuade the au 'hoiitics at Washington from carrying o-.it the proposed elevation of the legr.iion here to the status of an embassy. It appears that when the Turkish gov ernment was first notified that the United Stales desired to effect the change, Che kib iby was ordered to oppose the pro ject, but replied that he was unable to shake the d-, terininalioii of the State Department. He has now been instruct ed to inform that department that the proposed action requires a previous apretctnent between the two countries, which has not been effected in the pres et' t case.
