ESTEBHAZY'S TRIAL A PAEODT.
So Declare M. Ives Onyot, Former
Minister of Public Works-Othor
Wltneaee Decline to Testify, on the
Ground of " Proreulonr.l Socrecjr."
Paris. Feb. 14. The trial of MM.
Zola and Perreux for writing and pub
lishing serious charges against the
government officials In connection with
the sentence of Captain Dreyfus, to life
Imprisonment, for alleged betrayal ot
government secrets, has been consid
erable of a farce until Friday last.
Cabinet ministers, ex-cabinet minis
ters, high army officers and ex-PresI-dent
Casimlr-Perler have been on the
witness stand, but the moment a
question was asked the presiding Judge j
would rule it out of order, and the of.
flclals would decline to answer on the
ground of "professional secrecy."
On Friday, however. Colonel Pic.
quart gave evidence very damaging
to his superior officers and favorable
to Dreyfus. It also showed him (Pic
quart) to have been the victim of per
secution since he began his endeavor to
probe the truth. Colonel Picquart em
phatically denied General Pellieux'a
statement that he had divulged an es
pionage affair to outsiders. He added
that he communicated his suspicions
ot the guilt of Major Esterhaiy to his
chiefs, who never said they had addi
tional evidence of the guilt of Dreyfus
beyond what he knew himself.
On Saturday by the clever maneuvers
of Maitres Laborie and DeMange, the
latter, who knew very well that he was
breaking the law, got In a statement
that th reason that he objected to the
Dreyfus trial was that Dreyfus had
been convicted on a secret document
handed to his Judges without Its being
communicated either to the prisoner or
to himself. He ought to have waited
till the question waa put to him by the
Judges, who would, of course, have re
fused to put It, but did not do so, and
got in a quiet mala out before be could
be checked.
When the trial was resumed today
M. Jaures, the Socialist member ot the
chamber of deputies, waa recalled. He
reiterated hts belief In the culpability
ot Major ESrerhaxy.
Th examination of M. Bertlllon, the
handwriting expert, waa thea resumed
He said he thought It Impossible to ask
tlhe minister of war for the incriminat
ing documents seised at the residence
of Dreyfus In 1804, which, according to
the testimony of th wttanas on Batur
day last, would enable Mm to prove
that Drayfua wrote th bordereau.
FinaCy M. BcrtUea, who persisted la
not answering oaeatloaa, left the wit
ness stand amidst considerable uproar.
M. Laborie remarking: "And this Is the
man upon whose evidence Dreyfus was
convicted." M. Berilllen gave his ab
sursA evidence, while displaying a fan
tastic diagram, amid 'oantlnuoua shrieks
of laughter.
Yves Guyet, the former mlnlsteT'of

that no torlbe had ever actually been

Washington, Feb. 15. Official news
from Madrid, received lute last nlsht,
says:. "The cabinet met at 6 o'clock
this evening and discussed the present
state of the war In Cuba and the De
Lome matter at great length. It was
decided to publish a decree accepting
the resignation of Senor Dupuy De
Lome as minister at Washington and
appointing Senor Louts Polo Hernabe
as his successor. Senor Gullon, the
minister ot foreign affairs, Informed the
cabinet that United States Minister
Woodford had Just handed him a note

Admiral Polo, who formerly represented i
Spain In this country. Senor Bernabe
is now engaged In a special department
of the foreign ministry at Madrid
dealing with commercial matters and
consulates.
Actuated by a sens ot honor and a
strict idea of Justice, the state depart
ment has taken steps to place tn the
hands of Senor Canalejas, to whom the
letter was Addressed, the epistle writ
ten by Senor Dupuy De Lome which
led to th resignation of the minister.
The transaction Is explained In the
following brief statement given out
last night by the state department:
"Recognising that the legal owner
ship of the De Lome letter Is In Mr.
Canalejas, and his agent and attorney,
Mr. Carlisle, having presented proper
authority to receive the same, the let
ter waa delivered to him today."
As explained In this statement, Mr.
Carlisle waa fully authorised to apply i
for and receive the letter, having the
cabled authorisation from 8enor Canale
jas. In the view ot the state depart
ment the letter waa a stolen document,
and In that, like any other piece of
property, It should upon application be
delivered to the rightful owner. There
was no other course left open, for ia
