Capt Alfred Dreyfus at S o'clock this morning let the prison In which he had been con fined since his return from Devil's isl and, and proceeded to Verna, where he took a train bound for Nantes. His departure was completely unnoticed. M. Vlrgule, chief of the secret ser vice, and M. Dureault arrived at the prison after midnight, bringing the order of the minister ot war for the release of Dreyfus. Dreyfus walked from the prison to th boulevard La Enne, where he en tered a waiting carriage and was driv en to the Verna station outside ot the town. Matthleu Dreyfus met him t the train, and accompanied him to Nantes. While this dramatic turn in the Dreyfus drama was taking place all Renne-s slept, and the departure of the famous prisoner of Devil's island was no more noticed than that of an or dinary traveler. TAKEN TO JrtCE. Is Accompanied by His Brother and . Chlet ot Secret Police. NANTES, Sept. 20. Dreyfus arrived here this morning from Rennes, ac companied by his brother Mathlew Dreyfus, Chief of Secret Service M. Vlguer, and one policeman. The party traveled as ordinary passengers. The train reached the station at 8:17 a. m. Here they took the Bordeaux train to continue their Journey alone, and where they arrived a few hours later. They expressed the Intention of proceeding to Nice. WAR TALK CONTINUE. Great Britain- Believed to be Going Slow to Gain Time. ' NKW YORK, gept 20. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The local papers 'are vibrating be tween peace and war, some of them reporting Kruger as giving way to the British demands, and others an nouncing an expected Boer invasion of Natal and hostilities in sight of Lolng's Nek. The truth seems to be that the situ ation Is unchanged and that Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamberlain after comparing views today have decided that a cabinet meeting must be held to consider an alternative program. The Transvaal government was warned that the ministers would tak the whole matter under reconsidera tion If their proposals war not ac cepted. This will require another cabinet meeting when there has been sufficient time for drafting a new dis patch. This interval will also enable the British forces already afloat or about embarking to reach South Africa. The ministers are not In hast to present an ultimatum when they are not ready for military operations. SURRENDER OF GUERIN. Anti-Semite Agitator Is Token to the Outskirts of Paris. PARIS. Sept 20.

At 4 o'clock a cap tain of the guard rapped at the door, as already stated. M. Guerin waa the last to leave the house. Th po lice had a doxen open cab all ready for the reception ot the garrison. M. Guerin was driven rapidly aay by the leant crowded approach to the P.ue de ChabroL Not a cry. was raised and there waa no demonstra tion. M. Guerin was taken to the central depot In the Palais de Justice, situated on -the lie de la Cite, In the center of the Seine. Then the weary troopers marched off. The officers gave orders to the cavalrymen who mounted their horses and trotted away. Then followed the firemen In wagons with their engine and fire es capes and soon only a small detach- ment of municipal foot guards and a cordon jf police enveloped In hooded cloaks remained In the Immediate vicinity of the fort. The majority of the crowd were at the opposite end at the street from which M. Guerin and his companions were driven away and the first Inti mation these slght-seers had that Fort Chabroi had surrendered was the withdrawal of the troops and guards. The exclamation was heard on all sides: "Why. they have surrendered like sheep! What a fiasco!" and the crowd, cheated out of the anticipated storming of the fort by fire and water, dispersed laughing at the expense of the government, which had taken six weeks to accomplish what, with a little determination, might have been done the first day and exchanging sar castic comment on the chicken-hearted conduct of M. Guerin and his garrison, who they had fondly hoped would make a spirited resistance. LYNTON SMELTER SOLD. Turchased by the English Develop ment Company of London. POKTIAND. Sept. 20.

A special to the World from Paris says: Captain Dreyfus in his present con dition of health, will not go to Folk estone. The report that Mme Dreyfus and Mme. Labor! visited that resort in search for quarters for Dreyfus Is false. The destination of Dreyfus is carefully withheld and Is known only to a few relatives. Even the friends wno fought for him keep quiet through a fear of a leakage. Dreyfus' weak health needs warm climates. Both Labor! and Demange were seen by the World correspondent. Each disclaimed any Intention of going to Rennes to see Dreyfus before his de parture. M. Labor! said: "The pardon can be only accepted as a preliminary to a future vindication. Our appeal is not yet withdrawn and If possible it won't be. At any rate, the fight will not be withdrawn." Entile Zola said to the World corres pondent: "The Rennes trial was the dark fourth act of a dark tragedy. How will the act end? Dreyfus will re gain his place in the army and the drama will end with a procession of handcuffed generals led to prison or else the dark days are Just beginning for France, days when Justice will come with the sword and torch and a martyr's acquittal will be soiled with the blood of humanity; by vindicating Dreyfus, France will vindicate her self. The curtain has risen on the fifth act. The world watches." QtAKING delicious end wholesome pwPf CO., Hmvrx.
