ALL ARE IN
FAVOR OF A
REVISION
The Freud Cabinet Officers Realize Hat
the Dreyfus Case lust Sooner or
Later Ms a New Hearing.
THE INFLUENCE IS STRONG
Government Must Not Defy
Public Opinion.
Sarricn Promises to Render a Decision
Regarding the Application of Ma
dame Dreyfus for a Revision of
Her Husband's Case.
Pabis, Sept. 5. Interviews with Pre
mier Henry Brisson, and the late minis
ter of war, Cavaignac, oa the subject of
the political situation as affected by the
recent developments in theDreyfus case,
are printed in the Echo de Paris. Bris
son said all the members of the minis
try are convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus,
but the government must consider the
change that has come over public
opinion since the suicide of Henry.
Brisson expressed the views that it is
the duty of the government to end the
excitement which is paralyzing the best
interescs of the government.
Cayignac said it would be a serious
mistake if not a supreme act of folly on
tne part of the government to persist in
its present course, and he was not wil
ling to participate in any such policy,
under the circumstances.
The newspapers point oul that Cavig
nac'a resignation of the war portfolio has
produced a painful impression in polit
ical circles, which, while recognizing the
fact that the mnocenc9 of Dreyfus has
not been proved, take the ground that a
new trial of charges against the prisoner
of Devil's island has become absolutely
necessary.
When the cabinet met today the min
ister of justice, Ferdinand Sarrien, in
formed his colleagues of Mme. Dreyfus'
request for a reyision of the verdict
against her husband. Sarr:en promised
to give a statement of the result of his
examination into the matter at a meet
ing of the cabinet, to be convened after
the minister of war shall have been ap
pointed. The premier explained the reason act
uating Generals Saussier and Seurlen
den in declining the office of minister of
war. He was now awaiting a decision
of the other generals to whom he had
offered tne portfolio.
FOR OFFICERS
AND JACKIES
Rear Admiral of the North Atlantic to
Receive $40,000 Dewey and His
Men to Receive 187,500.
New York, Sept. 5. A Washington
epecial says :
At least $1,000,000 prize money will
be distributed among the American sail
ors as a result of the war with Spain.
More than one-half of this amount will
be paid in accordance with that section
of the law providing for the payment of
a bounty for persons on board vessels of
war sunk in action. The lesult will be
turned into the treasury for distribution
by the courts, which shall paaa upon
vessels of the enemy captured by Amer
ican men-of-war.
From the official report of Admiral
Montejo, commanding the Spanish fleet
sunk at Manila, there were 187,5 persona
on the ships of his command, i The
American squadron and Admiral Dew
ey's men will get only $100 for each per
son. It is estimated the aggregate amount
due the Asiatic fleet as the result of the
Spanish forces is $187,500, which con
gress will be asked tu appropriate dur
ing the coming session. One-twentieth
of the sum belongs to Admiral Dewey as
commander-in-chief, and he will, there
fore, be $9375 richer than he was before
the war.
Rear-Admiral Sampson has realized a
snug little fortune-as a result of the war.
As commander-in-chief of the North At
lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of
the head money allowed for the vessels
destroyed off Santiago and in Cuban
ports. It is estimated that he will filial
ly receive about $40,000 as his share of
the prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men, it will be
necessary for the department to decide
whether a vessel destroyed is superior
or inferior to her antagonist. If the lat
ter, the American ship will be entitled
to $200 for each person on board the
enemy. Of course, this will swell the
amount of prize money due the rear
admiral. BEGINS SITTING
THIS WEEK
Fifth Member of the American Board
Will be Appointed at Once and
Organization Will Follow
Promptly.
New York, Sept. 5. A special to the
Herald from Washington says :
It is stated by administration officials'
now in Washington that the fifth mem
ber of the American peace commission
will be chosen the early part of the
present week, and that the first session
of the full body would be held in the
state department in the latter part of
the week, to study the important work
before it and to receive instructions
from the President.
President KcKinley will be in Wash
ington on Tuesday and the cabinet meet
ing to be held on that day will un
doubtedly consider a draft of the in
structions which the president and
Secretary Day have been considering
since they left Washington.
Acting Secretary Moore expects to
have ready for commission to the com
mittee all the data relating to the pro
positions which it is possible to obtain
and a statement of the claims arising
from personal injuries or property losses
in Cuba which have been eubmitted by
Americans.
It can be etated on excellent authority
that Justice White has not officially ac
cepted the appointment as a member of
the peace commission. The question is
still open, and this would seem to indi
cate that there is a chance of the justice
accepting membership on the commis
sion. It is known, however, that Mr.
McKinley has several prominent men
in view in case Justice White declines.
It is said that the French embassy
has not yet informed the state depart
ment of the appointment of the Spanish
commissioners. It is not expected that
the Madrid government will transmit
this information until the receipt of the
names of American representatives,
which will be sent on Tuesday. In de
laying the announcement of the names
of her representatives, Spain, it is said,
desires to show that deference which
should properly be paid to the victor by
the vanquished.

TRAIN STRIKES
. A NEW YORK
TROLLEY CAR
Appaling Disaster at Cohoes,
New York.
THE DEATHS WERE MANY
Eighteen Passengers Killed and More
of Them Will Die Happy Pick
nickers Suddenly Hurled Into
Eternity.
Cohoes, N. Y., Sept. 5. An appaling
disaster occurred in this city tonight.
Shortly before 8 o'clock a trolley-car of
the Troy City Railway Company was
struck by the night-boat special of the
Delaware & Hudson at a crossing at the
west end of the Hudson river ' bridge,
which connects the city with Lansing
burg, and its load of human freight was
hurled into the air. Eighteen of the
thirty-five passengers are dead, and at
least ten more will die.
The cars entering the city from Lans
ingburg were crowded with pas3engors
from a picnic at Kennsaelaer's Park, a
pleasure resort near Troy. It was car
No. 192 of the Troy City railway that
met with disaster. It came over the
bridge about 7 -.30 o'clock ladened with a
merry party of people, fresh from the
enjoyment of the day.
The motor car was struck directly in
the center by the engine of the train,
which was going at a high rate of speed.
The accident came without the slightest
warning. The car was upon the track
before the train loomed in sight, and no
power on earth could have saved it. The
motorman evidently saw the train ap
proaching as he reached the track, and
opened his controller, but in vain. With
a crash that was heard for blocks the
engine struck the light car. The Effect
was horrible. The motor car parted in
two, both ends being thrown into the
air in splinters.
The mass of humanity, for the car was
crowded to overflowing, was torn and
mangled. Those in the front of the car
met with the worst fate. The force of
the colision was there felt the worst, and
every human being in that section was
killed.
The scene was horrible. Bodies had
Leea hurled into the air, and their
headless and limbless trunks were found
f n some case as far as fifty feet from the
crossing.
The pilot of the engine was smashed,
and amid the wreckage were the maimed
corpses of two women. The passengers
experienced no injury, except the shock.
The majority of the passengers on the
trolly-car were young people, most of
them being women.

Wikoff, Sept. 5. The transport Ron
mania, which arrived yesterday with
600 troops from Santiago, was a means
of an additional test on the capacity of
the hoepitals iu the detention camp. . Of
the 600 men on the Roumania, about 200
were so sick that they had to be put in
the hospital. Officials were obliged to
put matreeses on the floor. - Conse
quently it is possible some will have to
lie on the floor several days. While the

ACCIDENT TO
THE IOWA
Engine Room Said to Have Been
Partly Flooded During the Pro
cess of Floating the Big
Battle-ship. '
New York, Sept. 5. The Tribune
says:
An accident occured on the battle
ship Iowa yesterday in drydock No. 3, at
the Brooklyn navy-yard the, extent of
which could not be learned last night
on account of the reticence of the officers
of the yard. It was reported that the
engine-rooms of the Iowa were partly
flooded by the entrance of water through
an open sea cock as the ship was being
floated.
.As near as could be learned from the
stories afloat last night, the officials got
ready to float the Iowa in the drydock,
where she had been for the last three or
four days, and the valves iu the caisson
at the end of the drydock were opened.
The water poured in through the valves
and at least one of the sea cocks or in
jection valves in the Iowa's hull was
either open or insecurely fastened, so
that the force from the outside pushed
the cock valve back and the water
gushed into the hull of the vessel.
As soon as those on board the Iowa
discovered that water was entering the
ship a signal was given to close the
caisson valves, and this was done with
as great promptness as possible. Mean
while there was sufficient water in the
dock to enter the engine-room of the
battle-ship, and it was impossible to
promptly force the cock shut while the
water was going in.
As soon as possible the cocks were
closed and an examination was made of
the damage. Just what the damage
amounts to will not be known until today
It was said that enough water was not
let into the dock to come any way near
floating the ship, and that she is resting
on her keel blocks the same as she was
before the water was turned on. The
pumping of the water out of the dock is
a matter of only a short time, and the
officers eeen would not admit that any
accident had taken place.
