A REVISION
IS ORDERED
French Cabinet Renders a De
cision in the Captain
Dreyfus Case.
ALL RESTS WITH COURT
The Legality of the Proposed Pt-
Trial Proceedings Most
Be Passed Upon.
COUNT ESTERHAZY CHARGED
Sl J of Blm That Be Wat Paid to False
ly Ccafess to Havlof Forf el
thi Bordereau.
PARIS. Sept. 2& At a meeting of te
cabinet th.s morning, all tha ministers
being precetit. a decision waa taken In
favor of a revision of the trial of Cap
tain Dreyfus, and the documents In the
case will um sent to the court of causa
tion. Crowd, of people outside the m.n-
Utry of the Interior, where the cabinet
council was held, loudly cheered the min
isters.
The cabinet ordered the minister of Jus
tice. M. Barren, lo lay before the cout
of cassation liie petition of Madame Drey
fus for a revision of her husband . case.
The court therefore will decide the legal
question as to whether the first trial of
Dreyfus waa visited by the forgery com
m;ttetl by the lute Lieutenant-Colonel
Henry.
The cabinet meeting waa prolonged and
animated. The minister of agriculture, M.
Vlger, Is reported to have bitterly opposed
a revision and it is rumored he will re
sign. It is supposed Instructions to
prosecute, anyone attacking the army
were Issued, at the request of (Jeneral
Chunotne. The city Is excited and the
boorse Is In a disturbed condition. The
conservative papers, howecr, couusel tne
people lo remain calm. It Is doubtful If
the action' or the cabinet is popular
among the masses, especially the com
mon ieople. who still cling to the fetich
of the honor of the army."
In Intransigeant today Henri lUchcIurt
accused Major Esterhuzy of having been
bribed by a so-called Dreyfus syndicate to
'Vorr himself with dishonor by confess
ing a forgery, of which charge he was
twice acquitted."
ltochefort adds that ho paid Esterh.ixy
ltu francs for copies of all documents in
the case, and that in addition with two
other newspaper men he paid Esterhazy,
who was without funds. M francs
monthly, to prevent hlra from dying from
hunger while waiting to obtain a pens on.
Continuing, Kochefort says:
"Ilevently, without any apparent Incen
tive. Esterhuzy mysteriously went to
der which she wasdback odcrre cmfwypf
London, ubandoiitng the 3uv francs
monthly. Why this emigration? Who
paid for the Journey? With what money
has Estcrhaxy paid for his meals?"
M. Clemencruu, In Aurore, remarks:
"Franco is divided into two camps,
those who conceive that the Interests ot
the country depend on the concealment
of facts by l.cs, and those who have suf
ficiently high esteem for tho country to
separate enthusiasm from the aspirations
of Justice und truth."
Libre Parole asserts that Esterhuzy tel
egraphed to the minister of war prjtest
Int against the story published In the
Observer, of Loudon, purporting to be a
confession made by the major, the sub
stance of which was that he was the
author of tho bordereau, the document
which Is said to have furnished proof of
tho gu.lt of Dreyfus.
SULLIVAN UEST3 SOLLY SMITH.
NEW YORK. Sept. 26. Duve Sullivan,

geles, feather-weights, met tonight at the
(Jrealer New York Athletic club for a
2i-round bout. The bout was stopped
ut the end of the fifth round by the ref
eree, who awarded the honors to Sullivan.
During the second round Smith broke his
left arm neur the wrist.
SPANISH INFLUENCES FOREVER
WIPED OUT IN CUBA.
General Nunez Says What Is Wanted Is
American Ideas, Customs and Form
of Government.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Press from Washington says:
A statement was given out today by
Goneral Nunez, the Cuban commander,
refuting the story that the Cubans were
In league with the Spanish and against
the Americans. He says:
I will be one of the first to pardon the
Spaniards for what they have done to the
Cubans and forgive them us men. but
would be the last to pardon or forgive
the atrocities of Weyler, Valtnlredo and
others to the extent of ever allowing
thotto partisans to havo a hand In the po
litical affairs of Cuba.
"We are willing that they should assim
ilate with Cubans and, after receiving
naturalization papers, ally themselves
with any of the political parties which
may spring up in Cuba, but we can never
accept the Spaniards as a party.
"To attempt to prohibit the American
people from exercising an influnce In the
ultolrs of Cuba, would be foolish and sub
cldal for Cubans. American Influence
far from being harmful, Is Just what Is
wanted iii Cuba. Cuba desires to become
a republic. Why. then, should her citi
zens not accept the advice and aid of a
republic In organizing and reconstruct
ing her government? We have been
domlated by the Spanish Influence for 400
years, but we now want to be American
In our Ideas, customs and form of govern
ment. In addition to that there Is cap-
Hal In America. Hpln ha. none, and
what Cuban, want at thl. time I. capital
to develop our resources.
"In my opinion the destiny of Cuba Is
plainly outlined, and It would be foolish
to setjurstrata from America. Th con
gress of tha United Hlates and democrtlc
aplnt Is also for absolute liberty. Pro
tected In tha enjoyment of thl. right, it
I. our duty to go about organizing a gov
ernment without loss of time, without
quarreling, and In the same spirit and
manner which has Inaplr.d us alway to
fight for our Independence. "
The radical autonomist deputies In the
colonial house of representative, of Cuba
have signed the following document, a
copy of which ha. been forwarded to
Washington:
"Resolved, That we lubmlt ourselves
without reserve to the .vents which are
belnsr consummated In tha relinquishment
of Hpaln's authority and Jurisdiction over
the Island of Cuba, accepting them at
final toad swearing alleglanca to tha n.w
political tat us. To defend within the
limit, of that status the absolute inde
pendence or tha Island of Cuba. To fos
ter and encourage all movement, whlrb
may have for their purpose the re-estab-
llshment of friendly relation, between
Cuban, and Spaniards.
"To recommend to all autonomies the
cordial endorsement of our platform and
that they should take an active part In
tha politic, of tha Island, but without at
tempting or pretending to exercise a con
trolling Influence or power in the manage
ment of political affairs which logically
and justly belong to those who have al
ways been the constant supporter, of In
dependence, but that wa axe ready and
willing at all time, when we may be
called upon to serve the Interests of Cuba
as oest wa can."
ROBERTSON S GREAT RAFT
HAS PROBABLY BROKEN UP.
Steamer National City Passed Through
Great Quantities of Piling Off Heceta
Head While Coming Up.
There Is now Kttle doubt that the Rob
ertson log raft, which waa towed out of
the Columbia river more than a week
ago, baa broken to pieces, and that the
piles are now drifting aimlessly about off
the coast, a serious danger to navigation.
The news brought last night by the
California ft Oregon Coast Steamship
Company's steam schooner National City,
which arrived at Alnsworth dock from
San Francisco and way ports. Is suffi
cient proof that the fate of the raft has
been settled and that It Is a total loss.
Captain 1. D. Jacobs, master of the Na
tional City, reports that about noon Sat
urday, when In latitude 41:11 north, lorut-
tltuue 121:17 west, which is directly off
Heceta Head, about 13) miles south of the
Columbia river, his steamer passed
through a mass of drifting logs scattered
about In all directions. The weather at
this time was fine, but a heavy swell was
rolling. Judging from the grvat number
of logs, Captain Jacobs firmly believes
that the raft is a total loss. Nothing was
seen of the Progresso, the steamer which
took the logs In tow off the Columbia.
Telegram.
i. hen the Astorian published the fact
that the raft had struck on Clatsop gp.t,
the bulkhead giving way nd two of the
after chains parting. It waa referred to as
a "yellow Journal," and the story was
branded us a fake. The Telegram was
one of the first of tho papers to arrive at
this conclusion. The new. brought by the
National City demonstrates beyond a
doubt thut the raft has met disaster. The
fact Is. It began btvuk.ng off the Coulra
Ma, and the parting of the chain, made
it impossible for the boom to live In the
open sea. It has been contended that the
raft went to piece, further down the
coast, this view be.ng taken because of
the statement of the officers of
the steumshlp Columbia that they
sighted tho raft and It was Intact.
Such a contention is ridiculous. From
the time the raft put to sea until the day
the Columb.a passed It the weather was
very severe, the wind at times having at
tained a velocity of j miles an hour.
Since that day the weather has been tine,
it is possible, of course, that the raft may
have lived through the gale, and found
ered In fair weather, but it Is not at all
likely.
Mr. Robertson, owner of the raft,( was
on the sound when It was taken to sea.
Ho was notified that It had siruck on
Clatsop spit, and that It had broken up.
It Is remarkable,, to say the least, that if
the raft really did get far down the coast
In safety. Its owner should have been
told a different story.
When tho Progresso arrives at San
Francisco the mystery will be cleared up.
M INTYRE'S TRIAL BEGUN.
