Rennes, Sept. 2.— Dreyfus had th most trying day lie lias yet gone through. The strain proved too great for him and for the second time in the course of the trail he gave way to his feelings and sought relief in |tears. Tiie generals have branded him as a traitor before the court, their subord inates have pointed the finger of scorn at him .

Sept. 4. — A special to the Titues-llerald fiom Washington says: General Fitzhugh Lee lias made an elaboiato report on pievailing condi tions in tiie tetritory in Cuba under his jurisdiction, and takes strong ground tor an independent Cuban gov ernm ent under an American protector ate. Tiie war dep aitm en t in March directed the commanders of depart-' ments in Cuba to make a report on the conditions in their several sections, and to accompany it witli recommen dations as to the tr eatm ent of tiie na tives. General Lee is the only com mander who has so far responded. General Lee begins Iiis report by stating conditions it. Havana and P inar del Rio provinces are making rapid progress towurd a state of peace, good older and prospeiity. He goes into thia in great detail, taking up the sub ject town hy town, and showing a gen- era! improvement throughout the west ern end of tiie island. His report in tills respect is very gratifying, indicat ing as it does tiiat there is not so much suffering from want of food as is often asserted in unofliuial repot ts. Turning to recommendations, G en eral Lee urges the taking of self-gov ernm ent. Geneial Lee thinks th at tiie next steps should be the careful con sideration of tiie question of suffrages for the Cubans. He takes it foi grant ed th at there will be elections by the natives, and he points out the im port ance of wise action in determining tiie qualifications of voteis. He recommends an independent re publican government, with a president, vice-piesideiit and congress. He would have this established soon, and ad vises tiie holding of a general election for the selection of those officers. He says nothing about a constitution, leav ing it to be inferred that he either over looked th a t step or would iiave it left to the Cuban congress to provide after its installation iu office. General Leo evidently foresees that while the United States might provide Cuba w ith a model system of govern ment, the natives would he likely to sjioil it in the administration, and lie lias submitted suggestions for keeping the government machinery running along lines that commend themselves to the American mind. Even after relieving the Cubans in part of American protection, he would have United States troops m aintained in the island to protect Americans and other aliens in tiie enjoym ent of their personal and property rights.
