It. The Accused MiuiV Dramatic Demand on the Former Min ister or War Mercier's Statement of the imminence of War With (iermany Ridiculed In llcrlin. Rexxes, Fr.mco, Aug. 14. Two rueu ambushed Maitre Labori, counsel for Dreyfus, aud one shot was fired, hitting Labori in the bacK. M. Labcri fell in the roadway. He is still alive. Maitre Lattori left his house aloue for the court at about 6 o'clock this morn ing. His residence is situated iu the suburbs of the town, about a quarter of an hour's walk from the Lycee, the route being along a solitary road beside the river Vilaine. He had reached a point half way on his journey, when two men, who had evidently been lying iu wait for him, rushed out of a narrow lane and one of them fired a single shot from a revolver. The murderers wero only a couple of yards behind their victim and the bul let struck Maitre Labori in tho back. The wounded man uttered an agonized cry and fell flat on his face. The mur derers immediately fled through the lane from which they had emerged aud lioth escapeo. About 7:'J0 o'cIock it was announced that tho bullet had entered the stomach; that there was no outward bleeding, and that tlie physicians believe that M. Labori will die from the wound. A later story has it that M. Labori was shot in tho temple by a man who fired a icvolver at him outside the court, aud that the miscreant was ar rested. Bexnes, France, Aug. 14. The Drey fus courtmartial was resumed today. In view of tho confrontation of Merrier by Casimir-Perier, when tho former will virtually be in the prisoner's dock, a dramatic scene will likely occur. It is understood that even a more thrilling incident "than that which ended Saturday's session was expected by the counsel of Dreyfus and would have occurred but for General Mercier's prudence. Dreyfus intended aud had actually declared his deteimination to Hap Mercier's face before the whole court, if he brought up tho story of the relations of Dreyfus with Mme. B., who, some newspapers have, asserted, acted as go-between lor Dreyfus and the at tache to whom lie is alleged to have mauo treasonable revelations. Mercier abstained from all reference to the story, but despite this, the people iu the court thought for a moment tnat Dreyrus was about to strike Mercier, until a captain of gendarmes took him gently by the arm and pushed him back into his stat. Mercier, minister of war when Drey fus was condemned, had spoken .nearly four hours in ruthless denunciation of Dreylus, who had listened unmoved un til Mercier concluded by saying that if ne uaa not ceen convinced ot the guilt of Dreyfus, and if the hitter's convic tion had not been fortified tince 1S'.)4, he would admit he had been mistaken. Dreyfus jumped to his feet and shouted "tnat is what you ought to say." 'lhe audeuce hurst into a wild cheer, whereupon the ushers called for silence, But wheu Mercier replied that he would admit Dreyfus was innocent if there was any douut, the prisoner shouted agam: " Why don't you then ': That is your duty." At this there was another outburst of applause. M. Casimir-Perier then rose and dramatically demanded to be con fronted with General Mercier in order to deny some of his statements. Colonel Jouaust ordered the court to be adjourned" until today at 0:30 a. m. for tho confrontation, and as Mercier turned to leave the court the audience rose enmasse and hissed and cursed him, those at the back of the court standing on chairs aud benches in order to better hound him down. Tho gend armes placed themselves between the general and the audience, who showed a strong disposition- to maltreat the former minister of war. General ai'ercier hurried out of the courtroom through a side door, amid fierce denunciations from the audience. M. Casimir-Perier said that neither he nor tho cabinent saw the dossier till a fortnicht after the condemnation of Dreyfus. "For the honor of the magistracy and the honor of France," tlie ex-president added, "I feel compelled to speak tlie truth iu defense of au innocent man." This declaration M. Casimir-Perier uttered in a vibrant voice, rising' till it broke with emotion. Thercwus an outburst of applause iu the courtroom. The president threat ened to clear the court if tlie demon stration was repeated. M. CaMinir-Perier proceeded with his testimony, occasionally referring to a pauer which he held to refresh his memory as to a date, but speaking with out hesitation. He said that one motive for 'lis resignation of tho presidency was the ignorance in which he had been kept regarding the Dreyfus affair. He reiterated that he had sworn to the truth. He denied there was danger of war with Germany over the Dreyfus itd'uir. He 'also denied that Captain Lebruu-Renanld had ever communi cated to him a confession alleged to have been made b- Dreyfus. Mercier's testimony was mostly a weary, endless defense of himself, au argument of the whole case over again, without one word of proof against Drey fus. He rehearsed tho whole affair from his own point of viow, but made one of the two sensatioual points. Tho first was when he says Perier had not told llio wliolo story of tho diplomatic inci dent; that lie, Mercier, was so certain that Germany was about to dcclaie war that he kept Boisdetfre aud hundreds of officers nearly all night at. tho war of fice, ready to concentrato the whole Freudi army at strategic points. Verier wiggled iu his seat and waved ins luiiul in objection. Tho uudienco received this with mtirmurs of incredu lity. Mercier.had it that matters wore so urgent aud dangerous that he dared not openly publish the documents he held, but sent them privately to the courtmartial for their inspection. This statement was received with loud, coutemptnons murmurs. It was his excuse for furnishing the judges with tlie secret dossitr uukuown to the accused. Casimir-Perier. had cut this ground from uur him and his excuse had failed. He rallied, however, with a most sensational statement:' "I know that General Jamout -has said that IJo.OOO.OOO francs wero sent from Ger inauy to assist the cause of Dreyfus." Tiiis was uufjuestionabiy sensational, but it was yke a boulevard canard, so feeble iu its form if hearsay gossip in stead of business-like evidence that it only produces, "oh! oh! oh!" of con tempt and murmurs of derision. Mercier's discourse was simply a long argument, interrupted by the reading of many letters. He concluded with the impressively stated conviction that the court of cassation was wrong; that fe-Y MAITKE LABORL Esterhazy could not have written the bordereau; that Dreyfus alone knew the facts; that Dreyfus alone was guilty. Berlin, Aug. 14. The statements ol General Mercier before the courtmartial at Renues regarding the imminence oi war .between Germany and France ex cites ouly ridicule hero. The general opinion is that the former war minister onght now to be judged from a patho logical view point. The semi-official newspapers declare that there was never auy idea of war and that, even had Count von Munster, the German ambassador in Paris, been recalled, a charge d'affaires would have been empowered to hurry on the em bassy business.

He has been at the head of af fidrs only about 11 days, yet this has been suthcieut to show his methods and wie iniiueuce wliicn ins vigorous per sonality exerts throughout the military establishment. irom Adjucant General Corbin he secured data showing at a glance a broad outline of the arnry in the field, fjrom the quartermaster general ho learned the nnmber of transports, their capacity, readiness to carry troops and the exact status of stores, clothing aud equipment, particularly as to General Otis forces in front of the enemy. Of tho commissary general he asked just how many reasons were in actual stock at Manila, how long this supply would last, how quickly it could be replen ished and whether there was ample margiu for oveiy emergency. The same information has been drawn as to ordnance, medical and hospital supplies, engineering and signal equipment. A military map is now being prepared by the adjutant general's office, for the private use of the secretary, showing tho advance of our forces from.day to day throughout General Otis' cam paign, the position and movements ou different occasions, the retreat of the enemy aud its position aud force from time io time. Tne secretary has conferred with the commanding general, General Miles, and with General -Merritt on the mili tary problems presented, and, besides the military results of these counsels, it has established co-operation between the executive head of the war department ud the ranking officers of the army. Concerning Cuba and Porto Rico, the detailed administration of their affairs, with its multitude of minor issues, is Icing left largely with his assistants and chiefs, and he is concerning him self with the larger questions of the re construction and fntnre of these isl ands, and with the substitution of orderly civil government for the lnili fciry regime now in force. When for mer Premier Rivera urged that au order be speedily issued for municipal elections in Porto Rico, tlie secretary replied rhat he hoped these elections would occur as soon as the present un happy and stormswept condition of the islaud would permit. When it was suggested that the desolation in Porto Rico made it opportune a remission of duties ou articles of prime necessity, the secretary said he was already con ferring with General Davis, governor general of the island, as to that step.

Howover active the trade may have been on tho west coast of Pauaj formerly, I am of the opinion that the iusureuts aro mainly occupied in throwiufr troops into Nefjros "and Leyte Irom Southwest Imzon and Pamiy, and General Hughes is of the same opinion. "With the intention of breaking up this tratlic, tho Samar lias been sent out with the cruising orders communicated to yon in my cipher telegram of tho 12th iust. "Tho manner iu which Ensign Mac Farlaud oxercUes his com maud is ex tremely satisfactory, lie is ready, en ergetic and makes no requests except for coal and water. "It is very desirable tho springs tele graphed for shonld be supplied at once for the Samar's Nordenfoldts, but in the meantimo Ensign MacFarland has made what ho rejKU-ts as satisfactory tem porary arrangements, aud he appears to nave a genius for making things work."
