JIMINEZ IN CUSTODY
LEADER OF SANTO DOMINGO REV
OLUTION ARRESTED. -
CAPTURED AT CIENFUEGOS
Military Authorities Find Jiminez on a
Steamer about to Leave for the Do
minican Republic Government
Has Armed Vessels Protecting
Coast to Intercept Revolutionist.
Havana, August 19. —In view of the
fact that the chief of police persisted
in the declaration that Jiminez was in
Havana, the military authorities tele
graphed Clenfuegos instructing the col
lector of customs there to ascertain
whether Jiminez was on the steamer
Menendez and if so to arrest him.
Just as the steamer was leaving Cien
fuegos the collector located Jiminez
and arrested him. Jiminez will be un
der police charge until further advices
are received from the governor gener
al. ,There is much excitement among
the people of Cienfuegos over the af
fair. The sentiment is generally ex
pressed that the authorities had no
right to arrest Jiminez, an unarmed
citizen, going apparently to Sanitago
de Cuba. The point is made that
even if he were going to Santo Domin
go he would only be returning to his
native country.
To Intercept Jiminez.
Kingston, Jamaica, August 19. —The
advices from Santo Domingo say the
government is apprehensive of the ar
rival of Jiminez. His arrival, it was
added, will completely turn popular
opinion which has been partly undecid
ed. Consequently the chief object of
the government is to intercept Jiminez
and a number of armed vessels are
patrolling the coast with orders to
search every strange vessel and cap
ture Jiminez under any flag, armed or
not.
To Enforce Neutrality.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 19. —The
Dominican agents are rapidly recruit
ing expeditions in this part of the isl
and, particularly on the north coast.
It is certain that several expeditions
have been able to get away without
any interference, but Gen. Wood, mili
tary governor, has determined to do
all in his power to enforce neutrality.
HOW MEN CARRY MONEY.
To the initiated, a man's nationality
is betrayed by the way the carries his
money. The Englishman carries his
loose in his right hand trousers’ pocket
—gold, silver and copper all mixed up
together. He pulls a handful of the
mixture out of his pocket in a large,
opulent way and selects the coin he has
need of.
The American carries his wad of bills
in a peculiar, long, narrow pocketbook.
in which the greenbacks lie flat. Tbe
Frenchman makes use of a leather
purse, with no distinguishing char
acteristics. while the Germans use one
gaily embroidered in silks by the fair
hands of some Lottchen or Mina.
The half civilized capitalits from
some torrid South American city car
ries his dollars in a belt, with cunning
ly devised pockets to baffle the gentle
men with the light fingers. Some of
these belts are very expensive.
The Italian of the poorer classes ties
up his little fortune in a gaily colored
handkerchief secured with many knots,
which he secretes in some mysterious
manner about his clothes.
A similar course has charms for the
Spaniard, while the lower class Rus
sian exhibits a preference for his boots
or the lining of his clothes as a hiding
place for his savings.
THE TRIAL RESUMED

ESTERHAZY MAY TESTIS^
w' ‘
v
Robust Rumor Afloat That Fppg er of
Bordereau Will Appear Court
at Rennes —Col. Gives
Some Very FavorabUgf Testimony
for the Accused. Jp
Rennes, / 19. —The Dreyfus
trial was ref this morning at 6:45
o’clock. witness was Capt.
Cugnet, de camp at the ministry
of war, io was commanded by Gener
al year to classify and ar
rang^the different documents involved
in /he Dreyfus, Esterhazy and Picquart
jrfiairs. He declared he was thorough
ly convinced of the guilt of the ac
cused.
Esterhazy May Testify.
Paris, Ang. 19. —A rumor with all the
ear marks of being based on truth is
in circulation to the effect thai after
ail Esterhazy will go to Rennes to tes
tify. He is the man who confessed to
having written the bordereau upon
which the prosecution’s case almost
wholly rests. Esterhazy said he pre
pared the document at the order of his
superiors in the army and complained,
after he had lied to London where he
is now, that they deserted him. The
government has guaranteed Esterhazy
immunity from arrest. He of course
would make the most sensational wit
ness of the entire trial.
A strict blockade has been estab
lished in Rue de Cbarbrol and the au
thorities this morning began a regular
siege of the building in which Guerin
and his anti-Semite colleagues have
intrenched themselves.
Mrs. Crawford's Summary.
Rennes, Aug. 19. —(Mrs. Emily Craw
ford on Dreyfus t-ial) —It was a severe
blow to the military set when the
Schneider dispatch was made known
Friday morning. Gen. Mercier’s man
ner was victorious as he handed the
alleged letter of Schneider to the pres
ident of the court martial to be filed
with other papers. These generals at
Rennes have no standing counsels to
advise them. They show forensic
ability in making speeches, but lack
lawyer-like prudence. Any advocate
would have felt how risky it was to
dwell on such a document as an inter
cepted letter from a military attache,
especially in view of the forgeries with
which the secret dossier teems.
That he believed in the authenticity of
the document and pinned his faith to
it is now laughed at. His best friends
call him a donkey. His enemies re
joice that he has thrown fa't into the
fire. He lookeu depressed and out of
countenance yesterday. So did Gen.
Roget, who is a strong man notwith
standing the tears he shed at the close
of his deposition Thursday. Both were
tired and pale throughout yesterday.
Col. Picquart was again a witness.
He was allowed to sit in an arm chair
with which the general’s had been ac
commodated. Col. Piequart’s figure is
younger than his face. He is clean
built, lithe, tall, graceful and very
pleasant and besides his diction is
good. His arrangement of arguments
is cumulative. The presiding judge
often begged him not to be so diffuse,
not to speak so much about his own
concerns. Col. Picquart only spoke of
his own concerns in order to prove
himself a creditable witness. The
Dreyfusites greatly fear for Picquart’s
life.
Glorot, who claims to be tne man
who attempted to assassinateM. Labori,
was brought to Rennes last evening.
Cols. Picquart, Gast and others, who
saw the would-be assassin, declare
Glorot is not the right man. The pris
oner has written a letter to the police
making an alleged confession glorify
ing himself for the crime. The doctors
say he is insane.
President Jouaust treated Col. Pic
quart disdainfully, in marked contrast
with the deference displayed toward
Gens. Mercier and Roget. This is
evidence of partiality and the fact that
by acquitting Dreyfus the court-mar
tial would virtually convict its su
periors leads many people to believe he
will be recondemned. If he is ac
quitted, it will have been Picquart who
saved him.
At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon Drey
fus’ wife called upon him. She spends
a couple of hours daily with him with
out restrictions of any kind. M. De
mange arrives daily at 4:30 in the af
ternoon and remains until 7 o’clock
discussing the progress of the case.
During the remainder of the time
Dreyfus reads. He retires about 9:30
o’clock. He retains good spirits and
expresses confidence that he will be ac
quitted. Dreyfus believes Labori will
be able to return to the active work of
the defense Monday.
