PARIS, June 5.-The scenes at Auteuil
on Sunday and in the chamber c!" deputies
today have only had the effect of
increasing' the jopulariiy of President
Loubet and of strengthening the hands
of th<? government. The promptitude of
the premier, M. Dupuy, in carrying out
hi? promise to take meavjies to Insure
justice as soon as the court of cassation
bad pronounced judgment is regarded i'.s
proof that he himself can show a clean
biil, and although he wad premier at the
tii.it, Geu. Mercier kept him ignorant of
the measures adopted against Dreyfus.
Interviews with various high personages
who witnessed the incident at Auteuil
yesterday are published this morning, all
testifying to the savagery of the dem
onstration. It is asserted that although
the price of admission to the paddock was
20 francs, this was full of coachmen,
footmen and valets, evidently sent there
to create a disturbance.
Countess Lourmti, wife of the Italian
ambassador to France, was sitting on M.
l.oubefs left during the affuir, and he
a.'keel her whether she intended to stay.
She rtplied:
"Certainly, Monsieur le President, am 1
not in the place or" honor?"
Capt. Baratier, of the Alarchand mis
sion, attracted considerable attention to
himself during the affair, and was pub
licly kissed by Duchesse d'Uzes.
Among those arrested whose names
have not hitherto been cabled are Comte
Fromsen, Vicomte Combe and Comte
Moustlers Merinvllle.
M. Lemercier, the examining magis
trate, tonight began the interrogation of
those under arrest for participating in
yesterday's rioting. Ten. including M.
de Panissapassy, have been provisional
ly released. About fifteen will be prose
cuted on the charge of rebellion, for
■which the punishment is five years' im
prisonment.
The charge against Comte Christiano
is of assaulting a magistrate while in the
exercise of his functions, an offense
punishable by imprisonment from two to
five years.
CABINET ACTS PROMPTLY.
The ministers met this morning, Pres
ident Loubet in the chair, and decided
to femove the advocate general, M Lom
bart, and the minister of justice, M Le
Bret, was directed to begin proceedings
against M. Tardiff, president of the as
sizes court, before the council of mag
istracy, for the way in which they con
ducted the case against MM. Deroulede
and Marcel-Habert, who were acquitted
V\ ednesday last of the charge of inciting
soldiers to insubordination at the time
of the election of President Loubet.
The cabinet did not arrive at any de
cision respecting Gens, de Boisdeffre and
Gonse, pending the result of the inquiry
regarding Dv Paty de Clam.
The prefect of police, M. Blanc has
ordered the closure of the Automobile
Club de France, of which the Count de
Dion, who was one of the ringleaders
at Auteil yesterday, is president. A po
lice commissary thereupon proceeded to
the club's premises on the Place de la
Concord, and cleared the members out,
after which he affixed seals on the doors
Vigorous measures have been taken to
suppress demonstrations. Mounted de
tachments of republican guards have
been stationed about the Place de la Con
ccrd, in the Rue de l'Elysee, and in the
Rue dcs Tuilerles.
VIOLENT SCENES.
There were violent scenes in the cham
ber of deputies this afternoon, owing to
royalist denunciations of President Lou
bet, and the soldiers on duty had to expel
the chief anti-Loubet speaker, M. Rious
de Largentaye.
The chamber of deputies met at 2
o'clock this afternoon. The public gal
leries were crowded with fashionable
people, including many ladles in pretty
toilettes who used their fans vigorously
on account of the heat. The galleries of
the senators and diplomats were also
full. There was a large and early at
tendance of deputies who animatedly dis
cussed the incidents of yesterday. Pre
mier Dupuy and the minister of justice,
M. Lebret, sat on the ministerial bench.
M. La Loge, who moved the interpella
tion, rose at 2:25 p. m. and said the hour
of action had struck. (Cheers from the
Leftists and murmurs from the Rightists,
and a bable of cries in which MM. Cas
sagnac and Lassies, anti-Semites, par
ticipated).
M. La Loge asked the premier if he
had been warned beforehand of yester
day's demonstration. He then eulogized
President Loubet, who, he said, under
took the presidency in a time of stress.
(Loud applause.)
M. Rlous de Largentaye, Conservative,
representing the Second division of Dl
nan, Cotes dv Nord, shouted: "Loubet
is not honest; he is a Panamaist."
This statement called forth violent pro
tests and shouts of order, but M. de Lar
gentaye persisted In spite of the uproar
in declaring honest men were arrested
yesterday. This was followed with shouts
of "Down with Loubet," and a scene of
wild excitement ensued. The Leftists
shouted at the top of their voices: "Cen
sure, with temporary exclusion."
President Deschanel ordered M. de Lar
gentaye to withdraw, but the latter re
fused and the session was suspended, the
deputies being requested to withdraw in
or.ler that M. de Largentaye be expelled.
When the order was given for the ex
pulsion of M. de Largentaye the com
manding officer on duty at the Palais Bour
bon entered the chamber with a squad of
soldiers and requested M. de Largentaye
to withdraw. . The latter waited until
many of his colleagues had left the
house, then rose and walked out, escorted
by the soldiers. There was cheering and
counter-cheering when M. de Largentaye
appeared in the corridor. The sitting
was then resumed. M. La Loge asked
what measures the government Intended
to take in the future, and the premier
replied that after yesterday's Incidents
his first step was to address a respectful
fj)g $1 fattl iluk
greeting to the nation's elect and to "the
firm dtisen .who was and who remains
the guaranty of republican communion."
(Cheers.)
ROYALISTS EXCORIATED.
Premier Dupuy said: "The representa
tives of eleganco and good taste have
given us an idea of what France may
expect from their idleness and indolence.
We knew secret meetings had taken
Place, and that preparations were made
for demonstrations. We took measures !
for the president s protection in driving
to and from the race course, and nothing
occurred on the way."
Here a royalist deputy cried out: "You
hid him."
M. Dupuy retorted: "No, your friends
hid behind the women."
Protests from the Rightists followed and
M. l.asslos, anti-Semite, cried: "Loubet
and Delcasse (the minister of foreign
affairs) hid behind policemen."
This statement was followed by an up
roar lasting several minutes. M. Dupuy
continued:
"We stationed police at the paddock
with orders to intervene immediately in
case of a demonstration, and did so,
though the met with much opposition and
protects. I assume all responsibility. '
"You have the evil eye," cried M. Las
sies, a remark which caused laughter.
M. Dupuy continued: "AH the police did
their duty and an Individual threw him
self on the president of the republic, who
remained calm. The proceedings at Au
teuii were all the more disgusting be
en use they occurred in the presence of
foreign representatives. The persons who
have been arrested will be examined by
a magistrate, who will decide whether
there is a conspiracy. We are satisfied
the accused are members of clubs which
the government has decided to close.
Yesterday's demonstrators pretend to
represent France in the army, but the
public are against them. We are sup
porters of the republic and republicans
who do not mix with those who are only
borrowed in name In order to better de
stroy her. They have given us a counter
sign we intend to uphold. If you give us
your confidence we shall know how to
defend our institutions from those who
attack them." (Applause.)
HINT OF REVOLUTION.
Here M. de Cassagnac, Conservative, In
terjected:
"The country is sick of the republic.
As to the affair which has divided the
nation and families, it will weigh heavily
against you. The stories current in re
gard to the measures which you propose
against the generals—"
"A certain amount of courage," ex
claimed the premier, "is required to do
what we propose.'"
"To drag before a high court," retorted
M. Cavaignac (the former, minister of
war), "your former colleague. You have
cause to close the clubs,,for the nation
is awakening and is only awaiting the
right man." (Applause.)
After further debate M. Meline and his
supporters moved the order of the day,
approving the government's action. An
order of the day was accepted by the gov
ernment stigmatizing the occurrence at
Auteuil and approving the declarations of
the government. It was tarried without a
division, after the first part" had been
adopted by a vote of 513 to 32, and the
second part had been voted by 326 to 123.
GEN. MERCIER GETS A STAY.
A heated discussion afterwards occurred
over the prosecution of . Gen. ■ Mercier
in the midst of which M. Lasies sug
gested the impeachment of the premier
and -violently; criticised : those c who were
"persecuting" Gen. Mercier, which the
deputy declared was a maneuver made
to lnfluenc the court-martial .at
Rennes. \--. Finally the* chamber voted to
adjourn the appointment of the com
mission -of Inquiry into the conduct of
Gen. Mercier until after the court-mar
tial at Rennes. •;/-'" ' \i'.'.~ '."■:■: ■ •*
The Leftists moved . that the verdict of
the r court of cassation -,; be' placarded
everywhere In France, and M. Jourde
; Socialist, admitted that he ■ had been 1
mistaken about: the * Dreyfus affair and
had reparation. to make. He added he
was surprised that M. • Cavaignac had
not proceeded him to the tribunal, which
: caused the latter to say: ,';>^.T*^ •
"I ; have already made reparation by
discovering and making known the error
committed." ■ . ■- . : -*ir-r.
M. Brissbn said: •■'
"The cabinet I presided over was un
fortunate enough to cause to be pla
carded a speech containing misstate
ments. I ask "the chamber vote the
placarding of the" verdict of the court
of cassation." . ■:•' :--. •
The premier did not oppose the pla
carding of the verdict, which was adopted
by a vote of 317 to 212.
The municipal, council this afternoon
discussed . the Auteuil . affair, . and .M.
Blanc, prefect of police, announced that
. fifty of ' those under arrest ■ would be
prosecuted ■ for insulting ; the president.
He animadverted severely upon the cow
ardice of Count Christiano, who now pre
tends that he struck the president by
accident in his attempt to escape from
the melee. -• ; .•'..-,;■,.".... ...
•The council unanimously adopted a res

DEFINES HIS POLICY,
Probable Speaker Henderson la
Drawn Into an Admission,
MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 6.—ln an
interview Col. D. B. Henderson, of lowa,
expresses gratitude for the effective ef
forts of Wisconsin congressmen In his
behalf as candidate for speaker in the
national congress to succeed Speaker
Reed. In regard to the report that he is
an anti-imperialist and with reference to
other like matters, Col. Henderson said
that now is not the time for individuals
to fix policies.
"See where we are," said Col. Hender
son, "and then see whether it is reason
able for us to attempt to anticipate the
conditions which time brings. Here we
are on June 5 in a period of transition
and readjustment, and congress will not
meet until next December—unless, which
is not likely, there should be a special
session—and we should not attempt to
forestall future action with the light of
developments may show to be advan
tageous and proper. What we all should
do at this time is to stand steadfastly
in support of President McKinley. As
the chief executive he is in possession of
hourly acquired information as wto the
ever-changing conditions. This he, in
time, will give over to us, I have no
doubt, and in the meantime I believe it
the duty of us all to give him our firm,
loyal support. That Is all I care to say—
in fact I have said more than I had in
tended faying."

LEDGE SOLID GOLD.
Remarkable Discovery Is Reported
by Two Oregon Miner*. ' '■. ".
PORTLAND, . Or., .1 June '- s.—Joseph
Walsh and J Edward . Burke,: who; have
grown' gray prospecting in Oregon, ■ say
they have at last struck - a bonanza in
Josephine county. y, They ;j found ; a mine
little more than a month ago, and Its lo
cation is known only to themselves. They
came here yesterday en route to Ban
Francisco to arrange ' for a ten-stamp
mill. •■
They have with them $30,000, which they
claim to have taken from a depth of less
than a foot on their location. Walsh
states that within the short time Blnoe
he and his partner struck their mino
they have dug a Bhaft about twenty
feet, at which depth they found a well
defined quartz ledge, or rather god edge,
as the deposit contains 80 per clent gold.
"I believe it to be the richest thing
ever unearthed on this" coast," remarked
Walsh. '"There is enough gold in sight
to make multi-millionaires of both of us."
He added that with * hand mortar alone
there would be no difficulty in two men
pounding out $10,000 a day.
Walsh, who is now sWty-five years old,
was working near Alvinza Hayward'B
great mine in Amador county, California,
when Hay ward struck It rich. Hay
ward's luck did riot light upon him a
moment too soon, because a few days be
fore he struck the bt& body of ore he
could no longer* obtain-'credit for a sack
of flour.
Walsh and Burke were In a similar fix
when they found their bonanza. The
joint capital was ddwn to Jess than $3,
and they were without prospect of obtain
ing work.

His appearance was the signal for the
gathering of relatives and friends of
those whom'he formerly persecuted. The
excitement continued throughout the day
MRS. MAYBRICK, WHO MAY SO ON BE RELEASED FROM PRISON,
' ■ ' A "' — ' ' ' ' * - ■' . ' J
American women—and ■ men,, too —by
the tens of thousands will find "pleasure In
in the report that Mrs. Florence May
brick may soon be released, from the
English prison, whose doors shut behind
her ten years ago. It would be hard, in
deed, to find a convicted person, and
one, too, convicted for such • a crime as
the murder of a husband,- for whom such
general sympathy has arisen and whose
fate has excited such widespread senti
mental interest. A petition signed by 503,
--000 persons, resulted In the commutation
of Mrs. Maybrlck's sentence from death
to life Imprisonment, and since then ef
forts on a great scale have been inter
mittently made to secure her complete
pardon. The center of all -the efforts has
been among American women, who have
never for a moment beUeved that Mrs.
Maybrick was guilty of the crime charged
and last n!ght. About midnight a crowd
surrounded the house where he was, and
began to threaten him. He attempted to
escape, and, on meeting the demonstra
tors, emptied his revolver, wounding two
persons. The crowd closed in and cap
tured him, and he was lynched in tliu
public square.
The anxiety following the excitement
caused a commission of Spaniards to
come to Havana yesterday to ask the in
terference of Gen. Brooke. He could not
receive them before a late hour of the
evening, but he readily offered to send
a detachment of American soldiers to the
town. The commission, which left San
Antonio before lynching, returned to find
La Bregat dead.
Col. Figuerro, of the Cuban cavalry In
Havana province, in a communication to
I.a Lucha, passionately appeals to the
soldiers who were mustered out last week
to refuse to give up their arms and ac
cept the American gratuity. Tie de
nounces those who act contrary to such
advice as "cowards" and "voluntary out
casts." Ho says:
"The offer made by the United States
insults the honor of the army of libera
tion, which did not desert its posts even
In the terrible battlefield and disgraces
the graves of soldiers who died covered
with glory. I do not doubt the sincerity
of the American promises, but if this
money is presented as a gift, why do not
the Americans purchase plows and oxen
with it, Instead of insisting upon the de
livery of our arms. Guard, therefore, the
flag, which will be mine through life, and
guarded by my sabre, which will be un
sheathed until the declaration of our Inde
pendence or until the necessity arises for
returning a Titanic Btroke."
TO PROTECT ANIMALS.
Although the laws of this city prohibit
ing cruelty to animals are perhaps suf
ficiently explicit and comprehensive. It
now seems that either through the Igr
norance or apathy of the police arrests
of offenders are seldom made, though In
stances of cruelty frequently come un
der the eyes of the authorities. Ameri
cans who are anxious to see established
here a branch of the Society for Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals have recently
discussed the matter with the civil gov
ernor, Gen. Ruiz Rivers, the mayor,
Senor Perfecto la Coste, and other
prominent Cubans, as well as with MaJ.
(Jen. Ludlow, and all are agreed that a
branch office could do excellent work
here under existing laws if certain lo
calities had agents with power to make
arrests and with the disposition to Inter
est the public generally in enforcing the
law. Under the present law any citizen
is authorized to order the police to make
an arrest for a specific and patent act .of
cruelty, and the officer so ordered miiet
obey, under penalty of dismissal for re
fusing. "Very few people, however, are
aware that this is allowed and the prin
cipal end sought by the organizer* of
the reform is to make the general pub
lic acquainted with Its right in this re
spect.

ty-seven- y«ars old, and her native place
is Mobile, Ala. When seventeen years old
she met and married James Maybrick, a
man of previous fast life, and still ad
dicted to stimulants and drugs. He w?.s
known to be an arsenic fiend. In 1889,
after exposure on a race track, he be
came sick and died. Mrs. Maybrick was
arrested. Doctors testigfied that her hus
band's death was not due to arsenical
poisoning, and there was no evidence
to show that Mrs. Maybrick had bought
arsenic, though there was much to show
that Mr. Maybrick personally used it.
Yet she was • convicted. Now there is
hope that the vigorous efforts of Joseph

have given rise to all sorts of rumors,
and today it is. believed that the presi
dent called in the adjutant general and
other officials for the purpose of prepar
ing to comply with- the suggestion of
Gen. Otis that more soldiers be sent to
Manila. Whatever the dispatches of
Gen. Otis contain, they are not being
made public, and that fact adds to the
general disquietude here. It is predict
ed that a sensation of no meager dimen
sions, in Philippines affairs, is about to
be sprung.
PLOT IS CONFESSED.
Americans Have Been Famishing
PlltplnoH With Guum.
WASHINGTON, June s.—Capt. Joseph
Henry Grimes has made a complete con
fession of the part he took in aiding the
Filipinos, and the document is in the
possession of the government. He is a
British subject, born in Hong Kong, 23
years ago. He was office manager at
Shanghai for L. Seltael & Co., and there
became acquainted with the agents of the
Filipino rebellion. On June 7 Grimes'
firm conracted with Agoneillo to supply
■ 5,000 Mauser rifles, two Maxim guns,
1,000,000 cartridges, the steamer Pasig and
provisions, etc., at a cost of 9138,000. The
outfit was seized by the British, authori
ties at the request of the Spanish consul.
Then, says Grimes, B. F. Sylvester, a
member of his firm, arranged with Ed
ward B«dloe, American consul at Canton,
to send the arms to that point by means
of a false sale to the Chinese govern
ment. The Chinese governor seized 4,500
rifles and kept them to suppress a re
bellion in his territory. The local auttior
tles refusing permission to sail, she was
transferred from British to American
register by Consul Bedloe, the name
changed to The Abbey, and Bedloo
cleared her and the supplies for the Fili
pinos for Singapore.
On Aug. 27 the Abbey, flying the Amer
ican flag and commanded by Capt. G.
G. Ellis, an American citizen, left VVham
poa, fifteen miles from Canton. On board
was Lewis Leonard Etzel, American citi
zen, whose mission it was to teach the
Filipinos how to use the Maxim guns.
Sylvester, Grimes asserts, falsely told
him that the facts about the expedition
were known to Admiral Dewey and Con
sul General Wildman.
The captain put into Santangas. eighty
miles south of Manila, and turned over
the supplies to the insurgent government
of that town. The cargo consisted of
496 rifles, 15,000 cartridges, two Maxim
guns and 2,000 rounds of Maxim ammuni
tion. After discharging the cargo Grimes
went to Bacor, where he met Agulnaldo,
who said he wanted more ammunition.
Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but was
not successful in his further plans. Syl
vester visited Aguinaldo and failed to
conclude a contract with him to procure
arms in Germany.
"It will be seen by the above state
ment," Grimes saya, "that both Sylvester
and Etzel plotted on American soil
against the American government."
The Abbey was seized about Sept. 25
last by the American revenue cutter Mc-
Culloch, which was attached to Admiral
Dewey's flotilla. Grimes was arrested In
Manila on Nov. S.
DRIVEN FROM MOROM..
Another Oofrnt fotr the Filipinos,
With Nine Killed.
MANILA, June s.—Two battalions of
the Washington troops, under CoJ.
Whalley, on board cascoes, were towed
from Paslg to Morong on Sunday and
landed under cover of a well-directed
fire from the "tlnclad" army gunboats
Napidan and Covadonga. The rebels,
who were entrenched in the outskirts of
the town, reserved their fire until the
troops were ashore and in the open. The
American artillery opened fire on the In
surgents and drove them from their po
sitions, killing nine of thorn and wound
ing five. The Washington troops then
took the town, the rebels fleeing to the
hills.
WWle the Americans were on their way
to Morong the insurgents opened fire
from a shore battery at Ancona, the first
shot striking the Covadonga's awning
at a range of 3,500 yards. The Napidan
also was fired at.
