AN ADJOURNMENT REFUSED.
Unanimously Reject the Application of
Counsel for Dreyfus.
RENNES. Aug. lt-Immedlately af
ter the witnesses had entered the
court room, thl morning, M. Dem
ange. counsel for Dreyfus, applied for
an adjournment on account of M. Lab
orl'i absence. Major Carrier, the
government commissary, unexpectedly
arose and opposed the application In
the moat vehement manner with the
gestures of a stump orator. He read
a certlhcate from Laoons aoctors
which, however, was a weak point, as
It only said It might not be impossible
for Laborl to attend Monday. Major
Carrlero dilated upon the fact that the
entire world was anxiously awaiting
a decision and upon the necessity of
ending the suspense.
The court retired for twenty minutes.
during which time the audience ani
matedly discussed the probable results,
the general Impression being that the
Judges, In view of Major Carriere s
strong oppositions would refuse the
application for adjournment. This
proved to be the case, as Colonel
Jouanste, on his return read an unan
imous decision of the court rejecting
the application on the ground that the
reasons advanced were Insufficient.
Captain Dreyfus listened to the an
nouncement with characteristic com
posure. MEAT ADVANCING IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Aug. I. The general
committee of the Greater New York
Retail Butchers Association met last
night and declled that an advance of
at least three cents per pound In the
price of meat was Imperatively neces
sary to protect retailers against a
heavy loss from the sharp advance ln
wholesale rates. In most retail stores
the advance has already been put Into
operation but the action of the com
mlttee will make It universal.

GREAT DISTRESS CAUSED
BY SAN JUAN HURRICANE.
Storm and Whole Towns Were
Hundreds of People Perished in th
Demolished.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-A despatch
to the Herald from San Juan, says:
Communication with the distressed
districts is still only partly open.
Arovlbo was devasted by the hurri
cane and later was flooded by the Are
clbo and Manatee rivers. Two hun
dred bodies have already been recov
ered and hundreds more are missing.
It Is thought they were swept Into the
sea. ,
The town waa inundated to a depth
of six feot. After the water subsided
the dead were found lying everywhere.
The bodies were buried on the spots
where they were found.
The town Is now rapidly filling up
with starving persons from the coun
try. Only four soldiers were drowned
but all are without rhelter. Captain
McComb and his men did valiant serv
ice ln saving life. Forty persons were
rescued from floating wreckage. A
thousand are hornless and starving.
Moravia I totally destroyed. At Ga
le twenty pernio were killed. M.any
are missing at Barcelonlta. Bevenare

roll I at least ninety.
It Is ImpjsslMe to estimate the loss
of life and property In the country dis
tricts. Every river Is swollen and
passage I well nigh Imposlble. The
crop are totally destroyed. Children
are dying by hundreds from starvation
and exposure.
Ail the people are flocking to Bayamo
for food-an I shelter. A courier ha

storm. Alrsaly 85 bodies have been
recovered and It 1 estimated that ZOO

distress greater Is the fact that a
month ago all public Improvement
were stopped owing to the lack of ap
propriations. Thousand of persons
were thn thrown out of employment
A renewal of public work would be a
great relief. Many planters and mer

show the diastjr to be greater than

TO EXPEDITE SENDING OF
REINFORCEMENTS TO OTIS.
Four Additional Transport Chartered
Dy Secretary Root Columbia

WASHINGTON, Aug-. It-Secretary
Root haa been in consultation with of
ficer of the quartermaster department
today, with th view of expediting the
movement of the Philippine reinforce
ments and as a reult he thl after
noon directed that four additional

They are the Puebla, Belgian King,
Columbia ami the Char lea F. Nelson.
These four ship have a capacity of
2.550 men. The Puebla is now at San
Francisco and the Columbia at Port
land. Oregon. The other two vessels
are expected to arrive at San Francisco
in about ten days, and It la expected
all of them will be ready to sail for
Manila by September 10.
It is Secretary Root' desire that the
entire body of reinforcements for Gen
eral Otis' army may reach the Philip.
pines for service during the month of
October at the least and to that end
he has been quietly negotiating for
additional ships. It Is now believed
that all of the 10 regiments will have
landed at Manila by the time the dry
season opens. A short and successful
campaign of this new army would of
course obviate '.he necessity of sending
any additional volunteers to the Phil
ippine, and the plans under consider'
atlon at the war department are said
to be predicated on that line, It being
the Intention that whatever troop

cessful termination of war with Spain,
but we deprecate the continued war
against the Filipino.
"We also condemn the war against
the Filipinos, believing It to have been
insplr-d by Great Britlan for the pur--pose
of producing conditions that will'
force an Anglo-American alliance, and
we not only protest against the war
and demand Its termination by the ex- .
tension to the Filipino of the a&ma
assurance given to Cubans, but we
record our deep seated antagonism to
an alliance with Great Britlan or any
other European power and express our
detestation of the attempt made In
British Interests to disrupt the friendly

between the United States and Ger

We view with alarm the multipli

These trusts and combinations are the
direct outgrowth of the policy of the
