’BLACKMAIL THE OBJECT
Forged W'ar Plans, and “119!) Be
Refused to Pay Exposed Him to
His Fate—Startling Romance of
Paris Crime.
Paris, Nov. 19.——The alleged false im-
prisonment of Alfred Dreyfus, the for-
mer captain of French artillery, who
is undergoing a sentence of imprison-
ment for life after having been con-
victed by a. court-martial of selling
French military plans to the agents of
a. foreign government, has taken on a
new aspect. '
From a person who is in the counsels
of the family the correspondent of the
Associated Press here learns that their
presentation of the prisoner’s case to
the French Government reveals a
thrilling romance with the gang of so-
called ”journalists" and stock jobbers
who beset young Lebaudy, the million-
aire conscript, known as “the Little
Sugar Merchant,” and not as “the Lit-
tle Sugar Bowl,” as sometimes the un-
fortunate young man is referred to,
and a prominent member of the demi-
monde as the chief actors.
It is claimed that the documents
Dreyfus was charged with selling to
Germany were never really sold to the
agents of that country, but were con-
cocted as ,forgeries in Dreyfus’ hand-
writing to blackmail him, his wife be-
ing a. wealthy woman, and he himself
being in good circumstances.
.The plot, it would further seem, was
conceived in, 1893, when the wave of
“Jew-baiting” swept over Europe.
Dreyfus is of Hebrew extraction, and 4
these so—called “soldiers of fortune,"
casting about for funds, determined to
bleed “this wealthy Jew."
A beautiful adventuress, whose house
was the resort of a number .of French
officers and foreign diplomats, is said
to have acted as the go-between in
these shady transactions and was se-
cured as a catspaw by the blackmail-
ers.
By invitation Dreyfus was a frequent
visitor to her house, and in due course
of time the plan for the mobilization
of the French army, which had been
drawn up“in a. handwriting which clev-
erly imitated that of Dreyfus, was pro-
duced and money was demanded for its
surrender.
Dreyfus, however, it is added, re-
fused to pay the sum demanded, know-
ing that the ,purchase of the document
would be an admission of his guilt and
would furnish ground for future extor-
tion, and being aware that he had been
a friend of this woman would be con-
sidered part of the strongest evidence
of his guilt.
The newspapers whose inspirers were
concerned in the plot have constantly
maintained a warfare against Drey-
fus, and in consequence the prisoner’s
wife and family are obliged to keep
secluded.
Attempts have constantly been made,
it would appear, to extort admissions
from them to be used against Dreyfus,
and it is also said that advances have
been made to Mme. Dreyfus. wife of
the prisoner, in behalf of the anti-
Drey-fus press, offering to cease all op-
position to his release “for a consid-
eration.” _
The plan for the mobolization of the
French army which Dreyfus is said
to have sold to the agents of a foreign
government was a. comparatively un-
important document, the features of
which were in the'possession of all
foreign governments, and was easily
fabricated by experts.

Exhaustive Review of the Work of
His dreat Department.
AN INTERESTING PAPER
Laws Needed for the Protection of the
Forest Reservations—976,914 Names on
the Pension Rolls and 200,000 claims
Awaiting Adjudication.
Washington, Nov. 19.—In his first an-
nual report, which was given to the
press yesterday, the Hon. Cornelius N.
Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, deals
at length and in a. very interesting
manner with the current work and fu-
ture needs of the many divisions of his
important department. The General
Land Office, the Patent Office, the Pen-
sion Bureau,.the Indian Bureau. the
Geological Survey and the Bureau of
Education, , with all their. varied
branches, come within the scope'of the
Secretary’s authority and jurisdiction,
and his report touches upon the work-
ing of all these branches.
In treating of the subject of the dev-
astation of the public domain by forest
fires the Secretary testifies to the wis-
dom and practical excellence of the
act of Feb. 24, 1897, entitled “An act
to prevent forest fires on the public do-
main,” and recommends its retention.
0n the general subject of forestry the.
Secretary says:
'- “There are now existing nineteen for-'
est reservations, embracing lands hav-
ing an estimated area. of 18,993,280
acres, which from time to time have
been set aside by proclamations. Thir-
teen forest rescrves created by procla-
mation of Feb. 22, 1897, were, with the
exception of two in the State of Cali-
fornia, suspended by the Sundry Civil
act of June 3, 1897, until March 1, 1898.
The suspended reservations contain an
estimated area of 19,951,360 acres. The
preservation of the, public forests is a
matter of vital interest to the entire
nation. The enactment of adequate
laws for their protection and the
proper enforcement thereof, coupled
with the inauguration of a comprehen-
sive forest system, can only effect such’
result.
“I most heartily concur in the recom-
mendation of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office that liberal appro-
priations be made.by Congress for the iBiTCh Beer,
forestry service.
“Attention is directed to the law
which provides a penalty for the cut-
ting or destruction of live oak or red
cedar, or other timbers, on the public'
l
l
lands. It is open to serious objection
in that it is inadequate for the punish—
ment of offenses to which it relates;
it fails to discriminate clearly and just-
ly as to what constitutes a crime with
respect to the use of public timber.
As this law is the “principal penal
statute upon which the Land Depart-
ment has to rely to check thewaste
and destruction of public timber. its
failure to meet the ends desired is a
serious matter, and legislation more
in accord with the needs of the times
should be secured.”
Secretary Bliss calls attention to the
report. of the Commissioner‘of Pen—
sions, already published, which shows
that on June 30, 1897, there were on the
pension—rolls 976,014 names, an increase
of 5,336 during the year. Of these" there
were sixteen widows and daughters of
Revolutionary soldiers, seven survivors
of the War of 1812, 281 widows of so]-
diers of that war, 18,994 survivors and
widows of the Mexican war, 6,661 sur-
vivors and widows of Indian. wars, 663
arms: nurses and 438,064 survivors‘and
Widows and children of deceased sol-
diers and sailors of the war of the re-
bellion. The latter number represents
those pensioned on account of disabili-
ties or death resulting from army and
navy service. The number of persons
remaining on the rolls June 30. 1897,
who were pensioned under the act of
June 27, 1890, which allows pensions on
account of death and disability and
chargeable to the service, was 508,799.-
The number added to the rolls dur-
-ing the year was 54,072, the’number
dropped from various causes was 41,122,
and the number of claims ofwai‘ious
classes disallowed was 76,234. The
amount disbursed for pensions durif
the year was $139,899,24ZL12, exceedi g
the amount disbursed duringr~the fiscal
year 1896 by the sum of $1,584,480.18.
During the year 99,454 pension certifi-
cates were issued; r - , . z
The Secretary lndorses the recom-
mendation of Commissioner Evans for
the passage of‘a law providing that no
pension shall be granted to the widow
of any soldier who shall hereafter
marry. As to the statusof pension
claims generally, he says: ' ‘ .
“There are about 200,000 pension
claims awaiting adjudication, and it is
estimated that 40 or'50'per cent. there- -
If these.
of will be finally'admitted.
claims are rapidly adjudicated they
will swell the pension roll from $5,000,-
When, however, these
claims are adjudicated and'first pay-
ments made thereon the amount of the
pension roll will decrease very rapidly,
possibly to $125,000,000 or $130,000,000 the
first year. The Commissioner esti-
mates that $140,000,000 will be required
to pay pensions during the year ending
.June 30,- 1899. In view of the forego-
ing statements, however, it is probable
that a deficiency appropriation may be
necessary. ‘He recommends that the
Executive order of July'14,‘ 1897, sas-
pending the operation of the order of
Feb. 6, 1897, consolidating pension
agencies, be centinued indefinitely, as
the interest of the service and the -Gov—'
ernment will besubserved thereby."
