THE FAMOUS PRISONER, DREYFUS

A tit:spate)). from B,rest, says :-.Tbe
harbour laoat Caduart etarted out about
9 'o'cleelt Sunday eieht in a fieree
storm, to meet the Sfax, whieh had
been sighted. far or at sea, Not till
on o'olock in the morning. did it'cent lull 1411 oocur to allow the transfer
of the prisoner from orie boat to
another. EVer eines bis departure from
Isle du Diable, Dreyfus had spoken very
little, arid. even kept apart; from ins
fellow -men, and during the lone holies
that the venturesome littia Cadaen
vainly endeavoured to approach the
Sfax, he etood. alone, mindless of the
raging storm, staring moodily at the
sea.
When at last the trensfer was made
possible, Dreyfus silently teek his seat
in the etern of the small boa,t sent from
the Caduen.
ON FII,ENC113 SOIL.
The beat reached tne shore at about
1.3() o'clock, there being' a company of
.infantry and a force of gendarmes and
detectives in waiting.
The face of Captain Dreyfus has
little changed., though somewhat thio
and bronzed.. It still contains the cold.
expression of the aristocrat, but shows
no sign of suffering.
He was transferred. to the railway
station in a closed. landau, M. Vignie
being his custodian. Arriving at the
station the prisoner: whose rnajestio
carriage might have suggested the rank
of it general, entered a compartment
of the special train which was in wait-
ing. All 'efforts of newspaper men to
interview the prisoner or travei in the
*same train were frustrate& by the ()M-
oors of the escort. The train reached
Rabelais, a small statien near the
Prison of Rennes at 5.30 a.m. Here
carriage is were in waiting, and the pris-
oner was driven to lila" destination by
circuitclus route. e
AGAIN./ TO PRISON.
The inhabitants of Rennes were ap-
parently most unconcerned in xegard
to the famous exile, a small regiment
of newspaper correspondents being the
only ones who showed unusual interest.
Several decoy carriages were eraployed
to mislead. tne newsPaper men, but
those stationed at the prison gates
were, enabled. to catch a fleetingglance
of the military prisoner as the horses
dashed into the courtyard.
After being formally transferred to
the care of the governor of the prison,
Dreyfus was conveyed. to a comfortable
cell on ihe second: floor. where he anx-
iodsly awaited. tile arrival of his wife,.
Mme. Dreyfus will be allowed to see
her husband three times a week for
three-quarters of an hour, int the pre-
sence of a prison official.
When Dreyfus was told during the
voyage that a new court-martial await-
ed him on his return to France, he re-
plied, "I have no ill -will towards any-
body; I shall be glad to re-enter the
army, which I have never ceased to
love.
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Alme. Dreyfus, upon receiving the
news of the arrival of her husband, im-
mediately applied to the governor of
the jail for an interview, which was
immediately granted. She was con-
ducted to cell No. 830, accompanied by
'Mme. Havet, where a most touching
reunion took place between husband
and wife. Upon leaving the/ prison
the poor woman was in a state of com-
plete collapse, so great was the shock
of the meeting. .Dreyfus had aged
greatly. His hair and beard are now
white, and his body shrunken and
stooped. He declared to his wife that
he was entirely ignorant of the events
which have transpired during the last
two years. Mme. Dreyfus was treated
v.rith the utmost cOurtesy by the jail
officials. I

boat.
A despatch from Vancouver, 13.p.,
says :-The British ship "Woon, Messrs.
Banker and Co., was held by Chinese
pirates bn May 22 at Kainchuck, on
the West river, who coolly emptied
the cargo into junks lying alongside.
Then the passengers, many of whom
were British and Americans, had to
give up 07,000 in cash.
Three Chinese torpedo boats, placed
on the river to prevent piracy, were
anchored within 500 yards of the scene,
but made no attempt to assist the mer-
ohantman. After the robbery the cap-
tain .of the Woon reversed. her flag at
the masthead, but the torpedo boats
steamed by without paying any at-
tention to the signal of distress,
The beat captain.s of the West riv-
er held a meeting after the robbery,
and sent a resolution to Pekin record-
ing the robbery, enci stating that the
torpedo boats, were not engaged in
,suppressing piracy, but in squeezing
money out of Chinese junks on the pre-
tence of escorting them down the
river.

. THEY CLUNG TOGETHER.
It seems that in spite of some ap-
parent between Pare and
his companion, while in Neptenee, the
two bed a regular syetcm. of communi-
eation with each other. Pare made
known to Holden his plans for the
escape.
Alter leaving the jail it consultation
took plane as to which direction they
should Laite, Holden wishing to strike
west to get into the United States as
quiekly as passible, Pare wishing to
go east towards Quebett, thinking by
this route the better to esespe detec-
tion. The eantern route being decid-
ed upon, the first night mad day after
their esoape 'they kepi to tbe north
side of the St. Inewrenee, keeping un-
der cover a..s much as possible, and
finally reached Coteau Junction, where
they crossed the St. Lawrence to Val-
leyfield. Following the sounh shore
down, they crossed over again to
Vandreul, rand, carefully picking their
eteps4 they worked. their way through
the Province of Quebec into the State
of 1Vtaine.
TRAVELLED AS TRAMPS.
They were several weeks accom.-
plishing this part .of their journey,
subsistin.g on the way as tramps. in
Maine the m.en did not feel safe, and
they kept to the woods as m.uch as
possible, until about two weeks ago,
when they struck across to Nova Sco-
tia and lauded near Halifax. Wan-
dering about for some days, they re-
traced their steps and struck St. Sohn,
N. B., a week ago last Sunday. Erma
there they worked up the line a the
Taterrolonial to Campbellton, arriving
there on Thursday in a box car,
making from the car to a small hotel
in the neigliborltood. ,
THE MAN WHO GAINED THE
iE-
WARJI ,
It happened that the chief of police,
an. officer named Duncan, had receiv-
ed one of the circulara sent out de-
scribing the two men. This officer
noticed. the arrival of the tramps and
his suspicions were aroused. He
thereupoxt arrested them, but subse-
quently released them, Thinking the
matter over again, and consulting the
photographs, he summoned assistance,
and speedily re -arrested the pair.
Pare took his arredt quietly, but
Holden, who is a muehmore polverfully
built mart, made) a fierce resistance,
afterwards declaring it was lucky he
had no firearms, or somebody -wculd
have been killed.
The men were carefully guarded un-
til Inspector Greer's arrival.
The party reaehed Montreal at sie
o'clock Tuesday evening. Speaking of
his recapture, after reaching Montreal.
Pair saideit seemed too bad that it
should end up in this way, but he. sup-
posed there was no use repining, and
they would now have to Make the best
of the circumstances.
P.orden said be would never have
been recaptured and would have got
of scot free out of the country by
taking a sailing vessel, but Pare was
suffering from a Itime leg, and he did
not wish to leave him inthe lurch. •
