Washington, D. Sept. 6l A telegram has been sent to Gen. Otis at Manila which probably will result in the Fifty-first Iowa regiment being mustered out on the way home if they desire to take advantage of the opportunity. Gen.

Otis was instructed, if practicable, to place a regular army officer who has had muster out experi ence on the transport with the returning volunteers, and duhing voyage to cause the records of the regiment to be prepared in accordance with general orders for heretofore issued. If etfr Ofis" 'carries out this order of the secretary or war it will result in the Iowa boys saving about three weeks' time in reaching their homes. They will hardly have to stay any time in San Francisco. An old official of the war department, however, ventures the suggestion that there will be such a rumpus among officers and men that it will be impossible to carry out this order. lie says other regiments have had their three weeks', rest in San Francisco with pay and he believes that the Iowa men will want the same prlviledge.

So far as the department is concerned, it will be a saving of money to the government, and officials will be pleased to have them mustered out en route. The department will not insist on having the order obeyed if a majority of the regiment does not wish it, as it is inclined to humor the men who have done such good service in the Philippines. AT A SHOW DOWN General Belief That the Crisis is Beached Between Boers and English. London, Sept. 6.

This morning's news sheds no new light on the Transvaal crisis.

Secretary diamberlain re mains at the Colonial office, and other ministers are either here or on their way. The general opinion tends to a belief that a cabinet -council will result in an ultimatum, followed by an Immediate backdown oa the part' of the Boers or the commencement of hos tilities by Great Britain.

The dice nave been load ed against them they are merely bound hand and foot and if relief is to be ex nected it must come through honest democrats, who may revolt against the infamv of the nresent system.

Sioux iCty, Sept 6. (Special the Argus-Leader.) The Times prints the following interview with two returning members of the South Dakota regiment: "The volunteer soldier's kick on the Philippines yar isn't against the principle of It, but against the way it has been run fost of the time," declared Roy Washburn, one of South Dakota's soldiers, while at the Mondamin last night.

"As I noted things, there was-no ta mon who wasn't willing to fight for the old flag to maintain its supremacy in those far off islands, but nearly all of them feel pretty sore because all of the delay sand inactivity since the trouble began over there. They don't like Otis. "Of course we in the ranks don't know so very much about soldiering, but it looks to us as though the war ought not to last so very long. It is only a small portion of the population of the islands that is causing all of the trouble. The Tagalos are at Jhe bottom of it.

all and they don't number more than a ninth of the inhabitants. They make up the rebellion; from them come Aguinaldo's soldiers and the funds to carry on the war. All of the other natives are friendly to the United States and would come out openly if they weren't afraid of the Hagalos." Private Washburn bears the scars or a bad. wound that he received in the awful fighting at Marilao river, where the insurgents took their last stand before Malolos. It was this fight that thinned out the ranks of the First Dakota regiment "In a charge on a large church near the' river," said Washburn, "forty men of the regiment were wounded, ten killed, among them three officers, Lieutenant Lien of Sioux i alls, and Lieutenants Morrison and Adams." Washburn was wounded in the right side and shoulder.

He was on his coat cuffs the little single chevrons of white and red that are now awarded soldiers for foreign service. "I certainly think that the Philip pines are worth what they have already cost, and more too," declared a returning soldier, Private Schuman of Sicux Falls, who saw more than a year's service In the far off islands with Company, First South Dakota volunteers. "Those islands are pearls and their Tiches are even greater than has been supposed," continued Mr. Schuman. "No one knows verp much of the mountainous interior, but the few prospectors who have ventured there bring back wonderful stories of the gold and silver treasures that lie buried in the -earth, and iron ore is abundant all through the island.

If American capital and enterprise were set to work there to develop that country it would prove itself to be one of the richest groups islands iu the seas. "That climate isn't so very bad for a white man. He can stand it all right it he has decent quarters to live in and proper food. The trouble with our soldiers and the enormous sickness that prevailed among them was due to a. lack of good shelter and food.

Fighting constantly in wet weather and under a hot sun, with skimped, rations a good part of the time, would make anyone sick. But let a man live in a house, dress well and have the right sort of stuff to eat and he'll get along all right. "If I were able to go into any kind of business in the Philippines I'd go there as soon as I could get away from here. There is a chance for energetic joung men to make something there in a good many different ways." SEYENTY-F1YE WILL REMAIN Capt.

6. Two hours were spent behind closed doors hearing the testimony of Cernuschi, the Austrian refugee. When the open seioo was resumed Senator Trarieux, former minister of justice, resumed his deposition. He took up the testimony of Savignaud, who had asserted that he had seen letters addressed to Scheurer-Kesner, formerly vice president of the senate, by Plquart while Savignaud was Pic- quart's orderly at Tunis. Trarieux de clared that Savignaud was a perjurer and hinted that he.

had been drilled on the testimony. Picquart repeated his denial of Sav- Ignaud's story. Trarieux declared that he was con vinced that the Petit Bleu was authen tic. He then commented upon the questionable role played by Lauth. Lauth declared he had acted honestly and had not the least doubt of Pic-quart's falsification of Petit Bleu to in criminate Esterhazy.

Gen. urlinden then spoke in justification of hi3 action while he was military governor of Pairs and minister of war in the prosecution of Picquart. Labori then tackled Zurhnden, who admitted that a magisterial inquiry showed that the Petit Gleu was not tampered with when it first arrived at the intelligence office; consequently! Picquart could not have been guilty of distorting the document. Labori asked Paleologue. the expert1 of the foreign oce, in reference to' reading before the.

court of documents in whicn was recounted a conversation between Delcasse, former prime minister, and CRount VonMunster-Leden- burg, German minister to Paris, in the course of which Lendenburg said that' Col. Schwartzkoppea had admitted! that he sent Esterhazy a number of telegraphic cards or Petits Bleus. I Paleologue replied that It was quite true; that the doeumeni belonged to the diplomatic dossier. As to the Pet-It Bleu in question, added Paleologue, Schwartzkoppea could affirm whether he wrote it himself; but in any case, Paleologue said, he believed it was sent by Schwartzkoppen. This declaratioo created a marked sensation.

Trarieux agin entered upon a long statement in the course of which he said that Esterhazy was acquitted, not judged. Genaarl Billot, confronting irarieux "Even if Esterhazy should be proved a traitor that would not prove Dreyfus innocent; for in cases of espionage very often occurs that there are several accomplices." Labor cried: "Allow me to remark that it has never been said that Dreyfus had an accomplice in Esterhazy." Dreyfus also sprang to his feet and shouted: "I proles: against this odious accusation." Labori asked to be allowed to question Billot. Jouaust refused, and a heated wrangle ensued, Labori finally shouting: "I bew to your ruling, but I take note that every time I put a question which is Irrisistible you refuse to allow it." The audience burst into loud applause. Jouaust suppressed the demonstration and then said: "Have you anything more to say, Labori?" Labori replied: "No, because and I apeak with utmost respect, I am prevented from putting questions touching the core of the affair. I reserve the right.

to take such action as a regard for my responsibility compels me to take up." Labori was extremely excited and hardly able to contain himself with in dignation; and when arterwaras assea If he had any questions to put to the other witnesses replied tartly, "No; nothing at alL" Maior Gallcmio was tnen examinee. He declared that he once met Dreyfus on the Boulevard St. Germame, carry ing a voluminous package which he said contained papers treating or tne mobilization which he was carrying to the geographical bureau. Dreyfus ad mitted that he sometimes took docu ments home to facilitiate his work; but said he did not recall the particular incident to whicn Gall'a re ferred. Major Hirsch-Anel deposed that he heard Dreyfus express a desire to go to the maneuvers but could not remember the exact date.

Dreyfus le-plied: "It is very possible that I expressed regrets that I be unable to go the maneuvers. What's certain, we all knew that none of the probationers would go." Picquart was called and said that Dreyfus never applied for leave to go tc he maneuvers. Jouaust read a letter from the colonel of the Thirteenth Infantry, dated la3t Sunday, recslling th? date of the report on Madagascar, which enabled him to fix the date of the bordereau at August 1S93. Thi3 report was drawn up in the third bureau, of the general Coal Prices Advance. Pittsburg, 6.

Coal operators of Ohio have gone the Pittsburg Coal Company, tho combination of Pittsburg interests, some better in the way of an advance in the price of coal. They have issued a circular to the trade which says that prices for vthe Buckeye black diamonds shall be It) cents higher than those of the Pittsburg district. Pittsburg coal was advanced Septemberl to a uniform price of $1.10. This price applies only to what is known as lump coal. The price of screened coal over a one and one-quarter inch screen was fixed at $1.00 a The announcement of the advance in Ohio causes considerable surprise In coal circles, as it is not the result of a combination of Ohio interests, but apparently a natural betterment governed by the laws of supply and demand.
