As an explanation from any deaths on the Allegheny, it is said tlmt the Ninth Massachusetts Regiment took along more of its sick than any other and the men who really ought to have been left behind were taken on the ship, as they and ther comrades preferred to risk the voyage borne than to remain for what seems to huve been considered certain death jn the hospitals about Santiago. Some of the men were taken on board are said to have been so sick thut it was never eX' pectcd they would live until the end of voyage.

Many of those who died during the voyage bad to be carried on board. The trip was a long one as the ship sailed August' 24. The Allegheny was a cattle transport totally unfitted for the work cut out for her. Her condition must have been bad before the troops were put her, and according to Dr. MeGiuder, it was frightful before they arrived here.

The Panther brought 10U men of whom 15 were sick. The men on lier were in fairly good condition. DEATHS AT CAV.P THOMAS Curia; the Past Four Months Have Reaibed 338. Chattanooga, National Military Park, Sept. 1.

DEATH LIST At Camp Wikoff Includes a Private of the Eighth Ohio. Suicide of a French Officer Henry, His Throat.

Cuts The Sensation in Paris Over the Affair Indescribable. The Dead Man Forged a Letter in the Noted Dreyfus Case. General Boisdeffre Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Resigns and the Government Will Be Defeated. Paris, Sept. 1.

Lieut. Col. Henry, who was arrested on the charge of having been the author of an important letter which figured in the Dreyfus case, committed suicide last evening. His arrest was one of the most sensa tional developments in the extraordinary affair. He has been throughout the cham pion of the army against Colonel Pic- quart, with whom he fought a duel.

The new development appears to alter the aspect of both the Dreyfus and the Zola cases and to practically nullify the evi dence of Generals Peillieux and Boisdeffre and the declarations of the minister of war, M. Cavignac, in the chamber of depu- WHY ties. In fact, some peopls believe that the real turning point in the Dreyfus case has been reached and that a revision of the trial of the prisoner of Devil's island will be had. Colonel Henry was attached to the war department when Dreyfus was convicted. It appears that an inquiry inst.tuted by Minister of War Cavignac in the Dreyfus ease resulted in the recovery of documents lately read in the chamber of deputies by M.

Cavignac, showing that proof of the guilt of Dreyfus was forged. Colonel Henry was summoned to the ministry of war and confessed to fabricating the letter. It is affirmed thut M. Cavignac, while not having changed his belief in the culpability of Dreyfus, is determined to punish all the guilty parties, no matter what their rank or position. Colonel Henry confessed to having committed the forgery, "owing to the absolute necessity for finding proofs against Dreyfus." It is understood the document in queslion is the letter which hitherto has been alleged to have been written by the German military attache to the Italian military attache in October, 1800.

The newspapers which have been supporting the proposition to reopen the Dreyfus case demand the Immediate release of Colonel Picuuart, who is inipiis- cned on charges connected Indirectly with the DrcyiUs case, and they also Insist upon a review of the latter! trial.

General LeMouton de Boisdeffre, chief of tho general staff of the French army, tendered his resignation to the povern-niNit this evening. General do Boisdeffre explains that he resigns owing to his misplaced confidence In Voloiiel Henry, which led hi in to present a genuine what was forged evidence.

M. Cavignac asked h'm to remain to see "justice rendered in tha matter," but he Insisted on resigning. Lieut. Col. Henry cut his throat with a rnror he had concealed In his Valise.

Congress- THE FACTS DID man Brenner the Third congressional district has taken it up with the war department people, and they have given him assurances that the matter will be taken under full advisement, and that it will be definitely decided the early part of next week when the bovs can come home. It seems that the feeling among them is strongly favorable to the discontinuance of their military service now that the war Is over and that so many of them have positions and professions demanding their attention in the west.

Thomas Gimperling, the son of J. E. Glmperling, the city comptroller, was honorably discharged this morning by the war department. He has been appointed cadet by Congressman Brenner, and he leaves the army to prepare for the initial examination. Col.
