Guilty of Criminal Carelessness. Bridgeport, Aug. 17. The Dllfj Prospects of the Famous Prisoner Look Better. DAY'S PROCEEDINGS AT RENNES.

Maltre Ieinane Causes General Roget to Squirm and Grow Red in the Face While on the Wituess Stand Testimony of 31. Bortullus Raises the Hopes of the Drey-' fusards Another Alleged Forgery Brought ta Light by Figaro. Rennes, Aug. 17. With the usual attendance and without any noteworthy Incident, the second trial by court-martial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the artillery, charged with treason, was resumed In the Lycee.

Previous to the opening of the proceedings it leading counsel for Dreyfus, "who was ehot in the' back from ambush Monday, was slightly worse. His physicians, have not yet extracted the his fever continues to increase and it is not believed he will, be able to attend court Monday. Consequently Maltre Monard, or the Dreyfus family before the court of cassation, in the trial revision proceedings, has been summoned to replace M. Labor! until such time as the latter is able to resume conduct of the case. Brighter Prospects for Dreyfus.

Friends prevented Maitre Albert Clemenceau from coming to the assistance of Dreyfus, as planned immediately after the attempted assassination of M. However, in spite of the difficulties encounteiW by the defense the session of the court opened with brighter prospects for the prisoner as M. Demange, of counsel for the defense, evidently came primed with questions to be put to General Roget. The latter resumed his deposition on the opening of the court, dealing with the theft of Esterhazy's letters from Mademoiselle Pays. A number of counsel's shots struck the bull's eye and made the general squirm in his Could Not Conceal His Annoyance, General Roget was unable to conceal his annoyance and.

anger when M. Demange scored. The witness' fingers twitched nervously and he frequently turned for consolation toward Generals Billot and Zurlinden, former minister of war, who occupied the witnesses' seats behind him. The general also threw glances of savage resentment at the audience when, as happened several times, suppressed titters went round the court room when M. Demange cornered him.

Finally General Roget became quite red in the face and answered M. Demange in a hollow voice strangely with his confident tone of the previous day. Reinforcement for Dreyfus. Then came a witness who proved to be a splendid reinforcement for Dreyfus. It was M.

Bortullus, the examining magistrate who received th late Lieutenant Colonel Henry's confession of forgery. In almost inaudible tones, owing to hoarseness, M. Bertullus gave his testimony, which was a veritable speech for the defense. Coming from a man of the high legal reputation of M. Bertullus this evidence the hopes of the Dreyfusards immensely and it apparently made a deep impression on the members of the court M.

Jaures, the Socialist leader who was among those present in court, remarked on the conclusion of the magistrate's testimony: "This is the first time the truth and the whole truth has been told before the judges." Colonel Picquart Called. Dreyfus displayed the keenest interest in the statements of M. Bertullus, seeming completely absorbed in his words, and straining forward to catch every syllable. After a brief confrontation of Bertullus and Mme. Henry, widow of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, Colonel Picquart, former chief of the intelligence bureau of the war office, was called.

He gave his evidence in a loud, resonant voice and created a profound impression. The court adjourned after partly hearing Colonel Picquart, who will continue his deposition later. EXPOSED BY FIGARO. Another Alleged Forgery In the Cele brated Dreyfus Case. Paris, Aug.

17. A special edition of Figaro just issued exposes another al leged forgery in the Dreyfus case by publishing the following telegram from Ems; "The letter of Nov. 30, 1897, attribut ed to me and reproduced in The Figaro of Aug. 16, 1899, is a forgery. "SCHNEIDER." The letter referred to was one from Schneider, the Austrian military at tache at Paris, in which he was al leged to have said Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi, respectively the German and Italian attaches, were trying to make out that it was not Dreyfus who was giving them information and, adding that he had no belief in these pro testations.

M. Cavaignac, the former minister of war, in his testimony, made a great point of this. Guerln, Still Holds Out Paris, Aug. 17. The president of the Anti-Semite league, M.

Guerln, is still holding out at the headquarters of the league, where he barricaded himself and defied arrest on Saturday last, when an attempt was made to arrest him.

There were a few slight demonstrations In the streets In the neighborhood, but they were easily quelled. Another attempt made by Lasles to mediate between M. Guerln and the government has failed.

Think Dreyfus Will Be Convicted. London, Aug. 17. The correspon dents of London papers1 in Rennes are almost unanimous in taking a gloom view of the prospects of Captain Dreyfus. They seem to believe it likely that he will be found guilty.
