Condemnation of French Offici
Without Trial 1'sAnnulled-Jus-..
tice at Last.
Paris, July 12.-The . Supreme
Court announced the decision: annull
Ing the C6 ndqmation -of .Dreyfus
without W're*-trial.
The effect of the decision is the
comipletse vindication of Dreyfus, en.
titling him to restoration to his rank
in the army qs though lie had nevel
been acensed.
The scene was one of impressive
dignity. The Court, consisting of 49
judges, gowned in flowing red robes,
solemnly mounted the bench.. Deep
silence prevailed as the presiding
judge read the lengthy decision,
mlinlut-ely reviewing Ole series of sel
sational events of the last. 12 years,
and eompletely disculpating Drey us
of all wroig. doing, freeing him of
the accusation of being the author of
the famous incriminating documents,
on which .-the entire charge wah
founded and ordering the annullinnt
of all judgment of Rennes Court Mar
tial with the publication of the final
aniouncement of his ivnocence iin
50 newspapers to be chosen by Drcy
fuIs.
The reading of the decision lasted
an hour and it was only at the close
that the spectators realized the
sweeping nature of the vindication.
As the final determination was an
nounced there was a buzz of excited
comment and some exclamations of
approval, which tihe court officers
sternly repressed.
fattlhew breyfus hastily despatcl.
ed a messenger to bear the good news
to Captain Dreyfus and Madame
Dreyf us.
Outside the court the crowds re
ecived the decision without. making
any demonstration. -
The circumstances of Dreyfus re
turning to the army have not been
determined but it is expected that lie
will take the grade of Lieut. Colonel
of artillery, Which lie would have
reached if t1ke service had not been
interrupted.
The Cabinet will hold a special ses
sion tonight, to deterinilie on the
course to folloiv.
Already it has been deternined,
that besides the restoration of Drey
fus to the army a speeial bill will
be presented to Parliament authori,
ing the Minister of NWr to restore
Colonel Piequart, whose sense'of jus
tice brought about. the quashing of
the verdiet of the 'Rennes ' Court
martial to the army from which lie
was degraded owing to charges which
lie brought against the late Col.
Henry.
Dreyfus said: I have nothing to
say against my accusers. Being a
gain an officer I ani obliged to obey
the army regulations of silence and I
am inexpressibly thankful to all who
assisted in the maintenance of t ruth.
Piaris, .July 12.-In the Chamber of
Deputies today the discuissioni of thle
Dreyfus case was post ponecd owing to
the assurance of Prince Sarrion thait
D)reyfus would immediately be re
stored( to the army withI the ,rank of
Brigadier general.
Some Famous War Horses.
Washington Star.
The selection of a war horse, one
that will stand( the ha'rdships of an
active campaign, requires keen dis
crimination 'and judg'tnent. A mecre
horse will not (10 so. Aside from this
conformation, n;li~hih should be more
or less compact, and h6ne which
should be of dense quality and of fair
ly good size, lhe must have some pre
tensions of good breeding. Without
the latter no horse can stand the
wear and tear of active service in the
field, a service more exhaustive than
any other known, beecause frequently
he must go on short rations while be
ing ridden desperately for hours at, a
time, and frequently compelled to go
suppeorless to bed. Ini addition to
breeding lie must have such necessary
qualities as intelligence, good dispo
sition and cheerfulness of tempera
ment and must resp)ond promptly to
his master's command, whether on
the firing line or on review. As a
general proposition the better the war
horse is bred the bettor fitted he is
for his arduous duties.'
When President Theodore Roose
velt rode to the war with Spain he so
looted a Texas-bred horse of medium
size( a bay ih color, and which he call
ed Tens, in"hionor 'of its native State.
It proved to be orye of those wiry and

Fr'emont rode in his long and rapid
trips in times of stress and danger in
southern California, sometimes cover
ing over' 100 miles in a day, the ani
mnal's ,only forage being buffalo grass.
To be historically correct, however,
the president took to Cuba two horses,
one of which died while being'landed,
the survivor being Teas. The latter
wM3thePrid6lt? tount diikg his
service ini.Cuba and returnued with him
to,0yster B. There he died a few
years since, the president, out of
,rratitude for twe faithful service of
the beast, gave him a decent burial on
Sagamore hill. Doubtless some . day
the president will erect over Texas'
remains a monument on which -will -be
inscribed fitting words.
