GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS:
The Trouble in France.
GENERAL IHIBAUDIy's CONDUCT DURING KING
ALFoNs0's VISIT.

ALF0NS0'S VISIT.
fBy cable to the Dispatch.
PARIS. October 4-The Correspondent
says it is positively known that illness was
not the cause OF the absence OF General
Thibaudin. Minister Of War. from the re-
ception given TO King Alfonso at the
Palace OF the Elysee on Sunday. He vol
unfairly and ostentatiously held aloof from
tie banquet so that the glaring gap occa-
stoned by his absence had to be filled by
an dd interim Minister OF War. Prime
Minister Ferry then thought himself bound
to inform President Grevy OF the dcplorabe
effect OF VI. Thibaudin's conduct in politi-
cal circles and upon European opinion. NJ.
Ferry, who is backed by all the Ministers.
declares that General Nlilliott will never,
with his consent, become chief OF the gene
raj staff, as the whole army acknowledge
that he is unfit Cor the post. President
Grevy shares in this opinion, and II Gene
raj Thibaudn resigns the war portfolio on
this question the President will not back
him. VI. GreYy thinks, however, that
General Tbibaudin, by enforcing the mea-
sures against the Orleans princess. rendered
a service 10 the republic which no other
general would probably have agreed to
perform, and which imposes upon the
Cabinet an obligation not to dismiss him,
now that similar service is required OF
him. There is thus a difference OF opinion
between NJ. Ferry and President Grevy.
To this is reduced the present difficulty.
But il Grevy defends Thibaudin, he GER
tainly will refuse to mix in any intrigues
aiming ut the overthrow OF Ferry. 1t is
certain that General Thibaudin has re-
solved not to resign. The question will
not be settled until the Chamber OF Depu-
ties meet.
The Insult to Alfonso.
PARIS, October A. lie Temps thinks that
Spain will hesitate before entering upon
diplomatic action in regard to the demon
STATIONS against King Alfonso just as a
calm is beginning to prevail. Public opin-
ion, it says, is reducing TO their true pro-
portion the manGuvres OF few fanatics.
1t is rumored tonight that General Thi-
baudin, Minister Of War, has resigned.
