Secretary Blaine Determined to Push the
 Matter to the End-The Cabinet Unit
 On the Question.
 WASHINGTON, May 29.--Addltional in structions were sent to Minister Reid Monday in regard to the outrageous man. ner in which Mrs. Dorr, Miss Van Nos- trand and Miss Marvin were treated by French officials at Mentone. As stated in these dispatches yesterday, the State Department directed Minister Reid to make an immediate and thor ongh investigation into the whole talk about the clubs and official cir cles, and unless some prompt action is taken by the French Government, there will be thousands of Americans who will give the exposition the cold shoulder, and in this manner resent the brutal treat ment inflicted upon three of their coun- trywomen. Secretary Blaine is very in dignant, and in his long cablegram sent Minister Reid yesterday he emphatically stated that such treatment would not bo tolerated, and it was disgrace to any civilized country to allow such in competent and ruthless officials to re- main in power a single day. His di- rections were the unanimous voice of the Cabinet, all of whom express the great est indignation, and especially are bitter toward the American Consul, Mir. Cliercy, and his assistant for the part they took in the matter. MT. Gardner Van Nostrand, Q brother of Miss Van Nostrand, was ex- p6cted at the State Department yesterday to have conference with Secretary Blaine, but a telegram was received from him in the afternoon that it would be impossible for him to come, but that he would be here tomorrow, when he would lay the whole case before Secre- tary Blaine
