LONDON, Oct 9.-rCable to the New
York Times. 1-"General Boulanger is about
10 make a supreme effort. He has deter
mined to play his card his own way, and
the result has been a most serious dis
agreement with Rochefort and Count Dill
lon. The former has washed his hands of
General Boulanger, and Count Dillon is
seriously considering the advisability of a
"trip to the United States.
"Boulanger sees that the elections hav e
gone against him. There will be no other
chance of appealing to the electorate of
France for four years, when naturally the
war minister who cut such a figure upon a
capering black charger would be forgotten.
If Boulangism, therefore, is to become no
more than a rapidly fading vision, some
clever stroke must be delivered and the
general has decided that this shall be coup
d etat.
"These views he put before his comrades
st a conclave in Portland place Sunday
night, and with the exception of Senator
Naquet all were against it. Notwithstand-
ing this, the general means to follow his
own inclination and his plan of action as at
present arranged, | am assured on the
most trustworthy authority, is to make
sudden landing among his friends on the
coast of France: to issue a manifesto calling
upon the people to join him; to raise his
standard, appeal to the army and march
toward Paris with all speed He is playing
for a big stake power or prison. OF course
circumstances may alter this, but the pres
ent intention is exactly as l have given it.
1.-The first steps have already been taken,
and with the utmost secrecy. The black
charger TuniS and four other horses were
dispatched Sunday night to Jersey in u
mysterious way. The general himself was
in q multi, and accompanied only by his
mistress and his secretary, left London by
the mail train last night, looking somewhat
paler but with an expression of what
looked like determination on his face
None of the servants at his house in Port
Land square knew anything last night about
his departure. He left the house with
little money and a carpet bag, but it may
be taken for granted that his most gaudy
uniform was not ommitted in his hasty
packing.
portland place was lit up asusual. The
drawing room was brilliant and a steady
light beamed from the generals empty Ii
brary. The usual stock of flowers was or
dePed yesterday morning to grace the table
and stores brought to last the household
week. But to day all will be changed
The landlord will receive months rent
IN lieu of notice and each servant will re
ceiYe four weeks wages on the same
grounds.
Boulanger lands at Jersey to-day and in
the evening ne will meet IN conference five
of his trusted military adherents, when a
plan of campaign will be arranged.
1.-THE meeting will take place at the prin-
cipal hotel where four rooms have been en-
gagged for the general. This conference
has been in process of arrangement for d
week past. They have held out to the
general the inducement that several regi-
ments will join his standard directly ii is
raised. Their contention is that if they can
get within i've miles of Paris, victory is
won, for Paris would go for Boulanger,
and what Paris thinks to-day, the whole of
France sometimes thinks to morrow.
1.-THE lady who dined with Boulanger at
the station hotel and shared the private
compartment reserved for him in the
train, is not in the first bloom of youth.
She wore a long travelling ulster with a
long fur boa. Boulanger wore brown
fur lined overcOat, and did not look
