DETRACTORS EXPELLED.
Newspaper Correspondents viii Have
TO Leave France.

10 Leave
PARIS, Jan. 19.-The Government is
greatly irritated at the exaggeration Of the
Panama scandal by 60 journalists, and
has resolved to exercise 10 the fullest ex-
tent in the suppression Of such reports its
authority to expel obnoxious aliens. To-
day the expulsion is announced Of Bernas-
coui, the Paris correspondent OF the Corrlere
della Sera, newspaper OF considerable cir
cnlation in Milan, for having thrown sus
picion upon General Menabrea, formerly
ILaAan Embassador In Paris, as having
been implicated in the Panama bribery.
THIS action is generally approved, as Mar
quis Menabrea is a personal fayorite with
the people of France. and nobody believes
the charge against him. The insinuations
against Baron Mohrenbeim are believed to
be equally unfounded. The Government
also is much displeased with the reports
sent abroad regarding the danger OF insur-
rectiOn. These alarnlst reports find ready
publication in English newspapers, but.
within a few days. since the Ministry
showed its resolution not TO harbor
foreign correspondents striking at the
Government, 1t is noticed the sensational
utteranees of the London press pre-
dieting in yeiled language the downfall Of
the republic are either confined to editorial
columns or dated, in a large part. from
other capits@ than Paris. just as has been
for long time the rule of certain London
newspapers to date their more sensational
Russian news from Vienna or Berlin.
It is rumored the exemplary action of
the Government against alien retailers OF
Panama scandal is not without sympathy
among the foreign correspondents them
selves, some of whose names have been
men toned in connection with the general
corruption of the press. One correspondent
of an English paper, unless rumor does him
grave injustice. profted largely by the de-
sire of the Panama directors TO keep certain
facts regarding their enterprise cut of the
public press.
The attacks OF foreign critics on the re-
public have aroused Indignation and served
10 stimulate a spirit Of patriotism which
rises above factional differences.
The Paris newspapers to-day show either
a decided leaning or milder opposition
toward the Government The resolute
course OF the Ministry has had favorable
influence. Virtually there is unanimous
approval of the expulsion of foreign de-
tractors
Notwithstanding the Governments pro-
fessions CT security there is not doubt
that the troops Of the Paris garrison are
kept ready for an emergency. and that in a
few minutes notice any street in Paris
would be commanded by infantry, cavalry
and artillery.
General Lozillon, the new Minister OF
War, had long conference yesterday with
General Saussier. 1t Is also known that
General Saussier's visit to President Car
not had other motives besides the desire Of
Saussier to disclaim his ambition for the
Presidency. Carno.'s intimates assert that
he is capable Of being as stern and resolute
in the enforcement; OF authority as any man
who ever ruled France, and should Carnot
be compelled, his friends say, to face either
a monarchist or anarchist uprising he would
astonish the people with his severity in
crushing the insurrection and punlshing
the guilty participants.
1t is stated secret orders have been sent
to commanders of army CORPS to be ready to
cooperate in case OF necessity with the civil
authorities. and deal promptly and thor
oughly with any symptoms of insubordina-
ton In the army Itself. There is no reason
to suppose, however. that any Insubordina-
tion exists. Both officers and soldiers are
generally loyal to the republic.
