The French Republic Fearful of
the Effect of the Scandal.
DISPLEASED AT REPORTS.
Hence Foreign Newspaper COrrespOn.
dents VIII Not Be Harbored.
Notwithstanding the Governments Pro-
fession of Security There Is Danger of
an Instruction and Troops Are
Read for Emergency.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-The government Is
greatly irritated at the exaggeration of
the Panama scandal by foreign Journal
lists, and has resolved to exercise to the
fullest extent in the suppression of such
reports, its authority to expel obnoxious
aliens. Today the expulsion was an
nounced of Bernascoui, the Paris CORE
spondent Of the Corriere Della Sera. a
newspaper of considerable circulation in
Milan, for having thrown suspicion upon
General Menabrea, formerly Italian am
oassador in Paris, as having been impli-
Gated In the Panama bribery. This ac-
ton is generally approved, as Marquis
Menabrea is a personal favorite with the
people OF France. Nobody believes the
charge against Menabrea and the insinua-
lions against Baron Mohrenheim are be-
ieved to be equally unfounded. The
government is also much dis
pleased with the reports sent
abroad regarding the danger of an
instruction. These aiarmist reports find
ready communication in the English
newspapers, but within a few DAYS. since
the ministry showed a resolution not to
harbor foreign correspondents striking at
the government, it is noticed that SEN
satlOnal utterances in the London press
predicting in yelled language the down
fall of the republic, are either confined to
the editorial columns, or dated in large
part from other capitals than Paris, just
as has been for a long time the rule of
certain London newspapers to date more
sensational Russian news from Vienna or
Berlin. 1t is rumoTed that the exemplary
action OF the government against alien re-
tailers OF the Panama scandal is not with
out sympathy among foreign correspond
ents themselves, some of whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
general corruption of the press. One cor
respondent of an English paper, unless
rumor does him great injustice, profted
largely by the desire of the Panama direc-
tors to keep certain facts regarding their
enterprise out of the public press.
Notwithstanding the governments pro-
LESSONS of security, there is not doubt
that troops of the Paris garrison are kept
ready for emergency, and that on q few
minutes notice any street in Paris would
be commanded by infantry, cavalry and
artillery. General LoiziIlon, the new
minister of war, had long conference
yesterday with General Saussier. 1t is
also known that General Saussier's visit
to President Carnot had other motives be-
sides desire of Saussier 20 disclaim any
ambition for the presidency. Carnot's
intimates assert that he is capable of
being as stern and resolute in the en-
forcement of authority as any man who
ever ruled France. Should Carnot be
compelled, his friends say to face either a
Monarchist or Anarchist uprising, he
would astonish the people with his sever
ity in crushing the insurrection
and Furnishing the guilty participants.
1t is stated that secret orders have been
sent to commanders of the army corps to
be ready to cooperate in case of necessity
with the civil authority and deal promptly
and thoroughly with any symptoms OF
INSTRUMENTATION in the army itself.
There is no reason to suppose, however,
that any subordination exists, as both
officers and soldiers are generally loyal to
the republic.
The attacks of foreign critics on the
republic have aroused indignation and
served to stimulate spirit of patriotism
which rises above factional differences.
Paris newspapers today show either de-
cided leaning or milder opposition toward
the government. The resolute course of
the ministry has had favorable influence
and a virtually unanimous approval of
expulsion of foreign detractors.
