rBy Anglo American cable TO the Dispatch.
PARfs, January 16.-The government is
greatly irritated at the exaggeration OF the
Panama scandal by foreign journalists and
has resolved TO exercise to the fullest ex-
tent, in the suppression of such reports.
the authority to expel obnoxious aliens.
To-day it ordered the expulsion Of Slgnor
Bernascoui, the Paris correspondent of
the Corriere d. Ia SOrd, newspa-
per of considerable circulation IN Mi
Lam for having thrown suspicion on Gen.
eral Menabrea, formerly Italian ambassa-
dor in Paris. az having been implicated IN
the Panama bribery. Nobody believes the
charge against Menabrea. who always pos
sessed a high reputation for integrity, ana
lnsiuuations against Baron Mohrenhelm.
the Russian Ambassador, are believed TO De
equally unfounded.
ALARsusT REPORTS.
The government is also much dispeased
with the reports that have been sent
abroad regarding the danger of an insur-
rection. These alarmist reports find ready
publication in English newspapers. but
within the few days since the Ministry
have shown resolution not TO
harbor foreign correspondents wuo
were striking at the government II
is noticed that the sensation. ut
terances of the London press predicting,
in yelled language. the downto It the
republic are either confined TO he 5dlto-
rial columns or dated in large part from
other capitals than Paris, Just - 1t mas
been for long time the rule o- certain
London newspapers to date tL !lr more
sensational Russian news from Vienna or
Berlin.
SOME CORRESPONDENTS TAINTED.
II is rumored that the action of the gov
ernment against the alien retailers OF "a
mama scandal is not without sympathy
among foreign correspondents. some OF
whose names have been mentioned IN con-
nectlon with the general corruption OF the
press. One correspondent Of an English
paper, unless rumor does him grave IN
Justice. profted largely by the desire Of
the Panama directors to keep certain
facts regarding their enterprise out ot
the public press. The report ls that pc
was not paid TO say anything IN favor OF
the company. but was paid 10 devote ms
attention to other subjects when the "a
mama enterprise might have Deen pront-
able field of investigation.
PREPARATIONS FoR TROUBLE.
Notwithstanding the governments pro-
fessiOns of security. there II no DOUBT that
the troops Of the Paris garrison are Hept
ready for an emergency, and that % atew
minutes notice any street IN Paris would
be commanded by infantry; cavalry, ana
artillery. General LOulzllOn, the new
Minister of War, had long con-
ference yesterday with General Saus,,
sier, and it is also known TINT General
Saussier's visit to President Carnot had
other motives besides the desire OF Saus-
sier 70 dlsclaIm ambition TOR the presl-
denCy. NJ. CarnOt's intimateS assert that
he Is capable of being as stern and reSo-
lutte in the enforcement of authority MS
any man who has ever ruled France should
the occasion arise, and that his courteous
and polished manners are the glove OF an
iron Will.
cABNoT's CAPABnITY.
Should Carnot be compelled, his friends
say. TO face either a Monarchist or an An
archist uprising, he wound astonlsh the
people with his severity in crushing the
insurrectlOu and Furnishing the guilty
participants. In some respects he IL
said TO greatly resemble his famous
ancestor of the revolutionary period.
and TO be fully as capable OF skill ana
energy in an emergency. Besides, he has
the complete confidence OF General Saus-
ser. aud. It is believed, Of the military
COi0WiNNbIb EtnfIhliN- ~ - SNAL''A eAi@N
secret orders have been sent 10 the COM
mauders of the army enioInng upon them
the necessity Of Gctng in conjunction WITH
the civil authorities, % deal promptly ana
thoroughly with any symptoms OF IN
subOrdinatiOn in the army itself.
THE ARMY LOYAL.
There ls no reason 20 suppose, however,
that any insubordinatIon exists. The
army, from the commanding generals TO
the soldiers IN the ranks, Is content with
It's treatment, and the system Of promo
tion has never been more fairly carried out
than under the administration Of Presl-
dent CarnOt. Both officers and sol
diers generally are loyal 10 the republic
and feel that their own interests are Identl-
fed with its maintenance. Both among
the army and among civilians the attacks
OF foreign critics On the republic have
aroused Indignation and served 20 stlmu-
late a spirit Of patriotism which rises above
fact.Oual differences.
THE PARIS PRESS AULDER.
The Paris newspapers to-day show either
a decided leaning or a milder opposition to-
ward the republic. The course OF the
Ministry mas had favorable influence,
and there IS virtually unanimous approval
Of the expulsion of foreign detractors
The prevalent tone and opinion are 20 the
effect that the country has seen the worst
of the Panama exposures, and that French
men should unite when the honor OF the
nation IS assalied by outside maliguers.
