PARIS, June %, 1s9S.-In consequence of
NJ Peytrars friends insisting that a
Radical Socialist must be given one Of
the portfolios, M. Dupuy, NJ. Leygues
and M. Delombre had declined to enter
such Cabinet, and NJ Peytral, therefore,
has abandoned the task of forming a
Ministry.
President Faure has now invited M.
Henri Brisson to form Cabinet, but the
latter has pointed out the difficulties
which had been accentuated by the fail
ures of NM. Sarien and Paytral to form
a Ministry, and he has asked until Sun
day evening to consider the matter.
NJ. Henri Brisson was recently Presi-
dent Of the Chamber of Deputies, for
the third time. and was defeated for
reelection on the second ballot, June 2,
by the Government candidate, M. Desch-
anel. NJ Brisson was elected for the
third time President of the Chamber on
January u, 1897 In 1881 he succeeded M.
Gambotta in that office and retained it
until 1855, when on the overthrow of
the Ferry Ministry, he accepted the Pre-
miership. In 1894, NJ. Brisson was again
elected President of the Chamber of Dep
uties, and in 1888 he was an important
candidate for the Presidency of France.

CUBA, Thursday, June %, via Kingston,
Jamaica, Friday, June "a, Z r. M.-Now
that the American land forces are threat
ening the City of Santiago de Cuba, the
topographic conditions prevailing in that
vicinity become interesting. Baiquiri,
where the first landing was made. and
Jaragua, where General Lawtons head
quarters were last night, are both small
coast towns in the throat of narrow cuts
through range of low hills fringing all
the Southern coat. Baiquiri is twelve
miles East of Santiago, and Jaragua is
eight miles East of that city, by the coast
line road which runs behind the hills
twice as far. 1t is called here a wagon
road; but, it is practicable only for heavy,
two-wheeled carts, with difficulty, having
six bullochs yoked to them, tandem
fashion and drawing very small load.
The pioneers report that the trail is
practicable for artillery and pack-trains;
but, it is unspeakably bad even for walk
ing though it is reasonably level.
Our troops have now passed all the
small hills intervening between here and
Santiago. The remaining twelve miles by
road is over a practically level country.
with mora chance for open order. So far.
however, the road has been walled and in
most places er-arched with inpregnable
iungle-growth, thorns and creepers, smell
ing like the interior of fragrant, over
heated conservatory, and picturesque
with splashes of tropic color in olean-
ders and other flowers. but terrible for
troops
For half mile near Demajayaho, a
small stream runs in the road and the
men have been compelled to walk i'll Wa

incidentally, the medical advice about
wet feet night winds or perspiration-
soaked bodies and the necessity Of boiling
drinking water has already been thrown
to the winds. Easy as the advice sounds
at home. it is almost impossible to follow
it here.
Some Of the American officers who are
familiar with Arizona say they have
never seen soldiers on the plains present
such pictures of distress from the heat,
and they add that the only wonder is that
there are so few prostrations at present.
