Premier, M. Henri Brisson, and the late
Minister of War, NJ. Cavaignac, on the
subject Of the political situation in
France as it has been affected by the re-
cent developement in the Dreyfus case
are printed today in theSEcho DE Paris.
NJ. Brisson is reported to have said
that all the members Of the ministry
are convinced of the guilt of Captain
Dreyfus, but that the government must
consider the change that has come over
public opinion since the suicide last
week of 1iut.-Col. Henry. M. Brlsson
expressed the view that it is the duty OF
the government to end the excitement
which is paralyzing the business inter-
ests of Paris and of the country.
M. Cavaignac, in the course OF the in-
terview printed in the Echo De Paris
said that it would be serious mistake
if not a supreme act of folly on the part
of the government to persist in its
present course, and that he was not will
ling to participate in such policy.
''You will see'', said NJ. Cayaignac, Gin
what condition the country will be
after new trial."
The newspapers of Paris point out that
M. Cavaignac's S resignation of the war
portfolio, has produced powerful i'm
preston in political circles, which, while
recognizing the fact that the innocence
of Captain Dreyfus has not yet been dis
proved, take the ground new trial Of
the charges against the prisoner has be-
come necessary.
Itis said in some generally we'll in
