nocencA-The Generals Will
Have to Explain.

Paris. Oct. 3o.-By Saturdays decision
the court OF cessation obtains the most
absolute control over the Dreyfus case.
1t can demand and examine any docu-
ments whatever. including the dossier,
Of any case bearing upon the Dreyfus
matter and can examine, under oath,
any witness. however high his position
In short. II the court makes a sincere
use OF Its powers. the truth will have q
much better chance Of being discovered
than would have been the case had 1t
merely ordered revision before another
court martial, whose members might
have been actuated by a desire to shield
the general stan.
Having concluded its inquiry, Il can
present a new dossier to either q civil
or military court for the final decision.
Its proceedings will not be public and
there can. therefore. be no objection to
an examination of the alleged secret
dossier. II this Is still in existence. while
the numerous generals who have ex-
pressed their belief in the guilt of Drey-
fus will now be called on to explain the
grounds OF their convictions.
Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered the court can
order him brought to France at any
moment. and will probably do so at an
early stage of the inquiry. The court
refrained from ordering his release on
Saturday because 1t would have been a
presumption of his innocence.
Paul de Roulede of the Patriotic
league turned the patriotic manifesto
tion at La Bourget to-day in memorial
OF the soldiers who fell there in the
Franco-Prussian war OF 1870 into a rev.
olutionary demonstration against the
decision of the court or cessation. He
delivered a violent anti-Dreyfus speech.

A Serious Dilemma.

London. Oct 31.-The Paris corre-
spondent Of the Times. pointing out that
a serious dilemma has now developed
in the Dreyfus affair. says: IF the Sc
cret dossier is now communicated to
the court OF cessation. 1t Is conceivable
that IL may incriminate Dreyfus. but II
will certainly convict General Merciar.
the minister Of war at the time of the
conviction Of Dreyfus. of a criminal
violation Of law in communicating to
the court martial documents that were
not communicated to Dreyfus and his
counsel. II is said that In order to shield
General Mercier. who acted thus ow'n-
to his weakness or his ignorance, tina,
all subsequent ministers of war have
adopted an obstinate attitude.
IF. on the other hand. there never
has been a secret dossier. the whole
case rests on the bordereau and must
fall to the ground. How then, since
Lieutenant Colonel Henry's admission
of forgery. could the generals still have
declared Dreyfus' guilt?
THE allegation that the dossier. IL
there be one. contains a letter from
Emperor william to Colonel Schwaar-
koppen German military attache in
Paris) Is utterly improbable. In view Of
the emperor's character and habits. He
would never have written to a military
attache."

PARIS IS QUIET.

The Decision Has Delayed the Cabinet
Crisis.
Paris, Oct 30.-Nowhere is there any
sign Of agitation to-day. The city is
quiet. The anti-Semite papers vainly
endeavored by using the judgments of
the courts of cessation to lash the pub
lie into q hostile demonstration, but the
people seem rather inclined to resent
the culpability or imbecility of the
high officers of the general staff. who
allowed themselves to become the prey
of INSCRIPTIONS forgers. This refers
especially TO the officers deputed to in
vestigate the Dreyfus affair. 1t Is be-
lieved even now that important factors
are being concealed in order to shield
the headquarters STAFF.
Most of the Paris papers approve the
decision of the court of cessation, al
though the Gaulois and the Eclair de-
clare that even now revision is by no
means certain. The Liberte bows TO
the decision but does not think IL will
end the agitation. The Figaro an
nounces that Comte Esterhazy has
been deprived of his membership in the
Legion of Honor.
The Dreyfus decision seems to have
delayed solution Of the cabinet crisis.
M. De Freycinet Is again hesitating
to accept the portfolio of minister Of
war on the ground that in view of the
role the Protestants have played in the
Dreyfus case, II would be inadvisable
for two Protestants, himself and NJ.
Ribot. to hold the portfolios of war and
Justice.

called From Cube.
Havana, Oct 30.-Colonel Hecker and
Colonel Lee of the United States special
transport commission received cable
grams from Washington last night direct
ing their return to Washington by the nrst
steamer availa BILE. The messages. which
were from Secretary Alger. were very
brief. simply directing the recipients to re-

considerable perplexity as to the object
OF the recall.

Washington. but up to the hour of the Ill
ing of this dispatch no rejoinder had been
received. thus leaving the matter OF Colo
mel Hecker's departure doubtful. though
Colonel Lee will leave tomorrow by the
Ward line steamer Seneca
The supposition is that the death Of
Colonel George waring. jr.. In New York
city has necessitated some change In the
plans of the war department. General
Wade and Lieutenant Clous had a long
conference with Colonel Lee and Colonel
Hecker this evening. Colonel Lees de-
parture will leave the commission trans

is highly significant.
