The report says that Col. Allen al

to take up the Phlnppine question be-
fore the United States Congressional
elections have taken place and they do
not want a certain alleged mystery,
previously disclosed by the Gaulois to
become known at present"
This refers to the alleged statement
that there has been some disagreement
between the United States and Spain
outside the protocol regarding Spanish
sovereignty an allegation which The
Associated Press has already declared
on high authority to be untrue.
The Gauiois affirms that the Span
iards are delaying solution of the
Cuban question until after the elections
in the United States, expecting them
to get better terms" adding that it
fears Spain does not perceive the ad !
vantages possible to her from the
electoral situation in the United States.

Gen. Chanoine is the fifth minister of
war who has declared himself absolutely
convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and the
third who has resigned on that account
His totally inexplicable and unexpected
action was certainly the chief sensation
IN day of sensational events. He dealt
veritable coup de jarnac to the cabinet
ana precipitated new struggle between
.ne military and civil authorities.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was the first time
Gen. Chanoine ever sat on the ministerial
bench, and his colleagues, knowing that
ne was unaccustomed to the tricks of ora
torical effects such as NJ. Deroulede in
dulged in, tried vainly to prevent him as
cendlng the tribune. He spoke briefly,
with painful incoherence, and then liter
ally bolted from the Chamber.
The scenes that followed were almost
indescribable. When NJ. Brisson appeared
IN the tribune he was received with in
suits and imprecations from all sides. bu,
he calmly stood his ground.
1t is said that President Faure declined
to receive Gen. Chanoine when the latter
called at the Elysee after boiling from
the Chamber. M. Faure sent out word
that he could only receive Chanoine's res
'6AotAOA tAIouSH M. bTlSSOn.
In subsequent interview between NJ
Faure and M. Brisson. it was agreed that
the portfolio of war could only be en-
trusted to a civilian In order to assert
me subordination of the military author
tiles.
Even now it is difficult to state clearly
why the ministry resigned, but there is n
very general belief that 1t was in order
to avon. If possible, serious street DEM
onstrations fomented by NM. Deroulede
and Drumont. Altogether some $50 ar
rests have been made
Nothing now Is heard about Fashoda,
but 1t is regarded as extremely probable
that the cabinet crisis will be utilized e
put Al. Hanotaux back in the foreign
Office. M. Meline is also mentioned as d
possible new premier to succeed the re
firing Brtsson. who had succeeded him.

MANILA TROOPS,

New York, June l3,-it may be stated
with posItlvcnss that the war department
has no present intention OF sending any
more troops TO san Francisco for tho

been ordered there, says the Washington
correspondent Of tho Times:
Gen. Merritt stated before leaving New
York that he wanted 10000 men to take
to Manila, and that he Intended TO have
that number. 1t was generally accepted
that Cen Merritt won his point and that
the department promised him the men he
asked for,
1t is now stated that instead OF the 20 900
men he has been counting on, only 5000
have been assembled at San Francisco
and that the future governor-gcneral or
the Philippines is getting uneasy about
tho other 1900,
Admtant- General Corbln has several
times recently, In response to direct In
qures stated that 1t was not Intended
20 send any more troops 10 the Philippines
than those already selected for the work.
