one hundred and forty hshting men. are ap-

The left bank Of tho White Nile is so diffi

the thick bush that the gunboats cannot effect

cavalry to capture him.

MINISTER'S ARE PRACTICALLY UNANI-
NOUS IN FAVOR OF REVISION
Paris. Sept. 4.-Owing to the resignation by
W. Cavaignac Of the Ministry OF War President
Faure returned to Paris this morning and con-
ferred with NJ. Delcasse. Minister Of Foreign
Affairs; NJ. Bourgeois. Minister of Public Educa-
tion. and General Zurlnden.
The Cabinet will meet tomorrow expressly to
deal with request from Nine. Dreyfus for a
revision Of the proceedings of the court-martial
that condemned her husband.
As the Cabinet is now practically unanimous
IN favor Of revision-partly because Ministers
are aware that there is no other method of salts
flying public feeng-the outcome OF the meet
ing is almost foregone conclusion.
II is not thought that NJ. Cavaignac's retire
ment will Involve the resignation Of other Minis
ters. The fact that General Zurlinden has been
in conference with NJ. Faure is taken to mean
that ne will succeed NJ Csvaignac at the War
Once
The Ministerial conferences which have been
continued throughout the day, have had TO do
with the details Of revision. There Is no founda-
tion for the report that the Chambers will be i'm
mediately convoked.
According to 'Le Soir" President Faure. who
received VI Cavaignac to-day. strongly urged
him to withdraw his resignation. The paper also
asserts that the council tomorrow the Presi-
dent viii endeaVor 70 prevent decision in favor

macs military staff. Will retire at his own re-
quest

Governor Of Paris. IS mentioned in connection
with the War Once portfolio.
In her letter 10 VI. Sarrien. the Minister Of
Justice Nine. Dreyfus saws she addresses him
again. since he alone has the right TO demand
revision or the ground % new fact" She
argues that Lieutenant Colonel Hcnrys adms

opinion and put end 10 the punishment Of a
loyal and innocent man"
