WILL REVIEW DREYFUS CASE.
The Court Orders "A Revision But Does
Not Order the Prisoners Release.

PARIS. oct 20.-The Court of Casa
ton has decided to grant a revision of
the Dreyfus case and will institute a
supplementary inquiry
The court however has declined TO or
der the release of Dreyfus. The deci-
sion Of the court. textually. is as follows:
In view of the letter Of the Minister
Of Justice. dated September 90 1898. In
view of the arguments OF the Public Pro-
secutor denOuncing to the court the con-
domination pronounced by the first court
martial Of the military government OF
Paris. on December -. 1884. against Al
fred Dreyfus, then a captain of artillery
attached TO the general staff; In view of
all the documents IN the case and also
Of articles 4i3 TO li6 of the code OF crimi-
nal procedure. amended by the law of
June TO- 1886 relative TO the admissibility
Of an application in proper form for re-
vision.
Whereas. the matter has been brought
before the court by the public prosecu-
tor, in virtue OF the express order OF the
Minister of Justice whereas, the appli-
cation comes within the category OF the
cases contemplated In article 4i3 and mas
been introduced within the period fixed
by article Az; whereas, the judgment,
revision of which Is demanded has the
force OF a chose jagee; whereas. the doc
uments produced do not place the court
I'm a position to decide all the merits OF
the case and there is ground for making
a supplementary inquiry:
For these reasons the court declares
the application - be In proper form
and legally admissible. AMI states that
IL will Institute supplemental IN
quirv. and declares there is no ground
at tho present moment for deciding on
the public prosecutors application for a
suspension OF tho penalty.
The judges OF the court were occupied
for three hours and half in considering
tho Judgment.
The public. whose admission 10 the
court was regulated with the greatest
care. awaited the decision with marked
caimness.
During the suspension Of business the
public crowded into the lobbles and
manifested evident anxiety TO hear the
verdict There w1s no demonstration

PARIS, Get. 29.-While the Spanish and
American Peace Commissioners now
stand upon the threshold of the Philip
pine question it seems probable. in the
light Of this hour, that the United States
win take over the entire archipelago.
During the four days just passed those
in touch with, though possibly not in the
confidence Of the commissioners have felt
the concentration of tendencies toward
the standpoint indicated as likely 10 be
occupied by the United States commis-
sioners at Mondays session OF The Two
commissions.
THE PHILIPPINE DEBT.
In 1891 Spain issued by Royal decree
bonds In the sum Of SiO'01OO TO when
were pledged the revenues OF the Philip
pines and TO which the Spanish national
guarantee was attached. From these
Sl0.oJ0OoO of obligations Spain realized
5000. 90 in cash. These forty millions
represent the Philippine debt. which IS
entirely outside of the 100000 100 OF the
so-called Philippine and Spanish gene
raj debt.
The conditions also differ The Philip
pine debt having been created by Royal
decree because the archipelago was not
a parliamentary colony, while the So
called Cuban debt was created by law.
WANT TO GET RID or THEM
The difference raises the question OF
the non-resp0nsibility OF the Philippines
when removed from the Sovereignty un-
der which its resources were pledged.
Some well informed persons believe tnat
Premier sagasta has determined 10 be
rid of the Philippines AMI would direct
his comm ssiOn TO sign treaty oy
which the United States should take the
islands and assume the $40 c0o.WO Of debt.
MAY END NEGOTIATIONS.
On the eve of the Philippine negota-
tlons there is unofficial anticipation thar
no treaty will be signed which involves
the loss of the Philippines 20 Spain with
out large financial consideration. and 1t
would not cause surprise should the
Spanlards at some stage Of the consid-
eratlons. withdraw as 4 body. or If some
members should resign, effecting the
same result.
The American Commissioners to-day
received from washington full advices In
response to the submission OF their indi-
vdual views regarding the Philippine
question, and two sessions were held 10
consider these replies.

communication he had charged that pa

Upon being pressed he modified his
statements. saying that he had had no
consultations with the physicians as to
their line of treatment. He said. how

physicians incompetent He also charged
that appointments were made IN the nos
