Paris. Sept. s.-M- Cavaignac, min
lister for war, has resigned.
The resignation of NJ. Cavaignac IS
due to a disagreement with his col
leagues who desire a revision OF tho
Dreyfus case. thus a revision Of the
case seems assured.
NJ. Cavaignac sent the following let
ter to NJ. BriSSon, premier and presi-
dent of the council:
Il have the honor to send you, and
beg you to transmit to the president
Of the republic, my resignation as min
ister of war. There exists a disagree
ment between US which, being pro-
longed,, would paralyze the government
at time when 1t most needs full unity
of decision.
II remain convinced of the guilt OF
Dreyfus and as determined as hereto
fore to combat a revision Of the case.
I do not intend TO shfrk the responsf-
bility of the present situation, but I
cannot assume them without being in
accord with the chief of the govern
ment to which have the honor TO be-
long"
WHAT DECIDED CAVAIGNAC-
These are the circumstances which
led NJ. Cavaignac to resign:
After the discovery of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry's forgery, thes govern
ment sought means to reassure the
public. The question of revision was
broached- Certain ministers believed
the time had come to throw full light
and 70 establish every responsibility.
VI. Cavaignac strongly objected. He
declared that he was convinced OF the
guilt of Dreyfus. NJ. Brisson vainly
pointed out to NJ. Cavaignac that the
revision would be purely judicial N.
CavaiSnac replied that revision could
only be justified only if some new fact
developed to show that there had been
a judicial error and that no such fact
existed, Henry'S forgery being subse-
Guent to the conviction Of DreyfuS and
only indirectly connected with it
CONFERENCE OF MINISTRY.
NJ. Bourgeois, recalled from Switzer-
land, made a new effort, but NJ.
Cavaignac still refused. The latter saw
NJ. BrissOn, the premier, and declared
that his determination was immOvable
and that he would resign. After NJ.
Cavaignac's departure, a conference
was held at the ministry of the inter
Tor between NJ. BrisSOn, Minister BOur-
geois and Sarrien. About O'Clock, N.
Cavaignac's letter of resignation was
received. 1t is assumed that a major
ity of the cabinet accept the views Of
NJ. BrissOn, as the others maintain
their portfolios. The resignation of NJ.
Cavaignac enables the government to
decide the matter, and it is believed
NJ Cavaignac's successor at the war
office will soon be appointed and a def
mite resolution taken.

to its normal condition. The midway,

away with. The scores of frame
shacks are being torn down, and the
people who did business in them are
leaving for new fields of operations.
The Ohio hospital train arrived at
camp this morning. 1t will leave for
Columbus with the sick Ohio volun-
teerS tonight.

While this government has strong rea-
