Government Must Not Defy
Public Opinion.
Sarrien Promises to Render a Decision
Regarding the Application of Ma
dame Dreyfus for a Revision Of
Her Husbands Case.

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Interviews with Pre-
mier Henry Brisson, and the late minis
ter of war, Cavaignac, on the subject of
the political situation as affected by the
recent developments in theDreyfus case,
are printed in the Echo de Paris. Bris-
son said all the members of the minis
try are convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus,
but the government must consider the
change that has come over public
opinion since the suicide of Henry.
Brisson expressed the views that 1t is
the duty of the government to end the
excitement which is paralyzing the best
interests of the government.
Cayignac said it would be a serious
mistake if not supreme act of folly on
the part of the government to persist in
its present course, and he was not will
ling to participate In any such policy,
under the circumstances.
The newspapers point out that Cavig-
macs resignation of the war portfolio has
produced painful impression in polit-
ical circles, which, while recognizing the
fact that the innocence of Dreyfus has
not been proved, take the ground that a
new trial of charges against the prisoner
of DEVILS island has become absolutely
necessary.
When the cabinet met today the min
lister of justice, Ferdinand Sarrien, in
formed his colleagues of Nine. Dreyfus'
request for a REVISION of the verdict
against her husband. Sarr:en promised
to give a statement of the result of his
examination into the matter at meet
ing of the cabinet, to be convened after
the minister of war shall have been ap-
pointed.
The premier explained the reason act
uating Generals Saussier and Seurlen-
den in declining the Office of minister of
war. He was now awaiting a decision
of the other generals to whom he had
offered the portfolio.

THE CUBAN SUFFERERS.

We alluded, several days ago
to the terrible condition Of the
Cuban insurgents, and suggested
that it would be an act of Obliga-
tory kindness to aid them as they
have brought very much money
into these Islands, by destroying
the sugar production of Cuba.
The last mail from Washing
ton brought the suggestion from
several persons, that, in view of
the intense feeling in the United
States. on behalf of the Cubans,
il would be even more than a mere
act of generosity, if this com
munity would render some mater
ial aid to these unfortunate peO-
pie.
No community has received
more gifts, without making an
adequate return from them, than
this. While the people of Ameri-
ca are vet under financial pres
sure. and many thousands of per
sons, even millions, have suffered
during the last four years, from
the stagnatiOn Of trade, these very
people have, by their Legislative
acts, kept the people of these Isl
ands. in a state of great, even
alarming prosperity. And they
are becoming aware of what they
have done. From a rather sci
fish standpoint, therefore, it is
we'll to show them that we are
with them in their sympathy and
aid for Cuban independence.
Even luau, in behalf of these
suffering people, might combine
the business of charity with the
pleasure of living.

The Question OF Policy as to Our Action at

Serve az Precedent for other
Parts of Cuba

Washington, July 1G-The political
status of Santiago, its method of gov
eminent and administration is now
receiving earnest attention from the
authorities here, for, with the acquisi-
ton of several thousand square miles
of Cuban soil, with large commercial
port and harbor as its center, it be-
comes necessary to determine how it.
shall be administered. For the pres
ent ii is expected the military author
tiles will have entire direction of af-
fairs, both at Santiago city and the
outlying country. When the details
of the surrender are carried out, there
will be time to consider the larger
question of the pernthnent status of
this tract
If the precedent Of Manila is fol-
lowed, in which case Gen. Merritt was
sent as military governor, then a mill
tary official will be designated to adj
minister affairs at Santiago city and
thereabouts. But it is appreciated
that the conditions are quite different
at Santiago from those at Manila, as
the government has disclaimed a.
purpose to make territorial acqui-
sition in Cuba and has directed its
efforts thus far to making Cuba.
free and placing Cubans in con-
troll. This condition may lead
to consideration of expediency of al
lowing the Cubans themselves to es-
tablish an administration at Santiago,
thus giving them the opportunity to
try thar ability at directing civil af-
fairs and also giving them a foothold
on the island. In that event Gen.
Garcia, being on the ground, would
doubtless figure prominently in the
administration, although President
Masso and his cabinet are said to be
in the adjoining province of Puerto
Principe and readily accessible TO San
tiaCo.
| No determination has been reached,
so far as can be learned, as to the form
of administration, for, until, the sur
render itself is completed, the author
tiles here are not disposed to settle
the details of questions which natural
! ~ follow the surrender. II is felt,
however, that an important question
of general policy hinges on the action
at santiago, as IL is the FIRST Cuban
territory to be acquired by our army,
and to some extent the determination
as to its method of civil administers
ton will serve as precedent for the
civil administration of other parts of
Cuba when it is overrun by our army.
