LONDON. Nov. 8.-The Chronicle this morn
ing makes n prominent feature Of an astound-
ing narrative received from q trusted corre-
spondent In Paris, who declares that his story
is absolutely authentic. however It may be CON-
tradicted, The Eist OF the narrative 10
that II tho Court OF Cessation pronounce
for q revision OF the trial of Dreyfu5, and this
is effected publicly. 1t will entail the disgrace
OF one General, perhaps two. the cashierinE Of
several other exalted officers, and the e~ffeotual
demolition Of the monument OF lies and
forgeries erected by the General Staff with
the moro or less taoit cooperation OF successive
War Ministers" II the Court OF Cessation
simply DEGREES the quashing OF the flrst trial IL
will inevitably necessitate the immediate pros
ecution OF certain individuals, the proceedings
involving highly placed personages in grave
charges. Therefore organized efforts are being
made to bring about concurrently with the
publication Of the court's decision 4 riotous
outburst In Paris. preliminary to an attempt
to overthrow the OWL power. The promoters
OF the scheme are aided by those military and
civil personages who have cause to dread the
revelations.
One OF tho contemplated features OF the riot
was the assassination of distinguished Frenoh-
men who have striven to avert the evils
threatening the country. The police are
aware that these men have been marked for
assassination and have directly warned them
that they run o great risk In even
remaining In Paris. They have advised them
80. - $780, n l-.l-l
Notwithstanding the fact that carrying such
weapons is illegal. Tho police have also offered
TO place officers IN multi near the residences Of
these men day and night. and to have police
men attend them while they are outdoors.
Among those marked for killing are an ex-
Minister OF Justice and several prominent men
OF letters and journalists. Meanwhile the
members Of the Court Of Cessation are mum
dated with threatening letters.
The Chronicle, before printing the story, in
structed its own correspondent to interview
NM. Trarleux. Clemenceau and De Pressense
on the subject. NJ. de Pressense told the cor
respondent that the story was quite true.
The POLICE had warned certain men. himself
included. to take every precaution to protect
themselves and to change their residences
temporarily. He had taken the warning, and
was living with a friend outside OF Paris. NJ,
do Pressense limited that the persons making
the threats were "a mob led by Jules GuSrin. p
NJ. Trarieux acknowledged that IL he had
been nervous the threats he had received dur
ing the last three weeks might have disturbed
his equanimity. He has armed himself with a
revolver. and has informed the authorities that
he will not hesitate to 20 to any extremity in
self-defence.
When asked II he believed the general staff
was behind the menaces he replied: well.
there are one or two. who. dreading the immi-
nent brand Of infamy. would stick at nothing.
Happily their horrible Vaccinations are too
late"
