PARIS. Oct. 26.-President Faure is taking the crisis quietly, and the belief Is stronger than it was yesterday that M. BrissOn fell because he wished to fall
 It is now rumored that General Chanoine resigned the War Office port folio out of pique at the refusal of the general staff committee to give him command of an army corps.
 Extraordinary police precautions have been ordered against possible disturbances ct the Court of Cessation tomorrow, where the Dreyfus revision appeal will be heard.
 Although there Is evidence of sup pressed excitement on all sides here. there has been no disturbance. The po- lice and municipal guards are out in strong force and they will not permit the crowds to assume dangerous strength But the situation was earn estly discussed by eager groups in the streets President Faure this morn ing received in audience Senator Lou bet, President of the Senate. and NJ Deschanel, President of the Chamber of Deputies.
 It is the intention of M. Faure to form a new Cabinet as rapidly as pos sible and the names of NM. Ribot and De Freycinet are the most prominently mentioned During the afternoon NJ. Faure consulted with Nj. Leygues. Vice President of the Chamber of Dep uties, who advised that the formation Of the Cabinet include among its mem bers NJ. Ribot and M. Dupuy as the principal Ministers.
 In the Hobbies of the Chamber of Dep uties to-day all shades of opinion ex- pressed the conviction that M. del Casse should remain at the head of the Foreign Office, so as to insure the con- tinuity of the Fashoda negotiations.
 The morning papers here treat the fall of the French Cabinet and the scene in the Chamber of Deputies all most to the exclusion of general news. All of them, however, dwell briefly on the Spanish crisis or the split in the Liberal party of Spain, without, how ever, direct reference to the Paris Peace Commission, except in the case of one newspaper, La Volante," which, in a Madrid article dealing with the in ternal situation in Spain, sums up as follows: Whatever may be said one way or the other regarding the situa- ton, one thing is apparent-that the moment is badly chosen for minis terial crisis. When dreadful calami- ties threaten Spain from the outside and at the moment when her destinies are being decided by the Paris con- ference, and at the moment when her flag was crushed at Porto Rico, the Liberal party is in a state of chaos and disagreement in the face of American pretensions which are daily becoming more arrogant, Spain finds herself with a Ministry without au- thority. Never has she needed more i'm peratively a strong Government, one more watchful and awake to outside questions. Instead of this, miserable internal quarrels are distraeting the at tention of those who ought to have no other occupation than the salvation of their country"
 The Matin. closing a brief resume of the Spanish situation, says: The council deliberated on the customs tariff of Porto Rico prematurely con- sidered as no longer forming part of Spain"
 The Petit Journal to-day publishes an interview with the former Minister of War, General Chanoine, who explained that he resigned on account of diff ference of opinion with the Minister of Marine, M. Brisson. He added that he had not demanded the prosecution of papers which had been attacking the army because he considered that the penalties provided by the laws were in- sufficient.
 The moderate papers say that yester- day realized their hopes, and the radi- cal and revisionist organs express be- lief in the existence of a military plot They urge a union of all republicans as the only means of giving stability to the future Ministry.
