A Coup D.E,at Planned Ernnc..

According to the dispatches from Paris
a military coup d'etat was planned for last
Saturday, when the Minister of War. Gen.
Chanoine, was expected to be absent: Ac-
cording to the Paris newspapers, the prime
movers in the conspiracy were Gen. de
Boisdeffre and Gen. Pellieux, who have
been conspicuous in the prosecutions of
Dreyfus, lola and Col. Picquart, and it is
further alleged that Gen. Zurlinden. the
military governor of the city, who is keep
ing Picquart secretly confined ia a military
prison, was implicated in the scheme. Ac-
cording to some journals, the purpose of
the cabal was to bring about a restoration
of the empire in the person of Prince Louis
Bonaparte, who is a colonel of Russian
Lancers, and in whose favor his elder
brother, Prince Victor, recently resigned
the leadership of the Imperialst party.
The preponderant opinion, however, is
that the intention of the conspirators was
not to disturb President Faure, who is
known to be an anti-revisionist, but to ar
rest the members of the Brisson cabinet
and to compel the appointment of a min
istry opposed to retrial of Dreyfus.

berian road that is to more tightly
bind together the remotely removed
sections of the Russian empire and

No Reiuiorcements for Porto Rico.

Neither the 1st Maine nor any or
the II other regiments which were oe-
tached from their commands to form a
division for Porto Rican service under
General Wade. are TO have the long de-
sired opportunity Of breaking camp
and moving to the front. General Miles
does not need any more men and has 80
informed the government. Consequent
" the orders which had filed the
hearts of our Maine soldiers with de-
light, have been promptly revoked, and
for the present, at least, our regiment
will remain at Chckamauga. There
has been strong feeling that the send
ing of IS more regiments to Porto Rico
was not necessary move in the cam
pagn 1t is we'll that the government
has discovered this in time to stop the
expedition and save the great expense
it would involve.
AS much as Maine would like to sec
its regiment at the front where it could
show the stuff 1t is made of and win
the laurels that creditable participa-
ton in active warfare brings, it is
nevertheless far better for the boys t.
stay in camp and to return home with
out seeing a Spaniard or firing a hostile
gun than to have the name of being
sent on picnic excursion at the gov
ernment's expense just to please thei.
vanity. OF course the routine of camp
life is irksome and the boys long to
have an active part in the war, but the
true soldier does the duty that is near
est and utters no complaint. 1t is no
discredit OF reelection upon the regi-
ment that is kept at Chicka-
manga. 1t is the fate of war,
or. perhaps, in this case the
fate of peace. The course Of
events, however may yet give the LIST
Maine a change of scene and more
agreeabl work than camp routine be-
fore it returns home to be mustered
out.

The Sultan was much impressed by
the terrible execution done by the
American navy at Santiago, but not
sufficiently so to prevent his giving q
point blank refusal to the American
demand for indemnity for losses sus-
tanned by American subjects during
the Armenian maSSacres. Perhaps it
VIII be necessary to let Watson's
squadron go to the eastern end of the
Mediterranean, instead of stopping at
the western. The United States is not
in position now to be snubbed by
