had Gained down during the past few
days, to the fever point.
The anti-Dreyfusites are doing every
thing possible to discredt the Court Of

of Dreyfus

THE CRISIS DIDN'T PAN OUT.
sngRsta's Ministry VIII Hold ON for
Little While Anyhow.

Little While Anyhow.
Madrid, jan 1O-Senor Sagasta had an
hours audience with the Queen Regent to-
day and afterwards announced that there
was no cabinet crisis, that he would not
submit vote Of confidence, and that he
believed The present ministry would pre-
sent itself to Parliament.
Senor sagasta's statement has caused
much excitement In political circles, where
1t had been believed that a cabinet crisis
was inevitable. IL Is not yet clear whether
the crisis is merely deferred until after the
next cabinet meeting, or whether Senor Sa-
gasta has succeeded in iudcing certain
colleagues to reconsider their resignation.
Several dissident conservatives, including
the Duke of Tetuau, minister OF foreign
affairs in the Canovas cabinet. and To-
mas Castellanos, former minister for the
colonies, have apparently decided to Join
senor Sagasta. Other members of the
party have attached themselves to senor
Silvela so that the dissident Conservative
party, as an organization, may be con-
sidered dissolved.

Hong Kong, Jan. 1O.-The Filipino COM
mittee here has broken off all relations
with the United States consul, Rounse-

American government recognized the Fill
pIuos as belHgerents by affording them as
slstance in arms, and moral inhuenee to
cooperate against Spain, thus indorslng

London Jan. 1O.-The conference between
Marquis de Noailles and Kaiser William
is the chief topic at all the European chan
cellories, and there are all sorts of ru-
mors, for the most part purely guess work
The conference seems, however, TO be a
token of growing friendship between Ger
many and France arising from mutual
interests.
Emperor William has long endeavored
by tactful' civilites to extingush the
French chronic hatred of Germany. His
amenities were lukewarmly received by
France until French interests, as is now
the case, began to dictates culdyatiug
Germany; while the concentration Of
French hatred upon England tends to de-
fleet it from Germany. This, the EN-
peror proposes to utilize in furtherance Of
his policy.
