AWAITS THE RESULTS
OF COURT MARTIAL

PARIS, June 25.-The Journal publishes
the report Of an interview with Marquis
de Galifet, Minister of War in the new
Cabinet. in which he is quoted as saying
that he does not intend TO proceed against
General Zurlinden, General de Bois-
deffre, General Gonz or General Pei
lieux, and is convinced that none of his
colleagues in the university contemplate
rigorous measures which would resemble
persecution For himself his opinions
expressed in his letter of April Is, We're
unchanged but, as a Minister, he would
share the responsibility Of the act of the
Cabinet, unless he was forced to separate
from it in the event of measures being
adopted which he considered iniquitous or
dangerous.
In his letter to NJ Waldeck- Rousseau,
accepting the War portfolio, he said he
would protect and defend the army while
strictly holding it to its duties, and added:
Il know no officer who has been more
abused than l have. have never INDUCED

Dreytus IS innocent or guilty. II have
never doubted the innocence of Picquart." "
In concluding the interview, the War
Minister dictated the following: II give
my word of honor that none of the Min

armament by Francisco Reyes, who
went to the port of Isabella de Basilan
to take possession, but the boats dis
appeared the night previous to his ar
rival. Afterward he found them moored
in a neighbOring bay.
When Reyes claimed them he found
Spanish sailors removing the guns
When he protested they threatened to
sink the ships if he interfered Then
the guns, numbering sixty, We're drag
ged ashore and used in besieging Fam

ing to wrest from Aguinaldo. Reyes
has not seen the ships since and has
not obtained the return of the purchase
