PARIS, June 26.-At the Cabinet council
to-day NJ Loubet the President signed Or
ders making the following changes: M.
Bertrand, procurator general to the Appeal
Court, and M. Feuilloley, public prosecutor.
are both removed. M. Bulot, advocate gen.
eral, is appointed public prosecutor. M.
Lombard, whose dismissal on account of
the Deroulede trial has been much criti-
cised as unjust, is appointed advocate gen.
eral. NJ. Bertrand's successor has not yet
been appointed. General Hartschmidt, Gen.
eral Roget, Colonel SAKE and Colonel Cou-
bertin are transferred to other garrisons.
NJ. Lombard, as advocate general, resumes
his old post. General Roget was the repre-
sentative of the general staff before the
Court of Cessation. Colonel Coubertin is
credited with having advised his men at
Longchamps on Grand Prix Sunday to fire
If they heard the army insulted in their
presence. With the exception Of Coubertin
all the transferred officers have received
equally important positions.
At the Cabinet meeting the premier, M.
Waldeck-Rousseau, read a draft of his
speech In parliament tomorrow, which will
be very brief, merely announcing that the
new Ministry has no aim but to follow out
the order Of the day voted on June II, on
the motion Of Joseph Ruau, Democratic
Radical, representing the Second district of
st. Gaudens, which was as follows: THE
chamber is determined to support only a
government resolved to defend vigorously
republican institutions and to secure public
order, and passes to the order of the day."
The fetes in memory of General Hoche
at Versailles. passed off quietly.
M. Ribot in the course Of a speech at a
banquet last evening, and probably with a
view to another ministerial crisis, said: 1T
would be madness to wound the army's feel
ing or to doubt its right spirit
Nine. Dreyfus has obtained permission to
visit her husband in prison at any time be.
tween sunrise and sunset.
The Tage Gone to Meet the Sfax.
BREST. France, June 25-The French
first-class cruiser Tage put to sea this
evening. the official explanation being that
she has gone to experiment with carrier
pigeons. She is. however, much larger
cruiser than the Sfax, which is bringing
Captain Dreyfus. and the dispatch o. such
big vessel with carrier pigeons is quite un-
precedented. Usually torpedo boat is sent,
and the opinion. therefore, gains ground
that the Tage has gone to meet the Sfax
and to take Captain Dreyfus on board. The
pigeons can be used to announce the trans
fer, and the Tage might proceed to another
port to land the prisoner. AS against this
theory and as an indication that the and
ing of Dreyfus will be effected here, there
is the fact that large number of gend-
armes from the country around Brest are
arriving or expected to arrive tonight.
The treasurer of the famous League OF
the French Fatherland reached Brest this
evening from Paris, and as this organization
has been at the bottom Of the anti-Dreyfus
movement, 1t Is thought he has probably
come to organize a demonstration.
