New York, July 17.-It is now stat'
ed, says the Paris correspondent of
the Tribune. the present cabinet has
decided in the event of the acqutttaI
of Dreyfus, at Rennes, which is re"
garded as almost certainty, to hush
up the whole scandal. This is consid-
eded in political circles to be the vital
question with which France will be
confronted as soon as the court-mar-
tiaI at Rennes, has pronounced It's
judgment.
Would the "IIushInG Up" Work:
In spite of the weight OF authority
of NJ. Ribot and of the influential re-
publican papers like the Temps and
the Debats, people are beginning 10
ask whether such policy of 'hushing
up" and of shielding those who are re-
sponsible for the terrible conspiracy
against an innocent man would not de-
stroy confidence in the republic.
For Truth and Justice.
A large and apparently increasing
body of republicans, including, OF
course. all the radicals and socialists,
who, from the very outset of the prey-
fus affair. have been constantly on the
side of truth and justice and have
thereby gained enormously III political
power-show signs of insisting on The
most drastic investigation into all the
