London, June 16-An unconfrmed
report is circulated here that Agni-

Il was associated with Mr.. Bland the

can speak only in the highest terms. He
was as good friend as he was q pub
lie man. He was a man of perfect in
tegrity, whose public career of twenty

FRENCH CABINET.
M. Poincare Accepts the Task Of
Forming a New Ministry.

PARIS, June 15-M. Poincare ir-
formed President Loubet this morning
that he would accept the task of form
ing a Cabinet. He will take the war
portfolio, in addition to the Presidency
of the Council
NJ Moline, in an interview with M.
Poincare, strongly urged the latter to
form Cabinet, whose main plank will
be the settlement of the Dreyfus af-
fair.

members of the Chamber of Deputies,
including many Socialists, will be con-
tented with an order of the day. censur-
ing General Mercier, the former Minis
ter of War, for the part he has taken
in the Dreyfus case. instead of his
prosecution. If this could be done, it
would remove one of the most serious
causes of friction between the factions.
There is still some doubt whether NJ.
Poincare will succeed in forming a
Ministry. He wishes MN. Ribot and
Barthou to join him. but the Radicals
object to their presence in the Cabinet,
It is understood that NJ. Del Casse will
remain at the Foreign Office.
Private conversation of NJ. Krantz,

has been published here, which repre-
sent him as still believing that Drey-
fus is guilty. If this be the case, he
is nct likely to appear in the new Min

The Dreyfus agitation is far from
having subsided. Quarrels between Of
ficers at Brest, where Dreyfus will dis
embark, have just led to two duels; and
numerous Mayors have been suspended
for refusing to placard the Judgment of
the Court of Cessation.
Madame Loubet received last week
hundreds of anonymous letters, written
on superfne paper in elegant penman-
