Speeidi Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun
PARIS. Feb. 1.-Reports. which are too con-
sistent TO ignore. are current In the lobby OF
the Chamber OF Deputies that there Is a diver
gence OF opinion in the Cabinet concern
ing an amendment proposed by NJ. Crup-
ri, member OF the committee to which
was referred the Government bill altering
Article 4l5 Of tho Criminal Code so that all
cases involving revisions Of trial shall be sub
mitted to the united chambers OF the Court
OF Cessation The effect OF the amendment
would be TO compel the united chambers OF
the court themselves TO pronounce definitely
in revision cases instead OF sending them back
for a now trial.
The adoption OF this amendment would force
the Chambers to Judge Dreyfus instead Of
having a new court-martial 1t is stated that
NJ Lebret. Minister OF Justice. aud n.
Krantz, Minister of Public Works. threaten
TO resign II the remainder OF the Cabinet. who
approve the amendment. decide TO support IL.
This report is contradicted. but 1t is believed
that there is lack OF harmony in the Cabinet.
The Temps says that NJ Charavey, cali
graphic expert. who declared In 1894 that
Dreyfus wrote the bordereau. has been exam
ined by the Court OF Cessation. He confessed
that he now has doubts concerning the author
ship OF that document. and expressed a wish to
re9xamine Il.
A despatch TO La PreSse from Cayenne says
that the steamer St Germain arrived there on
Dec. 20. bringing the questions that the Court
Of Cessation desires Droyfus to answer When
the prisoner received the questions he refused
TO write or dictate answers or to reply In any
way until he should be taken back to Paris.
