SATISFACTION IN WASHINGTON.
Ambassador Cnmbon Greatly Pleased
with tho New Cabinet.

W lth thc ANN" >dplhSts
Washington, June 23.--The an
nouncement that Waldeck-Rousseau
had finally succeeded in forming a
French cabinet brought sense OF re-
lief and satisfaction to diplomatic and
official circles At the French en-
bassy in particular the news that
cabinet had been formed was received
with satisfaction. Ambassador Cam
bon has some warm personal friends in
the cabinet, including the president.
Waldeck- Rousseau, who was minister
of the interior when M. Cambon was
prefect of the department du Nord,
position which brought them into close
association.
The ambassador has high estimate
of the ability of sagacity of the new
premier. 1t is noteworthy that besides
taking the presidency Of the cabinet
Waldeck- k-Rousseau has the courage TO
take the ministry of the interior when
its duties are particularly trying and
delicate. The position differs from
that in this country, In that the min
lister of the interior has charge of the
preservation Of peace throughout the
interior. Just now, when attention is
to be renewed to Dreyfus by his trial
at Rennes, the minister of the Interior
will have unusual responsibilities in
the maintenance of order.
The continuance of M. Delcasse at
the head of foreign affairs is another
source of satisfaction, as 1t assures
continuance of the foreign policy now
in operation. M, Delcasse has culti-
waited the most friendly relations with
the United States 1t was during his
ministry that the Spanish-American
peace negotiations were carried out by
M. Cambon and the present negotia-
tions for Franco American reci-
procity treaty were opened.
