Chicago, March 9.-A special to the Times-Herald from Washing ton says:
 The Italian request touching China was spoken of yesterday in new light. The action of King Humbert indicates that Italy is the first gov ernment to recognize officially the new status Of the United States among the powers.

 ltaly's efforts to secure the sup port, or at leas5 the passive consent, of the United States, did not end with the presentation of the note ard the receipt of Secretary Hay $ reply.

DREYFUS AFFAIR
Opinion Gains That Court of Cessation
will Recommend a Revision.
NJ. Dupuy fs Nursing . Scheme by Which
such Mild Action. with the Rehabili-
tation Of Both Dreyfus and ric-
quart. May square Both sides

LONDON, May 5.-Following Con-
stans' course in the Boulanger episode
the minister of the interior. NJ. Dupuy,
has Just obtained confidential reports
from projects throughout France re-
garding the condition of public opin-
ion on the Dreyfus evidence and the
possible course OF the court of cassa-
ton and the government.
The weight of the reports is that ex-
treme par,isaus on both sides remain
unmoved, but that the latest portions
of the evidence have much impressed
the large and influential body of opin-
ion which previously inclined toward
the staff and expected it would prove
It's case against Dreyfus Men of this
thinking have from the first
been open minded and hon
est AS Lieut.. Col Henry's
Dreyfus case, SO later evidence in
clines them TO retrial before another
court martial. The same body of opin-
ion is still more convinced of the need
of a thorough reform of the general
staff and the retirement, if not pun
ishment. of officers that blundered and
intrigued in the Dreyfus affair.
The temper which these reports indi-
cate prevails also in the chambers,
though the moderates are less strong
there than outside. M. Dupuy is shap-
ing his course accordingly and there
is excellent reason to believe that two
or three weeks hence NJ. Ballot De
Beaupre's report from the court of cas-
sation will recommend revision and
retrial, that the court perhaps by a
narrow majority will approve it, and
that all this will be done with the ap-
proval and cooperation of the gov
ernment.
M. De Freycinet, Furthermore, is pre-
pairing plan of reorganization of the
general staff, especially of the intelli-
gence department. Influential mem
bers of the military party, especially
generals unsmirched by Dreyfus in
trigues, are meantime urging
the government, for the sake
of the whole army, to punish
the culprits as lightly and quietly as
possible, and M. Dupuy, with char
acteristic opportunism, is nursing a
scheme by which such mild action,
with the rehabilitation Of both Drey-
fus and Picquart, may square both
sides.
