DREyFUS GAINS GREAT POINT.
JueIeiai Examination TO BE Made Of Famous
Case.

Paris (By Cable).-The efforts oi
Alfred Dreyfus to secure judicial ex-
animation OF his case have at last been
crowned with success. After cxamin-
ing the dossier in the case submitted
10 him by General Andre, the minister
CT war. Minister OF Justice Vallc has
transmitted that document. together
with the petition OF Dreyfus, for a re-
vision OF his sentence to M. Durand,
the president OF commission insti-
tuted by the Ministry OF Justice. This
commission will pronounce upon the
Ednrissibility OF the request for a revi-
sion of sentence.
M. Dreyius owes the favorable ac-
tion taken to the careful consideration
given the case by Minister Andre,
whose conclusions are regarded as in
the highest degree favorable to Drey-
fus, since they determined the Minis
ter OF Justice to refer the question OF
a revision to commission.
Nothing has yet transpired to indi-
cate that General Andre has discov-
cred documents OF doubtful authentic
ity, or that there was maneuvering on
the part OF the ministry OF war during
the Dreyfus trial to conceal important
facts. though assertions to this effect
have been made. 1t is stated that NJ
Gribelin. formerly principal keeper Of
the records OF the headquarters staff,
has made important revelations. The
commission will receive the documents
next Wednesday.
