DREYFUS CASE REVISION
ALL FRANCE AWAITING WITH
GRAvEST INTEREST THE OUTCOME.
Excitement Bids Fair to Be as Great
as When the Former Captain
Was COurt-Martialed.

PARIS, Dec 1-France is looking forward
with the gravest interest to the meeting to-
morrow of the committee which will advise
Minister of Justice Vale on the question
whether he shall or shall not grant Dreyfus
an appeal for the revision of the sentence
of the court-martial at Rennes. Though
revision is foreshadowed by the considera-
tion given to Dreyfus's petition, the reap
pearance of the affair bids fair to arouse
feeling even of the excitement which pre-
vailed while the former captain of artillery
was undergoing trial and while he was i'm
prisoned on DEVILS island.
A semi-minsterial publication gives a
statement showing the reasons which in
duced General Andre to favor a revision
as the result of his Investigation, extending
over five months. during which time
number of persons were examined. 1t was
found that several witnesses testified false
ly before the court which tried Dreyfus.
The statement ends as follows: Finally,
an exceptionally important fact developed.
1t is that there is no real proof, material
or moral, existing against the former cap
against Maj. Esterhazy were found, on the
other hand, to be justified
Dreyfus is not expected to be called be-
fore the commission tomorrow. He has
been living quietly at his home on the
Boulevard Malesherbes, but he consults his
friends and lawyers before taking any
steps. 1t Is said he derives an income from
the sale of his book which has netted him
several thousand francs.

though the features of the examination Of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The plans of the
War Department relative to the Indianap-
oils army post are held in allegiance pend
ing settlement of the complications grow
give the government a deed to his prop
erty. 1t is stated at the department that
Secretary Root will not reconsider his de-
cision to withhold payments to other own
ers, and that, furthermore, the depart
mental estimates for the construction of the
post will not be submitted to Congress un-
less the tangle over the Roberts tract is
unraveled; There is probability that the
construction of the post may be delayed
project may never be carried out as a re-
suit of the present complications.
The inability to secure title to the ceme-
terry tract does not bother the department
The attitude assumed by Roberts is the
real obstacle. Every effort will be made by
Representative Overstreet TO induce the
officials To proceed with their plans and
await the decision of the courts in the con-
demnation proceedings. 1t is pointed out
that it is of the utmost Importance to the
interests of indianapolis that the army post
be established there. The department had
planned t5 station full regiment of 1,5OO
men there, in addition to large force Of
employees This would mean an expenditure
of from 200 to 100000 a year in the city
The Improvement OF the park system of the
city by extension of the boulevard is also
