DREYFUS TO BE RETRIED.
New Minister of War and Cabinet Agree to Revision. It is a generally accepted fact in Paris that Captain Alfred Dreyfus will have a new trial. The Matin says that Col. Piequart has signed a demand for the provisional liberation of Dreyfus. Gen. Zulinden, the new minister of war, is in harmony with the remainder of the cabinet and favors revision. The cabinet has discussed the conditions under which the new trial shall take place.
The prisoner will be conveyed to France on an unknown vessel, and shall be disembarked at an unexpected port and taken to Paris with absolute secrecy. Dreyfus will be confined in the military prison of Chercbe Midi, and there he will be retried when nobody suspects his presence. There is a demand for a public trial, but international complications are feared.
COL. HENRY, THE FORGER.
