Disgrace Eiot, Assassination and Revolution. A General Cataclysm in Prospect Ac cording to the Latest Astound ing Narrative London, Nov. 7. The Chronicle makes prominent an astounding nar rative from Paris, which says that the decision for the revision ct the Dreyfus trial will entail the disgrace of one general, perhaps two, and the cashier ing of other exalted officers. If the court of cassation simply quashes the first trial immediate prosecution of cer tain individuals will follow, involving grave charges. Therefore, organized efforts are being made to bring about a riotous outburst' in Paris, prelimi nary to an attempt to overthrow the civil power. The assassination of sev- eral prominent men is included in the plan, - and some of the marked ones have been warned to protect them- selves.
