While thte officials believed there was no ,so id foundation for these complaints; a cablegram was sent I to Consul general Lee, directing him ; to investigate Jheir correctness and,; if necessary prevent any delays in the landing and admission of ship ments -of stpres, if it be possible to do so.

Consul General Lee cabled f today from Ha vana to United States Dispatch Agent Roosa, in this city, asking that more relief, supplies forwarded by the Central Cuban j Relief J! Committeee.

There; was great excitement in the chamber of deputies today when M. Cavaignac, republican, demanded a discussion of the note. The premier, M. Meline, in refusing to xiiscuss the matter, 1 declared that if the chamber voted its immediate discussion, the cabinet would resign. I v M. Layertujon, republican,, proposed that the discussion be adjourned for a month.. Amid excitement the mo tion was rejected by 277 to 219 votes. Mr. Duperier de Larsen jnoved that the matter be postponed until today's orders were disposed of. j. This was opposed by Mj Cavaignac who declared the government's attK tUde had created doubts' -in the minds of the people. He reproached the premier for refusing to make a state ment regarding the alleged, confession. M. Meline said the government would accept the motion of M.

At 9 o'clock on the opening pf the meeting, the hall was a seathing sea of: humanity, crowding every part, gesticulating; shouting 'A Bas Zola," "Vive L'Armee," arid "Vive la Revolu tion Sociale." The members of tile. anti-Semite committee displayed ban ners bearing the inscription "death to the Jejts' and other inscriptions.

I Tumults and fights for the banners continued, with shouting, whistling! and singing of the Marseillaise and the carmagnole, while. M. Thiebaud proceeded ' in a violent speech, de claring that the Dreyfus scandal was the commencement of a social' revolu tion by a "band of scoundrels desiring to overthrow everything in order to raise a itraitor." V V. ' The scene now became a saturnalia. The anarchists removed the iron stair case giving access to the tribune, so that the committee Was unable to de sceud. ' Free (fights began around 1 the flags. Finally the students j chased the anarchists Out of the ' hall. The or ganizers of the meeting -then seized the flagsf iecorating the hall and ar ranged aj rendezvous at the military club, crying "Vive L'Armee." The hall was. partially emptied i but spon the anarchists returned and, breaking open the great doors, began further fighting. I It - is alleged thjat several .were' injured,, Finally the students were vanquished and the! anarchists masters of the situation. The meeting broke up- and the" anarchis ts replaced the ladder and invaded the tri bune, led; by , H. Courtois , flourish ing a red flag and all shouting "Spit pon Rochef ort) and "LongUive Zola." The disturbances continued, the an archists declaiming from the tribune against the army and acclaiming Drey fus. Some of the injured people were carried out with their faces, covered with 'blood. The interest was now transferred to the streets where the police had been reinforced, f I ; jBy midnight . those who ! had been arrested were released and ! quiet had been restored to the Place de L'Opera.
