Under 'theipecuMar .pirctrmstances ex

tended1 with much doubt. It is usual
whtri-a iforeign irepreseniaiive' leaves the
coubtry for him to be received in fcr

where (an exchahgeof well-wishes takes
place 'between himi and (the president.
It is hardily: expected) that thlisj formal
ity wili he cibserved;iri th present case,
owing to the personal aspects of the
incident. In cases that approach this
in most' respects the mini'siter has -ua-uallyi
all'oiwed his letters pf recall to toe

recalled that Senor Muragua Who was

said r "It is inconceivable that any one

here expressed indignation! at the "in
excusable action of Colonel Picquart in
having Major Esterhazey's rooms

and when the court-martial; acquitted
'Major Esterhazey I was not! astonish-

M. .Thevenet expressed satisfaction at

"boldly insisted" that complete light
