MAJOR CUIGNKT DIVULGED LET?
TERS DEALING WITH STATE
MATTERS.
(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Tails, May 12.?At a sitting: of the
Cabinet Council in the Palace of the
Klysee to-day the president, M. Lou bet,
on the suggestion of the Minister of
War, M. Camllle Krantz, signed a de?
cree cashiering Major Cuignet on ac?
count of Iiis having divulged to the Pe?
tit Journal the contents of certain let?
ters.
WHAT DELCASSE DID.
Tn the Chamber of Deputies to-day,
M. Rene V'vlanl, Radical Socialist,
Questioned the government regarding
the letters published in the Petit Jour?
nal. In reply the Minister of War, M.
Krantz, said that Major Cuignet came
spontaneously to him and confessed
that he gave the letters to a friend who
had communicated them to the Petit
Journal. M. Delcnsse, Minister of For?
eign Affairs, said that the letters :is
published were garbled and mutilated.
Amid mingled cheers and hisses. M.
Delcassse explained his own position in
the matter and asserted that Major
Cuignet, as a member of the War Of-'
lice, had impugned the good faith of
the Foreign Oillce in certain matters.
He (M. Delcasse) therefore, wrote to
M. dcFreycinet, the then Minister of
War. asking apologies from the War
Ofliee and showing that Major Cuig
net's accusations were unfounded.
DECLINED TO WITHDRAW STATE?
MENT.
In the course of his speech M. Del
casse declared that in reply to his de?
mand for reparation, Major Cuignet
wrote regretting 'he publicity given his
statement, but declining to withdraw it.
M. Delcasse then, he said, demanded
that translations of Hie Panizzardl tele?
grams should he submitted to tin- Court
of Cassation in order that that tribunal
might determine which was, correct. M.
Dek-asse protested against the charge
of having dictated M. Paleologue's evi?
dence, and said that he had only de?
sired that M. Paleologue prove to the
court the good faith of the Foreign
OtHce (sensation).
A GRATUITOUS FALSEHOOD.
The translation made for the Foreign
OlUcft was countersigned by Major
( niu?itti M. Falcolnguc find M.-Chanion.
(Cheers and prolonged uproar.) It was
this statement, AI. Iieleas.se continued,
which the Foreign Office sent to the
Ministry of War, ami, therefore, Major
Culgnct'a charges was a gratuitous
fals< hood, a:; he hail himself admitted
the correctness of the Foreign Office's
translation by countersigning It.
The impression gained from M. Del
cassc's speech was that M. de Frev
Clnet resigned the war portfolio instead
of making reparation.
VOTE <>F CONFIDENCE.
The discussion in the Chamber of
Deputies ended with a vote of confi?
dence in the Government or s*i to C4.
The Nationalist deputy I/.-ies has
sent seconds to M. Delcasse to d( mand
explanations of the latter's statement in
the Chamber of Deputies on yesterday
with reference to M. I.asies' attacks, to
the effect I hat he spurned ;h"!0 with
his toes, although that was more than
they deserved.
M. Delcasse Informed M. Loslca* sec?
onds that he had nothing to add to his
previous remarks, and that he declined
to appoint seconds.
A JI'DGF M I.'PT FX PDA IN.

Court, and an intimate friend of Major
Cuignet. has been cited to appear be?
