Probable Decision of Court of Cassa- tion in Dreyfus Case. His Sentence to Be Quashed and a Fresh Courtmartial to Be Ordered. Paris, Jan, 14.—The Matin and the Gaulois, this morning, say they under stand that the injury of the court of cassation into the Dreyfus case is on the point of terminating and that the court will probably report that acts of treason actually occurred, but that sufficient proof of the guilt of Dreyfus does not exist and that his sentence therefore is quashed, The papers add thalt there will be a fresh court mar tial.

Wood, treasurer of the United States Express Company and Edward T. Kelly, an agent of the company, at the Morrig and Essex Rallroad station in Newark, The suit grew out of a dispute be tween Hollister and Kelly over the payment of one cent war revenue. While on his way from Bernardsville to Roselle on July 16 last Hollister got off at the Morris and Essgex station at Newark., He had with him a chest of instruments, and wanted it checked to Roselle, Kelly told him the cost would be forty cents, aolligter gave him a half dollar and received nine cents change. He inquired why he did not gel ten cents in change, and wag in formed that he would have to pay a cent for the receipt. Hollister refused to pay the tax, it is asserted, and demanded the return of the chest and the forty-one cents, He alleged that Kelly refused to return the tools and money and that when he protested the agent assaulted him. Kelly, who was defended by George M. Titus, declared that Hollister was under the influence of liguor at the time of the trouble and that the plain tiff refused to return the receipt in or der to get the box of tools. Kelly also claimed that the plaintiff assaulted him with a carpenter’'s steel square. In order to defend himself, he said, he seized the square and both men wres tled about the express office, In the scuffie they fell over some milk cans and Hollister was slightly bruised in that way.

The place was ransacked, The native authorities are investigating the affair, but the Filipi nos disclaim any knowledge of the outrage. Washington, Jan. 14—The war de partment officialg were very much en couraged today upon the receipt of pews from Gen, Gtis at Manila that in dicated improvement in the situation there, The general's dispatch com pletely negatives the absurd story from Madrid that the American troops at Manila have mutinied and refuscd to proceed to Tloilo, necessitating the withdrawal of Gen. Miller's expedition against that port. Although the state ment has been made before, it is just as well to repeat the fact that Gen, Otis is absolute master of the situation wherever he has planted his foot and undoubtedly is able to carry out any policy within reason as to ths treat ment of the natives that the admins trotion shall dictate. He has not by any means abandoned the concillatory attitude he adopted towards the Filipi nog gome time ago. There are indica tions that encourage the officials here to believe that the policy will succeed. STEAMERS FOG BOUND. Not an Arrival at New York Quarantine Since Sun- set Last Evening.
