NEW YORK, July 15.—A Sun cable from | Paris says: Yesterday's uneventful cele- bration of the national holiday seems to mark the disappearance of danger to tne republic in connection with the Dreyfus affair. All those connected with the con- spiracy have completely lost courage, and now there is small reason to fear Oppo- jon to the re-establishment of justice | in_France. | "Public opinion has been sufficiently en- | lightened so that it is no longer possible for the Merciers, Bofsdeffres or Zurlindens to appeal successfully to the popular pas- sions. They are now chiefly engaged in attempts to save what they can of their ruined reputations. The result of the trial is universally re- | garded as a foregone conclusion, and the dragnet inquiry which the Government has apparently decided to make in order to once more silence such malicious fools | as M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire seems al- most unnecessary. It is both hopeless and absurd to im- | agine that any genuine fresh evidgnce of | guilt will be forthcoming after Wie vin- dictive conspirators have sought in vain | for five years. It seems inevitable, however, that the | process of vindication will be drawn out through three long weeks Before Dreyfus is legally proclaimed an innocent victim of the biackest conspiracy of the age.

The dead man is supposed to have been her husband, W. H.
