THE DREYFUS CASE.

United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—-Copyright. PARIS, January 4. The Court of Cassation only interrogates Dreyfus in regard to his alleged confession. January 5. Prince "Victor is threatening a coup. In the course of an interview he said he would never undo Napoleon's concession of the civil rights to the Jews. Patriotism was no excuse for forgery in order to secure the conviction of Dreyfus. The Court of Cassation has summoned Esterhazy. In his examination M. Barthou revealed the existence of a "dossier" relating to Esterhazy and Colonel dv Paty de Clam.

Prince Victor Napoleon is head of the Bonapartisti party in France. He is son of Prince Napoleon, and was born in 1862. During-the .last years' of his father's lifetime he was put forward by ardent followers as head of the "Victoriens," who at one time were fiercely opposed to the "Jeromistes," but Prince Victor is said to have denied that he was in any way opposed to his father's policy. In 1884, however, he put himself at the head of a new Bonapartist faction, and left his father's house. When the expulsion Bill of 1886 became law the Prince and lus father were exiled from France, the former going to Brussels and the latter to Switzerland. Nor did he again see his father till the latter lay dying in Rome, in March, 1891.
