DR. CORNELIUS HERZ AND THE PANAMA

SCANDALS.

The "Figaro" of the 20th July states that two months ago President Faure received a letter from Dr. Cornelius Herz, in which he demanded an indemnity of 25,000,000fr. on account of the injury which he had suffered by the action of the French Government in bringing him to trial. ln this letter Dr. Herz laid great stress upon his American citizen-ship, and asserted that he expected his claim to be energetically supported by the United States Govern-ment. _
