VARIOUS CABLES.

DISCONTENT IN SOUTH OF FRANCE. Received June 19, 8.33 a.m. PARIS, June 18. Owing to the regiments in four of the disturbed provinces being untrustworthy, the Government is replacing them with better-disciplined troops. Received June 19, 10.40 p.m. PARIS, June 19. In connection with the trouble in the wine districts, and the many attempts to incite people to revolt, and the threat to burn the property of those Mayors failing to resign and such taxpayers as satisfy the taxgatherers' demands, the Chamber of Deputies, recognizing the gravity of the situation, heartily supported M. Clemenceau's declaration that orders had been given for legal action to pursue its course. M. Clemenceau added that the State must be supreme, and the normal regular working of the administrative and judicial machinery be restored. He had put the national force at the disposal of the law. He would avoid bloodshed as far as possible, but when there was insurrection against the law in the departments, when local separatist committees professed to take the Government's place, and a sort of Provincial Government enforced signatures by intimidation, the law must be applied. M. Sarrant remarked that when conciliation failed, M. Clemenceau said that the law must prevail. "As a Frenchman," he said, "I acknowledge he is right; but my resignation will promote pacification. The offenders are old comrades of mine, and brothers-in-arms who I advise to trust the Republic and revert to legal methods." (Cheers).
