A Yellow Buok Published Giving
‘ Information.
ENGLAND BLAMES FRANCE
Demand for the Evacuation of the Dia-
puted Point Regarded as Equival n
. to an Ultimatum, Which France Must
Resist.
Paris, Oct 24. ——A semi- ofiicial note
issued last evening, says:
“There is no foundation for the alar-
mist rumors regarding the relations be-
tWeen France and Great Britain. It is
equally incorrEct to say that extraordi-
nary measures have been taken at any
of our naval ports.’
The Fashoda Yellow Book is volum-
inous. but it does not include Major
Marchand's report, which will be pub-
lished later. The dispatches were large-
ly anticipated by the English Fashoda
Blue Book. _
The diplomatic conversations record-
ed show avcirious endeavor on the
French sidb to represent that March—
and’s mission was quite as important
as General Kitchener’s, on the ground
that the struggle was against the Kha-
lifa. and barbarism.
On September 18 M. Delcasse, the
ambassador to France, Sir Edmund
Manson,“ in explicit language that
France did not regard Lord Salisbury’s
claim to the Soudan by virtue of con-
quest as applying to Fashoda, on the
ground that the Marchand expedition
went to the relief of the French expe—
dition under Captain Lieotard, which
dated from a. period long before the
declaration in the House of Commons
by Sir Edward Grey, under secretary
of state for foreign affairs under Lord
’Rosebery’s cabinet, as to the policy of
the British government toward the
Soudan, and at a time when the equa-
torial provinces were lost to civiliza—
tion. In fact, M. .Delcasse argued, un-
less Great Britain possessed the sult—
an’s mandate as well as the Khedive’s
to acquire all former Egyptian prov-
inces, France considered herself equal-
ly entitled with England to possession
of any point occupied gy French offi-
cers.
Judging from the Yellow Book dis—
patches the foregoing represents the
French standpoint, and M. Delcasse
contends that as Marchand reached
Fashoda first, England has no right to
demand an evacuation of Fashoda prior
to negotiations. '
On. September 0 M. Delcasse declared
to Sir Edmund Monson that such a. de-
mand would be equivalent to an ulti-
matum, and while he could afford to
sacrifice France’s material interests so
long as her honor was intact, for the
sake of the Anglo-French ententc,, no
one could doubt what would be the re-
ply of France to such a demand.
The subsequent dispatches appearing
in the yellow book relate to the con-
versations between Bar on de Courcel,
French ambassador in London, and
Lord Salisbury, the latter contending
that the capture or Khartoum entitled
Egypt to possession of all the Mahdi’s
dominions, and the French ambassa-
dor arguing that Major Marchand had
captured Fashbda. before Gen. Kitch-
ener took Khartoum, and that France
had for a long time held several posts
in the Bahr- e1- Gazal. Lord Salisbury
retorted that the French forces in the
regions referred to were too weak to
constitute effective occupation.
London, Oct. 24.—The British cabinet
has been summoned to meet early this
week for the purpose of, discussing the
Fashoda question, and it is understood
that the government proposes to take
the steps necessary to insist upon an
early and definite statement on the
subject from France. '
The British admixalty has ordered
every sea going warship to have its
crew made up to the full complement,
as Oldered in case of mobilization.
This order of the British admiralty
practically means the complete telling
off prospectively of every ship’s com~
pany in detail. '
Four torpedo boat destroyers, which
were about to be fitted with new water
tube boilers, have had their orders
countermanded, and have been instruc-
ted to withdraw their stores.
Officers on leave of absence or un—
employed have been notified to hold
inc reserved ships, if required.
The Times. referring to the Fashoda
question, says:
“It is not we u ho are trying to
mlliate France, but it is France that
seeks to put a great humiliation upon
us. We have beaten the Khalifa and
have effectively occupied the provinces
he usurped. We are now asked 'to
clear out at the orders of an exploring
party of nine Frenchmen. who owe
their escape from destruction to our
military success; or, if we- are kindly
permitted not to clear out, we are to
rangements, but they are now admit»
tedly directed against Great Britain.

Havana, Oct. 24.—-The American
evacuation commission has been in:
formed that J. B. Hamel was moving ’
the old guns, bought from the Spanish
government at a sale held by the au-
thorities, despite the commission’s pro-
test.
Captain Brooks was at once detailed
to go to the artillery‘depot and make
an investigation. When he arrived
there the commandant of the depot/at-
tempted to prevent Captain Brooks en-
tering, asserting that it was against
his orders, but the American insisted
and finally got in.
Captain Brooks reported that the en-
tire purchase had been removed, with
the wagons and carriages. Each arti-
cle was checked as it went out.
The commission addressed a note to
Mr. Hamel, warning him that the Am—
erican government would claim full
right in the prOperty and would hold
him responsible 531‘ every piece remov-

Washington,D
lieved at the war department that it
may yet be possible for our troops to
take possession of Havana‘on Decem-
ber 1, the date originally set for the
occupation of Cuba.
A dispatch was received by Secretary
Alger yesterday from General Wade
stating that Governor General Blanco ;
had issued a. decree offering to dis-
charge from the Spanish army all sol-
diers who wished to remain in Cuba.
The Spanish commissioners estimate
that at least fifteen thousand men will
take advantage of this opportunity to
stay in Cuba.
The American commissioners think
that the number who will act . on
Blanco's decree will be considerably
larger than this.
The, evacuation of Havana will in all
probability be hastened somewhat by
the operation of this decree.
One of the main reasons why it has
been thought doubtful whether or not
the United States could ake posses-
sion of Havana on December 1 was the
long time that would be required in

New Orleans, Oct. 24,—The Louisiana
board of health has issued the follow-1
ing proclamation:
Whereas the weather bureau reports
frosts occurring all over the state, and
whereas it is a fact accepted by epi—

Bianca's Offer to Spanish Soldiers
Washington, Oct. 24.-——Genera1 Wade,

commission in Havana, has informed
the war department that Capt. General
Blanco has offered the spanish soldiers

The Spanish evacuation commissio-

It was at Fort Sherman that ex-Sec-
barrel Incident which he told of in his
. report at the time. On his inspection
tour he reached Fort Sherman on the
Fourth of July. In telling the story
he says: “Americans are nothing if
not patriotic, and so it is with the
l townspeople near Fort Sherman. They
! had their usual fireworks on the glo-
3 rious Fourth, and in addition had got-
ten up a unique feature, which, how-
ever. resulted disastrously. It is doubt-
less true that the townspeople were
; influenced in their desire to impartnov-
city to their programme by the pres-
lence of the secretary of war, whom
I

they desired to interest. The feature
consisted in the descent of a moun-I
tain, over the timber slide, into the
lake, by a man inside of a barrel. All
the prepalations were made. and the
3"baIIel with its human freight was let
go. It rushed down the slide with
dizzy velocity, but before it reached
the bottom, to the horror of the spec-
tators, it struck an obstruction, and
dashed over a precipice for several
thousand feet. The man was dead
when picked up and the barrel was
broken into pieces.”
Fort Smelling is again filled with its
quota of troops. It stands on a huge
limestone bluff, over a hundred feet
above the rivers. commanding a wide
sweep of country. It was a formida-
ble fortress in the earlier days of the
century, and it would even now, did
danger threaten. be a strong point of
vantage. "For over three—quarters of
a century the grim old buildings. low

years have passed. new and more mod--

ands of men were housed in the days
when the fort was one (f the outposts

sentiment of the soldier that these
picturesque old buildings have been
allowed to stand.
In September, 1820, the fort was
begun, and finished two years later.
lIt was strongly built of stone, and
was intended primarily as a defence
from Indian attacks, a. refuge for set-
