Paris, Oct. 25.‘-’—The municipality of
Toulon has been notified that the place
will be the center of important mill,-
tary and naval preparations, and to ar-
range for the immediate reception of
four battalions of infantry, 1,500 ma-
rines and 600 artillerymen.
1"’f65h'sbq'u€fltly, the municipality has
decided to close the schools, which will
be used to lodge the troops.
The naval authorities of Toulon have
been ordered to expedite preparations
for fitting out a. new squadron of war~
ships. ‘
The newspapers here warmly praise
the exposition of the French side of
the Fashoda question presented by the
minister of foreign afiairs, M. Demos--
'10. in the Yellow Book on the subject,
lulled Sunday. ’
1I‘he ‘ lgaro says: “If the British
government rejects France’s. moderate
and just proposals-it can only be be-
cause the government of Great Britain
desires, before everything else,
humiliation of France.”
The general tone of the press com-
‘ment is reflected by the Eclair, which.
remarks: . ~
3“An agreement regarding Fashoda
can be arrived at provided Great Bri-
tain does not persist in asking for the
, immediate recall of Major Marchand.
i But, as to an outlet on the Nile, We
have an absolute right thereto and will
brook no refusal." '
The Autorite declares that France
ought never to have gone to Fashoda,
adding:
“It was a stupid mistake, "and new
England calls on” us to get out. Well,
it is no use talking, we shall have to
get out, otherwise'there will be war:
which would be madness.”

liLlEUTENANT HOBSON’S shorts,
Naval Constructor -Wants $31,000,000 to
, ,..«..L.-»-->-"'”' Raise the Yi‘zcaya. ,
Boston, ‘ Oct. 25._—The "Boston Fruit
‘Company’s steamer Beverly arrived
here at 7 o’clock yesterday morning,
having on board Naval Constructor
Richmond 1’. Hobson.
The Beverly was twenty-four hours
late, owing to a heavy storm. ,She left»
Port Antonio, Jamaica, on- Tuesday
last. .
Lieutenant Hobson left the city on
the ten o’clock train for _Washington.
When he started from the steamer'to
go' to a carriage at the head of the
wharf, a large crowd impeded his pro-
gress and enthusiastically cheered
him. .
Hundreds wanted to shake hands
with the hero. of the Merrimac and it}
was with difficulty that he was able
to leave the wharf. .
The naval constructor, before he 1eft,~
said that he was not; aware that he
would attend the peace jubilee at Phil.
edelphia, as stated.
Speaking of his work in raising the
sunken Spanish war vessels off San.
tiago he said he was engaged in the,
preliminary work which is. necessary
before an attempt is made to raise the
Cristobal Colon, and that it would'take
at least three weeks more before any-
thing would be ready.
The government had appropriated
$500,000 for the raising of the vessel,
but it will be money well spent, he
said, if the venture proves a success,
as the ship is worth $4,000,000.
The purpose of his visit to this.
country. he said, was to see the score.
work on the warships. He thought that
if the Viscaya can be saved it, would be
a paying venture, .as she is estimated
to be worth $3,000,000.
The Vizcaya had settled in the sand,
which had formed a thick bed around
her, so that the vessel was-resting in
£58533; 13355333, ‘3'.“ a dry dock would
have to be built afound her before she
could be raised. ..
cover the work of raising the Vizcaya,
and would enable the government to
bring her north and put her in good
condition. There was some doubt, how-
ever, of saving her.
The Almirante Oquendo, Hobson
says, is a. hopeless wreck. The Reina
Mercedes, which was sunk in Santiago
harbor, is a good vessel, and can be
raised with little cost. ,
”When the work on the Infants. Ma-
ria Teresa commenced,” continued
Lieutenant Robson, “I had fifty Amer-
ican laborers employed, but owing to
the foul atmosphere, foul gases and
foul water very few escaped sickness,
and I was obliged to fall back on Cu-
ban laborers. These men ‘seem to
stand the work very well, and under
proper sdpervisibn can accomplish good
results.
“There is a. growing sentiment, I
find, among naval officers that every
one of the sunken Spanish ships should
be raised, and, if found to be 11118834
worthy, to be kept as relics._ The
Spanish vessels which have been, and
those that no doubt will be saved and
put in commission snouid retain their
names as a memento of the prowess?
of America.” ~-’ ’
