BRITAIN WARNED BY FRANCE
Soudan Campaign Viewed With Sus'
picion by the French.

The French Government up to TINS ufhe
has not defined its position toward the
proposal to dispatch the Egyptian expe-
dition up the Nile. Next to the sover-
eighty Of Germany over AIsace- Lorraine,
probably the greatest source of irritation
known to French diplomacy is the BRITISH
occupation of Egypt.
The first intimatIons came on Tuesday
of the probable course which France VIII
take in view of the new condition III
Egypt. A sensation has been caused by
the announcement made by NJ. Berthclot,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the cabinet
meeting that he had asked the British am
bassador, the Marquis of Dufferin, for in
formation regarding the proposed advance
of British Egyptian troops up the Me
and had pointed out to him the serious
consequences of such a move This warn
ing note may be the preliminary TO more
decided steps.
The foreign minister's announcement
was eagerly taken up in the lobbies in the
Chamber of Deputies. The prevailing
sentiment expressed was one of indi@n&-
ton at the course adopted by Great Brit
ain and the general feeling is that France
must adopt a decisive tone in dealing
with the matter. \ Semi-oilicial state
ment was given out rejecting the opinion
of the Government On the subject. The
proposed advance up the Nile,' says this
inspired utterance, sis a great surprise to
the Government and will serve to cmDittcl
the anti English feeling in France at a
time when a better entente was promised"

Canadian Independence.

Unsigned circulars are being distribu-
ted through the mails in Canada by the
so called canadian independence party"
declaring in effect that Great Britain is
robbing the dominion through the medium.
of the Canadian Government. The reason
assigned for the flooding of Canada with
such literature is the belief that which,
ever party is defeated at the next election
is certain to declare itself for Canadian
independence and make that the issue of
the next battle at the polls.

WEYLfR MAY RESIGN.
Difficulties Over the Question of Bel
ligerency May BE the Cause.

liGerency May BE the Cause.
In an interview with Gen. Weyler, pub
lished at Madrid, the captain general is
quoted as expressing great surprise at the
charges made against him in the United
States Sin view of his great prudence
pending the settlement of the question Of
belligerency."
Gen. Weyler is also credited with hav-
ing said that the attitude of Congress
stops the normal Development of the war.
Continuing, the interview places Gen.
Weyler OH record as saying that num-
bers of persons are joining the insur-
gents from all parts of Cuba, and even
from the capital, Havana, because they
hope to be recognized as belligerents.
In conclusion, Gen. Weyler is said to
have related that he is confident of the
eventual success of the Spanish cause;
but the contradictory demands of pru-
dence and extreme measures, combined
with the difficulties arising from the qucS-
ton of ~belligorency and the election"
NAV compel him to resign.
