Lord Salisbury Announces the De-
cisiOn of the French Cabinet.
London, Nov. 4.-Gen. Kitchener to-day
received the freedom of the city of Lon
don and the sword of honor presented 10
him in recognition of his defeat of the
dervishes at Omdurman. The ceremony
occurred in the Guild Hail. which was
filled with a distinguished gathering. A
banquet was given in Gen. Kitchener's $
honor at the Mansion house tonight. 1t
was a brilliant affair.
The Marquis of Salisbury, in respond
ing to a toast, said in part: 1.-THE sirdar
has recently expressed the hope that the
difficulties arising from the presence of
Maj. Marchand may be within the power
of diplomacy to ADJUST. l am glad to say
that up TO a certain point he has proved
a true prophet.
This afternoon 1 received from the
French ambassador the information that
the French government have come to The
conclusion that the occupation of Fash
oda is of no sort of value (prolonged
laughter and cneers), and they thought
in the circumstances that to persist in
an occupation which would only cost
them money and do harm merely because
some bad advisors thought it might be
disagreeable to an unwelcome neighbor,
would not show the wisdom with which.
as 1 think, the French republic has been
uniformly guided.
"They have done what 1 believe every
government would have done in the same
position-resolved that the occupation
must cease (Cheers.) I must not be un-
derstood as saying that all causes of con-
troversy are removed This is not so.
Doubtless there will be many discussions
between us, but a somewhat acute and
somewhat dangerous cause of differences
has been removed"

ship of the North Atlantic squadron, will

as soon as she is provisioned and sup
piled. At Newport News the vessel will
coal and then lie at anchor in Hampton
Roads awaiting orders.
Commodore Phillips, commanding the
North Atlantic station during Admiral
Simpsons absence, will be aboard the

place. strategically, for the dispatch of a
flying squadron in any direction at short
notice. II is said at the navy department
that this move is also in conformity with

Doesn't AlIay London's Uneasincss.
London, Nov. 5-Despite the jubilation
of the country over the favorable an
nouncement by Lord Salisbury regarding
Fashoda at the Kitchener banquet, there
is serious uneasiness as to the real object
of the continued war preparations, which
can hardly be justified even by Lord Sal
isbury's warning that there are stlll mat
ters in dispute with France.
A dispatch from Hong Kong received
late tonight again remarks upon the Tn
usual naval and military activity there
The dispatch says Gen. Black and his staff
has been inspecting the old frontier of
British Kau-Lung (Kow-Loon) and Sc

works. Field and siege guns are being
mounted and the men of war lying off
Hong Kong are embarling large guam
titles of ammunition. The fleet has been
slgnalled to send no mails by the French
steamer leaving to-day Saturday. This
order is regarded as very significant.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says: at is asserted in we'll in
formed quarters that the British war pre-
parations are connected with the Philip
pine question, in which the United States
government is working IN agreement with
England. The rumors are revived that
the United States intend ceding to Eng

HOPE GIVEN Up.
| Senator WaIthnll Not Expected to
Live Through the Night.

Senator Walthall Not Expected to
Live Through. the Night.
Senator Walthall of Mississippi is i'll at
his apartments at the Cairo. His physician
has given UP hope of his recovery and he
is not expected to live through the night.
He is unconscious and extremely weak.
Senator Waithall has been in poor health
for a number Of years. About five years
ago. when he had attained his sixty-second
year, Senator Waithall was attacked by
the grip. which was the first serious ILL
ness of his life. Thu grip left him in weak
ened condition and he was SO greatly dis
couraged that he determined to resign his
seat in the Senate. In January. 1884 he
placed his resignation In the hands of thu
governor of Mississippi for the balance of
the term, which ended March !, 1885. He
had been elected to another term in the
Senate and wished to resign that Also but
the question was raised that he coull not
resign an office which he had not assumed,
so that he delayed putting in his resigna-
ton for the full term.
The rest he secured while out of the Sem
ate for year and two months resulted in
great improvement to his health, and
when his new term began, In 1895. his
friends persuaded him to enter upon his
duties, which he did. About three months
ago Senator Walthall was stricken with
an attack of bilious fever, which confined
him to his home for about five weeks. He
was left very weak and has been in the
Senate but little since that time On the
18th of this month the Senate devoted an
afternoon to listening to eulogies on the
life Of the late Senator George of Missis-
sippi, and Mr. Walthall, although in a
weak condition, went to the Capitol and
took part in the service, reading a paper
on the life and character of Mr. George.
The day was stormy and he caught heavy
cold. 1t was with great difficulty that he
could speak in the Senate and he was much
exhausted when he sat down after reading
his paper. The result was that he con-
tracted pneumonia. He complained of be-
ing i'll. but did not call in a physician for
week, and when medical aid was finally
summoned Mr.. Walthall was very low. All
hope Of his recovery has been abandoned.

Commissioners Opinion Relative 10
Southern Maryland II. r..
An adverse report was made today by
the District Commissioners on House bill
1856. relative to the Southern Maryland
Railroad Company.
They explain that the company was au-
thorized by the act of June 81 1882. TO
enter the District. That act prescribed
that unless construction Of the road was
commenced within one year and compet-
ed with at least one set Of tracks within
two years all rights and privileges granted
by the act should cease and determine.
These requirements not being fulfilled
the charter expired long ago, and the Com
missioners state they see no good reason
for reviving it. In fact, they say there are
good reasons why 1t should not be revived
The requirements OF the proposed bill are,
they think. inadequate for the public pro-
lection, and do not meet the conditions i'm
posed on such corporations. Then, too
they believe the construction Of the road
over the route named would interfere ma
terially with the proposed new route for
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and would
conflict with the adopted plans for the en-
trance Of that road into the CITY,

KEY WEST. Fla. April ia high naval
official, whose name cannot be mentioned

fight. She must make a show of resistance

suppose she will now be given twenty -four
or focty-eight hours notice to get out

she should get, and that the fleet should be

All the work in progress Is being rushed
to finish; but little or nothing remains
to be done which would delay the fleet for
a moment. Orders forbiddng any one of
the men to go ashore will probably be is

JUN TAIS PLEASED
Cuban Resolution Provides for all
It Had Hoped.
IT'S ARMY WILL COOPERATE
Can Furnish Our Forces Expert
enced Pilots and Guides.
ONLY DESIRE IS PEACE

NEW YORK, April 19.-The following
statement on the congressional Cuban reso-
buttons was given out today at the office
of the Cuban junta:
THE resolutions as they stand are tanta-
mount to the recognition of the Cuban re-
public. The declaration is that the people
of Cuba are free and independent, while
the Cuban people acknowledge allegiance
only to the republic of Cuba, which they
have established and maintained by force
of arms.
THE only object of the insurrection was
the independence of the Cubans. This is
provided for by the resolutions. The Gu
bans asked that before intervention there
be recognition of independence. This is
also provided for by the resolution Their
desire to run their own government free
from coercion is provided for by the fourth
paragraph OF the resolution.
Under these circumstances the demand
made by the United States that Spain at
once evacuate the island, and the threat
that In the event of her refusal the land
and naval forces of the United States will
be used to compel evacuation, certainly
merits the deepest gratitude on the part of
the Cubans.
Should force be necessary on the mart of
the United States, there will be the most
complete cooperation by the Cuban gov
eminent and its army. Coast pilots anil
practiced guides will be placed Immediately
at the service of the United States. and
In every practicable way will the Cubans
aid in expelling the common enemy To
the patriotism of the American people and
the American press the Cubans owe debt
of deepest gratitude. and for the confidence
which the American people have in them
they hope to prove their worthiness
The steadfastness with which they have
pursued their ideal for independence and
the organization which they have shown in
their fight against Spain are sufficient
pl oof that they will be able to maintain
their independence and that peace will be
their only object for the future"
