THE BRITISH CABINET
LAYS DOWN LAW CONCERNING
FAsHoDA
MARCHAND MUST MOVE on
If He's Too Weak Too Walk Great
Britain Will Lend All Assist
ance Necessary
Associated Press Special Wire.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Pail Mall Ca
zette this afternoon summarizes the result
of the British Cabinet meeting yesterday
as follows: >.
"Marchand must be withdrawn uncondi-
tionaly, and 10 undertaking or promise
can be given to discuss the questions raised
by France in regard to access to the Nile
and such like.
"Two-When Marchand is withdrawn, it
will be determined whether the question
raised-admits of discussion, and under what
conditions discussion can be proceeded with.
"Three-Every possible facility will be
afforded to assist in Marchand's withdrawal
by which ever route selected.
"Four--If Marchand is withdrawn there
will be no interference with his remaining at
Fashoda until the date fixed for his with
drawa Necessarily reinforcements will not
be permitted to reach him. He will be
treated courteously, as foreign visitor and
will be regarded in no other light.
"Five-Therefore it is left to France to
adopt any active measures to precipitate
conflict .
The Pail Mall Gazette. adds that 1t has
good reason to believe that while Russia
has counselled France to tide over the diff
culty and avoid war she had promised to
throw weight in the scale at no distant date
for the purpose of bringing the whole Egypt,
ian question and the British occupation OF
Egypt to the front for settlement.

The comrpny has experience n raising ves-
sells on the Pacific Coast and representation
have been made to the department . to its
ability to accomplish the task in Havana
harbor.
1t proposes to blow the mud from under
the wreck by means of streams of water, and
then to pass under the hull chains attached
to a framework connected with system of
steel barrels. These barrels will also be
placed in the wreck and utilized wherever
they can be made available. The company
simply asks authority to raise the Maine and
bring her to the United States. Ii the gov
ernment wants the ship after she reaches the
United States, the company will want to be
paid salvage money through condemnation
proceedings. 1t is probable, in case the gov
eminent does not want the ship, the company
would exhibit her in different large seacoast
cities of the United States. No money is
demanded from the government by the COM
pany.
1t is stated at the department unoffcially
that, in case the company is found to be re-
liable, the authority will no doubt be given.

Thirty Years Changed the Looks of

CHICK AMAUGA PARK, Ga, Oct. 2S.-
The War Commission special train ran down
here today and the commission Immediately
began the inspection of the site at Camp
Thomas, which is now practically aband-
oned as military camp.
Before the commission left Huntsville
last night, General Dodge sent the follow
ing telegram to the Secretary of the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee at Toledo, o.:
1--WE are here with the Fourth Corps of
the Cuban army, with troops camped all
around this city and it takes me back to the
winter Of 1868 and 1864. when the Army of
the Tennessee occupied this ground, and
reminds me that my army is enjoying its
thrtieth reunion 1t is hardly possible to
realize the changes that thirty years have
brought us, especially when YOU consider
that this corps is commanded by General
Jos. Wheeler, Confederate General, who
occupied the country south of the Tennes-
see while we were holding it north Of the

fatally stabbed. Bishop died instantly.
Shockley called at the Police Station dur

as he was going insane. but he was thrown
out of the station. He then called on
Governor Atkinson and asked for protection
and while the Governor was telephoning the

Looks Like Yielding

LONDON. Oct. 29.-The morning news
paper editorials regard Major Marchand
movements from Fashoda to khartoum us
indicative of a yielding on the speclnc ques-
ton i'll controversy, althougn tne posl'ion 10
officially unaltered.
1t is assumed that he will push on to Cairo
in order to be in direct communication with
the French government and that on reach
ing there he will represent to Paris the I'M
possibility Of remaining in Fashoda under
existing conditions, and will ask authorty
to withdraw his entire torce.
The Times says:
The desire ascribed to France to raise a
general discussion ought to be in itself sui
ficient answer to the ridiculous rumor cir
culated in ill-informed quarters yesterday
friday that we intended to play INTO her
hands by declaring a protectorate over
Egypt. Nothing could be more unlikely at
the present moment.
The Daily News takes it for granted that
Major Marchand will come to Paris.
The first cabinet minister to speak pub
licly since the cabinet council on Thursday
is Lord Balfour of Burleigh,. secretary for
Scotland, who, when addressing meeting
last evening at Calashiels, Scotland, declared
that it was the settled policy of the govern
ment that the valley of he Nile must be
Egyptian territory.
Earl Spencer first lord of the admiralty,
in Rosebery's government, in strong speech
last night at Greenock lndorsed LORD Salls-
bury's attitude toward the Egyptian ques-
ton and referred with the greatest satisfac-
ton to prospect of an Anglo-Saxon en-
tente."
Baron de Courcel, French ambassador,
had another long interview at the foreign
office yesterday afternoon with Sir Thomas
Sanderson, permanent under secretary of
state for foreign affairs, and there is no
doubt that important matters were under
discussion.
The rumor was circulated on the Paris
boulevards yesterday that Major. Marchand
would be recalled from Fashoda, but on
neither side of the channel-certainly not on
this side-is any serious attention paid to
the rumor that England will declare pro-
tectorate over Egypt.
The Paris correspondent Of the Standard
says:
/ have excellent authority for the asser-
ton that Major Marchand left Fashoda on
his own initiative, but that he will demand
permission to withdraw his mission, since
his men are dying of hunger and disease.
The special correspondent of the Daily
News at Omdurman telegraphs:
| have reason to believe that Major Mar
chand is waiting for instructions to with
draw the French mission from Fashoda.

At Manxanillo

MANZANILLO, Oct. 28.-The United
States gunboat Hist arrived here tonight
with Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the
military department Of Santiago, accom-
panied by Lieut.. Matthew Hahn; On land
ing Gen. Wood was closeted with Col. Pet
tit and his adujtant, and he was subsequent
ly received by Col. Pettit's entire regiment.
Gen. Wood then visited the barracks, hos
pitals, palace, custom house and postoffice.
Col. Petit reports that the Cuban gen.
eral, Rios, is apparently making every ef-
fort to prevent the disbanding of his troops.
The Cuban commander wishes all the sugar
estates in the neighborhood to tell him how
many men they can employ, and he will
guarantee to supply all required. The
pls snters unanimously refuse to fall in with
such an agreement, considering that it
would be trades union of the worst possible
kind, and would also tend to keep up the
Cuban military organization, which, in the
interest of the island, the planters are very
anxious to break up. In their opinion, it
to attempt it on such conditions.
There is no sickness in Col. Pettt's regi-
ment, and yellow fever has been unknown
here for several years.
Lieut.. Lucien Young, the commander OF
the Hist created more excitement on land
ing than even Gen. Wood himself Crowds
gathered at the wharf to see the young
Jungen of the Hornet and Mampatuck, de-
feated whole fiotila of Spanish gunboats
at Manzanillo on July lst last. The people
of Manzanillo considered Lieut.. Young a
hero and terror, and think he ought to be
an admiral. Although the Spanish battery
in that memorable engagement continued
to lombard the American gunboats, it is
generally admitted here that it was the
shooting OF the Hist that caused the people
IN flee tn the maintains
Lieut.. Victor Blue, who has been inspect
ing the wrecks OF the Spanish gunboats
considers it quite impracticable to raise
them, but he believes that the Spanish
steamer Purissima Conception, which the
Spaniards ran ashore in the hope of saving
her cargo when pursued by an American
warship, can be raised, as she appears to be
in good condition. A local merchant, how.
ever, claims to have purchased the hull and
it's contents from the Spanish authorities.
The Cuban general, Jesus Rabi, paid a
visit to Manzanillo yesterday and was en-
Enthusiastically received by the Cuban ele
ment.
According to the reports at the Cuban as
sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, Gen. Garcia
has been chosen permanent chairman of tho
organization. Gen. Gomez is expected there
that the Cespedes faction believes it can
count upon the help of Gen. Gomez to break
the authority of Garcia. The Cespedes fac
tion expects Gen. Gomez to appoint a
court-martial to try Gen. Garcia for offenses
covering practically everything from mur
der to petty larceny. The probability is that
Gen. Gomez, recognizing Gen. Garcia's as
cendancy in the assembly, will not force the

Stealing Stopped

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Information
has been received by the government that
the Spanish officers have ceased to break
up and carry away things that are regarded
as immovable property. Such things as are
now being taken are giving no concern to
the American authorities. An effort has
been made to create some interest in sup
posed refusal of the American government
to send war ships to Havana as asked for
by the commission. The facts are that some
suggested that it might be well to have one
or more ships in Havana and that a light
cruiser might be needed to proceed from
Havana to other places where it might be
necessary to send officers of the commission.
The government did not comply with the
suggestion and since then nothing has been
done about it, and no further request has
been made for ships.

the Cuban Assembly was called together

corps of the Cuban army.

brigandage. Food and water are scarce in
Santa Cruz, and the assembly will probably
adjourn in about week to meet in Mariana,
a suburb of Havana, where provisions and
water are more plentiful.
The assembly will remain in session at
one place or another until new government
is formed by general election.
