GLORIOUS TRAFALGAR.
It's Anniversary Comes Right in the
Midst of War Rumors.

Try Gable to The Associated Press
LONDON, Oct. .21, 1885 Exceptional sin-
terest was taken today in the eelebra-
ton of the anniversity of the Battle of
Trafalgar, fought October a. 1905, when
the British fleets under Admiral Nelson,
gained a brilliant victory over the fleets
Of France and Spain, commanded by Adj
miral yiIleneuye.
The cause of this increased outburst Of
patriotism nero is the dispute with France
over the Fashoda question, which in some
quarters is looked upon as matter
which may possibly bring about war be-
tween these two countries. The Nelson
column on Trafalgar Square was profuse-
IL decorated and enJwined with a spiral

elaborately embellshed with anchors,
wreaths. fags and evergFeens. with
background of crimson cloth. with floral
shields in each corner, Inscribed with
Nelson's great victories, namely, st

EVACUATION WILL BE DELAYED.
Transport of spaniards Difficult and
Other Causes for the Change.

WASHINGTON, Oct. u. lS9S.--It is now
certain that the complete evacuation Of
Cuba will be delaped beyond the period
originally fixed by the Administration
This viii follow entirely without reference
to anything that has occurred in Paris
before the Peace Commission
The War Department has about satis-
fed itself that the task imposed upon
the Spanish authorities, namely. the re-
tarce by sea of about 200 soldiers, sick
and we'll, with their acc9utremens was
beyond the ability OF the Spanlartls-
The magnitude of the task is shown by
the fact that the great trans Atlantic
steam lines, crossing the Atlantic from
New York all combined, in prosperous
seasons would transport only about $4,000
persons in one year-less than half the
number thai the spanish officiais. with
their poor facilities, We're expected TO
transport in about ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba Will
cause q delay in the REIMBURSEMENT Of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the en-
tire island which was set for December l.
1t is hardly deemed prudent to undertake
TO assume charge of the municipal affairs
OF Havana so long as the city contains
a strong garrison of Spanish troops, and il
is felt that law and order could be better
maintained in such centres by allowing
them to remain under Spanish jurisdiction
until they are evacuated by the Troops
ard reoccupfed by United States troops.
1t is not to be understood from this that
the American military commission is in
any sense abating the pressure it has
brought to bear upon the Spanish milf
tary commissioners to secure the eyacua-
tion of the island and the relin-
quinishment of Spanish sovereignty.
On the contrary, they have redou-
bled their efforts to secure these
objects but are not disposed to insist
upon the performance of Impossible tasks.
and their demands will be largely shaped

are acting perfectly in good faith in their
efforts to carry out the terms of the pro-

they elected him chairman at the caucus,

PARIS. Oct. q. 1888. Captain Baratier.
Of Major Marehand's expedition. on his
arrival at Cairo with the report for the
French Government, said the mission had
not lost an officer or a soldier He added
that the health of all the members Of
the party was very good and that re-
vjctualling on the march was easy
Major Marchands report telegraphed
from Cairo, was received in the course
Of the night. It does not mention the
arrival at Fashoda Of General Kitchener,
and only gives an account Of the Incl
dents of the expedition, with an elaborate
description Of the route followed, the
points occupied, the manner of occupa-
ton, the raising of the flag. the force left
at each point, and the treaties Of sub
mission concluded with the tribes. in ad-
dition to referring to an encounter with
the Dervishes. The report only goes as
far as the beginning of September and
says that on August 20 the supplies Of
the party were abundant
The reason for the omission of any mem
tion of the arrival of General Kitchener
at Fashoda. is said to be the fact that
the report of Major AIarchand was not
ready when Captain Baratier left
Fashoda. When the Captain started from
thai place he did not think he would be
beyond khartoum. Major Machand, how
ever. deemed it advisable to send the
finished portion of the report. intending
TO despatch the remainder 50 soon as
Captain Baratier returned. But the cap
tain, on arriving at Gradurman found
there instructions telling MIN to go on
to Cairo, from which place he will pro-
ceed to France.
It is believed in certain quarters that
Captain Baratier is the bearer of a verbal
report which the French authorities were
not willing to trust upon the British tese-
eranh lines
