On tho Part OF Persons In the Classified
Service, VIII Not he Tolerated.
Washington. October 2l.-The civil
service commission has issued circu-
lar which is being sent to the members
of the seven hundred boards Of exam
liners throughout the country on 1.-The
political activity of federal officers and
employees" 1t calls attention to ex-
tracts from the executive instructions
of July 4, 1886. which the circular says
are still in force, and which are re-
published for the information and guild
ance Of all officers and employees in the
executive civil service. The circular
then says:
"The Postmaster-G General, in letter
dated August s. 1898, stated that the
order Of the President, above quoted
had been neither revoked or modified
'"Those who enter the classified civil
service upon the ground of ascertained
merit, as established by the civil SER
vice rules, and are protected therein,
should be quick to recognize the recip-
rocal obligations thereby imposed and
avoid any action which now, or at any
future time, could reasonably be sub
ject to adverse political criticism.
1.-THE commission believes that the
best interests of the service will be pro-
noted by the non-participation of all
members of its, boards of examiners in
political conventions or in the work
of political committees.
while attendance at political con-
vention as a delegate, or membership
upon a political committee, is not in it.
self a violation Of the civil service rules,
the commission holds that all partisan
activity, if sufficient to impair useful
ness as a representative of the civil
service commission, is sufficient cause
for the removal from membership on
any of it's board of examiners.
Section of the civil service act Of
January 16, 1888, provides that no per-
son in the public service has any right
to use his official authority or influence
to coerce the political action of any per-
son or body"

Have Been Asked Of the. Spaniards
and They Win Not Be Insisted
Upon.

WASHINGTON, October 21.-It is now
certain that the complete evacuation Of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the period
originally fixed by the administration.
This will follow entirely without refer
ence to anything that has occurred in
Paris before the peace commission. The
War Department has about satisfied it
self that the task imposed upon the
Spanish authorities, namely, the removal
and transportation to a great distance by
sea of about 10000 soldiers, sick and well,
with their requirements, was beyond the
ability Of the Spaniards. The magnitude
of the task is shown by the fact that the
great transatlantic steamship lines,
crossing the Atlantic from New York, all
combined. In prosperous seasons, trans
port only about $1,000 persons in one year
less than half the number that the Span
tsh officials. with their poor facilities,
were expected to transport in about ten
weeks. Delay in the evacuation of Cuba
will cause delay in the REIMBURSEMENT
of sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for Decem-
Der I. 1t is hardly deemed prudent ~ I'M
dertake to assume charge of the munic-
tpal affairs of Havana so long as the city
contains a strong garrison of Spanish
troops, and it is felt that law and order
could be better maintained in such CEN
tiers by allowing them to remain under
Spanish jurisdiction until they are evacu-
ated by the troops and re-occupied by
United States troops. 1t is not to be I'M
derstood from this that the American mil
dtary commission is in any sense abating
= y, & I,o
the Spanish military commissioners to
secure the evacuation of the island and
the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereign
ty. On the contrary they have redoubted
their efforts to secure these objects, but
are not disposed to insist upon the per-
formance of impossible tasks, and their
demands will be largely shaped by their
knowledge that the Spaniards are acting
In perfectly good faith in their efforts to
carry out the terms of the protocol

FASHODA REPORT.
The Part Which Has Reached Paris,
Contains Little of Interest..-LondOn
Papers No Longer Fear War.

Paris, October 21.-Major Marchands
report, telegraphed from Cairo, was re-
ceived during the night. 1t does not
mention the arrival at Fashoda OF
Gen. Kitchener, and only gives an &C
count of the incidents of the expedition
with an elaborate description of the
routes followed, the points occupied,
the manner Of occupation, the raising Of
the flag, the force left at each point,
and the treaties of submission con-
cluded with the tribes, in addition to
referring to an encounter with the
Dervishes.
that Captain Baratier is the bearer OF
verbal report which the French au-
thorities were not willing to trust upon
the British telegraph lines.
The report only goes as far as the
beginning Of September, and says that
on August 10th the supplies of the party
were abundant. The reason for the
omission of any mention of the arrival
of General Kitchner at Fashoda is said
to be the fact that the report of Major
Marchand was not ready when Captain
Baratier left Fashoda. When the Cap
tain started from that place he did not
think be would go beyond khartoum.
Major Marchand, however. deemed it
advisable to send the finished portion
Of the report, intending to despatch the
remainder of it so soon as Captain Ba-
ratier returned. But the Captain, on
arriving at Cmdurman, found there in
structions telling him to go on to Cairo,
from which place he will proceed to
France.
Captain Baratier, of Major March
and's expedition, ON his arrival at
Cairo with the report for the French
government, said the mission had not
lost an officer or soldier. He added
that the health of all the members OF
the party was very good and that re-
victualling on the march was easy.
The Temps this evening publishes
dispatch from Nantez, saying that the
Fourth battalion Of the infantry regi-
ments comprising the Twenty-first di-
vision, with headquarters at Nantez,
have completed their war equipment.
Each man, it is added, has received 120
rounds Of ammunition and his camp
outfit, and the officers of all the four
regiments of that division have been
supplied with revolver cartridges. The
division is now in readiness to march
when ordered, and it is believed these
troops are intended for coast defense.
The defense of st. Nazaire is also be-
ing organized.
LONDON, October Enforcement cir
cles here are apparently satisfied that
the Fashoda question will not lead to war.
At the same time, the determination is
reiterated not to bulge from the position
which has been taken up, no matter
what the outcome may be. 1t is said on
good authority that the government has
also determined not to brook unreasonable
delay, and that in the event of France
