A FRENCH YELLOW BOOK
USES MANY WORDS BUT SAYS
MIGHTY LITTLE
FRENCH SPEECH IS FRIENDLY
But No Disposition Is Shown to With.
draw From Fashoda-Mlitary
and Naval Movements

Associated Press Special Wire.
PARIS, Oct. pa semi-official note is
sued this evening says: There is no founda-
tion for the alarmist rumors regarding the
relations between France and Great Brit
ain. It is very incorrect to say that extraor-
dinary measures have been taken place at
any of our naval ports.
The Fashoda yellow book is very volumin-
ous, but 1t does not include Maj. Marchand's s
report, which will be published later. The
dispatch, however, is largely anticipated
by the English Fashoda blue book.
The diplomatic conversations received
show curious endeavor on the French side
to represent that Marchand's mission was
quite as important as Gen. Kitchener's, on
the ground that the struggle was against
the khalifa and barbarism.
On September Is M. del Case, the foreign
minister, informed the British ambassador
to France, Sir Edmund Monson, in explicit
language that France did not regard Lord
Salisbury's claim to the Soudan by virtue
of conquest as applying to Fashoda, on
the ground that the Marchand expedition
went to the relief Of the French expedition
under Capt. Licolard, which dated from a
period long before the declaration in the
house of commons by Sir Edward Gray
under secretary of state for foreign affairs
in Lord Rosebery's cabinet, as to the policy
of the British government toward the Sou
dan and at time when the equatorial priv
inces were lost to civilization.
In fact, M. del Case argued that unless
Great Britain possessed the sultan's man
date as we'll as the khedive's, to acquire all
former Egyptian provinces, France consid
cred herself equally entitled with England
to possession of any point occupied by
French officers.
Judging from the yellow book dispatches
the foregoing represents the French stand
point and M. del Casse contends that af
Marchand reached Fashoda first, England
had no right to demand an evacuation Of
Tashoda prior to negotiations.
On September 30th M. del Casse declared
to Sir Edmund Monson that such demand
would be equivalent to an ultimatum and
would afford sacrifice of Frances mate
rial interests. So long as her honor was in
tact, for the sake of the Anglo French en-
tente no one could doubt what would be the
reply of France to sucha demand.
The subsequent dispatches appearing in
the yellow Book" relate to conversations
between Baron de Courcel, French ambas
sador in London, and Lord Salisbury, the
latter contending that the capture of Khar
toum entitled Egypt to possession of all the
mahdi's dominions, and the French ambas
sador arguing that Major Marchand had
captured Fashoda before Gen. Kitchener
took Khartoum, and that France had for q
long time held several posts on the Bahr-el
Gazal. Lord Salisbury retorted that the
French force in the regions referred to wal
too weak to constitute effective occupation.

from Baron de Courcel to M. del Casse, re

SPANISH CABINET CRISIS
Growing Out Of the Arrest of Edito,
Chinchilla

MADRID, Oct. 23.-Eeutenant General
Correa, minister of war, threatens to resign
unless the government upholds the action
of General Chinchilla, captain general Of
Madrid, who last week imprisoned Senol
Figuerea, editor of Ell Nacional, for publish
ing an article not previously submitted to
the censor-the imprisonment being re.
sented in certain quarters as an infringe
ment of Figuerea's alleged immunity from
arrest as member of the chamber Of depu-
ties
Senior Gamazo, on Friday last, rendered
ms resignation as minister Of public instruc-
the arrest of Senior Figuerea. His resigna.
tion,. taken with the threat of General Cor
rea, indicates radical division of sentiment
in the Sagasta ministry on the subject.
The Madrid newspapers, according to a
cable dispatch Friday, have addressed a
complaint to the supreme court of Madrid
against General Chinchilla's action. The
captain general, on the appearance of the un-
censored article, ordered the suppression Of
FL Nacional, but the suspension order was
eventually annulled.
