T ARTS, Oct. 23.-Interest in the
Fashoda incident is increasing.
Indeed, a certain tone Of anxiety
is noticeable in public opinion.
There was a rumor last even
ing that England intended to send an
ultimatum tonight. The press repeats
it and says it IS current in Official cir
cIes in London. This is probably MOTH
ing more than an alarmist view OF
orders given by the admiralty IN va
rious directions, notably that Warshlps
at Portsmouth shall bring up their
crews to the full strength. HaVa S
Agency announce that official notes
have been given out to the English pa
perse denying that any warlike prepare
ton is intended in these orders.
As matter of fact, everything is be-
ing done here to settle the question
peacefully. Most of the papers discuss
the compromise as an acceptable ar
rangement All of them refuse even TO
consider the recall of Marchand pure
and simple.
The Liberte, in discussing the speech
of NJ Chaplin, says the president OF
the local government board is ike all
his colleagues. Lord Salisbury himself,
while expressing pacific sentiments and
friendship for France, demands the
evacuation of Fashoda by Marchand as
preliminary TO negotiations.
That" says Liberte, lit must be said
and repeated, the English Government
will never obtain. We don't insist it
adds, upon the occupation Of Fashoda,
but we do absolutely upon having &C
cess - the lie. If an agreement is
possible on this basis We ask nothing
better than to subscribe to it. But it
ought to be clearly understood that till
such an arrangement has been concluded
and so long as the region allotted to US
has not been placed under our absolute
sovereignty or exactly defined the
French flag will remain at / ashoda
with Marchand guarding it. We pro-
woke nobody, but we insist upon our
rights being respected"
What the Liberte says is representa-
tive Of the French press. War is not
sought, but will not be avoided at the
price Of dishonor.

SAGASTA CABINET

Special cable to The Call and the New York

MADRID, Oct. 23.-In spite of what
you may hear to the contrary there is
every possibility that the Ministerial
crisis will be arranged amicably to-
morrow. This will be due to the ap-
peals made to those who wish to re-
sign that in the present condition of
affairs it would be unpatriotic to leave,
and probably with the departure Of
Senior Gamazo the matter will end.
Senior Sagasta is disposed at all haz-
ards to hold his party in power, and

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug 3d.
Enthusiastic scenes were witnessed
when the United States warship New
Orleans, the first American vessel en-
tering the harbor of San Juan since
the war with Spain began, came into
port and anchored near the English
cable ship. This arrival of the New
Orleans was rather unexpected and
created considerable excitement, when
the vessel entered the harbor at slow
speed, the stars and stripes flying from
the forepeak and sounding lines being
constantly in use.
Along the walls of MORO Castle
Spanish soldiers formed in a solid
mass, while great crowds of citizens
sWarmed on the housetops and along
the wharves, eagerly watching the adj
vance of the American vessel.
After the New Orleans had dropped
anchor her commander came ashore at
once to pay his respects to Captain
General Macias. He was met at the
wharf by an immense crowd.
Rear Admiral Schley is expected to
arrive on September 6, when he will
hoist his new ensign on the New Or
leans.
Major General Miles has telegraphed
to Captain General Macias, soliciting
clemency in the case of Mayor San
chez, who, it is thought here, probably
will not be shot. There is a rumor
that he has made his escape.

Special Dispatch TO The Call.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-General Weyler
according to a special dispatch from
Madrid. published here to-day, has
outlined his future policy. He pre-
poses, it appears, to be independent OF
beth the Government and of the oppo-
siuon, always aiming to preserve the
country and to ,reorganize the army.
He expresses the belief that the Car
lists have plenty Of money, some of
which, he alleges, comes from France.
He says that the Republicans have no
personal animus against the Queen,
their only object being to adopt firm
international stand, "one result Of
which would be to check in some meas
ure England's ambition"
Weyler'S statement was made to a
committee of the Weylerites who called
on him this morning at Palma Majo-
RIGA. He expects to speak this even
ing before a club convention. 1t is
reported that the general is returning
to politics in response to many appeals
from Spain and abroad, and it is added
that he will attend the sessions of the
Cortes and expound his views as to the
causes of the war disasters.
The substance of Weyler's declara-
ton to the delegation of the Weyler
Club is as follows:
Inc general 10 duNOCdle d
sweeping policy of rehabilitation Of the
Government. He will refuse to aid
in any temporary measures and will
propose military dictatorship for the
reorganization of the army and navy.
Their honor, he remarked, had been
lost, as well as the Antilles, owing sole
ly to military deficiencies.
General Weyler expressed the belief
that the present Cabinet would be sue
ceeded by military dictatorship or
by a Silvela Ministry. He added he did
not desire a change in the form of
Government, but he pointed out that
the Carlists had an excellent organi-
cation. Continuing, the former cap
tain general of Cuba urged Spain to
abandon her attitude Of international
neutrality in order to be prepared to
oppose Great Britain when the latter.
desiring to enlarge her sphere of &C
tion at Gibraltar, demanded the Sierra
Carbonera, Melilla or other adjacent
Spanish possessions. The general
deemed it better to lost the Philip
pines, the Importance of which he did
not appreciate, than the territory
around Gibraltar. In conclusion, he
deplored the loss of the Antilles for
the sake of the Spaniards who resided
in the islands and also for the sake of
the country's commerce.

special pispatch to The cam.

SEATTLE, Aug. 30.-Dr. Sheldon
Jackson, general agent of education in
Alaska, returned from the north on the
steamship Roanoke. He brings the
news Of the loss of the whaler Rosa
rio. on the east side of Point Barrow,
about July 10. -,
But meager information is available
as to the manner in which the Rosario
was crushed out of existence by the
terrific ice pack of the Arctic. When
the steamship Del Norte, with DR.,
Jackson aboard, put into Port Car
ence on August 5, the whaler Belve-
dere was in the port. She. had escaped
from the frozen waters of the north
and was taking on coal and supplies
preparatory to again going into the
neighborhood of Point Barrow to en-
gage in whaling during the present
open season. The Belvedere crew told
of the crushing of the Rosario, but
thought that no lives had been lost.
They were unable to give particulars
or DR.. Jackson failed to obtain them.
However, they expressed the belief
that all the other whaling vessels would
have a safe deliverance and spend the
open season in the Arctic before re-
turning to San Francisco.
When Captain Tuttle, with the reve-
nue. cutter Bear, left Port Clarence the
latter part of July. he expressed the
belief that he would get to Point Bar
row, take ON board impoverished and
sick sailors and return by August Is.
Nothing, however, has been heard
from him up to August 10, at which
time the Del Norte again put into
Port Clarence, en- route to st. Michael.
The Rosario was one of the impris-
oned Whalers for whose relief the ex-
petition recently went northWard from
this port The vessel was owned in
this city by j. D. Spreckels & Bros. Co.,
Sheldon, the Arctic Oil Works and
others being interested in the craft.
For a number of years the Rosario
had been engaged in whaling, sailing
out of this port, and 1t was very we'll
known along this coast.
The Rosario was built at San Fran
cisco in 1873. She was vessel of 141. %
net tonnage.
The Rosario was in command of
Captain E. Coffin, competent navlga-
tor. The rest of the crew was as fol-
lows: William L. Baker, first mate;
w. H Harrington, second mate; Joe
s. Nicholas, third mate; Edgar Heplin,
