THE FAsHODA AFFAIR.
kitchener's Report Makes interest
Ing Developments, 1t is Said.

LONDON, September 2S.-The newspa-
pers Of the country are clamorlng for the
government to take the public into its
confidence in regard to the Fashoda af-
fair. having been Informed that General
kitchener's report has reached the For
eign Office, and that il makes interesting
developments. They appear to be deeply
disappointed that diplomats are to have
the settlement of the question, and ex-
press fear that Lord Salisbury will
prove susceptible to French blandish-
meits.
The Foreign Office has issued formal
refusal 10 make public any further de-
tails Of the affair, some of which, how
ever, are leaking out.
The Sirdar, according to these, after
Major Marchand refused to furl the
French flag, formally announced that he
had come to raise the Egyptian flag but
before doing so desired to know whether
Major Marchand wished to enter a pro-
test.
The Frenchman replied in the negative,
and the Sirdar then planted the Egyptian
flag alone-not the Egyptian and British
flags, as at first reported-5O0 metres 5i6
YARDS from the French flagstaff.
Negotiations relative to the matter were
begun at Paris to-day, the British AM
bassador, Right Hon. Sir Edmund j. Mon
son, calling upon NJ Delcasse, the French
Foreign Minister.
EVERYTHING PREARRANGED.
LONDON, September 29-The Daily
Chronicle this morning declares that Cen
eral Kitchener had full instructions as "a
how TO meet the Marchand expedition, and
that everything happened as had been
anticipated.
There is nothing now for France
says the Chronicle, but TO eXtricate Ma
jor Marchand from his untenable posi-
ton. There is no alternative to this but
a declaration OF war. Great Britain will
not allow armed reinforcements TO reach
Major Marchand. When France shall
have accepted the inevitable it is believed
that England will assent to the neutrali.
