sALIsBURY's FIRM STAND.
BritOns Glad He Has Burned His
Bridges behind Him.

London Oct 1O-The comments in pub
lie and the newpapers show that the Mar
quis of Salisburys determined
stand on the question of the
occupation of Fashoda has come
as a most agreeable relief and as dispos-
ing of all the stories of a compromise
No whisper of dissent is heard anywhere.
Both friends and opponents of the premier
are rejoicing in the fact that In publish
ing the blue book on the Fashoda ques-
ton he has burned his bridges behind
him.
While 1t is recognized that the situation,
by this publication, has become more diff
fcult for France, there Is almost entire
absence of disposition anywhere to be-
leve that France proposes to press her
claims to the point of danger
The Matin, which is directly inspired by
The French foreign office, and which was
foremost in urging extremist views voices
the more pacific mood, which is apparently
obtaining in PARIS, saying: I'VE shall
probably not risk a war with Great
Britain for nominal sovereignty over ter
ritories at an immense distance from our
possessions. They are as inaccessible from
our coast annexat.ons as the mountains
in the moon. We can retain our honor
without retaining Fashoda. Prudence
should prevent US from loading ourselves
with too much territory. We must be
colonial, but in moderation"
The newspapers of Paris this evening
take calm view of the situation and
plead for moderation. They express a sim
cere desire for a friendly settlement Of
the question when Maj. Marchand's report
arrives.
The prevailing view of political men Is
that the French cabinet will find a way
out of the difficulty In the report asked
from Maj. Marchand, who is expected in
response to a hint from the French for
eign Office, will declare that his position
al Fashoda is untenable.
The publication of such a report IL is
held, would fully justify the French gov
eminent IN recalling him

UNCLE SAM SHOULD BE GENEROUS.
French Press Anxious in Behalf of
the Spanish Cause.


Paris, Oct 10-The United States Peace
Commission held two sessions to-day.
They were devoted to acquiring and weigh
ing information relative to all the ques-
tions involved in the matters under the
immediate consideration of the commits
sionerG.
1t is believed that the questions now be-
ing discussed relate TO Cuba and the ad-
justment of the debt of that island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence Of
anxiety in behalf of the Spanish cause.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the
political situation and draws the conclu-
sion that between the alleged Republican
purpose of expansion and the Democratic
opposition thereto, President Mckinley
and the United States commission win be
inspired after all with the sentiments of
generosity which are the honor of victo-
rious nations"
The keynote of these expressions seem to
have been sounded by a Spanish diplomat
to an American here last week, the diplo-
mat saying that the United States should
be generous to Spain. The remark and the
utterances Of the French press give 10
each other added significance.
A dispatch from Madrid this morning
saws the cost OF the Cuban and Philip
pine campaigns viii exceed 1900 900
pesetas
NJ. Jules Cambon, the former French
ambassador at Washington. arrived in
Paris this morning. He will remain here
