It begins with a | dispatch dated December 10, 1897, from | Sir Edmund Monson, British Embassa- | dor at Parfs, to Lord Salisbury, refer- | ring to rumors of the massacre of the Marchand expedition, and expressing the Embassador’s satisfaction that he has been allowed to acquaint M. Han- otaux (French Foreign Minister of that day) with Lord Salisbury’s view that | if other questions are adjusted Great Britaln will make no difficulty regard- | ing the French claim on the northern | and eastern shores of Lake Tchad. The | dispatch shows, however, that the Em- bassador made it clear that this conces- sion must not be understood as admit- ting the right of any European power except Great Britain to occupy any part of the Nile valley. M. Hanotaux replied on December 24 in a long dispatch of respectful protest against Lord Salisbury’s views. On August 2 of this year Lord Sal- isbury wrote Lord Cramer, British dip- lomatic agent at Cairo, giving him in- | structions that, after the capture of | Khartoum, two flotillas should ascend to Fashoda and go up the Blue Nile as far as it should prove navigable for steamers. Under these instructions the Sirdar was personally to command the Fashoda flotilla and to take a few the object being to assert Great Brit- ain’s sphere of influence in the Nile val- LReproduced frc 1-*‘Seven Years in the Soudan,” published by Sampson, Low & Co., London, b Which was recently occupied by a French expedition under Marchand. Since then a force of English and Egyptian troops commanded by General Kitchener appeared and a demand for the withdrawal of the French followed. N that this contention admitted of no dis- cussion. Then follows various dispatches re- cording the discussion before Sir Ed- mund Monson and M. Del Casse, the latter explaining that Marchand was now virtually a lieutenant to the Lio- tard expedition, and that, therefore, the situation at Fashoda, even if Marchand was there, could not be as dangerous as Sir Edmund Monson had repre- sented. On September 25 the Sirdar reported the results of his expedition to Fa- shoda, fully confirming the announce- ments already cabled to the Associat- ed Press, including the fact that Gen- eral Kitchener's removal there pre- vented a second Dervish attack on Marchand. The French officer informed the Sir- dar that he had concluded a treaty, which he had sent to France for rati- fication, whereby the Shillock chiefs had placed the country under French protection. Marchand replied in the negative to General Kitchener’s ques- tion whether he was prepared to resist the hoisting of the Egyptian flag, but he maintained that he had orders from the French Government to occupy Fa- shoda. On the departure of the British forces General Kitchener notified Major Mar- chand in writing that all transporta- tion of war material on the Nile was absolutely prohibited. The Sirdar’s dispatch concludes as follows: ““The chief Shillock came to our camp and positively denied that they had concluded any treaty with Marchand, while all the Shillocks de- clared their allegiance to the British Government. Moreover, Marchand was in such a precarious position that noth- ing could have prevented his annihila- tion by the Dervishes had we been a fortnight later in crushing the Khalifa. Other dispatches indicate that M. Del Casse declined Great Britain's request for the immediate recall of Major Mar- chand, and that Great Britain agreed to dispatch a message for the French Government to Marchand as a matter of courtesy without accepting any re- sponsibility for the results delay might entail and still maintaining that the matter admitted of no comr-omise. In the final dispatch appearing in the blue book Lord Salisbury, under date of October 3, instructs Sir Edmund Monson to inform M. Del Casse that the latter’s message to Major Mar- chand has been sent, but that Great Britain views the Marchand mission as having no political significance what- ever. CAIRO, Oct. 9.—The report that the treasures of the Khalifa, valued at £10,000,000 (850,000,000) has been found and was being forwarded to Cairo is without foundation. Equally baseless is the report that General Kttchener will resign the Sir- darship. il TROOPS FROM KHARTOUM DYING LIKE FLIES LONDON, Oct. 10.—A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Alexandria says: The troops who have returned from Khartoum are dyving like flies from en- teric disorders, supposed to be due to canned beef and indulgence in cheap spirits. LONDON, Oct. 10.—All the morning papers applaud Lord Salisbury's firm- ness in the Fashoda question and the fact that he has approved all the do- ings of General Kitchener. e PRINCESS TROUBETZKY TAKES HER OWN LIFE ‘Was Under Arrest at Berlin Under an Italian Extradition Demand.
