It is very incorrect Yy measures ve been taking place at any of our raval ports.” The Fashoda yellow book is volumin- ous, but it does not include Major Mar- chand’s report, which will be published later. The dispatches were largely an- ticipated by the English Fashoda blue book. The diplomatic conversations re- ceived show a curious endeavor on the French side to rep: t that Mar- chand's mission was quite as important as General Kitchener’s, on the ground that the struggle was against the Kha- lifa and barbarism. On September 18 M. del Casse, the Foreign Minister, informed the British Embassador to France, Sir Monson, in explicit . language, that France did not regard Lord Salisbury’s | virtue of con- shoda, on the claim to the Soudan b: quest as aplying to F ground that the Marchand expedition | went to the relief of the French expe- dition under Captain Licolard, which dated from a period long before the de- claration in the House of Commons by Sir Edward Gray, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Lord Rose- , as to the policy of the overnment toward the Soudan and at a time when the equatorial prov- inces were lost to civilization. In fact, M. del ¢ argued unless Great Brit- aln po d the Sultan’s mandate as well as the Khedive's to acquire all former Egyptian provinces France con- sidered herself equally England to pc sion of any point oc- cupied by French officers. Judging from the yellow book dis- patches the fory represents the French standpc M. del Casse contends that as Marchand reaghed Fa- shoda first England had no right to de- mand an ev; ation of Fashoda prior to negotiation On September 30 M. del Casse de- clared to Sir Edmund Monson that suc: a demand would be equivalent to an ultimatum and wonld afford a sacri- fice of France's material interests. So long as her honor v intact, for the sake of the Anglo-Fr one could doubt what would be the re- ply of France to such a demand. The subsequent dispatches appearing in the yellow book relate to conversa- tions between Baron de Courcel, French Embassador in London, and Lord Salis- | bury, the latter contending that the capture of Khartoum entitled Egypt to possession of all the Mahdi's dominions, and the French Embassador arguing that Major Marchand had captured Fashoda before General Kitchener took Khartoum and that France had for a Icng time held several posts on the Bahr-el-Gazel. Lord Salisbury retorted that the French forces in the regions referred to were too weak to constitute effective occupation. A final dispatch dated October 12 from Baron de Courcel to M. del Casse records a conversation with Lord Sal- isbury in, which the French Embassa- dor claimed access to the Nile through the Bahr-el-Gazel amicable delimitation of the respective spheres of interest of the two powers, in replying to which Lord Salisbury in- dicated that it would be necessary for him to consult his colleagues.

But one interpretation der can be made to my mind. ‘e my country is on the verge of ar with France over the Fashoda in- nt and that the entire military es- blishment including the reserves, of vhich my regiment forms a part, is | to be put upon a war footing. That offi- | cers in the regular service should be | called home is not surprising and would scarcely cause comment, but when offi- | cers and men of the reserves are per- | emptorily called it is safe to say the | situation is regarded seriously by those high in authority. I shall leave at once.” |SITUATION HAS AN OMINOUS OUTLOOK | LONDON, Oct. 24.—The French yel- | i low book on Fashoda seems to indicate | an intention of the French Government to utilize the Marchand affair as a| means of raising the whole Egyptian | question. This impression is confirmed | by the comments of most of the Paris | papers this morning. The London press admits the gravity | of the situation revealed by the yellow book, but the papers are unanimous in | declaring that it is impossible for Lord | Salisbury to consent to any negotiation | until oda is evacuated. As, how- ever, the French Minister, M. del Casse, | with equal firmness, declines to with- { draw Marchand without previous nego- | tiatlons, the situation has an ominous | outlook. | The Times in its editorial said Lord Salisbury has replied to Baron de Cour- By pretensions with the decision | which might have been hoped for, | Baron de Courcel, after a long confer- | ence with M. del Casse, left Paris for | London yesterday. According to the Temps, he had an | important conversation with Lord Sal- | isbury before he left London, and will | have another on returning there. { Another dispatch from Paris says it is rumored that he is bringing to Lon- don ‘definite proposals for the evacua- tion of Fashoda on condition that France be granted a Nile outlet on the | River Bahr-el-Gazal, one of the tribu- | | taries of the Nile, entering it about 150 miles. southwest of Fashoda at Mok- rem-el-Bohur. M. Lockroy, the Minister of Marine, expects that the movement of the troops to Cherbourg is merely one of | relief forces for Crete a..d the colonles. ACTIVITY OF THE FRENCH ARSENALS CHERBOURG, France, Oct. 23.—Or- ders have been received at the military | and naval arsenals here to prepare for | the arrival of a large body of troops to- morrow. The barracks are being hur- riedly put in order for thelr reception. | SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN | CANNOT BE RESCUED Clinging to the Rigging:of a Strand- -ed Bark, but Lifeboats Are Un- | able to Reach Them. HALIFAX, N. 8., Oct. 23—Tugs which | have been endeavoring for hours to | reach a large square rigged vessel ashore on Thrumpcap Shoals, about a mile and a half from here, have abandoned the| effort to save the crew of the unknown The vessel was discovered on the at daylight this morning, having | gone ashore in the heavy gale last night.

This afternoon tugs got near enough for Mr. Crosby, the Halifax | agent of the barkentine Irma, which was | | due from Turks Islands with salt, to ven- ture the opinion that the vessel was the Irma. It was conjectured that the vessel | might be the barkentine Ida Maud, but the dismasted hull appeared too large.

The Irma is 2223 tons, owned in Liverpool, N. B., and dommanded by Cap- tain Taylor of this city.

Owing to the fact that Spanish of- ficers are selling commissary stores at any price obtainable, army. supplies are now a drug in the market in the in- terior, making legitimate trade impossi- ble. It is asserted as the Spanish rule in Cuba draws to a close, corruption | and robbery daily become more open | and wholesale. The committee of trans- portation, charged with furnishing pas- sage tickets to Spanish officers return- ing to Spain, are chdrging an arbitrary rate of $4 each for a berth. If the vic- tim refuses to give up he is made to wait for several steamers the commis- slon claiming that there is no room. This abuse is openly spoken of, but the present situation is a free-for-all, grab- as-grab-can game and every one ap- pears eager to make money while the Spanish sun shines. The official report of the burials in the city of Havana since the first of the present year shows that therehave been 16,821 interments. The average death rate keeps on steadily at 47 per day. Great discontent prevails among the‘ Spanish troops begause of non-pay-| ments, in some cases for six months, | in others for seven months and in still others for even eight months, and the soldiers fear that they will be embarked for Spain without receiving their pay. | The poor quality of food supplied to | nearly all the soldlers has occasioned | much ill-feeling and serious insub-| ordination is feared in several locali- ties. In the province of Puerto Prin- cipe, of the 400 members of the civil guards 300 have deserted and gone over to the insurgents. At XNuevitas the Tarragona Battalion became insub- ordinate and attempted to join the in- surgents on account of the short ra- | tions and the wretched quality of the| food supplied by their chief. General | March, in command of that province, on learning of this occurrence, went to | Nuevitas and succeeded in quieting the | Benefactors. soldiers by furnishing them with good and plentiful rations. Many soldiers until recently were deserting, but Gen- eral Blanco’s decree regarding disband- ment has put a stop to the defections. Over 5000 soldiers have been mustered out- since the issuance of the decree. The sanitary brigades of Havana, Guanabacoa, Regla and Gunes, with several other localities in Havana province. have petitioned General Blanco that they be disbanded so that they may -remain in the island. Some of the engineer brigades have also asked for their discharge. The greater part of them are composed of the best drilled soldiers. Over 400 of the 700 members of the Orden Publico at Ha- vana have also asked that they be mus- tered out in order that they might re- main in Cuba, 50 per ceat of the civil guards in the island have made a simi- lar request. None of the artillerymen, however, have asked to be allowed to remain. The reason for this is said to be that the artillery chiefs maintain an honest administration, and that the soldiers are well supplied with food and clothing and are paid up to date. About fifty Cuban patriotic clubs have been organized in Havana under the management in a large majority of cases by physicians, lawyers and other professional men. Many of the mem- bers of some of these clubs attended the first meetings wearing the Cuban and American flags crossed. The presiding | officers of several of the clubs, noticing the insigna in the buttonholes of the coats of members, ordered that in fu- ture only the Cuban flag should be worn. In many instances this order was complied with. Cuban General Re~o has arrived at | Havana from Puerto Principe and is preachin- in the Havana cafes and the insurgent camps near the city a holy war against the Americans. He has in- terviewed many of the leaders of the Cubans and has urged the carrying on of the war against the Americans if independence is not at once granted to Cuba. Cuban Colonel Torriet has also ar- rived at Havana from the east, and is carrying on a strong campaign against the Americans and Calixto Garecia, whom he professes to look upon as a traitor to the Cubans, having been bribed by American gold. The colonel in an interview with one of the leading newspapers in Havana has made all sorts of charges against Garcia and the Americans, but the censor would not allow an account of the interview to be published, fearing that it might give rise to disturbances. A secret circular has been sent to the presidents of all the Cuban patriotic committees denouncing a large number of Cubans who are looked upon as traitors to the cause of Cuban inde- pendence and are charged with being attached to the Americans. The cir- cular recommends a vigorous contest against not only Spanish residents, but agalnst the Americans as well, “who are endeavoring to steal the Cubans’ victory.” The Spanish Colonel Cervera, Mili- tary Governor of Mariano, pays daily visits to the insurgent camps in his dis- trict, advising the Cubans not to sur- render their arms and to make resist- ance until the independence of the island is declared. Colonel Cervera is an intimate friend of General Parrado, president of the Spanish Evacuation Commission. During the last two weeks several hundred Remington carbines and large quantities of ammunition have beer | sent from Havana, it is presumed, by some of the Spanish chiefs. The Spanish residents, manufac- turers, merchants and planters are somewhat alarmed and criticize in se- vere terms the behavior of some of the Spanish chiefs, who, it is alleged, are acting suspiciously in'many places and are working in favor of Cuban inde- pendence, advising the Cubans to per- sist in their revolutionary attitude. For this reason many-of the Spanish resi- dents here have written long letters to friends in Madrid in order that the home Government may be acquainted with what is happening in the islands, and have requested that on behalf of Spain’s interests and the part of the Spanish residents the evacuation may be completed as soon as possible, so as | to avold prolonging the existing dan- gerous condition of affairs. FIERCE PACE WiR INMISSISSPPI One White Man and Nine Negroes Killed. | CITIZENS HUNTING A BAND OF | ASSASSINS. | | Have the Names of Forty Colored | Men Who Started the Siaugh- ter and Are Determined to Capture Them. Special Dispatch to The Call. MEMPHIS, Oct. 23.—A special to the Commercial Appeal from Forest, Miss,, says: As a result of an attempt to ar- rest a negro near Harpersville, Scott County, In the eastern part of the State, one white deputy was killed, three wounded and according to the latest re- port nine negroes have been killed by the citizens of the Harpersville neigh- borhood ‘and,, the Sheriff’s posse com- bined. The pursuit of about fifty ne- groes, which had joined the original of- tender with the avowed determination to prevent his arrest and capture, and which ambushed the party attempting the arrest, continues and by morning the number of fatalities will undoubt- edly have assumed large proportions. The whole country is terribly aroused and the Sheriff’s posse has been rein- forced with men from all the neighbor- ing towns. Gdvernor McLaurin has gone to the scene, which is about ten miles north of Forest, the nearest railroad point. The trouble originated last Friday, when a negro named Burke had an al- tercation with his employer, Charles Freeman, a white man,”in which the negro got the better of the difficulty. The next night a crowd of white men, headed by Wallace Sibley, went to Burke's house. When they arrived upon the scene and called for Burke they were greeted with a fusillade from the negroes concealed in the bushes surrounding the house and in the house itself. Wallace Sibley, the leader, fell dead at the first volley and three more white members -of the ecrowd, :James Johnson, James Hilton and James ‘Wells, were wounded. The whites re- turned the fire. but were unable to do any execution, as their assailants were all concealed. There were not more than eight men in the white crowd, and finding it impossible to resist effectively they dispersed toward Harpersville. It was not known at that time that Sibley was injured, but upon a return to the scene this morning he was found dead in the yard. The wounded deputies were able to get back to town. This occurrence took place early in the night. When the crowd returned to Harperville the news spread like wild- fire. During‘the night a large crowd gathered. ey immediately went toé Burke’s house and got from his mother the names of all the parties in the crowd who had ambushed the whites the night before. In all there were about forty negroes who had gathered to prevent the arrest of Burke, and a list was made up at her dictation. All of them had fled. Then the pursuit and search for each of the proscribed dar- kies began. According to the state- ment of reliable citizens, six negroes were found and killed by the crowd of armed and determined citizens before the Sheriff arrived. This morning Sheriff Stevenson was wired of the condition of affairs and he was asked to get together a posse and come to Harpersville. Gathering a posse of twenty men he started. He | proceeded to after leaving the house where the first tragedy was committed the negroes scattered through the surrounding country. A reliable telephone message was re- ceived at a late hour to-night that three more negroes were found and killed, making a- total of nine killed to-day, with about forty more to be heard from. Sheriff Stevenson, realizing the danger apprehended, immediately wired Governor McLaurin at Brandon for aid in quelling a probable widespread dis- turbance. - Upon receipt of his telegram the Governor wired Adjutant General Henry W. Jackson to get together a company of the National Guard and proceed to the scene upon the first train. Gemneral Henry immediately re- sponded that there was no National Guard obtainable, but he would get to- | gether a company of armed men and | render all necessary assistance. In the meantime the QGovernor se- cured a special train at Brandon and, accompanied by a posse of thirty men, Forest. Arriving here early in the evening and finding that there was little danger of the riot as- suming proportions beyond the ability of the posse on hand to keep in bounds, he wired General Henry that it was un- necessary for him to bring his volun- teers from Jackson. ; The posse is operating in the swamps about a mile from Harpersville, where most of the fugitives are supposed to be concealed. There is a message here to the effect that the citizens are ap- prehensive of armed negroes entering the town to-night, and guards will be set to prevent a surprise. The Gov- ernor and Mr. Henry are naturally counseling moderation, but in the ex- cited state of the public mind a general fear is expressed that the public will not regard the suggestion favorably. Their presence will have a good effect in restraining the number of fatalities after enough negroes have been killed to satisfy the outraged feelings in that section. e WHITE_GUARD SHOT BY NEGROES IN THE NIGHT Sequel to the Riots at Ashpole, N. C., Pursuit and Capture of Four Assassins, WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct. 23—A special to the Star from Lumberton says: At 3 o’clock this morning a squad from the negroes who were dispersed at Ashpole, Robeson County, crept up to town and shot three whites stationed there as guards. They were Albert Floyd, Robert Inman and William Bul- lard. Bullard is seriously wounded and the others are slightly hurt. A hundred whites with bloodhounds are now in pursuit, and it is said four of the ne- groes have been caught. The whites are telegraphing the principal towns in the State for Winchester rifles to be sent there immediately. The four negroes who shot the three white guards were captured near Ash- pole. They were brought to bay by the whites and -are now confined in box cars at 'Ashpole and heavily guarded. It Is feared that the negroes will at- tempt to assassinate the guards, which will 80 exasperate the whites as to cause more serious trouble. The guard was composed of eight or ten men who were standing around the fire in the open air, thus becoming easy targets for the negroes, who .fired under cover of darkness and then fled. The Ashpole incident has increased the excitement at Wilmington, which is near the riot line. INDIGNATION CAUSED BY AN EDITOR’S ARREST MADRID, Oct. 23.—Lleutenant Gen- eral Correa, Minister of War, threatens to resign unless the Government up- holds the action of General Chinchilla, Captain General of Madrid, who, last week imprisoned Senor Figuerea, editor of El Nacional, for publishing an ar- ticle not ‘previously submitted to the censor—the imprisonment being resent- ed in certain quarters as an infringe- ment of Figuerea's alleged immunity from arrest as a member of the Cham- ber of Drouties. 7 Senor Gamazo oh Friday last tender- ed his resignation as Minister of Public was joined by a crowd of citizens num- bering over 300 men.

The Madrid newspapers, according to | a cable dispatch Friday haveaddressed a complaint to the Supreme Court of Madrid against General Chinchilla’s ac- tion. The Captain General on the ap- pearance of the uncensored article. or- dered the suppression of El Nacional, but the suspension order was event- ually annulled. SAGASTA CABINET TO STAY IN POWER Speclal cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 15%, by James Gor- don Bennett. 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 | Senor Gamazo the matter will end. Senor Sagasta is disposed at all haz- ards to hold his party in power, and the chances of Silvela are further off than ever. Should there be a change it ‘would be General Polavieja with a Min- istry composed of non-political men. He had an audience of two hours yes- terday with the Queen Regent. HOBSON’S NEXT EXPLOIT. After an Appropriation to Raise the Vizcaya. SANTTAGO, Oct. 23.—It is reported from Guantanamo that Naval Constructor Hob- son, who left there early last week for Jamaica, is going to Washington to ob- tain an apg)ropr!a.non of $1,000,000 for the purpose_of raising the sunken Spanish cruiser Vizcaya.

FOUNDED BY ETIENNE CABET AND FLOURISHED DURING HIS LEADERSHIP. However, the Younger Element Finally Became Dissatisfied and Went Forth Into - Gayer Life. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CORNING, (Towa, Oct. 23.—The long- est lived and undoubtedly the most nearly successful experiment ever made in the Western Hemisphere with pure communism, came to an end, when, late yesterday afternoon, Judge H. M. Towner in the District Court entered an order discharging the receiver of the New Icarian Community, and formally declaring the business of the commu- nity wound up. Etienne Cabet, scholar historian, agitator, sociologist and philanthropist, who two generations ago was stirring France with his socialistic and commu- nistic writings; who contributed much toward inciting the revolution of 1848, of which he was afterward historian; contemporary and co-worker of Proud- hon in behalf of the poor and oppressed of France, and finally, exiled from his own country, was the founder of the community which, after an existence of almost half a century, came to an end yesterday. Cabet, scientific communist, tried to found his first colony in France, but the Government of Louis Philippe was opposed to such experiments, and its opposition forces to the Icarians, as ad- herents of the new communistic doc- trines called themselves, to go to the new world. The Icarians went first to Texas, where they were offered an area as large as a good-sized French department for experiment. The em- issaries, after looking over the pros- pect, decided against it, and went back to New Orlenas. Here they were joined by others, and at last, when the Mor- mons left Nauvoo, Illinois, the Icari- ans, who had bought the old Mormon holdings, secured from the Illinois Leg- islature a charter granting special priv- ileges and immunities. About 2000 French enthusiasts joined them, Cabet at their head. He was practically dic- tator of the community: for years no question was raised as to his authority, and so long as he was in charge all went well. The community grew and prospered and there was peace and plenty. ‘Dissensions arose, however, and Ca- bet decided to o farther West, and in 1853 4000 acres were secured near this city, where wew Icaria was established. The were compelled to mortgage the settlement, which caused another dis- sension, and the question of removing to California was discussed. but finally defeated.
