wbcii most of the passengers were at
dinner. The stes ter was going at
full speed and suddenly we heard a
loud crash, which seemed to denote
that we had collided with some other
vessel, but when we rushed on deck
we found the Mohegan was on the
jocks.
Boats Lowered.
“Orders were given to immediately
lower the boats and the crew of the
steamer behaved like heroes. The
boats were launched. The women
were sent in first. But whether
those boats reached the land or not.

Pari* to The Central New* tiyt tha'
the government ha* recalved a tele
gram from Cairo saying the reports
published In the English pree* that
Major Manhand fat without supplies Is
, false.
A dispatch from Paris to the Kx-
I change Telegraph company say* that
little credence is glr -u in official cir
cle* to the report that M. Itelcasse,
minister of foreign affairs. Is about to
resign.
Th,. despatch also says It Is consider
ed that the English government has
tacitly consented to suspend negotia
tions in regard to Kashnda until Major
Marchaml's report arrives. It is. how
ever. recognised st the qua! d'Orsay
that, apart from the question of prin
ciple, Major Msrchand's perilous posi
tion will not permit any protracted ne
gotiations. Consequently, In all proba
bility. upon the receipt of Msrehnnd's
report, the government will consent to
his withdrawal front Faahoda, with the
understanding, however, that France
does not renounce her claim* In the
Nile valley, and diplomatic correspond
ence will Immediately follow. This is
considered the only manner In which
the government can satisfy England
immediately without alarming the
Chauvinist spirit, which the Dreyfus
affair has stimulated so much.
The Eclair, alluding to Lord R<’*e
liery’s reference to the assertion nf M.
Delcasse that the Marchand expedition
was not official, says it does not be
lieve that M. Delcasse Informed the
British ambassador to that effect. “The
Man hand mission," the paper says,
j “has always had, and still retains, a
strictly official character."
While tho Purls bluff regarding Fat
shod* Is confined to inferior journals
and the comments of the Temps and
'other weighty organs are dignified and
i moderate, it is regarded as noteworthy
that the French, in eluding official cir
cles, continue to refer to “negotia
tions,” notwithstanding Lord Salisbu
ry's declaration that the matter does
not admit of discussion.
The Times' comment concerning this
Is typical of many. It says there are no
negotiations, whether regular or other
wise. There Is nothing to negotiate
about. It France disavows Major Mar
chnnd's unfriendly act and recalls him
negotiations for the delimitation of the
French possession In the Congo basin
may then begin. If she ratifies his act,
negotiations of any sort will be impos
sible.
Referring to the compensation to be
given to France, the Tmiscc continues:
“We have always been ready to give
every facility to international trade
wherever our Influence is paramount,
but we cannot give the Freeh any such
facility as compensation for having
done an Illegal and unfriendly act.”
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says he understands on good authori
ty that the compensation that Prance
will expect for evacuating Fashoda Is
a small commercial post on or near the
Nile or at the entrance of the Bahr
el-Ghazo;.
