THE FRENCH MERCHANTS
As Well as The British Oppose
Such a Conflict.
—.» . .
Paris, Oet. 21.—The drift of
opinion of the Farhoda question
among commercial men in Paris
was shown by a resolution adopted
this afternoon by the municipal
council of thia city urging the
French government without sacri
ficing the material interests of the
country to use its utmost efforts to
avert a conflict with Great Britain
over this dispute.
M, De'caseP, minister of foreign
affairs, has ordered that the ie
port es Major Marchand as to the
situation of Fashoda. which is ex
pected at Cairo tonight, be tele
graphed textually. Owing to its
probable length, it is expected
that at least forty-oi’ht hours
will be required to reduce it to the
French cipher code at Cairo and
to translate it in Paris.
According to the French papers,
there were important naval expe
riments at Toulon last evening. A
flotilla of torpedo boats were de
tailed to make an endeavor to
force the entrance of the harbor
and the whole garrison was called
to arms and the forts and batteries
were tn.i.ned, ready for instant
action. The result of the experi
ments baa not been made public
Vice Admiral Barrera presided
yesterday at a secret council of
war at Brest, in which the chiefs
of the maritime forces took part.
Confidential orders were subse
quently issued to the garrison,
England's War Fkver Cooling.
London, Oct. 21. The London
morning papers have cooled down
to an exceedingly cautious and
conservative tone in dealing with
ths Fashoda question, apparently
realizing that the public on both
sides of the channel is heated to
the danger point. There is a
marked effort to avoid an offeu-»
sive tone.
The Times says:
“Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has
gone some way to persuade our
neighbors that we really mean
what we say. The time has come
when it is absolutely necessary to
dispel French dreams on this sub
ject unless very dangerous conse
quences are to result, but the chan
cellor of the exchequer might have
performed the operation more dex
terously
The Daily News, which voices
the general feeling, says;
“The country is determined to
maintain its rights, but there is
no occasion to provoke our oppo
nents or to add fuel to th* con
troversy.’’

Under the rules of internation

‘SPREADEAGLED”
Col. Moore Defends This Bru
tal Punishment
WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT
When Soldiers Ar* Persistency
Unruly.
■ 1
Camp Meade, Pa , Oct. 21—
The three Second West Virginia
privates who were “spread-eagled’’
because they refused to work on
Sunday, are still in the regimental
guardhouse under a heavy guard.
The men are manacled, and they
will do police duty until they pro
mise to obey or'ere. Lieutenant
Col. Moore is in command of the
regiment in Col. Castell’s absence
and he admits having given orders
to “spread-eagle” Mace, Mesa and
Plank. He says they are old offen
ders, and that if they do not obey
their superiors he will repeat the
punishment. Mose was “bucked
and gagged” recently for cursing
an officer,
Col- Moore says it is necessary
to resort to corporal punishment
among the rough element in the
regiment to maintain discipline,
B'jme of the men in this command
were recruited in the West Virgin
ia mountains, and the officers
claim they are constantly causing
trouble. Charges of conduct unbe
coming a soldier will piobably be
pref rred against the men, and
they will be court-martialed.
Private Essig’s death from tv
phoid fever yesterday resulted in
the arrest of Private Tosnsly, ol
the Reserve Ambulance Corps •
Tcwnslylsin the guardhouse to
awa? trial by court-martial for
going to sleep on duty and allow
ing the patient to wander abcut
the camp in delirium.
