MAKES A SEXSATIOXAL SPEEGH. Reference to Germany. Italy and England Places Oirn Country' Ih an Unenviable Position. BIZERTA. Tunis. Sept. 16. M. Pelletan, .French Minister of Marine, made a re markable speech at an entertainment pi the Municipality yesterday evening, which, it is expected, will cause the French For eign Minister, M. Delcaase. some trouble to explain. After pointing out the im portance of Blzerta as a bulwark of France, M. Pelletan proceeded:' "We do not say we want to make the Mediterranean a French lake. We have been cured of the dreams of the. great map who wished us to dominate the world. But part of the Mediterranean Is French and will remain French. With this pow erful rampart, so well situated for de fense and also for attack, and with Cor sica and Toulon, we can hold the open door between the two halves of the Medit erranean In spite of Malta and Gibraltar. Certainly I do n&t desire a conflict against England any more than against Italy, but as we do not know what others are doing, it is Dart of our duty to prepare for the holy, war of the French Fatherland against its enemies, whoever they may be. "I am convinced, thanks toy the fellow- workers' with whom I am surrounded, that we can face every eventuality. Security hardly exists any more for the civilized world. At the- end of the J5th century, after the defeat of France by the bar barism of old Germany, we saw an of fensive return of the law cf brute force. The whole world seemed to be dominated by the maxim. 'Might before right' We must then devote all our efforts to keep In tact that focus of Justice and light- French genius." M. Pelletan concluded with remarking that he would not say more at present. He had not yet been accustomed to being a Minister, and feared he might be car ried away into expressing his opinion of matters which concerned; tho Foreign Min ister. France has at Blzerta a powerful mili tary and naval stronghold which, -with Toulon on the north of the Mediterranean. French military and naval men assort that France's naval power in tho wc3t of the Mediterranean 4e unassailable, and all that Is required to consolidate the position of France Is the construction of the so-called canal of two sac6, which Is to unite the Mediterranean with the Bay of Biscay and thus render her' Independent of the Straits of Gibraltar. FRANCE 'DEPLORES INCIDENT. Minister Delcasce Protests to Pre mier Against the Sjieccli. PARIS, Sept 16, The needlessly offen sive allusions to Italy, Germany and Great Britain made by M. Pelletan. the Marine Minister, in a speech at Ajacfclo, Corsica, and yesterday at Blzerta, have caused much surprise here, and are gen erally deprecated. The only explanation offered by Frenchmen is that M. Pelletin has forgott'ti tn'at he Is now a Minister, and he has been cpeakiog as a Journalist The Foreign Mlnlatrr, M. Delcaase. Is said to have been extremely vexed at M. Pel letan's utterances at AJocClo, which are calculated to Irritate Italy at. a moment when the French Government had suc ceeded in dissipating the lil feeling which existed between . the two countries, and had established an era of friendly rela tions. M. Pelletan chose a very unfortu nate moment for his Ajacclo" remarks, a3 It coincides 'with the telegram of the Count of Turin to the French Embassador at Rome, paying homage to the French roldlera who fell at tho battle of Solr ferino. In the Italian cause. ;M. Pelletart's further blunder yesterday at Blrerta In using Insulting language re garding Germany and Great Britain has increased the Anhoyanco felt against him; and the French Foreign Office is visibly embarrassed to explain It away. An of ficial there this afternoon said: "M. Pelletan's remarks must be taken as strictly personal, and as In no way re flecting the general spirit df the French Government toward tho powers mentioned. He spOke In his capacity as Minister -ot Marine, and as treating of the defense of the -coastB. and not as the mouthpiece of France's foreign policy." It has been hinted that M. Delcasse has aiready protested to Premier Combes against M. Pelletan's Ajacclo speech.. It Is reported that the French Ambassador at Rcme will be Instructed to explain away M. Pelletan's Ajacclo utterances. The Courier du Solr cays; "It Is an open secret that M. Delcasse, the Minister of Foreign Affajrs, professes quite a contrary opinion, and one too much In conformity with the real situa tion and the true Interest of France to be changed. The majority of the Govern ment will certainly adopt M. Delcasse's opinion." Germany Treats Matter Lightly. BERLIN, Sept. 16. The German Foreign Office treats M. Pelletan's Bizerta speech lightly, and is disposed to attach no more Importance to It than to the" after-dinner Indiscretions of the French Minister of War, General Andre, a few weeks "ago, ol tthlch the German Government took no official notice. The correspondent of the Associated Press was informed at the Foreign Office" that as Germany had no po litical Interests In the basin of the Med iterranean, and as she never will have, what France Is doing there does not spe cially affect her. M. Pelletan's utterances, according to other official opinion, draws attention di rectly to French designs in the Mediter ranean. France, while Great Britain was engaged in South Africa, mddc Blzerta as strong as Malta, and France is now re garded as the strongest Mediterranean power. Great Britain has become aware of her relatively" lower position there and ot France's activity during the war, and, according to diplomatic Intelligence here, Great Britain Is again looking for -closer relations with Italy. M. Pelletan's reference to the "barbar ism of old Germany" Is treated by the newspapers here with ridicule rather than with Indignation. They adopt a Jocular tone In characterizing the French Min ister's utterances, which are attributed to a careless sense of his responsibility. The Deutsche Tagcs Zeltung calls It a ".cham pagne speech," while others point out that M. Pelb?tan was formerly a journal ist, with a reputation as a great phrase maker. CHING AGAIN ESCAPES DEATH. ' Notorious Chinese Rebel Leader Fools ExecHtioner n Second Time. VICTORIA, B C, Sept. 16. Oriental ad vices received todiy by the Empress of India state that a letter received from a thoroughly trustworthy Chinese corre spondent at Nannlng states that the re bellion is. entirely at an end. He con firms the previous Information that the rebellion was of the nature of isolated struggles between bands of bandits and outl jws against the Imperial troops, the rebels occasionally succeeding In cutUnjj up parties of the latter. General Ma, one of the ablest Chfnese officers In the south, was killed. Though tho rebellion, so called. Is at an end. a dlsuuletlnsr feature of the situation is that large quantities of up-to-date rifles are stll! Imported con stantly. The Chinese complain that they ire smuggled ver tho Tonkin frontier. Two or three hundred .rioters recently appeared In Shun Wl, north of Pefcln, and a panic prevails among the people. The roads communicating with Shun WI .are unsafe. The rioters have apparently some sort of uniform, their heads belns swathed in cotton cloth and bright scar-. let belts fastened around their "waists. Many people living in the suburbs of Pc- kin have taken shelter in the urban quar ters. Disturbances have occurred In many places west of Pckln. The town ot Tung-hua Hslan, northwest of NIu Chwang, Is reported to have been occupied by the brigand leader. LIu Tang Tsae, and TODO followers, making this their headquarters. They are said to be bus ily looting all the districts round. They keep a sharp lookout after both Russian and Chinese troops, and are well on the alert The Governor of Feng Tien Is re ported to have asked Russians for as sistance, which has been sent him. Some one coming from the district where Ching Ting Ping, the rebel leader in Chlhli. was said to have been executed tho other day, states that this Is not the case, and that Ching is still at large. Twice has Ching been officially decapi tated. The Boxers are still active in Changte, and increasingly so. The local foreign officer reports the district to be In great' disorder. Several places here have been attacked, several others burned down and a number of Christian Inquirers and others, who resisted, killed. A colporteur of the British and Foreign Bible Society was killed In that district, and there are rumors, not yet confirmed, but believed to be reliable, that two others have suffered the same fate. The latest news from NortlfSlam makes certain that trouble Is brewing at Phre, where 30 armed Nglus arrived without passports. Tho gendarmes demanded their passports, and they replied that they.had weapons but no papers. A free fight then ensued. In which the gendarmes and their assailants bcth suffered severe ly. The Nglus finally bolted. Thf next day 200 Nglus arrived, and killed the Commissioner of Gendarmes, the Finance Commissioner, and the wife, chldren, mother and father-in-law of the latter. The Siamese Judges of Phre are said to have been murdered and cut in three pieces and the town Is now held by the Nglus. A gentleman who recently visited Nlu Chwang says the Russians arc making all preparations for their retirement from Manchuria at an early day, and ex pressed the belief that they will do so. At tho same time, he admits that they are not likely to give up somo of the places on which they have spent consid erable sums, such as Nlu Chwang and Tallen Bay, nor to retire without some sort of equivalent for what they sup posed they had acquired, nor evert then to make an absolute relinquishment of thftlr '.-lalms Upon that country. News conies frcm Corca that a sailing ship manned by Makajlma and a few other Japanese residents of Mokpo re cently encountered a pnrty of pirates near that port, and all the articles on board were plundered. Upon receiving this news the Japanese warship Tsukushl left Fusan for Mokpo In search of the thieves. The steamer Hlgo Maru, which was sent by the Japanese Government to the scene of the recnt rruptlon at Torlshma, has returned to Yokohama. According to news brought by the steamer, the landing was affected wltn considerable difficulty. The eruption hod wrought a complete transformation Of the Island, and all tho Inhabitants and animals had disappeared, and no indication was left as to what had become of them. The highest of tho three peaks on the Island, known an Kompchl yama, had beeh blotted out of existence and a crater had been formed partly In the place where the peak stood. The crater Js still "sending forth a thick smoke of sulphur, with awful subterranean rum blingK. A considerable depression was noticeable at tho spot where the dwelling of the inhabitants had stood prior to the eruption. All the Island was strewn with ashes, gravel and boulders, and only about a fourth part of the normal Island vege tation remained In existence. JAPAX SELLS BONDS.
