FRENCH MACMAHONS OF IRISH ANCESTRY
Col Patrice de MacMahon newly appointed to command the Thirty-fifth infantry at Belfort is the son of Marshal de MacMahon. He inherits the family estates and the dukedom of Magenta, though likely not until he becomes a general. His quiet life in Havre contrasts with his ambitious brothers Emmanuel and Eugene, both soldiers with active service in Madagascar and Tonkin. The MacMahons’ Irish origins trace to Sir Reginald Fitsurse, with ties to the Counts of Castries and the House of Fitzurse in Normandy.

Hannis Taylor argues in a July Washington letter that the Hay Pauncefote treaty could be voidable if territorial sovereignty changes alter the conditions under which it was made. He cites international law and Insular Cases to claim Art IV may be unconstitutional if it allows U.S. sovereignty loss or foreign control by treaty alone.
