THE AMERICAN Colony IN AFRToA-A late dis
patch from Gov. Roberts, OF Liberia, has the fol-
lowing gratifying passage -
"That the influence of the colony is rapdly ex-
tending, the following facts will show. The kings
and chiefs of the en- re- Dey country, assembled IN
convention at Kin romley's town, on ST. Paul's
river, just about ne time of the session OF the
Council, to set a difficulties, disputes, &c. &c.
in that country and to make laws for their future
government. From this body the Governor and
Council received an invitation TO meet with them,
and assist their deliberations, declaring themselves
entirely under the control OF the laws OF the colo
n.y. About the same time / received communI-
cation from Balasada, Golah chief, requesting per-
mission to engage IN war with GogomiDa, OF Bopo-
70. Both these chiefs, sometime in 1910, entered
into a treaty with this government, agreeing to give
up the slave trade, TO their naive wars, and
TO refer all questions of dispute to the Governor OF
the colony for his decision. Balasada is at the head
OF very powerful tribe, and resides about eighty
miles from the colony in the interior. He COM
plains that Gogomna has killed six OF his boys cap
tured their way to the beach, and bsgs earnestly
to be permitted to commence war. In the minutes
of he Council yeu will find what disposition was
made OF this matter by that body. After the adj
journment OF the Council, Immediately dispatched
messengers 10 Ballasada informing him that would
visit his town in the course OF two or three weeks,
and would have the "palavar talk - and that I'M
der no consideration would he be permitted TO make
war until an effort had been made by me to settle
the difficulty lntlmatiDg at the same time, that we
would see that justice be done to the parties, and
that Gogomna should suffer the penalty, ii he had
killed his boys. This was also communicated to
Gogomina; when, yesterday, | received informa-
ton that the boys still alive, and had been re-
the colony, and had returned to their families and
friends. But for the colony, those six boys would
certainly have been killed, and the whole district OF
