ANlAxONS Nv BATTLE.
\ Great Battle In AfIica--Defcat
OF the King Of Dahomcy
Troops by the Egbas.

The English papers received by the Asia
contain accounts of u sanguinary battle in
Africa between the troops of the King of
Dahumey and the tribe OF the Egbas. The
Dahumiun Anazons fought bravely, but the
Egbas won the victory. 1t is related In the
description of the fight that the King of
Dahomey marched in person on the 10Th OF
March at the head of ten thousand troops
(ulale aud fcmale), and on the 10th attacked
the Egbas in their fortified town of Abbeo-
kuta--a place CT two hundred thousand in
habitants. The King had three biass field
six pounder pieces, bearing the inscription
upon the hrrech Of Mexico, 1915" He
advanced till within fifty yards of the wall
Of Abbcokuta. then suddenly displayed his
flags, extended his lines and marched rapid
ly towards the wall The Egbas inmedi-
atelv opened Il tremendous ire on the lines.
and arrested them at once. In the udvanc-
ing columns were Amazons, who fought
bravely snd desperately. Many Of these
furies climbed the wall. which IS more than
fifteen feet high; but, so soon as they reach
ed the top, the Egbas dragged them over
and slew them. One Amazon, who had one
of her hands cut off in her efforts to Chamber
over the wall, discharged her musket with
the other hand and shot an Egba. She re-
ceived = severe bloS from sabre, and fell
backwards into the trench. The Dahomi-
aus were utterly defeated. They lost up
wards Of ope thousand in killed, and the
number Of prisoners is said to exceed two
thousand The Dahomians fed in two di-
visions. In front of the division which took
first to flight was the doughty hing himself.
The EgUas pursued both divisions and
slaughtered the tugitives without mercy and
without pause. Seeing the discontinue
of the king, the inhabitants Of the ncighbor-
ing crooms turned out and Joined heartily
in the general massacre. OF his three field
pieces, the king had tue misfortune to leave
two in the keeping of the Eghas.
Another account says of the fighting Of
the Amazons:
Some of the desperate Amazous rushed
to the wall ton the part defended by the
Christian converts and the people OF licum)
with feyncious resolution, plunging into the
trench and endeavOrinG IL scale the wall,
Others attempting to enter the town hy the
eXcavati )ns under the wall; they were shot
in tue trench or cut down III their mad at
tempt To scale the wall. Some Amazons
gave the defenders little annoyance, for
when in the trench they threw large stones
over the wall on the Eghas, and snatched
away about six musketS from the hands OF
tile Eybas in the act Of the firing; by an
equal determination on the part of the Eg-
has they were killed. No fewer than seven
ty-two dead Duhomians were counted after
wards from the trench at this point On
the O~u side of the walls three terOcious
Amazoni actually planted their banners
along the wall, but were instantly cut down,
their heads and hands stuck on poles and
exhibited over the wall with general shout
of victory from the Eghas."

tY- The change in the running Of the passenger

gives our shsnokin friends groat satisfaction, and
enables them 10 oeme To aunbury In the nornins and

which compelled cur ehnnotin friends to remain

more business ai sunbury. than sunbsry people have
at shsmokin, 1t is perhaps more than right they
should have the day. The train IL now regular

bury and Shamokn. In one hour and ten minutes.
Those Of our ctsons, who prefer going out to Sha.
