THE SITUATION IN TuNIS.
France Awakening to Its Seriousness
Poor Military ManGuvres.

LONDON, Sept. Il. Paris correspondents
state that the public is becoming alive to the
nature of the situation in runis, the serious
ness of which is shown by the fact that the
measure ordered in the circular of the chief
of staff, directing that the strength of all bat
talions sent to Africa be 600, is estimated to
cost from $1,000. 600 to 80, 000. 900 of francs.
The Optimst (semi-official kilograms are
distrusted, even Republican journals express
ing distrust of Gen. Logerots ability to grasp
the situation. 1t is stated. besides, that he
is hampered by instructions from home. The
accounts of the operations are conflicting.
The correspondents state that the selection
of the route for the advance on kairwan via.
Zaghouan has led the French into a rough
and difficult country, where water is scarce.
whereas they might have found better
route if they had advanced from the direction
of Susa. Because of the difficulty concerning
water. Gen. Subatier's column. which is ad-
vancing to the aid of Zaghouan. was unable
to effect anything beyond an indeeisive skirm-
ish. The French loss is not heavy, and gen.
ererally they have a nominal advantage, but
have done nothing which will have any tend
ency to awe native resistance. Gen. Cor
reard. whose force was intended to cooper
ate with Subatier, was similarly unable to
make any progress.
