ACCORDING to our London cable dis
patch, says the New York Tribune, Europe
is again a prey to strife and suspicion.
England is angry with France, because of
her political craft and protectionist policy
Italy is also enraged with her Gallo neigh
Dor, whose speedy conquest of Tunis has
taken her by surprise. In the East there
are also elements of disturbance. Despite
the safeguards of the Berlin treaty, Bull
garia has become practically Russian
province, with almost unlimited capacity |
for intrigue and contention. In Athens,
where anything bad is credited regarding |
Turkey, it is stated that the German
Powers have urged the Porte to retard
| her settlemen with Greece in order that
they may be at liberty to play another
game of spoilation The value of such
| surmises must be tested soon. The Brit
ish Government if sincere in its determin-
alton to have the Greek settlement carried
into effect self-interest will compel it to
keep the Powers to their bargain, and to
unmask them if they show any dangerous
designs. Europe cannot afford to have
the Dulcigno affair with all its risks re-
peated on larger scale.
TIE French war on Tunis has practi-
cally terminated by the submission Of the
Bey and the signing of treaty giving
France the right to occupy such stragetic
positions on the runisian frontier as may
overawe the frontier tribes and secure
peace along the adjacent coast. The
Kroumirs. from whose warlike reputation
great resistance was expected, did not
make much Of fight after all. There
was no pitched battle What fighting
, there was resembled guerrilla warfare,
and was altogether desultory and inefec-
tive. The strategy of the French COM
, mander was admirable. His troops moved
, upon the faStness occupied by the Krou-
| Mrs in three columns, and as completely
: surrounded them as the rugged and
I broken nature of the country would admit.
Pressed on all sides by overwhelming
Numbers, they preferred submission to
: slaughter. A fourth column advanced on
= Tunis. and the Bey, who had vainly
sought protection from Turkey and the
European powers, having no means OF et'
: fectual resistance and fearing the Occupa-
u ton Of Tunis itself, accedcd to the French
s demand with haste that indicated the
). intensity of his fears In point of fact
s the treaty establishes French protector
e ate over runis While guaranteeing the
e Bey "sccurity of person, State anC
u dynasty" and the maintenance of actually
u existing treaties, no future treaties are tt
e be made by the Bey without the consen
&c of France. French diplomatic agent
y abroad are hereafter to be charged witt
IS the protection of Tunisian interests, ant
S the runisian system Of finance is to b
e. regulated by France. In brief, the Be
W of Tunis is to retain the shadow OF author
g ity, but all real power over the affairs {
re the regency is vested by the treaty
y France.
