Eng gand's Latest War.

Another African difficulty" has Just
arisen. 1t is stated that King Coffee of
Ashantee has declared war" against
England. Whether that be so or not, he
seems to have taken long stride toward
the offensive. kilograms from Cape
Coast Castle report that his ''ambassa-
dor" demanded from the local British
authority the surrender of a refugee ma
tive chief, grandly notifying at the same
time that if the request were refused
1.-THE colonial government must take the
consequences" The governor, of course,
politely declined to crafty his sable mai
esty of Coomassie, who, if he keeps his
word, will forthwith make war. BY way
of psecaution the governor had placed
"a company OF Houssas, with three guns
at Prahsuie," and no doubt the west
coast squadron has, by this time, put
itself into position to render help, should
the bellieose monarch fulfill his
threat. The news is very disagree
able, not only in itself, but because
there are so many troubles, actual
or imminent, within the large sphere un-
der the control of Her Majesty's govern
ment. We are tempted to ask whether
King Coffee reads the newspapers, keeps
his eye on affairs in Europe and Asia as
we'll as Africa, and whether he has
chosen his time for "the great revanche?"
Perhaps he has heard of the Greek,
Boer, Irish, Afghan and Turkoman
questions, and hopes by striking in now
to compel the restoration of the famous
umbrella which adorns the South Ken
sington Museum. At any rate, his
audacity may be most vexations, should
it lead him to invade the colony. One
Ashantee war in a generation is more
than enough, and we may hope. for
everybody's sake, that means will be
found to restrain the African savage, and
avert the necessity for second edition
of the brilliant march to Coomassie.

great danger The trouble was that
among the population rumor had
spread that COIODel Prievalsky's errand
was to kidnap the Delaybama. the head
of the Buddhist religion. The natives
believed that the athletic Russian Colo
mel, with his dozen men, armed to the
teeth. was capable Of haZarding such an
attempt in the face of the several hun
dred thousands of Mongolians residing
in tine city. The appearance of thirteen
vangooly devils, as the Cinnamon call
all the Europeans, had caused panic IN
HLassa. The deputation humbly
offered to Mr.. Prjevalsky any reward he
wanted for complying with their request
The explorers thought it was more pru-
dent to return in safety than to risk
exciting the fanaticism of II superstitious
people.
The travellers returned the same way
they had come. Every road and every
passage swarmed with the treacherous
MOngolians; but the Berdans easily
cleared the way. Nevertheless the
journey was very hard. OF the thirty
five camels, twenty-four fell on the road.
The winter came on, and with it cold and
furious storms. AS usual, they had no
guide. Except flour, they had no pro-
vision left. The situation was critical.
Happily they met two Mongolians,
whom they forced TO save them by show
ing the way to the Blue river.
Crossing the river, they soon fell on
their former trail, and following it, they
reached the city of Simin, situated not
far from the Lake of Kuku-Noor. The
city authorities ut first refused to help
the explorers in searching for the origin
of Hoang-Ho, on the ground that several
Chinese expeditions had perished in that
attempt. TIE Governor declared also
that at the head of HOang-Ho were saw
age man.eaters. $50 much the better, "
| answered the Colonel; 1--WE should be
very glad to make acquaintance with
| such now rare people" The Governor
agreed to give guide.
Passing over ridge 10, 800 feet high,
| the travellers descended into the Valley
| OF the Yellow River. 1t was in March.
! Spring was III its full virginal beauty.
| Here they saw woods, which they had
not seen in a long time, since in Thibet
| there are no trees ut all. The rhubarb
grew i'll great quantity, and nobody
picked it. There were many birds with
brilliant plumage, especially hocks OF
blue pheasants. The region was fairly
populated, but everybody ran away at
the approach of the yangooly, and so the
country looked like a wilderness. Al
night were seen in all directions blazing
piles, warning the population of danger.
The exploration was soon brought to q
halt by horrible precipices sometimes
one thousand feet high, down which
tumbled the HOang-HO. These prec-
ipices, met in all directions, decided Mr.
Prjevalsky to give up the task of search
ing for the source of the stream. He re
turned to Sinin, whence by the way Of
Urga they reached Kiachta and entered
Siberia. The journey was performed il
two years. The collections of Col
Prjevalsky are detained in Siberia by the
heavy snow-storms.-lS st. Petersburg
