treaty with pretended good viii he was assured
protection, ana the advancing French troops
were halted. With the double-dealng that has
marked the history OF the Bey OF Tunts and all
OF his Kind, the latter sent a telegram to the
Porte protesting that he had been overwhelmao,
by force and by threats compelled to sign the
treaty. Immediately upon this telegram being

that tie promises Of the Bey did not protect

determined TO take that matter In hand with a
vigorous policy. European nations may dislike
the French Tunisisn policy, but they will be
