Bey.

LONDON, May THE Pail Mall Gazette, in
an article headed dropping the Mask"
comments on NJ. Barthelmy st. Hilaire's
statement Yesterday that the impending con-
hict with the Kroumirs would end the
military part of the Tunis difficulty, which
would be succeeded by diplomatic action,
and that France was bound to protect her
interests by imposing substantial condi-
tlons on the Bey, and on Earl Granville's
statement that NJ. Hilaire's had
requested Lord Lyons to assure his govern
ment that France had no idea of the con-
quest or annexation of Tunis, the Pail
Mall Gazette says: "No moral, high-minded
nation annexes nova days, and protecto-
rate implies responsibilities; but France will
exact guarantees which, without including
her In reciprocal obligations, will differ
from annexation as much as four half
crowns differ from half sovereign"
TUNIs, May 8.-General Logerot has visi.
ted General Forgemot's headquarters, hence
1t Is inferred that General Logerot's ad-
vance has encountered little, If any. re-
sistance. His column has reached Ferra-
nintz in the Mersole district.
Gen. Braisme's column has arrived at Sioux
Elarba. Eight thousand French troops have
oeen landed at Biserta. The commander has
forbidden for the time being all export
trade from Biserta
The Bev received on Friday a telegram
from the Sultan saying that the Tunisian
question was occupying the attention of the
powers, and that France had given very ex-
pltcit assurances regarding the limitation of
her operations, and especially with refer
ence to the occupation of Biserta. In the
face of these assurances 1t is considered i'm
probable that the Bey has conceded the de-
mands of France.
