A Battle With Monkeys.

A correspondent OF the Boston
Commercial Bulletin gives the follow.
ing graphic account OF fight with
monkeys: A vessel was anchored
off Columbo, on the southwestern
side of the island on Sunday the men
asked permission to take the boat
and 60 On shore, and their request
was granted, the captain sending the
second mate with them "to look after
things" They pulled around into
a little inlet below the city and land
ed For wonder they did not care
about visiting the town, but prefers
red stroll in the woods, which up-
on this morning appeared to be ems
tirely deserted.
About quarter of a mile from
where they left the boat one of the
party spied a very young monkey
lying at the foot OF a tree. This was
too much OF prize for Jack to pass
by.
Though warned by tie second
mate not to disturb the infant pros
tege of Darwin, they seized the little
fellow and essaYed to bear him off in
triumph.
Hereupon young Jocko emitted a
series of yelis that caused the forest
in the midst of which they We're

around. If the sailors thought them.
selves to be the only occupants OF
wood they were speedily undeceived,
for scarcely a moment had elapsed
since the utterance OF the first cry by
their little prisoner before every tree
swarmed with indignant members OF
the monkex rtrihe, Theu rees -les9s
the branches over the heads of the
wapton disturbers of their peace,
chattering and screaming and only
waiting an opportunity to wreak sum
mary vengeance upon the Hidnapers.
An order from the officer to make
for the boat" was promptly obeyed.
When the monkeys saw their enemy
on full retreat they formed in a
solid body and followed hurriedly in
their wake. Sticks, stones, and every
available missile was hurled furiously
at the heads of the flying sailors. In
vain did they drop their prize, hop
ing that it might pacify their enrag-
ed pursuers. 1t was not so only one
dropped out of the ranks, to gather
up in its hairy embrace the unoffend
ing object of the tray; while the
others rushed on more franticallN
than ever.
Reaching the boat, they had MOI
time to jump in, but showed her of
from the shore, clinging to the gun
wales and crawling in only wher
some distance had been placed be-
tween them and their implacabl'
foe
When they had arrived at a SAT;
place to lay they rested Oh their oar
and curiouslv scanned the infurialet
army on the beach. There appeared
to be thousands of them, running VI
and down, in wild confusion, and hur
ling stones far out into the water il
the direction of the boat.
Nor did the sailors get off "sco

France and England must either SEM tner
own troops to Egypt to restore order, or tney
must call upon the Sultan to act as their mill

French and British Parliaments leave no room
for doubt that the latter course has been de-
cided upon. NJ. de Freycinet's repugnance to
military intervention was so apparent thae he
exposed himself to NJ. Gambetta's contemptu-

MR. COMBINES FRIENDS.

We are pleased to notice that Mr.. Conkling
and his friends are careful readers OF lie
TRIBUNE suggestion which we made to
them on Wednesday has been acted upon with
commendable promptness. In summing up the
controversy between him and certain OF his
Stalwart critics, we remarked that the main
point unsettled was that of advice. Mr. COnk-
ling said he had gone to Albany to seek re-
election very reluctantly, and after advice
of friends. General Sharpe questioned the
accuracy of this statement, and asked Mr..
Conkling to name the friends. This seemed TO
be a proper question, and we said so frankly,
suggesting that if Mr.. Conkling were too mag
unanimous to disclose the names the friends
ought to do it for him. They did this yester-
day in The Herald in a series of luminous let
tiers to Mr.. Conkling, which that majestic per-
son himself offered for publication.
The letters are seven in number and are
signed bv Senator John =. Jones, OF Ne
yada, John T. Smyth. Il. G. Platt, Louis
F. Pawn, C. NJ. Dennson, A. B. Johnson, and
Police Commissioner S. Il. French. They are
all similar in tone. and all agree that confer
ence between themselves, General Sharpe, vice
President Arthur and Mr.. COnkling was held at
Mr.. Arthurs house in this city on Sunday. May
%. to consider the question of Mr.. Conkling
going to Albany that everybody present, save
Mr.. Conkling, strongly urged him to 90, and
| that General Sharpe exceeded all others present
| in his zeal for the proposal. President Arthur
| does not appear by letter with the others, but
they all declare that the conference was
| unanimous. so that share of the response
bility for the very bad advice given falls
upon him. Mr.. Plat does not say as much,
| Int we infer that when he advised Mr.. Conk-
| ling to go he added and "me too" Mr.. A. b.
Johnson's letter is surcharged with what we
presume he considers virtuous indignation. He
SAYS he has " seen with great chagrin and dis
gust but without surprise, the astounding lies
(which appear from the newspapers to have
" originated with Mr.. Sharpe" There
is a whole-heartedness about that which
shows that there is nothing luke
warm about Mr.. Johnson's Stalwartism.
1t is in order now to hear from General
| Sharpe The array of testimony against him Is
very strong, and it is not easy to see how he
is going to overcome it. The controversy is
very interesting as it stands, and we are con-
| fdent that the end is not yet. General Sharpe
| is good fighter, and undoubtedly went into
| this encounter prepared to defend himself.
Whether he come out of it beaten or tri-
| umphant, he has not fought in vain. He has
succeeded in bringing to light the names of
| the friends who counselled Mr.. Conkling TO do
what was, next to his resignation, the most
astounding act of his life, namely, 90 to AL
| bany and fight for vindicatiOn. Worse adj
wee than that no man ever received.
