THE MILITARY POSITION IN TONQUIN.
LONDON. Oct 26.-The Standards Hong Kong cor
respondent says it is difficult to estimate the exact
military position of Tonquin. Two months
ogo the Chinese force on the Yunuan
frontier numbered 5000 all armed with modern
weapons. At Bac-nint, moreover, there were, at
least 700 Chinese troops. 1t very probable that
the French will soon succeed IN driving the Chaese
from TOnquin, but the reai cohhlSt connie
will only beg in when the frontier has been reached
Tonquin will be then another Acheen, but on an
Immensely larger scale. The only apparent solution
OF the difficulty is compromise OF French advance

ouire additional expense, he hoped that the tran
