FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
WAR WITH CHINA AND GERMANY.

LONDON, Nov. lS.-The Marquis Tseng
nounced the Tricou telegram lie. 1 have
accused Gerry of false pretense in using it.
1t is true the French ministry, after having
secured the vote, have admitted that the
dispatch was erroneous, but their explana-
tions are not sufficient, hence Ferry and I
can have no personal relations. You may
say, therefore, that the parleying between
the French government and myself, as Chi
nese ambassador. is suspended. If the
French attack either Sontag or Bacninh, es-
pecially the latter, China will accept either
attack as casus belli, aud will go into a
war against France. A French attack up
on Bacninh would be purely an act of in
vasion, due to mercenary motive. The
Bacninh district aboupds with rich gold
mines China will then be fully at war
with France. If the French attack Bacninh
will at once demand passports for myself
and the entire embassy, and we shall leave
France. The results of such war would
be disastrous. l regret that war is immi-
nent. A great majority of the Chinese peo-
pie desire war with France They believe
they are more than competent to fight
France. The progress of China in modern
military science recently has been really
great. No man can be popular to-day in
China unless he advocates war against
France"

Strange Find in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock. Nov. lS.-A farmer named
Meyers, while hunting, discovered a cave
in the mountain side, and on exploring the
same, came across the skeleton of man,
together with several silver coins The
latter had evidently been manufactured by
Spaniards, the date, appearance and inscrip-
tion indicating extreme antiquity. The re-
mains were. jim a wonderful state of preserva.
t,on. A belief is expressed that the cave
is in proximity to silver mines, which, ac-
cording to legend, exist in mountain fast
nesses, which were worked by the Span
iards, and afterwards closed SO effectually
that no trace of them could be found

The Business Outlook.

New YORK, Nov. l7.-Business shows
no improvement. The markets are dull,
and speculation is exceedingly tame. Gen
eral trade is nearer to cash basis There
will probably be no immediate recovery in
industry and trade, as we are now at the
threshold of winter. Though business is
rlther deranged, there is no real cause for
d;scoura oement

A BRUSH WITH THE NATIVES.

LONDON, Nov. l9-Advices from the
state that recently $50 English sailors were
sent up the Niger river to punish the ma
tives at different points on that river for
outrages committed upon explorers and
traders. After shelling the town of Abaha
at Ahad Delta they assembled to Egga, a
large town 800 miles from the mouth of the
river. Here they landed and were at once
ittacted by the natives. A fierce fight en-
and several wounded. The ATTACHING party
of natives was driven into the bush AMI the
sailors returned to the fleet.

WAR WITH GERMANY AND FRANCE.

WAX With EEhMANf AND FRANCE.
The diplomatic relations of France and
Germany remain pacific on the surface, but
a common social evaporation lies beneath
it, and is intense. 1t is known that the
French government made an offer to the
Berlin authorities to aid French detectives
to watch for the safety of the crown prince
while on his visit to Spain. The reply from
Berlin was that the question of the recer-
tion OF the prince concerned the Spanish
government. The prince, personally, has
refused to accept the protection even of
German detectives. Uneasiness about a
continuance of peace has passed into open
menaces of war. The tone of German jour.
mails has become absolutely savage. The
Koenische Zettung shouts out that since a
bloody struggle is inevitable the sooner it
takes place the better, and another news
paper declares that any insults in spain to
the crown prince under French instigation,
would popularize the idea of war. At the
same time military newspapers inform
Italy that she will have to take the often
s;ve in defense of her Germ IN ally, and
lecture her on the backward state of her
artillery.

EGYPTIAN EDWARDS.

EGYPTIAN EDWARDS.
CArRo, Nov. 49, Latest official accounts
of the fight at Toka state that the Egyp-
tains lost eleven officers and l42 men, be-
sides six Turks and several Greeks. They
also lost one gun, 300 rifles and $40 mus.
kets before they rega,ned their ship. The
Egyptians during the fight formed hollow
square When small number of the en-
emy locked their shields together and
rushed through the Egyptian line a panic
among the Egyptians resulted, 1t is doubt
full if black troops can be spared from Mas
sonah, whichis in the same critical position
sa Suakem. The British gunboat Ranger
has been ordered from Alden to Suskem.
PIRATES IN CHINA.
Hone KONG, Nov. 26.-Pirates are dis
playing great activity along the river banks
Junks and launches, are frequently fred
upon. Water communication with Ha MOI
is threatened. The pirates are badly armed
but are spreading terror among the villa
gers. Four villages have been destroyed in
the vicinity of Hal Phong. The military
authorities sre helpless, because the execu-
tive power is in the hands of civilians, who
have no adequate force beyond Incompetent
native police. Scattered bands of Chinese.
supposed to be Black Flags, have been OBJ
served in the vicinity of Hal Dzuong, and
the garrison there has been reinforced from
Hal Phong. Admiral Courbet intends to
mass his forces for united attack on
Bacninh. Spies report that 1000 reinforce.
ments were recently sent by night overland
to BacninhA The garrison at the latter
place numbers over 10000.
ATTACKED BY TRIcHINosIs.
BERLIN, Nov. 20.- Fifty persons in
