A BLOODY BATTLE
Two Hundred Of King Dahomey's
Troops Killed by the
French Army.
The Kings Women Warriors
Fought Ferociously, but
Were Worsted.
They Only Retreated When Their
Force Had Been Greatly Re-
duced by the Great
Slaughter.

PARIS, April 25.-The French army
in Dahomey engaged the native forces
in a battle nea Pcto Novo several days
ago, and defeated them with terrible
slaughter. Two hundred Of the Daho-
mans are reported 10 have been killed
and a large number wounded, but it is
believed mere that many more Of the
natives persisted. Fifty of the French
soldiers are said to have been injured
during the fight, but SO far as known
not one was killed. The French garri-
son had been warned Of the approach
Of the native army and marched out TO
meet the enemy. The Dahomian army
was met a short distance from Porto
Novo and Immediately attacked by the
French, who routed the natives after a
fierce battle, which lasted two hours.
The French were outnumbered, but
their improved firearms moved down
the enemy with terrible rapidity. The
Dahomans fought like mad men, and re-
treated only when their force had been
so decimated that they were unable 10
continue the battle.
New YORK, April 25.-All the news
from the slave coast indicates that the
young king of Dahomey and his army
are waging a desperate war against
France. In about every battle thus far
they have taken the offensive, and have
ever left Dahomey to attack their en-
envy in the French protectorate of Porto
Novo. The losses of the king thus far
in the war amount to about 1900 SOL
diers, or nearly one-fifth of his regular
army. One-half of the army is com
posed of m All subjects are liable
to military duty, and the king can prob
ably place 1900 TO co. 900 soldiers in
the field, a large part of whom, how.
ever, would be very poorly equipped.
The kings women warriors are appar-
emily bearing their full share Of the
fighting, and quite a number of them
are reported killed, and the French
have beheaded five OF them in ~retalia-
ton for the killing of French prisoners
in the hands OF the natives. Burton
says the women are ferocious fighters.
that they understand the use of the
musket, load n fire rapidly and are by
NJ ear enemies to be laughed at.
Skertchly says the female soldiers know
no fear, but he has not a high opinion
Of their craftsmanship.
Each of the Amazon troupes had its
own uniform, which differ in color
more than in the style of garments.
The troops which act as the kings body
guard dresses in the tunics with gray
skirts reaching to the knee. They have
waist belts and shoulder cross straps
and black leather cartridge boxes. The
troops known as the elephant wear
brown waistcoats. They are all we'll
trained in a sort of savage drill, includ-
ing an ~ungracefuI dance, which is not
admirable except for the fact that every
movement is carried out in almost per-
feet unison. One explorer writes OF
them that their gymnastic drill makes
them as strong as oxen, and hat they
are very free in their manner, and walk
with a swagger. Another says that
many of them are young and cookbook

A Knotty Question.

WASHINGTON, April 25.--The treasury
department has about decided to appeal
from the decision Of the jury which a
few days ago in a New York court rem
dered a verdict against the government
for some 81, 500 which had been paid
under protest on account Of an alleged
classification of goods. The
sum itself is hardly worth fighting
about, but the Importance of the case
rests in the fact that over fifty import
ers now threaten similar suits, the total
Of which may run into the millions.
The question at issue is whether certain
cloths which were classed by Collector
Magone as ''woolen fabrics" should not
be admitted at a much lower rate of
duty as ''worsted cloths" The collect
or's classification was sustained by the
secretary of the treasury, but it took a
jury just eight minutes to determine
that both were wrong and that the goods
were worsteds. The supreme court will
now be called uoon to settle the knotty
question.

Senator Farwen Quite Sick.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Although he
manages to make occasional appearance
in the senate, especially when matters
OF Importance to Illinois interests are
under weight 1t is known to his intimate
friends hat Senator Charles B. Farwell
OF Chicago, is a very sick man, and that
it is only his strong will and his desire
TO attend as much as possible to the in
terests of his constituents that kept
him here during the present session.
He is often unable to leave his residence
for days at a time and the day after tn o
demise of Mr.. Randall the correspond
dents were sent scampering to the resi-
dence Of the Illinois senator by a report
that he was in a precarious condition.
He has already announced hat he will
not be a candidate for another term,
and the present will be his last season
in Washington.

COME TO CALVARY
An Address Issued to the Irish
by the Cronin Com
mittee.
They Are Urged to Honor the
Memory of Patrick Henry
Cronin.
May 4 the Anniversary of the Most
Atrocious and Cold Blooded
Crime Ever Committed
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 26.-Every worshiper
at each of the services held in all the
Catholic churches Of the city tomorrow
will be presented with a copy of an ad-
dress issued by the Cronin committee.
1t will read as follows:
Friends and Fellow Citizens: Come
TO Central Music hall May 3. Come to
Calvary cemetery May 4. Your charac-
ter, the honor of your race and the in
terests of the Irish national cause are at
stake. You can best vindicate all three
by h~onoring the memory of a man
who lost his life in their defense and
who sealed his devotion with his blood.
The night of May 4, 1850, Patrick Henry
Cronin was foully murdered in the Carl
son cottage by misguided members of
his W race instigated by the worst
enemies the Irish cause has ever en-
countered for more than a century.
The name of that sacred cause was
prostituted by political bandits so that
their dishonesty and treachery might
be covered up by the false outcry that
the mar who would expose their crime
was a British spy.
His body, still bearing the emblems
OF his religious faith, was flung into a
sewer. Confident that its loathsomc
surroundings would insure speedy de-
composition, the miscreants who
planned the murder then set to work to
blast their victims character by a sys-
tenn of diabolical lying unparalleled in
modern history, The providential dis
covery Of the body, and its complete
Identification by hundreds of frlpnda
eighteen days later, and the subsequent
recovery of the murdered mans clothes
and surgical instruments, served to
partially Illustrate this monstrous con-
spiracy. But it still lives and plots
against the law Of the land, and against
your good name and dearest interests.
The real murdererS Of DR.. Cronin are
still at large, and their crime still cries
TO heaven for vengeance"
The address concludes by saying that
On the anniversary of the most atrocious
and coldblooded crime ever committed
in this community the remains of DR..
Cronin will be taken from the vault and
placed in the grave that has been Sc
lected as its final resting place. Appro-
pirate religious services will mark the
event. On the evening before there
will be a mass meeting at Central Music
hall, where the true story of the facts
of his life and Of the conspiracy that
comprised his death will be told. Sew
eral Catholic priests of national reputa.
tion will be among the speakers.

Another Leyee Breaks.

New ORLEANS, April 25.-United
States Engineer Douglas telegraphs that
he Point Pleasant levee, Tensas parish,
gave way this morning. The water will,
no doubt, overflow a greater part OF the
parish.
Captain John A. Grant, superinten-
dent of the Texas and Pacific railroad,
speaking Of the Morganza crevasse, says:
This is one of the worst calamities
that could have befallen the residents
Of this state, and yet it could have boon
avoided if the people had only made An
effort. They are to blame for IL. Now
they are creating q big hubbub about
sending relief up there and all that sort
Of thing, while before the disaster oc-
turred they seemed utterly unaware
Of the impending danger. If need be,
they should have raised $500, 600 to hold
that levee, and ii could have been done,
too, and have been we'll invested, as
there is SEQ, 600, 600 worth OF property
that will now be irretrievably damaged,
which a little display Of energy would
certainly have averted."
The break in the old Morganzs is now
400 feet wide and fifteen feet deep. A
cargo of stone has been sent from this
city and an effort will be made TO mat
tress the ends and thus prevent destruc-
ton. The overflow water from the
lake, which has caused much inconven-
fence to the people in the rear of the
Seventh and Eighth wards in this city
since Sunday last, is gradually receding.
IL is reported at the Texas and Pacific
Office that the water is gradually over,
flowing their tracks between Baton
Rouge junction and Melville. The
Louisville, New Orleans aud Texas rail
road, better known as the Mississippi
Valley road has been a great sufferer so
far by the overflow. The other rail-
roads have not been affected to any
great extent.

man of letters, who was banished some
months ago for writing a warning letter

Caucasus under strict military surveil-
lance and otherwise we'll treated. She
was taken to this place, a distance of
several thousand miles, in a vehicle
resembling an English prison a with

was marked by great privation, and
would have killed a less hardy woman.

and is represented to be in good health
