Latest Instance of Hostility.

LONDON. April 20-Dispatches received
here from Durham, South Africa, show that
the Portuguese authorities are trying a high
hand in Mashonlad. The largest instance of
their hostility to British interests III that
district is likely 10 cause further tension
of the relations between the governments
of Great Britain and Portugal. There
are 4 number of British colOnistS who
have settled in Mashonlad, and the mails
destined to them are carried by way OF
Bcira, Il Portuguese settlement. a snort
time ago, upon the arrival Of the British
mail sacks, the Portuguese authorities
held them. refusing to allow them to be
carried to their destination. Great indig-
nation on the part OF the British colon
lists has been aroused by this high-handed
proceeding of the Portuguese.
Further details regarding the firing upon
the British steamer Agnes, which was en-
gagged in the expedition under the command
of Col Willoughby, and the seizure OF the
cargo boat engaged in the same service,
show that Col WiIloughby tried to secure
the release OF his vessel by the payment
of this usual custom duty of 8 per cent, i'm
posed by the Portuguese. The official who
commanded the force which seized the
boats refused TO accept this pay and ordered
the British flag hauled down and hoiSted
the Portuguese flag in its place. The Por-
tuGueSe declare that the British are eX-
Guided from Pungeve river, which the boats
were navigating when seized and which is
the chief water route to Aiashonlad.
Several of the British colonists have been
imprisoned and most of the British set
tiers have returned from Mashonlad on
account of the arbitrary action of the Por-
tuguese There is every evidence that
serious rupture is pending between the
Portuguese and the British governments.
A dispatch from South Africa says that
Col. Willoughby has reached Delgoa bay.
He reports that on arrival at Beira he APP
piled for permission TO proceed up the
Pungive river. and offered TO pay the pre-
scrioed duties, but rs he received
no answer after forty-eight hours
he started without permission
when the Portuguese opened fire
upon him, seized his two steamers with
mails and provisions and imprisoned six
teen of the crew. Col. Willoughby says
that the lives Of the British at Beira are
in great danger.
The explanation Of the seizure given at
Lisbon is that Col. Willoughby attempted
TO proceed to the river without paying the
duties.
The report of fight between the Brit
ish and Portuguese published to-day is be-
heved to refer to the seizure of the VIII
loughby expedition.

The negotiations were protracted unon

The same question N regard TO

Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX. April 20.-T'he murder
trial of John Common, alias Cha les Parker,
was called to-day and three witnesses have
been examined up 20 the close Of court this
evening, Marshal Blain, Charles Connors Of
Missouri and the newsbOy on the train.
Connors admits that he was to get half
the reward for the conviction of the ac
cused, and was asked and did copy the
letter in court. He wrote TO Blain inform
ing him of the whereabouts of Parker.
Connor claims that he was on the train,
and that Parker was the man he put of, and
VINO fired the shot.
1t was developed on the stand that the
witness was an ex-convict, and had borne Il
bad name. which will have its weight with
the jury, there can be no doubt, in favor OF
the prisoner.
The newsboy could not identify the
prisoner.
Marshal Blain had him in the calaboose
for being drunk some days before the kill
ing, and he was also here afterwards. The
opinion prevails that he can never be con-
victed upon the evidence thus far adduced.
