THE WARM DAHOMEY
French Attacking the Natives
by Land and Sea.
REBEL VICTORY IN MOROCCO
The Queen Summons Gladstone to Form
Cabinet-India Protects Against
Free Silver.

PARIS, Aug. 10-The French forces began hos
tilitles against the Dahomeyans ye.teEiay.
Every point on the coast held by the Daho:ney
ans. including Wydah, was bombarded Ahamey
and kotonu were also bombarded An cxYedi-
ton by land will start from Porto NovO. The
troops now in Africa and acclimated Will be
used for the expedition, and other troops will
be sent to Senegal to replace those whe are
called away. The French troops will be in
structed to give quarter only if it is given by
the enemy, and to exact severe rctribution for
any outrages committed on subjects of France
1t is expected that some OF the native tribes
upon whom the Dahomeyans are continually
making raids in order to obtain victims will
readily join in fighting their oppressors.
Later advices from Kotonu are to the effect
that French soldiers are burning villages. The
French loss was two killed and ten wounded.
The Dahomeyans suffered heavily.
1.-THE cause of the present troubles in nut
she'll is that in spite OF his prOsestatiOna OF
friendship made as late as March last, Eing
Behanzin has been raiding for slaves among the
border towns of Porto Novo, region near the
sea, which is under French protection. He.has
DESTROYED five large towns aud many villages in
that district and has hunted slaves wit1iin
thirty miles Of Kotonu He wanted these slaves
psrtly for his annual sacrifices, when he butch
ers large number of prisoners, and partly to
sell. OF course the French have cut off the
pension which was voted to him after the gar
OF 1880 to induce him to keep the peace.1

the construction of the south Bend -Chehalis
branch of the Northern Pacific; Nathan Gallop,
supervising manager for Griggs & Heustis; John
Kelso, OF Webster, Kelso d Dare, the sub-con-
tractors who are constructing the line; w. C.
Marion, experimenting engineer for the North
ern Pacific, and A. G. Foster, vice president OF
the st. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company,
were in the city several days ago. having come
by rail- to the end of the track and thence by
stage and boat to South Bend. Colonel Griggs
expressed himself as highly pleased with the
progress being made on the road except the
bridge work, especially the draw bridge at South
Fork, which was not being built fast enough,
and he had come over to hurry up that part of
the work. He expressed the opinion that the
track would be laid and locomotives reach
South Bend by October 15
Contractor Keso, who has the active super
vision of the construction of the line, said that
the grading would be completed past the sum-
nit and as far as the big cut two miles this side
OF that point by next week: that the big cut
itself aud the four smaller cuts this side would
be through and finished about September l.
The channel change, which is being made in the
Willapa river to avoid the building of an extra
bridge, will be finished about the same time
On this work but few men can be employed. as
the cut is narrow and 1t is all blasting work,
There are 10000 yards of earth to be moved,
and it Ia being done at the rate of 1000 yards
daily. Three hundred and thirty teams of mules
and horses are 1T WORK. According to Mr.. Kelso
all the grading will be finished aud the track
laid by October Is, or at the latest, November l.
machine trackiayer will be used on this side
OF the summit, which can lay at the rate of a
mile and a half per day. OF the thirty three and
three-fOurths miles between South Bend and
the present end of tho track thirty miles can be
said to be graded and ready for the rails. The
track so far laid is on roadbed as well ballasted
as the main line, but from now on the rails will
be laid aud the road ballasted afterward. The
only possible cause of delay now IL the bridge
work at the south Fork.

NOT GOING ON TO OKANOGAN.
Monte Cristo Road will Stop 1T the
Mining Camp.

In reference to the report that the Everett &
Monte Cristo Railroad Company intended to ex-
tend its line across the mountains into the
Okanogan country, one of the promoters of the
road said yesterday:
"rhc reportof an intended extension of the
road has absolutely no foundation in fact. The
road will be completed to the Monte Cristo
mines by November /, and will there stop. No
further extension has ever been contemplated.
The road is being constructed solely for the de-
velopment of the Monte Cristo mining camp
and any rumors to the contrary are false"
