FRENCH OFFICERS BEHEADED.
Among the Victims of the Strategy Of an
African King.


LONDON, May GA dispatch from
Sierra Leone says: "a messenger from
the interior reports that King Samadou,
as a piece of strategy, allowed the
French to capture three native towns
and afterward recaptured two OF them,
the French losing heavily in the en-
gagementS. The messenger says he
saw 81 French prisoners and Sene-
gal natives, and the heads OF four
French officers, in King Samadou's
camp. King Samadou commands 10000
warriors, 5000 of whom are armed with
chassepots. The Kings soldiers are ac-
customed to the country, in which the
French find 1t difficult to travel and
procure supplies"
Advices in regard TO the warfare
which has been carried on between
King Behanzin OF Dahomey, in the
Blight OF Benin settlements, and the
French authorities at that place. are
received here from Lagos, British
colony Of West Africa, on the Slave
Coast. From these dispatches it Is
learned that the French expedition
in Dahomey is concentrating at
Kotonou, near which place the Daho-
meyan warriors recently built intrench-
ments, and which was threatened with
an attack by the native fighters. Reln-
forcements have been arriving at the
garrison at Kotonou lately and the
French force now there is estimated to
be 3 1000 strong. This force is greatly
strengthened by gunboat which ar
rived at Kotonou a couple Of weeks ago.
The expedition will start on the thir-
tieth instant To commence active opera
tions against King Behanzin and en-
deavor to bring him to terms.

heard that he (Ochiltree) had threat
ened to spit in his face aud he had come

he was in honor bound not to divulge
his name because his opponent was con
nected with the French diplomatic ser
vice. Milbank said: II am not sure oi
