PARIs. April 2O.-An official dispatch has
been received from Porto Novo stating
that King Benanzn Of Dahomey has written
letter TO the Governor Of Porto Noyo, in which he
says he has been informed that France has To-
solved upon declaring war against him.
The King declares that he Is quite pre-
pared for any move France may make, and
warns the French that II they touch any OF his
towns he Will destroy Porto Noyo and all the
French posts in the Blight OF Benin. The dis
patch adds that large bodies OF Dahomeyeans
have returned TO the left bank OF the river, and
are approaching Porto Noyo. In addition 70 these
forces. a large native force Is concentrated be-
tween Godomey and Abomey, the capital. IL King
Benanzin should decide 70 take the initiative
in opening the war, thore Is no question that tho
safety OF the French force would be seriously
threatened. The exact number OF the French ID
not known, az reinforcements have peen hurried
10 Porto Noyo from St. LOUIS, Senegal, built is not
believed to amount 10 mora than 1000 men.
Other reinfo c-ments viii be dispatched as
quickly as possible TO defsnd Porto Noyo,
hotonJu, Grand Popo, and Agoue, and as soon
as the French are IN sufficient force IL Is believed
an advance will 10 made upon Abcmey. King
Behauzin, IL is said. can place in the field lo,OUO
trained warriors, who are we'll yersed In war
fare, and II will be no easy task 10 conquer
them, for they are among the boldest and most
fearless of native fighters.
