AFRICAN MASSACRE.
A French Commander and Seventy
Eight of His Force Killed.

Advices from st. Louis, Senegal, Africa,
say that dispatches bearing date OF January
7 have reachedthere from Timbuctoo. These
dispatches say that Colonel BONNER, OF the
Marine Artillery who was in command OF the
French troops which had captured Timbuc-
too, had, with nine European commissioned
officers and two European sergeants, Sixty
one native sharp-shooters and six native SER
eeants, been killed by the Tuaregs.
When the dispatches left Tlmbuctoo the
city was surrounded by Tuaregs, who ap-
peared here and disappeared there, making
it impossible to form any accurate estimate
as to their number.
A late dispatch from st. Louis says that
Colonel BONNER left Timbuctoo on January
10Th. On the night OF January 18th he and
his column, while asleep, were surprised and
surrounded by Tuaregs. Only Captain
Nigotte reached the camp OF the detach-
ment, which, under Lieutenant Sarda, was
guarding the captured herds few miles IN
the rear. Captain Nigotte was wounded IN
the head. A few native riflemen saved them
selves by flight from the general massacre,
and most ofthese have arrived at Timbuctoo;;
The Tuaregs were on foot, and were armed
with lances and knives. The French Govern.
ment has authorized the formation OF
another battalion OF Soudanese rihemen,
which will be the fourth body OF its kind.
The mixed populace of Timbuctoo regard
the French force with varied feelings. Many
are said to favor the occupation
The Secretary OF the Colonial Department
received telegram from st. Louis saying
that Colonial BONNER, eleven other ofhcers
and $50 privates had been massacred by
the TuaregS.
