the Asiatio squadron, on the flagship

desultory skirmish took place, but no
resistance OF any moment.

John l. Waller, formerly United States
eontul at Tamatave, who was recently
TILED by court.martial aud sentenced to
twenty years im%prisonmon. on tho
charge OF having been a spy in tho In.
tcrcst OF tho Hovas.
A dispatch from Washington say, :
The removal Of ex.Consul Waller from
Madagascar to France Is an advantage
to Mr.. Waller aud this government.
While this action on tho part OF tho
French government will only add to tho
amount OF indemnity It will be called
Upon TO pay should Mr.. Walters irieuds
show that tho charge upon which hs
was sentenced Is baseless, It will s,ill

ly with United States Ambassador Eus.
It's, instead Of being obliged to adopt
tho tedious course Of acting through au
inferior consular officer In Madagascar,
out OF roach Of cable communication.
Mr.. Eustis has been instructed to pur.
sue tho matter to an end and make OK.
animation Of all tho facts attending the
punishment OF this American citizen.
Ito will also mako a special examination
into tho legality under treaty stipula.
lions OF the trial Of q citizen Of a friend
ly nation by court.mar,ial instead Of the
regular civil tribunals, as 10 customary
and perhaps absolutely essential. Moro
over. tho case may involve tho right Of
France to exercise jurisdiction over the
internal affairs OF Madagascar, from
which shG appears to have been express
ly excluded by the treaty Of 1885, which
gave her only Jurisdiction over the for
eign relations OF Madagascar. .
Tho charge against Waller IL that OF
being q spy in the interest of the Ho-
vas, against whom France had been
wasing war. The sentence was imposed
by a court-martial held at Tamatsve.
According to the story told by French
officials the French soldiers had deter
mined to make 4 descent on one Of the
largo Hovas towns. It was to be a de-
cisive stroke. The arrangements for
the move we're guarded with tho utmost
secrecy. In some way, however. Waller
learned OF the French movement, and is
said to have conveyed full information
to the Hova,. Tho latter quickly
armed the threatod town. so that when
the French soldiers appeared they were
moi by an effective resistance. Instead
OF taking the place by surprise, they
found everyone alert for the attack.
The alleged treachery was closely in.
v%estiea.ed, and, it is claimed. traced to
Waller. Aside from the chagrin to
which the French forces were put BY
having their plans miscarry, it Is said
to have seriously retarded the progress
OF the Freuch expedition in Madagascar.

the value to health OF tho pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

confined TO cash oil, Of which only $1,000
barrels were traded in, the last sale
being at 81 %.
Instead OF s. oil, which waa frequently
predicted during the past week, tho
