PARIS. Oct. 1.-The official news OF
the capture by General Duchesne OF An.
tannnarivo, the capital Of Madagascar,
has caused great satisfaction throughout
France especially at Marselles favre
and Lyons, where all the public buildings
and large numbers OF private houses have
been decorated with flags and bunting.
The minister Of war, General Zurlinden,
has received dispatch from Moiangn.
Madagascar confirming the nows received
by way Of Port LoUs, Mauritius on Tues
day, of the capture Of AntRnanarivo, the
Hova capital OF Madagascar, by the
French expedition under General Du
chesne. The official dispatch says that An
tananarivo wns occupied on Sept. 80 after
a brilliant action.
Peace negotiations with the Hovas were
opened the next day and were successfully
concluded the same evening, terms being
agreed upon subject TO the ratification OF
the French government. General Metz.
niger tho second I'm command OF the
French forces was appointed governor OF
Antananarlyo.
The protcc.orate over Madagascar will
be exceedingly like annexation. Premier

queen, and all the military and political
chiefs OF his party Will probably he ban
