all that was generally known Of the
expedition until very recently, its move

. report Of Cmmandant Franaui, who
was left in charge Of the advanced
post. which vandkerchoven established,
the fact has been disclosed that num-

Commsndant Tranquil has made re-
port TO the administration Of the Congo
state, informing the authorities that the
dervishes are menacing his position and
urgently requesting that reinforcements
be sent him before it shall be too late.
On the strength Of this it is said that
King Leopold is projecting another ex-
petition, with the ostensible purpose Of
strengthening the outposts of the former
one. II is suspected in the foreign Of
foe. however, that, under an agree
ment with France, concluded in the
autumn Of 1894. King Leopold will CO.
operate with France in the establish

the English can secure q similar posi-
ton and accurately define their claims.
n. HAnOtaux, the French minister of
foreign affairs, demands that England,
as the first step in the pending negoti-
atoms shall define what are supposed
TO be the boundaries of her sphere Of
influence. This demand has acted as a
check to the policy Of the foreign Office.

suspected that England is afraid to do
either, lest the question of her occupa-

tage rests with France, and the strain
between the two governments, despite
these pacific words of NJ. Hanotaux,

since which time NO coinage has been

resumption Of coinage in 1859 and the
