KING MENELIK IL

The Italian Pessians on the Red sea
were combined under the name Erythrea
by various decrees from 1890 TO 1892. The
colony extends from Cape kasar, about $40
miles along the coast of the Red sea, TO "A
point on the strait of Bah Ell Mnnden.
and its influence is felt in the interior,
more particularly since the victories Of
General Baraticri over deryishes and
other nomads
After the defeat and suicide OF King
Theodore of Abyssinia in 1868. Prince
Kassa of Tigre, one of the semi-independ-
ent states forming Abysslnia, assumed
the chief power under the title of King
John H. He was succeeded in 1889 by
Menelik, King Of Shoa, another semi-inde-
pendent state in the south.
Tigrines Objected to the Italian Yoke.
In that year Menelik concluded n treaty
with Italy by which Abyssinia was practi-
cally put under an Italian protectorate
There was much opposition TO this pro-
tectorate on the part of the Abyssinians,
notably the Tigrines, and they needed but
little inducement to take up arms against
the Italians.
In December, 1894. a body of 1000 der
wishes attacked the Italians at Fort
Agordat, Erythrea, but were severely de-
feated. The deryishes fled, leaving their
commander. Hamed Ali. and many of his
chiefs, dead OH the field. Later, the
Italians captured Kassala, the stronghold
OF the dervishes and the gateway of the
Soudan. This town had been in tho
hands of the Mahdists since 1885, in which
year they captured 1t from the Egyptians
Finally Ras Mangascia took the field
against the Italians, who were under the
command of the then Colonel Baratieri,
and several engagements wero fought, re.
sulting ultimately in attempts on the
part OF Ras Mangascia to secure peace 1t
was said that Menclik had promised to
help Ras Mangascia to fight the Italians,
but the latter, according 10 tho latest ad-
vices, were masters of the situation.
As reward for his success in this cam
paign Colonel Baratieri was promoted to
be general. Emperor William of Ger.
many conferred upon him the decoration
of the Order of the Red Eagle
