he endeavored to subdue Tieba, the
chief of Sikasso. town to the north
OF his country. The place was too
strong for him, and his forces were
reduced to a very low ebb before he
abandoned the enterprise.
Samory was shortly driven from his
own country about the sources OF the
Niger, and made his way eastward be-

troops till the beginning of 1897, when
the whole of this hinterland began to
be filled with small parties of French
and English running about, taking OBJ
servations and signing treaties. A
mission under Lieutenant Henderson,
X. N. (Traveling Commissioner), was
sent up, found body OF Sofas in pos
session OF the town of Bona, and
turned them out The same was done
at Wa. whence the mission went to
Dawkita. Here they were attacked by
the Sofas under Samory's son, Sara

were reduced TO such a position that
nothing could be done but escape in
the night and make for Wa. AT Wa
they were met by achievements un-

surrounded the little force, and 1t was
only saved by Lieutenant Henderson's
plucky action In going to the Sofa camp
and demanding an audience OF Sa-
mory. The British retreated In the
night, losing two guns; the cannon
taken the other day is doubtless one
OF these. A few months later French
force in the same country was sur

treacherously attacked them. killing all
the officers. Up till June OF this
year, the two European powers were
so much occupied with each others
movements that Samory was left very
much to his own devises. But directly
the convention was signed operations

IN THE RIFLE PITS.
spaniards' Flags of Truce Amused tn,
Mon In the Trenches

-
The days that followed July 3d were
filled with innumernblc visits to the
Spanish lines under flags of truce,
| writes Richard Harding Davis in
Scribner's. To the men In the pits,
who knew nothing OF the cxigencies
or diplomacy, these virgin flags were
ms offensive as those of red are to the
bull. The men had placed their own
| flags along the entire line of trenches,
! and though they afforded the enemy a
perfect target. and fixed our position
ns clearly as buoys mark out II race
course. the men wanted the flags there
and felt better at seeing them there,
ana so there they remained. The
trenches formed horseshoe curve
five miles In length, and the entire
line was deiiantly decorated with our
flags. When they timttcred in the
wind at full length and the sun kissed
their colors they made one of the
most inspiring and beautiful pictures
of the war. The men would crouch
for hours in the pits, with these flags
rustling above them, and felt well re
paid for their service: but when they
saw crawling across the valley below
the long white iing OF truce their
watchfulness seemed wasted. their
vigilance became n farce, and they
mocked and scoffcd at the white flag
bitterly. These flags We're sent in so
frequently that the men compared
them 10 the different war extras Of n
daily paper, and would ask. Has that
10 o'clock edition gone In YETI" and,
rs this the base ball edition coming

Has Ravaged the Interior of Africa Ruthlessly,
But He Met His Waterloo.

Ope by one the great centers OF pure
ly African power are falling. In 1893
the Congo States forces under Baron
Dhanis smashed up the Arab traders
and their rule at Nyangee and kason-
80. Bohanzin in Dahomey fell In 1894,
Prempeh in Kumasi In 1896. Six weeks
ago the Khalifa's power was finally
broken. And now Samory ends his
long career as captive. The "black
Napoleon" as he has been called, will
no doubt find his st. Helena.
Samory, like so many other African
'otentates-for instance, Rabbeh, now
ruler of Bornu, almost the last sur
'ivor Of these great predatory chiefs
began life as slave. His father was
