explosions but the eff ort was In vain.

The first house was built in Victor in
October, 1898. In July of the following
year, the city was Incorporated and six
years later it contained 10000 inhabi-

FIGHTING IN AFRICA.
Frenehmen Seem Round To Have n
Row.

Paris, August 2l.--M. Decrais, minis
ter of the colonies, has received a de-
spatoh from the governor-general OF
French West Africa, fully confirming
Figaro's story, cabled to the Associated
Press this morning, of the killing OF
Lieut.. Col. Klopp and Lieut.. Meunuer by
members of n French expedition under the
conduct Of Capts. VouIet and Chanoine
in the French Soudan.
The confirmation has created a great
sensation and CAUSED the most painful i'm
preston, the only explanation suggested
being that Capt. Voulet had become
mentally affected by the African climate.
Curiously enough the killing occurred
on July IA, the date OF the French ma
ito nal fete.
1t appears that ON news being received
of the harbarity of the Voulet- ChaIioine
mission towards the natives on the march
towards Lake Chad, the Dupuy ministry
instructed Lieut.. Col. NKlopp, who was
at Hayes, to proceed with a flying column,
oyertake the mission, investigate the
charges and assume command. On July
IA the hlopp party overlook the mission
at Zimbor. near Domangar. Lieut. Col
replied that he would shoot him If he
advanced. Notwithstanding this threat
Klopp advanced and made himself known
to Voulet, who ordered him peremptorily
to stop.
The order was disregarded and when
the Klopl party was within hundred
and fifty metres of Vouiet's troops, the
latter, on his order, fired three volIeys,
which were followed by independent fir
ing.
Lieut.. Menunner fell dead. Lieut.. Col.
Klcpp, wounded in the leg by the first
volley, was despatched by being shot in
the head.
Voulet then ordered a bayonet ohsrge
and the remainder OF the klopp column
fed. carrying their wounded and leaving
besides the two officers, nine dead.
The survivors,. ten Of whom were
wounded, reached Dosso, under the com.
mand of native sergeant.
The Voulet-C banoine mission has
taken to the bush, but according to the
advices- received by NJ. DecrAis, a strorig
column wigs TO be bant in pursuit.
