FRENCH VICTORY IN SOUDAN.
Chicf Rabah, the "African Napo.
leon." Overthrow.

Sh'ti huDln, inc 'Atflcun NapOs
leon" Overthrow.
Paris, Feb. I'm. de Crais, minis
ter of the colonies, has received a
telegram from the governor Of the
French Congo, announcing the defeat
in battle Of Rabah, the principal chief
tan Of the central Soudan, by a
French expedition under NJ. Gintill.
Rabah has long been the strongest
opponent of the extension of French
influence in the Soudan. He was
formerly a slave of Zebehr Pasha,
himself a great Soudan ruler, but re-
volted and formed a kingdom of his
W in Central Africa, subiugating
potentate after potentate until he be-
came head of a vast empire. His ca
reer Of victory gained for him the
name of the african Napoleon" The
French have been fighting his power
for years and the dispatch just re-
ceived announces his overthrow. 1t
appears he was strongly e~ntrenched
at Kouna, between the French Congo
and Lake Tchad, which is the obiec-
tive of all French expeditions. Kouna
was defeated by $4,000 men with $500
rifles and three mo After n des-
perate fight, according to the dis
patch, the French demolished the
fortress. Two of Rabah's cannon were
destroyed and Rabah, who was
wounded during the fight, fed six
hours before its conclusion.
The commander of the French *.
petition, however, admits that practi.
cally half his own force was placed
hors de combat. Forty-three Senegal.
csc shar oshooters and four Europeans,
including Captain Ribolot and 106 Sen.
egalese, were wounded. The comman-
der of the expedition says in his re.
port:
"We had altogether only 800 rifles,
so | thought it inadvisable to continue
the march TO Lake Tchad. Captain
Ribolot reports a fortified cantonment
at Tounia."
The commander of the expedition
returned to Bangue to inform the gov.
rno q the defeat of the Rabah. He
reports that the result will be very
important, as Rabah is completely de-
moralized by his losses, estimated at
between 1000 and 5000 killed.
The governor has sent reinforce
ments of Senegalese sharpshooters tc
enable the commander of the eXpedi-
ton to continue the march.
