TONKIN BOTHERS FRANCE.
Murders Of Natives by soldIsrs--Japauss'
Intrigues.
| PARIS, Nov. l1.--Affairs are developing
badly In Frances colony Of Indo-China
The educated native Annamites have
formed and are spreading the belief thai
the French Government and people set
no hopeful future for an Asiatio possession
and can be made 80 impatient Of III
annoyances as to prefer evacuation, bag
and baggage.
The new Governor. M. Klobakowsh
who won credit for himself as special
ernissary from France at the court OF
Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia, has begun
his administration by seeking to throttle
the insidious propaganda. Already. how
ever. he finds that he has got his hand into
hornets nest.
All through the summer conditions In
the colony have been bordering on the
chaotic. There were the murders by
ciplinsry battalion and the failure to
punish the murderers. The white popula-
ton. both men and women. invaded the
Governors official residence, held indig-
nation meetings In his reception room
and played on his billiard table.
When he expostulated they jostled him
of his veranda and shouted for Heads!
Heads! Give us heads' President Fal-
Heres had to break his rule Of committing
all capital sentences. and Eve Annamite
assassins were decapitated.
This did not stem the trouble among
the colonists. In their haste and anger
they cried that they would cut adrift
from the French Republic and found
for themselves an independent common
wealth. The educated native smiled
ironically at the threats. He had laid other
plans for the future Of Indo-China and it
is with them that Gov. Kiobakowski has
come in collision.
Gilbert Ghieu, an educated Annamite
naturallzed as French citizen, was ar
rested at Hanoi on Governer's warrant
for stirring up sedition and resistance
TO the French authorities. Ghieu In al
active member OF an anti-French organiza-
tion which is directed from Toxic. This
movement embraces the young Anna
mites who emigrate to Japan to complete
their education.
They are canvassed in their homes by
Japanese agents, who choose the most
studious and competent and ambitious.
They have established in Japan a colony
of Annamite and Topkinese natives, which
i not maintained by the Japanese Gov
ernment Is supported by important mill
tary influences. Its members keep their
young compatriots at home informed OF
the agreeable life in Japan, OF the con-
sideration in which they are held. Of the
milder rule Of the Emperor Of the Rising
Sun and Of the absence Of all fiscal in
QUESTION. These messages have their
effect and every year young Annamites
sail for japan, there to become irrecon-
cilable enemies of France.
One OF them. Pham~ Boi Trau, who
passed first In the higher education ex-
animation In the province Of Nghe-An,
disappeared from his native district
father and one Of his brothers also van
ished. After an interval his friends at
home learned by letter from Toxic
that he had graduated from it's university
and that he had obtained a rank for en-
ployment promising that from the day
when France abandons Indo- China he
would be permitted to return and admin
istrate his country

Tonkin and AMMAN.
Not long ago the French officers Of the
first regiment Of Annamite Rifles sur
prised two native adjutants distributing
among their mon leaflets exalting the
strength Of the japanese and violently
was the position Of the white officers In
regard TO the native regiments that the
two revolutionary adjutants were ordered
only TO a change Of garrison.
