BLOOD SPILLED AND TREASURE LOST Conquest of the Island Has Been Mostly Official. DEFIANCE OF THE NATIVES T HE ECHO OF THE great rejoicing in France over the suc- cess of the French troops in their con- quest of Madagascar has scarcely died away ere the news comes that the tribes throughout Mada- gascar are up in arms against their oppres sors — the French. The latest cable @ispatch states the situation briefly, es follows: “In reality the French conquest (of Madagascar) is only official. They have secured the Hova queen and the gov: ernment and two hundred allies from tie nearest port, but the independent and the semi-independent trikes living in the fast- nesses of the mountains and forests, prac- tically inaccessible to European troops, Queen of Madagascar. have it all their own way, and defy the French masiers to suppress them” The latest advices say that except where the French have garrisons the whole island is in a state ef anarchy. The lives of foreigners are imperiled and the natives | refused to cultivate and furnish provisions to the garrisons and to the people now taking refuge in the capital, Antananarivo. Supplies Cut of. That city is surrounded by the most im- portant and fertile agricultural district in the island, and upon the native farmers thereabout the population of the capital must depend for their food supply. For- merly the natives came from miles away Capt. Razafimandimby, Pure Hora. to bring their produce to these markets, but now they refuse to do so, and all sup- plies are cut off, except those imported to the island and reshipped up country on the backs of the carriers. Even the cattle and hogs have been driven back into the Interior, remote from travel and far out of reach of the mar! If this state of affairs really exists, and there seems to be no doubt as to the cor- rectness of the report, the French w'il have a serious time of as well as all the other foreigners now residing in Antanana- rivo. Not satisfied with this it is said that the natives are waylaying all the | “perters” or carriers coming up country with provisions, killing and looting every- Where, with the avowed object, it seems, A Group of Boys. of ultimately starving out the troops now eccupying their country. During the past few months sevoral liun- @red persons have thus been killed by the rebels, and among them are reported «ix- teen Europeans and three Americans. In a State of Siege. The capital has already been placed in a State of siege, and there is need for no better evidence than this as to the dan- gerous state of affairs. The roads leading from Antsnanarivo, the capital’ to the coasts are said to be closed to travel, thus practically cutting off the foreigiers in the interior from communication with the out- side world. There are but two of these roads, or paths, one from Tamatave on the east coast, and the other from Majunga on the west. Paul Ratsimthaby. In their march to the Hovas capital the French chose the latter route because ihe country traversed by it was less moun- tainous, though much longer than the Tam- atave route, and also because they would have met with considerable resistance from the east coast tribes, who were and tre friendly with the Hovas. The Sakalavas, Much time and advantage was to be gained: by traversing the Sakalava country. These tribes inhabit the whole extent of the west ccast, and are very powerful and warlike, and comprise about one-third cf the native population of the island. By reason of their long enmity to the Hovas and with promises on the part of the French that their former aseseions weuld be restored to them, the fatter were assured of the non-iaterference of the Sak- alavas, if not thelr co-operation. With isious of great power over their old enemy befcre them, the Sakalava permitted’ the French army to pass through their terri- tory unmolested. The French were even able to employ many of them as carriers. The belfef that the smail garrisons of troops at Antananarivo, Majonga, Tama- tave and one or two other points in the island gre sufficient to cope with the 4uH- culties that were sure to arise is by no means general in France. With more than 200,000,000 francs already spent and the loss of several thousand of the best troops in the French army, and the probable necessity of sending out large re- inforcements soon to quell the present outbreak, and the additional cost it will entail, it seems that the prophesy of M. Clemenceau and his followers, who bitter- ly opposed the expedition, are to be fMi- filled earher than they expected. The French soldiers find it difficult enough to take care of themselves, mucn less to subjugate and control the people. A Failure, Those enthusiasts who have for several years dreamed of a French Madagascar | will find much to interest and disturb them in the present crisis in the island. of straightening out matters French seem Instead there, the to have made them worse. A Group of Gir: It is true that they are at the capital, and that the queen has agreed to carry out the reforms suggested by the resident general of France, but this amounts for very little if they have an insufficient force and power to carry their plans into execution. The people positively refuse to obey their new masters, and unless France sends more troops ani is willing to spend millions more of money, she will, it is reasonable to say, lose all that she has gained by her recent war. On the whole, it begins to look as if Mad- agascar will prove to be to France what Cuba is to Spain—a thorn in her side. The natives, while not in open rebellion, are carrying on a guerrilla warfare, and those who are in a position to know, as- sert that underlying all the troubles that have and are agitating the country may be seen the hand of the Hovas. The French citizens in Madagascar are urging the governor to show no quarter or sympathy to the subjects of her majesty the queen. The movements of Hova offi- cials, the discourses of the queen and her prime minister have excited much suspi- cion and fear among French citizens in the island. Arrested for Treason. Some of the high Hova officials named by the French president under the new ad- istration, on account of their supposed French sympathy, have been recently ar- rested for treason. Among them are Ran- anampandry, lvtra (honors), field marshal in the late war and formeriy governor at Tamatave. He is regarded by all familiar with the Malagasy as the ablest statesman of his race. There is 2lso among them the handsome Pau! Rats!mihaby, a noble, who since the fall of Rainilairivony, has suc- ceeded in ingratiating himself into the good graces cf the queen. Besides these there are about seventzen other prominent Hovas now awaiting trial for treason. Characteristics of the Sakalavas. The pure-blooded Sakalavas, who are now causing the French so much trouble, and who are about 1,500,000 in number, have much the same characteristics and pride of the American Indians. They are not want- ing in courage, and prefer to dle fighting than in any other way, but they are so full of superstition and fear of charms that when one or two of a party are killed they generally give up the fight, not from fear of the enemy, but because they think the gods zre against them. They rarely, how- ever, come into open contlict, always pre- ferring to surprise those whom they wish to attack, whether enemies or travelers. They think themselves quite the equals of Europeans and treat all foreigners ac- cordingly. They think it beneath them to show gratitude for anything: ond if one asks a Sakalava if he would like such and such a thing, he will answer,. “Should 1 hate it?’ Their selfishn: and pride is as irritating as the good manners and polite- ness of the Hovas are pleasing. The Sakalavas very rarely show surpr: and it is difficult see any cmotion in their faces, however astonishing or pleased they may really be. PAUL BRAY. a Nebody Blames Her.

ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION Took a Prominent Part in the De- fense of Washington. THE OLD SIXTH CORPS EXT WEDNESDAY, the dedication of the Dae regimental monu- ; ment erected by the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery As- sociation will occur at the Arlington Na- tional cemetery. The occasion will be one of great interest, not only to the surviving members of the regi- ment itself, many of whom are expected to be presen: from cut of town, but to the survivors of the glor- fous old ¢th Corps generaliy, of which the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery formed a part. i The president of the-regimental assccia- tion 1s Frederick M. Cooke of Winsted, Conn., formerly lieutenant in the regiment. The committee having the arrangements for the dedicatory exercises in charge is composed of six members, five of whom, F. A. Lucas, D. C. Kilbburn, H. 8. McKin- ney, Wm. H. Lewis and W. H. Whitelaw, reside in the state of Cognecticut, the sixth member being A. G. Bliss of this city. The dedicatory exercises proper will be preceded by the regular annual reunion of the regiment, in which they will be joined by many survivors of the 12th Connecticut Infantry, with thelr frionds, who will be here for the occasion, on their way home from the dedication of their own regimental monument, which is to take place Monday at the Nationa! cemetery at Winchester. ey The program of the dedicatory exercises proper on Wednesday will consist of ad- dresses of presentation and acceptane a poem ty De Witt C. Sprague and the ora- tion, which will be delivered by Judge Au- gustus H. Fenn of the supreme court of the state of Connecticut, with Music fur- nished by the Gth Cavalry Band. Through the courtesy of Col. Samuel C. Sumner, commanding the 6th United States Cavairy, a drill will be given by his command at Fort Myer, in honor of the visitors, im- mediately after the close of the dedicatory exercises. The monument to be dedicated is a hand- some piece of work, made of dark gray granite from Quincy, Mass., and copper bronze, and is located about half way be- tween the west gate and the amphitheater: It consists of three bases, a die, subdie and the corps’ badge, in the form of a Greek cross, surmounting the whole. The monu- ment is six feet square at the base, and stands twelve feet four inches above the ground line. On the front of the cross, in raised letters, appears the name of the regiment. On the face of the upper die, in sunken letters, appear the words, “Origi- nally 19th Connecticut Infantry.” On the front of the lower die is the coat of arms. of the state of Connecticut, in bronze, with the inscription, “Erected A. D. 1806, by the State of Connecticut.” On the various other faces appear the names of the en- gagements in which the regiment partici- pated and the regimental history. Stephen Maslem of Hartford, Conn., is the sculptor. The Orator of the Day. ‘The orator of the occasion, Judge Au- gustus H. Fenn, was a gallant officer in the regiment. The 22d of June, 1864, he led his company into a skirmish at Petersburg as far as it advanced, and was then and there detailed acting assistant adjutant general on Upton’s staff. In September he was appointed judge advocate of the di- vision court-martial. lost his right arm. The surgeons at An- napolis propcsed to muster him out and discharge him for disability, but he pro- tested and wrote to Gen. McKenzie urging him to interfere. The consequence was he was retained, and in less than seven weeks from the time when his arm was taken off at the shoulder Joint he reported for fuil duty at the front and was detailed acting assistant adjutant gencral of the brigade again, which detail Was afterward changed to brigade inspec- tor. He subsequently participaied in sev- eral fights. He was detailed as judge ad- vocate five different times; was brevetted major for galiantry at Cedar Creek and promoted to major in January, 1865. He was brevetted lieutenant colonel after Sail- ors’ Creek, and colonel for “services during the war.” Judge Fenn, in addition to his duties on the bench, is a professor of law in Yale University. Defense of This City. The 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery was raised in 1862 under President Lin- coln’s second call for 300,000 voluntcers, and was known as the 19th Infantry. It was recruited as the “Litchfield County Regiment,” and was mustered into the ser- vice September 11, 1862. During the re- mainder of that year it performed provost duty in Alexandria, Va., being encamped at Shuter’s Hill, at the head of King street. Early in 1863 the regiment was transferred to Gen. Robert O. Tyler's com- mand, entitled “Military Defenses of Alex- andria,” anu moved to Fort Worth, situ- ated near Fairfax Seminary. While sta> tioned here the regiment took up artillery Practice and became so proficient therein that November 13, 1863, on the recom- mendation of Gen. Barry, chief of artillery, it was changed from infantry to ertiliery, being designated as the “2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery,” and was brigaded with the Ist Connecticut Heavy Artiilery, under Col. Henry L. Abbott, now colonel U. 8: Corps of Engineers. The companies were distributed between Forts Ellsworth, Williams and Worth, and the regiment was recruited to maximum artillery standard. May 1864, the regi- ment was stationed at eleven foris directly opposite Georgetown, viz.: Forts Corcoran, Albany, Craig, Whipple, Tiliinghast, Cass, Woodbury, Bennett, Haggerty, C. F. Smith and Strong. When Lieut. Gen. Grant was summoned from the west to Washington, in the spring of 1664, and invested with the command of all the armies of the United States, the 4d Connecticut Heavy Artillery, in common with other regiments garrison~ ing the defenses of Washington, took the field as infantry and formed ihe major portion of the 2d Brigade (Upton's) of ihe ist. Division, Gth Corps. Gen. Early’s Attack. In the gallant charge at Ccld Harbor, June 1, 1864, 114 members of this regiment were killed, including its colonel, Elisha 8: At Cedar Creek he j Kellogg; 170 wel? wounded, and fifteen. were‘ reported migging after ‘the battle. ol. Kellogg watili:succeeded in command by Ranald 8. McKenzie, a West Point graduate and tain of engineers, who was then on dutgnat army headquarters, and who subseqyently rose to the rank of brigadier general in the United .States army. The regiment followed the fortunes of the Army of th€*Potomac until Gen. Ju- bal Early made hig:attack on this city at Fert Stevens... 5), . On the morning July 10, 1964, it em- barked at City Pdint, Va.; disembarked at the foot of 7th stéét in this city at sun- rise on July ‘12, uml marched directly up ith street to Font )Stevens. The siege of Washington was.rajsed and the regiment participated in the pursuit of Early as far as Snicker’s Gap j fee Blue Ridge, fording the Potomac at Fdwards’ Ferry, and the Shenandoah Near, Berryville, from which Roint it was. ordered to return to the as- sistance of the miain army. Before this could: be accomplished, however, news.came that Early had faced about and had de- feated Crook, driving him into Maryland. The 6th Corps was subsequently ordered into the Shenandoah Valley, whither it maghed from Wyshington ‘by way of Rockville ‘and Frederick, crossing the Po- tcmac in pontoons, July 20, 1864. Gen. Sheridan having been placed in command of the Union forces in the valley, vigorous operations were at once commenced, and the battle of Winchester (sometimes term- ed Opequan) was ‘fought September 19, the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery sustaining ‘a loss of forty-two’ kitted and 108 wounded. > At Cedar Creekein’ © In the action at Fisher's Hill, Va., Sep- tember 22, 1864, the regiment’s casualties were four killed and nineteen wounded, and at Cedar Creek, celebrated in song and story, on the 19th of the following month, dts loases- were thirty-eight killed and ninety-six wounded, in addition to the thirty-nine who “were taken prisoners, eleven of whom died'in prison. The enemy having been thoroughly routed from the Shenandoah, the regiment returned to Washington by train ori the Ist of Decem- ber, and embarked at the foot of 7th street for City Point, landing there on the 4th. From this place it took the cars on “Grant's Railroad” for the defenses of Petersburg. where ‘it remained in service until the final charge which resulted in the capture of the city April 2, 1865. The 2d Connecticut. Heavy Artillery claims to have been the first regiment to enter Petersburg on this triumphant occasion, and its colonel was made provost marshal of the city, but he gerved in this capacity for the brief space of two hours, as the regiment started in pursuit of Lee’s army, and participated in the battle of Sailor's Creek, where its losses were three killed and six wounded. After the surrender at Appomattox the 6th Corps, including the 2d Connecticut heavies, vas ordered to North Carolina, under Gen. Sheridan, to reinforce Gen. Sherman, and the march from Burkesville to Danville on the Dan river, a distance of 10 miles, Was made in four days.. At Dan- ville. news wes received that.she war had etely, ended -by the surrender to. Sherman, and .the com- - a right-about-face, marching back to Washingion by. way of Halifax Court House, Burkesyille Junction, Rich- mond and Harover Court House, and en- camped at Baiicy’s Cross Roads, about three mites from this city, from which point it marched to participate in the final grand review of the Gth Corps on the Sth day of June, 41885. ‘After the War. On the 16:h of the same month the regi- /' ment bade final farewell to the glorious old 6th Corps, sand was ordered to report to Gen. Harcock, commanding the middle di- vision, for garrison duty, its several com- panies beng distributed among eleven forts of the garrison of Wa: ton, north of the Potcmac, namely, Forts Greble, Car- roll, Snyder, Stanton, Ricketts, Wagner, Baker, Devis, Dupont, Meigs and Mahan, with headquarters at Fort Baker, at the head of Good Hope Hill read. June 27 the regiment was transferred to the south side of the Potomac and sta= toned at Forts Ethan Allen and Marcy, near Chain bridge, Fort Albany, near the Arlington mansion, and battery Martin Scott, at the east end of the Chain bridge. It was at Fort Ethan Allen thet the’mem- bers of the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery were finally mustered out of the service, the original enlisted men being mustered out the 7th of July, and the balance of the command August 18, 1865. ‘The casualties of this regiment in less than one year following May 24, 1864, were killed, 24; wounded, including thos: tally wounded, 470: missing in action, 24; died in rebel prisons, 22; total, 750. It is peculiarly fitting that the 2d Con- necticut Heavy Artillery should erect this -monument at Arlington on account of the fact that the major part of its service was in-the-defenses of this city, and ‘nineteen of its members, together with {ts old com- mander, the gallant Sheridan, repose ‘in that beautiful cemetery. A DARING GOORKHA, He Saved His Companions, Who Were Ccoped Up in a Little Stockade. ‘From Lippincett’s. An’ anecdote illustrative of the devoted Callentry of the native soldier has been told recently by an English writer who was an eye-witness of the deed: In an expedi- tion against a troublesome tribe of native kil robbers a little party of the guides, twenty-five in number, had seized a stock- ade; but the enemy were too strong in force to rerider‘it “wise to leave the shelter and make an attack.
