Again and again tried to find an opening, but Patmer eluded him easily. He aucked to either side with equal quickness and the crowd rose en masse and applauded his clever work. Palmer sent a straight left on the jaw, and in a rally fought George to the ropes with both hands when the bell rang. Both tried cautiously for an opening in the second. Palmer got there first with a left on the jaw. Dixon rushed, but failed e to score. The colored boy swung his left ior the jaw, but Palmer ducked and came up swmiling behind him. Dixon landed a right on the jaw, and Palmer responded with a leit jabon the neck. They had a hot ra n which Palmer had a bit the better of it, g both hands freely. In the third round Palmer opened the ball again, but Dixon swung the right band on the jaw. Palmer vopped his left on George's chin and gol away from a hot return. . Ti:e *‘peddler” forced the fight- ing with both bands on the face and neck, but Dixon equalized with heavy body blows, and honors were easy. Dixon was the first to lead in the next, but fell short and Palmer got in a straight left on the neck. The cockney put a light left-hander in Dixon’s face and got away cleverly. Dixon aguin played for the body, while Palmer paid his attention to the feather- weight's face. Just before the round closed swung his right hard on the *‘peddler’s'” jaw and the blow told. Palmer seemed to have lost some of his wonderfu! quickness and Dixon’s inning commenced. Dixon swung his fight vi- ciously for the jaw and Palmer did not get away quite fastenough, but did not get the full swing. Palmer jabbed aleft-hander on George's face, but did not phaze the feather-weightany. Several hotexchanges took place, and Dixon uppercut Palmer with the leit. Dixon landed the right on the jaw with telling effect, and, though Palmer tried his best, the round was Dixon’s, Dixon opened the last on the ear, followed up b anght and leit on the fuce. Paimer clinched repeat- edly and appeared tired. Once the Eng- lishman showed some of his form when he sent his left into Dixon’s face and got away from the return, For the remainder of the time Palmer was on the defensive. Dixon crossed his right on the jaw, and just before the bell rang the colored cham- pion swung a right-hander on Palmer’s jaw. Referee Moore declared the bout a draw. SULLIVAN'S CONDITION SERIOUS. If Inflammation or Erysipelas Sets In the Chances Are Against the Ex- Champion. SPRINGFIELD, IrL., Jan. 30.—John L. Sullivan, who was badly injured by falling from a train yesterday at Galva, Ill., is still here. His company leit here this morning for St. Louis, but Sullivan was not able to go. Dr. Dixon, who is attending Sullivan, said from a doctor’s standpoint that it is a very serious case, though nota dangerous one. The wounds and bruises are in such 8 locality that unless a great deal of care is taken inflammation or erysipelas may set in at any time in the next few days, and his condition is such that if this hap- pens the result may be fatal; but at the present time there is not much danger, as he is receiving the best of care. Manager Gleckauf thinks Sullivan will be able to appear with his company at El Paso, Tex., where the fistic carnival takes place February 14, —_— DAN STUART CONFIDENT. Says Allthe Fights Billed Will Certainly Come OF. EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 30.—Dan A, Stuart to-night gave out the following to the press. “] am in receipt of a telegram from the City of Mexico denying the report from that point sent out last night about the ordering out of the Rurales troops. B “Even were this report trae there is nothing in it to discomfort me in the least. His Excellency President Diaz in his re- port is made to appear unduly exercised. He will have no occasion to worry any ver the matter. o“‘l am over $25000 out of pocket by reason of the Hot Springs affair, and pride myself on the possession of a sufficient amount of ordinary inteliigence to have profited by that experience. Every doilar of the purses offered for the five fights scheauled is up. “This money goes {o the fighters whether they get into the ring or not. Think, do look like a fool? Would I tie up all slns money on a gamble or achance? Were I to divuige the place of meeting I, of course, could easily assuage the fears of President Diaz snd the other dignitazies who fear an invasion of carni- vat vistors. I do not care to be serving notices on the public every few minutes, and now give it out as an absolute cer- tainty that all of the fights will take place. This is final and irrevocable.” In the Chicago Wheat Pit. CHICAGO, TiL., Jan. 30.—There was an exciting session in the wheat pit to-day. May wheat, after selling at 64 cents early, was bid up to 663 cents, but fell off to 653{ cents just before the close of trad. ing. The advance from the low point yesterday was 314, and is the highest point yet reached "during the present bull campaign., The trade is still of the belief that Armour is under the market, and there has been extensive covering by shorts and buying for investment, The day’s news also favored the bull side of the market. po sy Murder of a Millionaire. BRENHAM, Tex., Jan. 30.—Thomas Dwyer, a millionaire, was murdered last night by urknown persons in his office in the center of the business portion of the city, robbery being the purpose. The body was then taken to a cistern and thrown in.’ He was 76 years old and leaves a widow and one unmarried child. SHOT LOWN A MARSHAL Moonshiners Give Battle to Revenue Officers in North Carolina. SR R A Deputy Who Went After Assistance for His Wounded Chief Fatally Beaten. WINSTON, N. C., Jan. 30.—Particulars were received here to-night of a sensa- tional fizht between revenue officers and moonshiners onh Monday in Carroll County, Va., near the North Carolina line. Deputy United States Marshal Worrel and Deputy Collector William Thornton were enticed by moonshiners to go near the Fancy Gap to cut up an illicit distillery. When the officers arrived within about 100 yards of the still house thevsaw a num- ber of men leaving there. The officers called upon the supposed blockaders to halt, whereupon the latter began firing upon the officers, who returned the fire, and a fierce battle followed. Marshal Worrell was shot down. His deputy, Thornton, pleaded for some time with the moonshiners before they would allow him to care for Worrell. One of the biockaders later assisted Thornton in removing Worrell to an old bouse. The deputy went-after a physi- cian for his friend, but on his return the mocnshiners set upon him and beat him unmercifully, if not fatally. Great indig- natibn exists over the affair, Sy GOOD FA1TH OF PERU. American Missionaries Expelled From Cuzco Issuc a Statement. LIMA, Peru, Jan. 30.—The leaders of the American missionaries who were re- cently expelled from Cuzco have issued a circular letter, in which they declare that they recognize the good faith of the Gov- ernment of Peru and are anxious to ex- press their gratitude to the people of Cuzco for the generosity which was shown them in their distress. The missionaries say that they will with- draw their claims for damages as originaliy filed and only demand payment for the actual losses which they sustained in the late outbreak against’ them. They ask, however, that the actual perpetrator of the wrongs be punished. Ah st ] ACCUSED OF PERJURY. Serious Charge Against a Wealthy Trunk Manufacturer. CHICAGO, Irn., Jan. 30.—Judge Ball this morning sent to the Grand Jury a complaint against Joshua W. Bell, a wealthy trunk manufacturer of this . charging him with committing perjury in his court during the trial of Henry Rass on a charge of stealing a aiamond pin from Bell. Ross entered & ples of guilty, but when Bell was asked to identify him as the thief the witness swore he was not the man. Two police officers then swore that Beil had testified positively to the Grand Jury and in the Police Court that Ross was the thief. Ross was then dis- charged. St One Million Dollars Less. ST.

LEADVILLE, Cowo., Jan. 30.—Three men were injured and one probably fatally at the Arkansas Valley smelter this morn- ing by the blowing out of the pap jacket of a blast furnace. James Powers was ter- ribly burned and cut about the head and bas a concussion of the brain. R. Miln, who had charge of the furnace, was se- verely burned and has a broken arm.

To-night there is every indica- tion that a storm is brewing. SUPPORT FOR THE SUBSTITUTE, Senator Mitchell's Ringing Words in Behalf of Silver. INDEPENDENCE URGED. This Country Should Not Be Ruled by the Single Gold Standard. PERKINS MAKES EXPLANATION Favors Free Coinage Because So In- structed by the Legislature of California. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—In contrast with the excitement with the speech of Tillman created in the Senate vesterday the proceedings fo-day were dull and commonplace. Most of the morning hour was consumed in a discus- sion about the joint resolution ordering the purchase and distribution.of seeds by the Secretary of Agriculture (on which no action was taken) and during the re- mainder of the day, after 2 o’clock, speeches were made on the House bond bill, with the Finance Committee’s substitute. Call (D.) of Florida and Mitchell (R.) of Oregon argued in support of the substitute, Mitchell declaring bim- self “in favor of a vigorous, aggressive policy of indepepdent bimetalism, coupled with a protective tariff.” Then Perkins (R.) of California took the floor to reply to a newspaper criticism on himself and his eolleague, as misrepresent- ing their State on the silver question. He read the latest official action of the Cali- fornia Legislature in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver in disprocf of the charge and then he spoke at length on the general subject. An attempt was made at the close of the day’s session to have an agreement fora final vote on the bill next Saturday. Ina discussion on that point some amusing badinage took place between Senators Chandler (R.) of new Hampshire and Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada, in which the latter spoke of the dispute over the free- coinage substitute as a mere ‘“dress parade,” and intimated that a similar amendment would be offered to the tariff bill. The urgency deficiency appropriation bill was referred back from the Committee on Approvriations and notice was given by Hale (R.) cf Maipe that he would prob- ably ask tha Senate to-morrow to con- sider it. The House bill for the appointment of a chaplain at West Point Military Academy for four years was reported with amend- ments making the President the appoint- ing power and regulating the salary. It was passed, aud a conference asked._ ‘Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska intrqduced a bill to prohibit the purchase or use by the Government of any wares or manufactures made in any penitentiary, workhouse or other prison, or by convict labor, Referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. The Senate bill to pay $7419 to the widow of the late Justice Miller of the Su- preme Court of the United States, being a sum equal to the balance of his salary for the year in which he died, was taken from the calendar and passed. The joint resolution directing the Secretary of Agriculture to carry into effect the provisions of the act making appro- priations for the purchase and distribution of valuable seeds and for the printing and distribution of farmers’ bulletins was taken up and George (D.) of Mississippi con- tinued the argument which he began a few days ago against it. The discussion of the resolution went on till 2 p. M., when it was laid aside without action, and the House bond bill with the Finance Committee’s free coinage substi- tute was taken up and Call (D.) of Florida went on with the argument which was in- terrupted by adjournment yesterday. It was generally in favor of the substitute. Mitchell (R.) of Oregon was tha next speaker. He denied the necessity for fur- ther bond issues—for a further increase of interest-bearing indebtedness. He denied that the interest or welfare of the Govern- ment or of the people required the per- petuation of the single gold standard. And he protested that the continued and persistent effort to destroy bimetallism in this country was a fatal stab at the best material interests of the people and a dan- gerous and oppressive encroachment upon their constitutional liberties. He would, therefore, without any hesitation, but with great pleasure, vote in favor.of the com- mittee substitute, and against the bill as it came from the House. In conclusion Mitchell said : ‘Is it not about time this great Nation, these United States of America, should as- sert its monetary as well as its commercial independence? Are we, with our vast ter- ritory, our immeasurable resources, our modesl Government, our 70,000,000 of brave, intelligent, aggressive, independent people, to forever acknowledge our dependence on Great Britain or any other power on earth, in either a monetary or any other sense? Must we, while denying the right of any Government on the globe, republican or monarchial, !iberal or despotic, to dictate to us as to the character of our legislation upon any or all of the great questions touching our industrial and commercial interests, questionsinvolving the right of expatiation, the character of people we shall admit to our shores, the encroach- ment of alien systems, even to limits far beyond our National borders, but upon the hemisphere upon which we live, questions involving our National honor and every conceivable subject pertaining to our present and future welfare and the promo- tion and progress of our civilization, save and except one, that relating to our mone- tary system, and asto that one, must we be forever subservient to the will and wish and the dictation of Great Britain? “Has the more than century of our na- tional life, with all the prestige and in- fluence and power and glory that have come to us in our unparalleled progress as 8 nation, and in the developmentof a civilization than which none so grand has ever existea since the creation of man, still left us a poor, weak dependent on the British crown? Because England, since 1816, has adhered to the single gold stand- ard in the interest of the gold-brokers of Lombard street, are we to forever bend the supple kifee, acknow!edge our impo- tency s a nation, and surrender the pre- rogatives that ought rightfully to attach to 8 free and independent people? In my judgment, the United States as a nation, in whatever aspect considered—whether pationally, intellectually, scientifically, commercially or financially—stands, or at least should stand In the very vanguard of nations, pre-eminent in every element of greatness, in every aspect of grandeur, in every attribute of glory and in every essential or sovereign power. Resourceful in physical elements of every conceivable character in a measure, and to an extent unparalleled by any country on the globe, if she will but assert herself as becomes her as the proud, aggressive, in- dependent leader of nations, New York, and not London, will become the clearing- house of the world, and our country, pre- eminent over all, will no longer be slave either in commercial or monetary sense, but the distinctive and primal sovereign, e imperigl master and dictator, financi- ally as well ag commercially, among all the nations of the world.” Perkins (R.) of California replied to the criticisms of one of the metropolitan jour- nals on himself and his colleagues, who were charged with misrepresenting their State on the -silver question. He denied the charge and read resolutions adopted bp the California Legislature instructing Senators and requiring the representatives from that State to advocate the immediate enactment of such laws as may be neces- sary to provide for the immediate resump- tion of free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. That, he said, was the latest expression of opinion on the part of the Legislature, and he had not received a single official communica- tion indicating that there had been a change of sentiment in Califernia on that question. His own personal views on it were rather conservative. He suggested that there should be some compromise be- tween the silver men and gol@ men. He noticed that the Senator from Nevada (Stewart) shook his head in objection to that suggestion, but there were two sides to every question. *Let us come to- gether,” he said, *‘and crystallize some- thing that will benefit our people.’ ‘“‘Are you in favor,” Stewart asked, ‘“‘of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio.of 16 to 1 by the United States alone?” “I shall vote for that measure,” Perkins said, ‘‘because the people whom I in part represent have instructed me to do so, but I very much question whether it 1s the wisest policy for us to practice.” In the course of this colloquy between the two Senators, in which the California Senaior was advocating compromise, the Nevada Senator asked, by way of an un- answerabte argument, whether a Christian had ever been known to compromise with the devil. In the further course of his re- marks Perkins declared himself in favor of the House tariff bill, as presenting the most expedient plan of raising revenue. At the close of Perkins’ remarks the floor was taken by Vilas (D.) of Wisconsin, who suggested, however, that, at so latean hour of the day, he did not desire to in- flict a long speech on the Senate, and, therefore, an executive session was sug- gested by Jones (D.) of Arkansas. That proposition led Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire to ask whether Jones was abandoning his plan of getting a vote on the bill. Jones explained his object to be to have the Senate take a recess till 11 or 12 o’clock to-morrow, so as to dispense with the reading of the journal and with the routine morning business. “Does the Senator,”’ Chandler asked, “exps¢h to finish the bill to-morrow ?”’ “I nope s0,”’ Jones replied. “If not tifén, on Saturday.” . “Will” that be agreeable to the Senator from New York?” Chandler asked de- risively. “I am not making ary objection,” Hill cooily remarked, *‘and I prefer not to be polied.” [Laughter.] Morrill (R.) of Vermont suggested that he would desire to submit some remarks (occupying from forty to sixty minutes)on Saturday. Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada said it was perfectly apparent that the vote could not be reached this week, and he proposed that the vote be fixed for early next week. Jones expressed his assurance that the final vote could be taken later than Sat- urday. Harris (R.) of Tennessee stated, as a rea- gon why a Senator should hasten the time of taking the vote, that the Senator from Arkansas in chargeof the bill had of ne- cessity to leave the city next Saturday. Chandler expressed his desire to con- venience the Senator from Arkansas, but he did not want to be put in the attitude of hastening the passage of such a perni- cious measure as the substitute reported by that Senator. He suggested that the debaté should proceed under the five-min- ute rule, making an exception, of course, in favor of Morrill. Stewart said that he did not regard the bill or the substitute as of any importance, as there was no possibility of its becoming alaw. He regarded the whole thing asa “‘dress parade.’” The real bill, on which free coinage was to be engrafted, was the tariff bill, Chandler suggested to Stewart to draw off the troops from *dress parade’’ and go on with the business. After some amusing bantering between the two Senators Chan- dler asked Stewart whether, if the free coinage measure was to be put on the tariff bill he would not vote against the substitute bond bili? “Does the Senator,” Stewart asked, ‘‘want me to step out of the ranks of the dress parade?’ The question was answered by another address by Chandler to Stewart, whether he was in favor of putting a free coinage amendment on every bill. ‘‘Certainly,” Stewart exclaimed, ‘on every buncombe bill.” Finally the colloquy closed, and the Sen- ate at 6 p. M. took a recess until to-morrow at noon. DEMOCRATS DEFEND BAYARD. They Clog Action by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—No conclusive action was taken by the House Foreign Affairs Committee to-day with reference to Embassador Bayard’s recent speeches at Edinburgh and Boston. Four resolutions had been prepared by different gentlemen, ranging from mild to severe in their termsof censure; but McCreary of Kentucky moved that the pending resotu- tion be referred back to the sub-committee, which should be increased by the addition of two other members, as it was evident that the committee had reached no under- standing, and that a matter of this im- vortance should be carefully investigated. This led to a general discussion, in which McCreary, Money and Dinsmore spoke principally for_the Democrats and Quigg of New York, Hitt of Illinois and Pearson of South Carolina made the principal argu- ments for the Republicans. The debate took a wide range. The manifest purpose of the Democrats was not only to defend Bayard, but to gain time, and in this effort they were successful, inasmuch as pending the dis- cussion the hour of 12 arrived and the committee, under_the rules of the House, was required to adjourn. The committee will meet again Saturday. .ation of management. BRIEF SESSION- OF THE HOUSE “Strictly Business” Was the Order for Only Two Hours. ONE CONTEST SETTLED. Information Desired in Reference to the Nicaragua Canal Investigation. NEW COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS, Among the Bills Passed Is One Relat- ing to the Claims of Widows for Pensions. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20— “‘Strictly business” seemed to be the motto of the House in its two hours’ session to- day. ‘Wadsworth (R.) of New York, chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, reported the agricultural bill, and Grout (R.) of | Vermont the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill for the year ending June 30,1807 MeCall (R.) of Massachusetts, from the Elections Committee No. 2, reported its unanimous finding that David B. Culber- son (D.) was entitled to his seat as a Rep- Tesentative in the Fifty-fourth Congress from the Fourth Texas District, J. H. Davis having abandoned the contest, of which he gave notice to the clerk; and a resolution to that effect was agreed to. Jenkins (R.) of Wisconsin reported from the same committee its unanimous report in favor of the sitting member in the con- test between Rosenthal and Crowley in the Tenth Texas District, stating that he would call it up for discussion for to-mor- row. At that time Rosenthal will be eranted the privilege of the floor for an hour to present his side of the case. A resolution reported from the Commit- tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce by Doolittle (R.) of Washington was agreed to, asking the President to trans- mit to Congress the report of the board of engineers appointed by him to investigate the Nicaragua canal. The Speaker announced the assignment of Wellington (R.) of Maryland to the Committee on Labor and of Belknap (R.) of Illinois to the Committe€ on Railways and Canals. The following bills were passed: Dircct- ing the Pension Bureau in claims by widows for pensions to accept as evidence of the soldier’s death proof of his unex- plained absence for seven years; transfer- ring to the State of Nebraska the military reservation of Fort Omaha for a school of instruction of the National Guard of that State; to reorganize the customs collection district of Alaska; to open the forest reservations of Pikes Peak, Plum Creek and the South Platte, Colorado, in the Cripple Creek district, to the location of mining claims; confirming certain cash entries of “‘offered lands” in the States of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, The House at 2 o'clock, on motion of Dingley (R.} of Maine, adjourned until to- MOrrow. COMMERCE AND RELIGION Peace Messages Prepared by the National Board of Trade. An Earnest . Hope That a Collision Between English-Speaking Nations May Be Averted. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—The National Board of Trade at its closing ses- sion to-day by a unanimous vote directed the president of the board to send a peace message to the Associated Chamber of Commerce at London, England. The mes- sage reciprocates the iriendly sentiments of English commercial bodies and ex- presses ‘the wish that commerce and re- ligion may unite to honorably avert collision between the English - speaking nations. A report from the committee on trans- portation was adopted, directing Govern- ment ownership of railways, but advocat- ing a strict uupervgsion over their oper- The report also recommends the passage of the bill now pending in'the House for funding the in- debtedness of the Pacific railroads. It was also recommended that Congress should pass a law making any employe ineligible as receiver or assignee of any corporation. The board, then, with President Fraley at its head, made a formal call upon Presi- dent Cleveland, by appointment. Mr. Stannard of St. Louis made an ad- dress to the President, explanatory of the history and objects of the board. In response, the President expressed his gratification in meeting the members of the board, and was glad to acknowledge the great usefulness of those voluntary or- ganizations whose purpose’ was to stimu- late trade, and to sdy that the day would come when the people would aporeciate their efforts. ‘William E. Tucker of Philadelphia was elected secref and treasurer to succeed the late Hamilton Andrew Hill, and the board adjourned to meet here again next year. s e DINED WITH THYX PRESIDENT.

May Be Given Railroads Without Con- sent of Indians. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—The House Committee on Indian Affairs to- day reported favorably on several bills giving railroads the rizht of way through the Indian Territory, with amendments de- creasing the amount of land allowed for terminal purposes. It was also decided hereaiter to require railroad companies to file with the Secretary of the Interior a plat of their road so tgnt companies can be required to keep to their line. It was further agreed by the committee that here- after roads should not be required to ob- tain the consect of the Indians before being granted a right of way. President Cleveland has vetoed several bills because the Indians did not fully con- sent to the right of way. The committee ciffered from him on this point and de- cided to establish a new rule, as far as they could do so. e e OPPOSED BY FURUSETH. Objections to the Bill Allowing Advance Wages to Seamen. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—A. Furuseth of San Francisco, representing the interests of sailors, to-day addressed the House Committee on Merchant Ma- rine and Fisheries in opposition to the bill allowing advance of wages to seamen and in favor of the Maguire bill, which abso- lutely probibits allotments or advances except to wife, mother, child or other de- pendent relatives. Seamen, he said, op- posed to allotments because thei were thereby permitted to sign away haif of their wages before they had earnéd them, and because the ‘‘crimping” system and many other methods injurious to Ameri- can seamen were thereby sustained, Eugene T. Chamberlain, United States Commissioner of Navigation, favored the allowance of a limited allotment. SUBMAIT A COMPROMISE Grand Army Men Ask the Ex- tension of Time on Tickets Fifteen Days. Railroads Show Little Signs of Making Concessions for the Coming Encampment. CHICAGO, Iir, Jan. 30.—The Grand Army encampment committee of St. Paul citizens has submitted to the Western Passenger Association a compromise proposition as a way out of the present trouble regarding time allowance for en- campment tickets to St. Paul. It is that the railroads make the limit for 1-cent-a- mile tickets fifteen days and give the holders of such tickets the option of having | an extension to thirty days on payment of the difference between the 1-cent rate and a one-fare rate, which is 1} cents a mile. Chairmain Caldwell, to whom the propo- sition was presented, promulgated it among the interested roads, but up to a late hour had received no replies or a call for a special meeting. stances it is not likely any further action will be taken on Grand Army matters by the roadsasa body. There was no hint to-day in railroad circles that any other line than the Great Western intended to weaken in favor of the thirty day’s exten- sion, hut the encampment is still six morths off. INDIANAPOLIS, Txp., Jun. 30.—Com- mander-in-Chief Walker of the Grand | Army of the Republic received a telegram from the Commercial Club, one of the prominent clubs of 8t. Paul, this morning, asking that he allow them more time, if possible, as they feel sure that they can secure the rates and time extension de- manded from the Western Passenger As- sociation for the next encanipment. Commander Waltker said this morning: “The meeting of the council of adminis- tration was deferred as long as possible. Under the circum- | 10 BE DECIDED BY A BIG FIGHT, Italian and Abyssinian Forces Lining Up for Battle. ANNEXATION OF TIGRE. This Will Be Determined by the Engagement That Is Scon Expected. THE ESCAPE FROM MAKALLE. Prompt Obedience Was Made to the Demand for the Release of Galliano’s Column. ROME, Itary, Jan. 80.—The Government has received advices from General Bara- teiri, commander-in-chief of the Italian forces in Abyssinia, showing that General Barateiri recently sent an Italian trader named Felter to the camp of Ras Makon- non, the chief commanding the native army. which invested the town of Makalle, demanding the release of the Italian col- umn under Colonel Galliano, which was besieged in Makalle. Felter was the messenger who arrived in Barateiri’s camp a few days ago bringing letters from Menelik, King of the Abys- simnians, for King Humbert and General Barateiri. He appears to have been suc- cessful in his mission, for the troops at Makalle were permitted to withdraw from the town without being attacked. Colonel Galliano and his column have arrived safely at General Barateiri’s camp and they will re-enforce the main body of Italians. They brought with them their cannon, munitions and baggage. At the time General Parateiri sent his dispatches to the Government the A byssi- nian army was advancing and was then within thirty kilometers of the outposts of General Barateiri’s forces. A conflict between the opposing forces was immi- nent. The Italian forces now number 28,000 men, with sixty cannon. The Abyssinian army is estimated to number 40,000 to 60,000, some thousands of whom are armed with sabers. The others have weapons of precision, including Remington and Winchester rifles, and in addition have a number of vieces of artillery which were used in the attacks on Makalle. It is the opinion in Rome that an en- gagement that will decide whether or not the province of Tigre will be annexed to the Italian colony of Erythrea will shortly be fought.
