Tonquin mhairs EMERTO

If this be the position of affairs, the future course of events in Tenquin be comes doubly interesting. It is now certain that France intends to carry out the work she has mapped out for herself there, and it is equally certain she will find her task a far more dificult one than it was thought to be when reports were recently circulated here antidg that an arrangement had been concluded with the Black Fings, under which the opposition to the operations of tha French in Tonquio would cease. If such an arrangement was concluded it has apparently ended in smoke. Pos- sibly the whole report, had no better foundation" than that the French Ad- mimi had requested the Angubrese,qu« thorities to take any steps they could to. lessen the opposition to the Franch operations in Tonquin, and these Anna.. uese officiate, poor souls, bound to do anything which Admiral Courbet, who had just cantared their forts, bid them. sent off oficial despatches to the Black Fings, requesting them to cesto drhting the French and to retire to their homes.
