A QUESTION OF INTEREST.

According to mail advises from Massowah, a question of great interest for Italy is the threat of certain tribes near the Atbara to pass under British domination. Several small tribes have already left the Italian colony and gone over to the English, and emigration has already begun among the important tribes of the Beni- the promises of exemption from taxes for the Amer. The causes of this emigration arc, first, first ten years on Anglo-Egyptian territory; secondly, the false rumour-of an impending withdrawal of the Italians from Erythrea thirdly, the system of collecting tributes and taxes, which is defective; fourthly, the want of a resident among the tribes, Signor Martini, who has personally visited these regions, has conferred with the chiefs of the Beni-Amer and made such arrangements that it is hoped that emigration of the beni amer and the babab tribes will not take place.
