FOREIGN DISPATCHES.
The Wars of the Old World.
THE FBEKCH nETKEATIXO.
Paeis, April 1. General Briere de
Lisle telegraphs from Hanoi, under
date of yesterday: "After a fresh en
counter with tho -enemy at Donp
Hone, yesterday evemncr, ueneral
Herhincer continued to retreat in
good order along the Kep and Deo
quam routes. General Xegrier's pres
ent condition is favorable. After see
inghimlhopo to rejoin the second
brigade in defense of the rivers."
The war office has received a dis
patch from General de Lisle, com
mander of the French forces in Ton-
qnin. statinc that Chinese in large
numbers are continually harrassing
the French troops in their retreat
from Langson.
Pabis, April 1 A dispatch dated
Hanoi this morning states that tho
situation of the French army there is
critical. A large Chinese force, un
der European leaders, the dispatch
says, is endeavoring to cut off the
French retreat. General JMegner nas
arrived at Hanoi. He is making good
progress toward recovery' from his
wound. The people at Hanoi are
calm.
Paris, April 1. M. Ferry to-day
handed President Grevy a dispatch
which he had just received, stating
the Chinese government had accepted
lorry s proposals for peace, aud
wished to fix a date for the evacua
tion of positions now occupied by Chi
nese. The dispatch was dated subse
quent to the defeat of the French
forces.
BCSSIA IS WIIibTXa.
London, April L Tho Fall Mull
Gazttte this afternoon states that
Russia's answer to England's propos
al on the Afghan question amounts
to a cordial acceptance of the pro
posals as made by Earl Granville,
British foreigh minister. The Gazette
says Russia consents to accept as de
batable territory the zone laid out
as such by England and accepts the
principle that the frontier line shall
not be drawn further south than
Karezelias and Chameniebid or fur
ther north than Shirtepe and Sari
yozi. This leaves as the only point
still to be discussed, the Russian sug
gestion that it would be more practi
cable if tho zone of survey overlapped
or 'roughly 'defined the zone of de
batable land in order to allow for
topographical or ethnographical con
ditions not expected. This suggested
extension of the zone of survey, as it
would carry tho zono to the south of
tho boundary line run by TiL Lessar,
the Russian commissioner appointed
to meet Sir Peter Lumsden, British
commibsioner, to arrange the Afghan
boundary dispute, may yot prove se
rious enough. The Gazette thinks
this will cause further difficulty.
TO BE ATTACKED.
London, April 1. A later dispatch
from Sankem says it is expected the
British attack upon Tamai will be
made to-morrow. Tho Murafc tribe",
3,000 strong, have offered to submit to
the British.
SAUKEif, April L The troops at
General McNeill's zereba will march
out at daybreak to construct -a zereba
three miles nearer TamaL They will
be supported by a detachment of cav
alry, 'l'ho troops from General Gra
ham's camp will then move to the
first zereba and the whole British
force will attack Tumai Saturday.
There appears to be about 12,000
Arabs between Aasheen and Tamai.
ASPINWALL IN ASHES.
Washington, April 1. The follow
ing dispatch from Commander Kane
of the Galena has just been received
by the secretary of the navy: "Aspiu
wall is in ashes, burnt by the insur
gents to escape capture by the gov
ernment troops. The Pacific Mail
dock and railroad property on the
north end of the island, and canal
property at Crispol, aro the only
buildings saved. Shipping safe. Have
all my force on shore protecting prop
erty. My ship is crowded with refu
gees. Thousands are destitute and
without shelter."
New York, April L A dispatch re
ceived at the office of the Panama
railroad company in this city, gives
the following account of tho destruc
tion of the city of Colon, or Aspin
wnll: . "The revolutionists have de
stroyed Colon by fire. Tho wharf of
the Pacific mail steamship company
is the only one that remains standing.
Shops and property on the beach
were saved. Stop all freights. We
need six wharf building gangs, mate
rial for construction of wharfs, pile
drivers, etc. Charter a steamer and
supply us with ample provisions to
sustain gangs while at work. Com
munication with Panama entirely cut
off."

GUITEAU'S CURSES.
A LNtor Some of the Fntnlitir That Ftl
lowvd Them.
Charles H. Reed, who assisted Al.
Schofield in the defense of Gnitean,
has for the third lime asked congress
for an appropriation of 3,000 in pay
ment for such services, without suc
cess. Almost everybody who had
anything to da with the trial on
either side has seen more or less ill
fortune since. Some of the fatalities
and distresses that have visited many
of those who wcro connected with
the trial on cither side has seoa more
or brought in contact in any way
with the assassin, present remarkable
coincidences when his predictions,
spiteful and maniac like ejaculations
and cnrse3 arc called to mind It i?
not the least striking of these coin
cidences that the Republican party
was defeated last fall. In one of
Guiteau's moments of real or as
sumed passion, not long before his
execution, he held his biblo high in
air and vith his oyes rolling and
teeth gnashing said that the party
was doomed and that the last Repub
lican president was serving. At the
same time he pronounced some ram
bling maledictions against President
Arthur, in which he asserted that his
partv would repudiate him and nom
inate Blaiue aud then be swept ont of
existence.
At another lime, when he was al
most foaming with passion, he shout
ed: "Aly inspired act prevented an
outbreak of war, and when yon have
murdered me yon will find it out." It
has been noticed by some people here
as a coincidence worth noticing, be
cause so striking, that but for Presi
dent Arthur's peremptory change of
Mr. Blaine's policy which the secre
tary of state insisted was Garfield's
policy--there was more than even
chance that we should have had a
war with Chile. Many thought so, at
least, among them the president him
self. Another curious coincidence many
find between Guiteau's prediction
that his act would put a stop to fac
tional fighting iu the Republican par
ty and the actual cessation of the
hot conflict that was waged when he
fired his pistol.
The list of fatalities to those who
The district attorrjv5phomlimtean's
vocabulary was exhausted to enrse,
has been grievously ntliicted. The
sudden death of his wife, his practi
cal suspension during the star routo
trials and the loss of his office are the
chief misfortunes, though by no
means the only ones that have befall
en him since tho trial. Two of the
officers who had Gnitean in charge
have died, one having been murdered.
Of the jury that convicted him, one
has died, one has been in an insane
asylum, two have failed in business
and some of the rest havo seen noth
ing but trouble since the verdict was
rendered. The judge who sentenced
Guiteau was the owner of a hotel
building that, without warning, col
lapsed one night last summer, killing
several people and causing a heavy
pecuniary loss. One of the physi
cians who testified that Guiteau was
sane was afterwards murderously at
tacked by an insane patient; another
had serious legal trouble, whilo the
noted alienist who insisted that the
assassin was not responsible for his
act, died suddenly in the prime of
life, and with an eneviablo and in
creasing reputation as a specialist.
The domestic troubles of Mr. Scoville,
tho brother-in-law who defended Gni
tean, developed at last into a public
scandal, followed by a divorce. Dr.
Woodward s death was hastened, it is
believed, by the nervous strain caused
by his attendance ou the dving presi
dent, while Dr. Bliss, who suffered
very greatly in health by reason of
the sleepless care of uarheld, found
after the president's death that his
practice was scattered and had to
meet other embarrassments. Marshal
Henry, who had Guiteau in charge,
was removed from office not long atter
in some disgrace, whilo Garfield's
steward, Crump, laid the foundation
for organic diseases by Jus faithful
nursing of the president, and other
misfortunes were entailed, so that he
had nt last to elk out a living by keep
ing a cheap restaurant in a basement.
In viecr of such a list as this, tho
superstitious find a good deal of food
for comment
Toush Old Soldier.
There are various forms of dys
pepsia, chiefly acute aud chronic.
"Acute" may seize yon in a moment,
in the shape of a sudden fit of indi
gestion. "Chronic" keeps its victim
in perpetual puin and worry. Even
old Chronic can be rooted oat by
Brown's Iron Bitters. Mr. I. L
Cavins, of Dinwiddie, Va., says,
"Brown's Iron Bitters made me en
tirely well of dyspepsia of twenty
years' standing." If it will do such
a wonder as that, what will it do for
your comparatively recent case?
