THE FRENCH AND THE TUNISIANS
Paris, April 26. The discordant relations which have existed some time past between the French and Tunisian Governments have now x’esulted in open hostilities. Telegrams from Algeria report that a French man-of-war opened a heavy bombardment upon the Island of Tubarka, situated near the coast, at the western exti’emity of Tunisian territory, completely destroying the town ; they subsequently landed a body of troops. Further telegrams have been received from Algeria, reporting that the French troops are I’apidly advancing on Tunis. A severe fight has occurred with the Tunisians at Cromiss.
