The Siamese Treaty has been signed. It is stated that Prince Bismarck has sold his memoirs for £25,000, but they are not to be published till after his death. I is reported that Prince Bismarck is in a critical condition. News has been received in Madrid that 5000 Moors attacked the Spanish garrison, 300 strong, at Melilla, a seaport town on the north coast of Morocco, belonging to the Spaniards. The engagement lasted all day, and the Spanish were defeated, many being killed. Arrangements are being made to despatch reinforcements from Malaga, in Southern Spain. The fighting at Melilla arose through the Spaniards building a fort in the vicinity of an Arab cemetery. A hundred Spaniards were wounded. A truce is now declared. A collision between the Matabele impi and the Chartered Company's forces is imminent.
