ABYSSINIANS CHIPPING IN.
The " Pall Mall Gazette " states that 3000 Senegalese troops, under French officers, are entering the western portion of the Bahr-el-Ghazal—the territory above Fashoda, between French Congo and the Nile, to which France has lately laid claim. The adviser of King Menelik, of Abyssinia, in Paris, says that 15,000 Abyssinian troops are in the vicinity of Fashoda prepared to support the French.
It is reported in Rome that France, at the instigation of Russia, is merely temporising over the Fashoda incident in order to afford the Abyssinian troops time to reach Fashoda.
The War Office has ordered 200 6-inch wire guns.
