Sever* Fighting in Afrlee.
London, Feb. 25—Advices from
Rear Admiral Bereaford, In oommanc
of the Oape of Good Hope and the West
Africa statloD, who has been oo oper-
ating with the land forces of the Brit
teh expedition on the Brass river on
the Qninea coast confirms the report
of severe fighting in that looallty. The
admiral adds that LleutenaDt Taylor of
the Royal navy and two men were kill
ed and five wounded during the en
gagement. The British advanced np
the Brass river February 23, and de-
stroyed a number of war canoes. Many
natives wer< killed and the main body
retreated Into tbe Interior.
The following day the British ad-
vanced farther inland and after sharp
fighting captured and burned tbe na
tlve town of Nimbi. The natives who
lost heavily fied from NimM to Bas*
sous, followed by the British, who
shelled the last named town, but did
not proceed any further Inland.
Sir Claude McDonald, who person
ally direoted the expedition, then sent
an nltimatnm to the rebels that unless
they surrendered and gave up the pris-
oners oaptured at Akassa a month ago
farther attaok would be made on them
A later dispatoh from Admiral Berea-
ford says the British expedition oon
slated of the gun boats Widgeon and
Thrush and two steamers belonging to
the Niger protectorate and flagship St.
George,
On February 21 rebels in twenty fire
war canoes attacked the British force
at Sacrifice Island, bat the fire of the
natives was ineffective and three war
canoes were sank after whioh the rest
of them retired.
The following day the intricate chan-
nels of the Brass river were buoyed and
the creek reoonnoitered.
“At daybreak, February 23,” contin-
ues Admiral Beresford's dispatoh, “we
commenced the attack and after an
obstinate defense of the position whioh
was naturally difficult, a lauding was
gallantly effeoted and Nimbi was oom-
pletely[bnrned. The foroe was with-
drawn on the evening following, Bfter
the residence of King Koko and the
louses of other chiefs had been de-
stroyed.”
A dispatoh reoeived from Admiral
Jere'ford this evening says Fishtown,
another town on Brass liver, Africa,
was destroyed by the British expedi-
tionary foroe today. The admiral
adds: “Brass chiefs and people impli
oated in the attaok upon AkaBsa have
now been punished and no farther op-
erations are contemplated.”

China Deslrom of Peace.
London, Feb. 25—A dispatoh to the
Times from Tien Tain says Rev. Gil-
bert Reid of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Presbyterian ohnroh in the
United States has privately interview-
ed members of the grand oonnoil at
?ekin. all of whom reoeived him in a
courteous manner, and all of whom
expressed themselves strongly desir-
ous of peace with Japan. The audi-
ence the viceroy has had with the em
peror of China is reported as of a sat-
'sfaotory nature. The Pekin govern-
ment has not taken any decisive ao-
tion regarding the reorganization of
the army, owing to the obstrnotive
taotlos of Chinese officials. Colonel
^on Hannekin has intimated he has
definitely withdrawn from the task of
reorganizing the Chinese troops be-
cause his preliminary conditions were
not compiled with and beoanse the ad-
visors of the emperor have failed to
grasp the true onuses of the military
collapse of the Chinese empire.
