Excerpt from Madagascar and France: With Some Account of the Island, Its People Its Resources and Development
At the same time the Government has retained its hold on all the tribes, making its arm felt in quelling rebellion and enforcing the laws of the country in the extreme points of its dominion.
Reports from the scene of action are, as might be expected, very contradictory. On the one side we hear of French reconnaissances, in which the enemy have been routed with great loss, with only a trifling casualty on the part of the invaders; while from the other camp we hear that again and again the attacking party has been repulsed with heavy losses, the injury suffered by the Malagasy being insignificant.
