« Nisy tokoa ireo taranaka mpiray tsikombakomba tamin’ny mpanjanatany efa hatrany amin’ny taona 40 sy 50 tany, nandevona sy nanao izay hampandamoka ny tena fitiavan-tanindrazana teto, »

Tsy hoe vao hatramin’ny « taona 40 sy 50 » no nisy ny MPAMADIKA niray « tsikombakomba tamin’ny mpanjanantany » tany fa : vantany vao lasa zanatany Frantsay i Madagasikara ary TALOHANY AZA dia EFA izy ireo ihany ireto TANDAPA tao Anatirova nifampiraharaha mangingina tamin’ny Frantsay namadika an-dRanavalona faha-3 sy namporisika ny PM Rainilaiarivony tsy hamela ny manamboninahitra anglisy, Colonel St Leger SHERVINTON, nitokiany ka nafarany manokana, hitarika ny ady sy ny tafika Malagasy.

CHAPTER X
SEDITION IN THE CAPITAL (pp 160,161)
A few days after my arrival an OMINOUS INCIDENT, quite without precedent here, spread dismay throughout the capital. SEDITIOUS PLACARDS WERE POSTED ON THE CHURCH DOORS, and A LETTER was left AT THE GATE OF THE PALACE, despite the fact that a number of soldiers guarded all the approaches. THESE DOCUMENTS CALLED UPON THE PEOPLE TO PUT THE QUEEN, the Prime Minister, and their relations TO DEATH, AND TO WELCOME THE FRENCH AS THEIR TRUE FRIENDS .

This MANIFESTO ON THE PART OF THE FRENCH PARTY was THE FIRST OPEN SIGN of the WIDE-SPREAD CONSPIRACY which ULTIMATELY PLACED MADAGASCAR AT THE MERCY OF THE INVADER. Several arrests of suspected people were made about this time, but THE GOVERNMENT WAS RETICENT ON THIS SUBJECT.[...] there were no gatherings of the population, SAVE in the numerous churches, AT THOSE FREQUENT PRAYER-MEETINGS IN WHICH THE HOVAS TAKE SO KEEN A DELIGHT.

An observer of the situation in Antananarivo at that period could not fail to REGARD THE GOVERNMENT WITH feelings of INDIGNATION and CONTEMPT, while ENTERTAINING PITY and sympathy FOR THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE who, READY TO MAKE A STRUGGLE FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE, were to be ruthlessly SACRIFICED BY THEIR RULERS. It was OBVIOUS to the Europeans in the capital that, WHILE PROFESSING A POLICY OF HEROIC RESISTANCE, THE HOVA MINISTERS COULD SCARCELY HAVE DONE MORE TO FURTHER THE FRENCH CAUSE HAD THEY BEEN THE ASTUTEST AGENTS OF THE ENEMY. THE DEFENCE WAS A SHAM , and was not likely to stay the invading columns for a day [...]

THE FRENCH PARTY (pp.162, 163)

The majority of the Hovas detested the French, were loyal to their Queen, and, if properly led, would perhaps have fought for her.
THE LEADING MEN, HOWEVER, HAD NOT THE PATRIOTISM TO FORGET THEIR PETTY JEALOUSIES even at such a juncture, and THE DEFENCE WAS COMPLETELY PARALYSED by divided counsels.

But something far MORE CULPABLE than lack of patriotism was also to blame for THE NEGLECT OF ALL ORDINARY MILITARY PRECAUTIONS on the part of the rulers of the land.

It was WELL KNOWN that AN INFLUENTIAL PARTY HAD BEEN BOUGHT OVER BY BRIBES, in one shape or the other, TO DO ALL IT COULD TO SERVE THE FRENCH CAUSE ; it included some of the QUEEN’S RELATIONS and her more IMMEDIATE ADVISERS who jealously guarded the Royal presence and prevented all who might give her timely warning from obtaining access to her.[...].There can be no doubt that THE VERY REGIMENTS THAT GUARDED THE PALACE WERE AT THE DISPOSAL OF THIS FACTION, and were kept READY TO CRUSH ANY ATTEMPT AT REVOLUTION.

The leaders of the more patriotic party were fully aware that the INDEPENDENCE OF THEIR COUNTRY HAD BEEN SOLD, but they could do nothing. They lived in DAILY DREAD OF ASSASSINATION, and they were unable to combine or even to exchange confidences, for NONE KNEW WHETHER HIS NEAREST RELATIVE OR FRIEND MIGHT NOT BE ONE OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN SECRETLY BOUGHT OVER. The HOVAS possess some amiable qualities, but they are a PROVERBIALLY TIME-SERVING and TREACHEROUS people. ’How can you English trust any of us ?’exclaimed one to a friend of mine. ’Why ! WE NEVER TRUST ONE ANOTHER .’ [...]
