SAGALLO , a small See also:

settlement on the See also:north See also:shore of the Gulf of Tajura, See also:French See also:Somaliland. A dismantled fort built by the Egyptians (who occupied the See also:place between 1875 and 1884) is the most prominent See also:object. In See also:January 1889 Sagallo was occupied by a Cossack See also:chief named Achinov, who was accompanied by the See also:archimandrite Paisi and some 200 See also:people, including priests, See also:women and See also:children. Paisi had been entrusted. by the See also:metropolitan of See also:Novgorod with an evangelistic See also:mission to the Abyssinian See also:Church; while Achinov stated that he had a See also:commission from the See also:Negus for the See also:purchase of arms and See also:ammunition. The presence of Achinov at Sagallo (where he occupied the fort, which he found deserted) was regarded by the French See also:government as an invasion of French territorial rights. The See also:Russian See also:foreign See also:office having disavowed (7th of See also:February) any connexion with Achinov, instructions were sent from See also:Paris to secure the removal of the See also:Cossacks. On the 17th of February French warships appeared off the See also:port, and an See also:ultimatum was sent to Achinov calling on him to surrender, but without effect. The fort was bombarded, and seven persons killed, two being women and four children. The Cossacks then surrendered, not having fired a shot. They were subsequently deported to See also:Suez, whence they returned to See also:Russia. Achinov was interned by the Russian government for some months (until See also:October 1889). In 1891 he returned to See also:Abyssinia.

Paisi was promoted by his ecclesiastical superiors. In Paris the. incident caused See also:

great excitement amongst the Russophils, and the consequent demonstrations led to the suppression of the See also:League of Patriots and the See also:prosecution of M. See also:Paul Derpulede. See L'Archimandrite Paisi et l'Ataman Achinoff, by vicomte de Constantin (Paris, 1891).
