KINGSTON, Jamaica, Oct. 26.-Accouuts from

part of the coolies resulted in the death of FIVE

in difficulty about wages. One of the coolies
was arrested, and when about to be tried, his
associates, armed with cutlasses and cudgels,
took possession of the estate, drove off the
blacks and threatened to kill the oversecrs.
When the police arrived the coolies became very
defiant and finally attacked the officers, who
fired upon them with the result stated.

this disease are left very weak, even after
all symptoms Of disease have passed off, and
exposure or hard work will tend to bring on
relapse, which should be guarded against.
Very few horses were seen in the streets yes
terday, and if the present unfavorable weather
should continue during to-day, the prospect is
that the various make-shifts for the transporta-
ton of goods about the city will be multiplied in
number and variety. The prevalence of the
disease will doubtless have the effect to lessen
the number of voters at the polls on Tuesday,
as many aged or infrm persons will be deprived
of means of conveyance to the voting places.
