GREAT BRITAIN.

THE WAR IN INDIA-rHE BRITIsH TROOPS
STARVING.
LONDON, April 2s.-Telegrams from India
speak of a complete break down of the quar-
termaster and commissary departments of
the Khyber column. now at Jelalabad and
Gandamak, owing to a lack Of transportation.
The column is said to be incapacitated for
offensive operations. The garrison of Canda-
har is In very similar position. In conse-
quence of these failures the control of trans
port has been transferred from the commits
sarat to the commander of the column, the
chief fcommissary merely advising and assist
ing. This effects radical change in the Indian
military system. A Peshawur dispatch says:
Everybody, from a general down, is tired Of a
war which brings endless discomforts and
little or no glory.
THE TURKS FINANCIAL rRoUBLEs-EAsr RoU-
MELIA.
LONDON, April 2S.-The rumor that the Porte
has obtained relief from its most pressing Pc
cuniary embarrassments by raising a loan in
London on the surplus revenue of Cyprus is
unfounded. All its financial projects are still
unfruitful.
The organic statute for East Roumelia has
been approved by the Porte; but the manner
of putting 1t in operation is a question of fmuch
difficulty. The Musselmans, afraid of being
left alone with Bulgarians. are emigrating in
great numbers from Roumelia; frem $1,000 to
60,0O0 are now at atAdrianople. The Bulgarians,
afraid of the province being again occupied
by Turkish troops, are making preparations
for resistance; it is rumored that they mean to
oppose and molest even international delinea-
tion commissions.
SocIALIsTS-sTUDENTs CONVICTED.
LONDON, April 2S-The trial of three medical
students convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment for disturbing public order aud main
tanning secret injection took place in Berlin
not st. Petersburg. Their names are Gerewitz
Arohnson and Liebermann. The last named
under the alias of Arthur Freeman, was con-
nected with the leading Socialists in Europe
and America. and was on his way to Switzer-
land from Vienna, whence he had been ex-
PEELED after a months imprisonment, where
he was seized and taken to Berlin on account
of his communications with Gerew1tz and
Aronnson. His letter showed a plan for estab-
fishing in Berlin a section OF Nihllists to act as
a sort OF way station for communication be-
tween the London and st. Petersburg revolu
tionists. 1t is said the czar not only no longer
goes out without a military escort, but many
high dignitaries who have been threatened
also have escorts.

Savannah (Ga.) News.I

When will the Southern negro fully and
thoroughly learn that the greatest enemies
he has in the world are his protessed Repub-
lican friends? When will he learn that the
Republican philanthropist who, falsely and
maliciously, with streaming eyes and hands
raised piously to Heaven, tells him that he
is being bulldozed, terrorized and murdered
by wholesale in the South, is baseIy and vii
lianously deceiving him. When will he
understand that the Republican politician
cares not one iota for him any further than
he can be made tool of for Republican pur-
poses? Surely the poor negro has had. les
sons enough to have fully been taught these
painful truths. He has seen his race over
and over again victimized by thiev-
ing Radical carpet bsggers in the South. He
has had his hard earned savings, wickedly
and in cold blood, flched from him by
philanthropic Radical manipulators of the
Freedman's Savings bank. He has been
plundered and maltreated in a thousand
ways by his so-called, friends, and he has had
proven to him time and time Innume-able
that the Southern white is his only true and
staunch protector. Yet while thousands of
negroes have displayed observation-disclosures
to realize this, and are now working and
living happily and contentedly in the South,
thousands of others seem to be incapable of
learning anything, either through expert
ence or observation. And now, deluded
again by their dire and heartless foes,
they see themselves induced to leave
their native places, their congenial climate
and comfortable homes, for what? To be
abandoned to starvation, sickness and death
in bleak and freezing land, by their de
ludes who really care nothing for them
but would willingly sacrifice the lives of un-
told thousands of them, If thereby sectional
prejudice against the South could be pro-
mofed, the much dreaded Southern basis
of representation" reduced, or the aims and
ends of Radicalism in the slightest degree
subserved. 1t may be that as the Egyptians
of old refused to learn wisdom, notwith-
Standing all the dire plaques with which
they were visited, until death entered every
mans household striking down his first born,

to their Radical allies will not realize or
yield their folly until pesulence, famine

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April 2s.-After four
days entombment, the miners imprisoned at
Sugar Notch, by the fall of the root of the
mine, were released this morning. The men
sustained life by the meat of mule, which a
boy, sent to give them warning, had fortun
ately taken with him, and the stream running
through the mine gave them the needful
water. Reliefs of laborers have been con-
stantly at work night and day, and finally
they succeeded in making a channel through
a 5O-foot block of coal. The men suffered lit.
tie from confinement, and they and their
rescuers were loudly cheered as they reached
