THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE VIGOROUS.
From time to time intelligence reaches
England from the Soudan which leaves no
room to doubt that the African slave trade
continues to be in vigorous operation in
that country. 1t is, indeed, stated that
no fewer than 80, 600 or 60, 600 negroes are
still annually conveyed to the Turkish
and Egyptian ports of the Red Sea. where
they are disposed of to dealers from all
parts of the Sultan's dominions. Yet it is
unquestionable that in 1879 Colonel Cor
don dealt what promised to be DEATH
blow to the slave trade in the Soudan. His
Lieutenant, Gessi Pashs, who has lately
suffered terrible hardships, fought and
beat the slave traders in pitched
battle, in which they, relying upon
superior numbers, made the first
attack. Gessi Pasha inflicted crushing
defeat upon the slave traders, and liberated
immense numbers of slaves. If Colonel
Gordon had been properly supported by
Tewfik Pasha, there is reason to believe
that the slave trade would have been driven
out of the Soudan. Since his departure
his old enemies have to a great extent re-
gained their former influence, and have
succeeded in reviving on a large scale the
traffic in negroes. 1t is quite true that
that traffic cannot be effectually sup
pressed until domestic slavery is abolished
in Egypt but yet Colonel Gordon's expert
ence shows that by the adoption of Wig
orous policy the number of victims may be
greatly diminished, and the trade rendered
both hazardous and Improbable. Lon

the horses are in fine condition. They will
take the field at once on their arrival at Cum

bres mountains. Two other companies, num-
bering nearly one hundred, will leave on
Monday for Fort Craig, and are ordered to
scout on the San Mateo, and another on the
Socorro mountains. after some hostile Mes.
caleros, who are reported to have killed two
miners near Grafton, ten days ago. Nana's
main band, numbering about sixty, who
crossed the Mexican line into Sonora, are be-
ing pursued by Dimmick and Taylor's de-
tachments. General Pope will be here on the
1st OF September. and arrangements will be
made to successfully guard against Indian
raids, and protect life and property.
Nana's band of Apaches, after hard
fight before the soldiers, succeeded in cross

gan, the soldiers have engaged the indians in
fifteen fights.

Smith, who was killed near Mutt Station, fell
into the hands of the Indians and was hor-
ribly mutilated. A squaw cut off his nose
and lips, slashed bis face and severed several
other members from his body A band of
Indians, which has just crossed the line, is
thoeght to be the main force, but there are

The Feast Of San Auyus,ine.


Tucson, August 27th.-The feast of San
Augustine commenced here tonight, and will
continue for two weeks or more. The entire
gambling fraternity of the Territory are here,
including the Benson top-aud-bottom gam
blers. The police force has been largely aug
mented, the detachment at the grounds being
under the command of Tom Gates, and the
first break made by any of the roughs win be
suppressed with dispatch. No trouble is an.
ticipated. The festivities are INDUCED in to
excess by the Mexican population, particu-
larly their national dances, which they vigor-
ously work at all night. San Augustine is
the patron saint of Tucson, and the occasion
is appropriately observed by the Catholic
Church here, which, however, has no connec-
ton with the hilarious feast being conducted
beyond the city limits. The feast grounds
resemble the grounds Of an ordinary county
fair, and tonight are being visited by the en-
tire native and foreign population of Tucson.
