Indian Outbreak stopped.
DUBLIN, Oct. 2i.-Authentic news re.
ceived at headquarters here confirm
the report that General Crook has ef-
fectually stopped the Indian outbreak
that at one time seemed inevitable at
San Carlos. Vhe report of the grand
jury at Tucson shows incessant and la
boriOus work which has been performed
by General Crook since he has assumed
command in Arizona. He has been
constantly travelling from one point to
another, holding conferences with diff
ferent Indian tribes. He first discov-
cred that frauds were being practised
at San Carlos. and discomfort existed
amongst the different bands on that ac-
count, and through his action checked
what promised on his arrival at the re-
servatiOn to be another long and bloody
war. Reports received at the military
headquarters confirm the entire report
of the United States Grand Jury.
A False Prophet Arlsea.
CAIRO. Oct. M.-The ministry are in
dustriously representing that the reports
of the renewal of disturbances in Sou
dan are unfOunded, while they have
been in possession of messages in re-
gard to the disturbances for the last
three days. The Soudan movement has
no connection with Arabi's rising. The
false prophet announces mis- intention
of invading the country, but has not
yet advanced beyond KartOum. He
has several regiments Of Nubians. Pro-
fessor Sohweinfurth has communicated
the following from Soudan: Last
June 6OOO Egyptian soldiers were sur.
rounded by the troops of the false pro-
phet and massacrsd." Schweinfurth
declares the situation in Soudan dwarfs
the revolt into insigniicance.
Most alarming news has been received
from Khartoum. The false prophet at
the head of the whole able-bodied pOpu-
lation of tn Soudan, reinforced by
some cannibal tribes of Central Africa,
has publicly detied Abdel Kader and
defeated the Egyptian Governors in
several sanguinary pitched battles. The
Egyptian loss in killed and wounded
was 5000. with their stands of arms, in
clnding 5000 Remingtons. The rem
nant Ct the Egyptian army took refuge
in kartoum and is now besieged there.
All the provinces south of that city are
lost to Egypt.
News Of the capture of Kartoum is
daily expected.
It is stated that the capital of KardO-
fan has been besieged for thirty days;
its capture is expected. An attack on
Kaitoum will follow.
The false prophet permits the pour
ing of boiling tallow into the eyes and
ears Of his captives, and otherwise
fiendishly tortures them. These man.
eaters, in some cases, actually devour
their prisoners for refusing to recognize
him as the true prophet and Calf. DIR.
Schweinfurth assures me that there is
movement for the real revival of Islam,
comprising Afghanistan and Morocco,
and the doctor is sure that the move
ment will embrace Vahtar. The false
prophets adherents increase like wild
fire, and the prophet himself is said to
be marching toward Cairo. Great
weight is due the opinion of Schwein
furth, but believe the Chinese Jordon
