Change of fLeaders-Baker Pasha Given
 Command in the sOudan.
 LONDON, Dec 1O.-The recent disasters ln the Soudan has led to a change in command and Mahmoud Taher has been superseded by Baker Psshs, who hopes to get his troops into Suakim before they have been over whelmed or before the section of Fl Mahdi's s forces which has consistently attacked the place for fortnight can effect it's cap ture. The officer who commanded the five hundred men of Baker Pssha's command who followed the small party of soldiers who escaped from the slaughter at the battle of Tomanich De- cenber 2nd into Suakim bore with him the order recalling Mahmoud Pasha as soon as the change could be arranged without danger. Meanwhile Mahmoud retains the command under instructions to remain inactive until the arrival of Baker Pasha and to cooperate with him. It is believed the change has been made in accordance with General Ba- ker's strong opposition to making Suakim the center of operations in the Soudan as had been intended by the Turkish general.

A Terrific Boiler ExpIOsiOn-The Result
 of the Engineers CareIessness.
 WARSAW, Dec. 10.-At Claypool, town eight miles south of here, the boiler of the large steam saw mill suddenly burst at II o'clock this morning with a tremendous re- port that was heard for miles. The roof and sides of the mill were rent and pierced by fragments of the exploded boiler. Five men at work in the mill were killed one or two of them being hurled against beams, logs and timbers by the violence of the explosion. Several others were more or less wounded Pieces of the boiler were thrown through the roof and carried one hundred yards. By some csrelessness of the engineer the water had got low and when more was injected it rose over the red hot lining and instantly generated steam until the pressure was too great for the iron to withstand.
 The names of the killed are: John Haddix, head and arm torn of; Harrison Samsey, carried one hundred feet away. and William Boomer. Two other men were injured, per- hRps fatally.

The Plots Of Invincibles-A Horrible
 Story Told by an InfOrmer.
 DUBLIN, Dec. 1O.-In the Smythe murder trial to day McKeon, one of the fourteen per sons originally indicted for conspiracy to murder, but who subsequently, informed and was granted immunity, testified that the Dublin Invincibles had founded a society whose object was murder. The headqusr- ters of this society was at Westmeath. A list of victims was compiled and certain mem bers assigned to the work of putting out of the way such persons as were from time to time condemned by the society. McKeons testimony implicated Elliott and others in this conspiracy. The cross-sxamination weakened his story somewhat, but to the most important points he stoutly adhered. McKeon was still in the witness box when the court adjourned and his examination will be resumed tomorrow.
