tribal rising in Egypt is universal. The
Arabs between korosko and Assonan are
threatening to revolt. Sheikh Solimon, with
q section of the Haddendowas, who fought at
Ell Teb, will occupy the Baker Pasha fort
near Trinkitat. Osman Digma's force near
Tamamib has incrnased by $500. Only two
Sbeikhs have gone to Suaxim, and their
tribes are small. numbering less than 1900
combatants. The men and horses under
Col. Stewart, now entrenched at Handoub,
are suffering from the intense heat and
brackish water. 1t will be impossible for
them to maintain their position.
Gen. Graham has asked for an increase of
cavalry and better commissarat. He urges
an early decision. either to order an advance
against Sinkat or to withdraw to Suakim.
Three great tribes, the Hoggas, Bisharees
and Batakaherees, have risen and occupy the
Nile from Duem to Shendy. 1t is rumored
at Dohgola that the garrison under Lupton

What the Passengers Have TO Say Of

from Charles F. Dannelly, chairman of the

Of which the following is copy:
An officer of the State Board of Health

fourteen men, four women and six infants.
All the party were very thinly clad. The
men stated that the party was going 70 San
Domingo, via New York. to work on a sugar
plantation. They said they had ample funds
and desired to proceed, on arrival in Boston,
forthwith to New York, thence by steamer of
Thursday next to San Domingo. They re-
quired no money, only direction for the route.
The foregoing examination was preliminary
Further examination is delayed at the request
of Capt Gabrielson until the arrival of the

MAINE DISPATCHES.
A Bill in Equity Filed Against the Road
in the Supreme Court at Portland.

PORTLAND. March 10.
bill in equity has been filed against the
Portland & Ogdeusburg Railroad Co, in the
Supreme court at Portland, by the trustees
under mortgage of 1871 for possession of read
and appointment of receiver.
Mr.. Putnam, counsel for trustees, says the
bill in no way reflects on the management of
the road, that this movement should not cause
any security holder to part with securities at
any diminished price, that the emergency
calling for action came on very suddenly and
when the motion is heard for the appointment
by all, that the course which the trustees have
taken is prudent
The Press tomorrow morning will publish
in full the bill of equity filed in the Su-
under the mortgage of 1871, praying to be
given possession of the Portland & Ogdens-
burg and asking for the appointment of
receiver pending the proceeding under the
BILL The bill represents the road as in
condition of financial embarrassment from
which it has means of extricating itself.
The embarrassment is caused part by the
fact that so much of its earnings have been
expended improving its condition, not enough
money in the treafury to pay its employees
and in part by the fact that immediate repairs
are necessary in order, not only to enable
it to do business the coming summer, the
most profitable season, but to make the op-
Grafton safe between now and then. 1t is
set FORTH among other things, that line of
rails extending over 20 miles suddenly devel-
oped tendency to rapid deterioration, crumb-
ling away perceptabe from day to day and
requiring to be replaced Immediately. but the
company have no money and can raise none.
1t further requisite that within a short time
the whole track should be laid with steel
rails. The trustees therefore ask the court
to give them possession of the road, in order
they may proceed under the direction of the
court and by its advice in the work of re-
pairing and operating. The city of Portland
is owner of majority of the bonds issued
under the mortgage of 1871, and has con-
trolling interest. This action of the trustees
is taken with the appreciation of the mayor
and of the outside owners of these mortgage
bonds. The trustees who sign the bill are
Samuel f. Spring, Nathaniel Webb and
Weston +. Milliken.
