Particulars of the skirmish at suakim.

LONDON, Feb. 4-Colonel Freemantle,
commander OF the forces at suakim, tele-
graphs the War Office additional particulars
concerning yesterdays skirmish between the
Hussars and hostile Arabs, near Handoub.
The troops Hussars and troop of Egyptians
were sent TO make a reconnaissance. They
svcceeded in getting as far as Handoub and
were compelled to fight their way back.
This was evidently because on their way
to HaDdoub the troops burned native viii
lage. In returning TO Suakim the recono;-
iering party found the Arabs IN ambush at
Khar, two miles from Handoub. The Arabs
kept up such deadly fire that the troopers
could not face il, and were compelled to
gallop a considerable distance round the
enemy. During this attack and fight, three
Egyptians and eight Hussars were lost.
Colonel Freemanile says the officer in
command of the troops exceeded mis-
authority in burning the native village.
in revenge for which, evidently, the attack
from ambuscade was made. Colonel Free
mantle reports that despite the fact that the
troops we're compelled to gallop away from
the enemy, the retreat was signalzed by sew
eral acts of bravery on the part of the Hus-
sars. Lieutenant Gregory, during the fight,
picked up from the ground, in succession,
two hussaTs whose horses had bean shot, and
saved one by carrying him from the field
Lieutenant Stafford saved the other.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 4.-"It is coming home
to u.s." was the expression frequently heard
to-day in commenting upon the shooting Of
O'Donovan Rossg, in New York, and the
dynamite explosions there during
the past few days. Should one
or two more demonstrations occur
soon in this country at the hands Of the
Fenians there will be a lot OF very badly
scared statesmen here. Already there Is
much nervousness, aud fear is growing that
the sympathizers with England or the de-
nouncers OF the British laws may be attacked
with dynamite or the knife. Men of pro-
nounced views on the subject now feel no
safety, be they for or against either country.
Both sides, it is feared, will now resort to
violence.
The work of the dynamiters in Chicago
and the expressions of the Irish Americans
in this city, coupled with the decisive
movements of the plotters in New York, are
all regarded with good deal OF apprehen-
sion by property owners, too. 1t is feared in
fnsncsal circles that a few hurries more
will depress the value OF all properties in
the large cities which are susceptible to de-
struction; also that panic will be forced in
real estate.
IT is said that representative Trshmen who
indcrse the dynamite work, and who oppose
the steps Congress has taken in the matter,
have waited upon Mr.. Cleveland, and that
others will do so, and ere protesting against
Senator Bayard for a Cabinet position. 1t is
further stated that there are men here v no
are watching every member who ia talking
upon the subject of dynamite, and that
those who oppose bitterly the explo-
sions occurring and the mode of warfare
Ireland is generally conducting will be
spotted and efforts made year hence TO de-
fest them for denomination. 1t is proposed
to use dynamite and to close the mouths of
those who would denounce its use. The
revolutionists expect to measure political as
well as metallic swords with their enemies.

MRS. DUDLEY.
Her Antecedents Further investigated.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Forther investigation
into Mrs DuGley's sntecedents in England
shows that when she learned that she had
been deceived by a mock marriage to
person in the south OF England, she be-
came msd, but declined to prosecute her
betrayer. Persons intimately acquainted
with her say that her love for her children
was intense: that for long time after their
death she daily visited their graves, and
would lie on the mounds for hours fran
tically sppealing TO the children to come
back 10 her. Rev. Meyrick, Chaplain of
Millbank Prison, where Mrs. Dudley WAS
incaTcersted for short time on the charge
OF attempting suicide by poisoning, in an In.
terview TO day, said: "While Mrs. Dudley
was in MiIlbsnk Prison she suffered from
insomnia and took narcotics to produce
sleep She affected madness. She was gen.
erous and impulsive, benevolent, and ever
helped sufferers in the institution. At one
time she formed a scheme for nursing the
children OF the poor go that their mothers
should be enabled to hire ont for the day"
On January last Mrs. Dudley wrote me
from New York:

"She offered in a letter TO pay the passage
of a fTIendless orphan from England 70

White Regulators Purifying the Morals of
Fairfield County. :. e.

\ full account is published Of the recent
doings OF bands Of white regulators in Fair
field county, South Carolina, showing that
their motive is determination to abolish
miscegcnation. Last July the regulators,
composed of the best young men OF the !
county, visited farm near Ridgeway,
where lived a family named Boyles, one of
the daughters living openly with a negro
man. Two of the others kept disreput-
able house for negroes. The regulators
whipped Boyles, his wife and two daugh.
ters, and warned them to leave the county
in ten days. Boyles begged to be allowed
to harvest his crop, and on account OF pow
erty he was given leave to do SO, but in the
meantime, the original order being dis.
obeyed, the regulators gave the family an
other whipping. Next the regulators
visited parties between Ridyeway and
Winnesboro and whipped them badly.
Lloyd Davis, who has negro mistress,
was next visited, He got away. His
household furniture was badly broken up
and his colored family warned to quit
! Tom Davis, the richest merchant in Ridge
way, reported worth $4,000, was given ten
days notice to quit, because he had negro
mistress and family. He left his business
in charge of his clerks and put out for Mis-.
sissippi. Ross Williams, living on the
other side Of Ridgeway with a negro wo.
man, was visited and showed fight, but was
severely whipped, as was his mistress, and
ordered to leave. About ten families, all
mixed, have felt the power Of the regulat.
ors thus far. The excuse the regulators
give is that the grand jury does not take
cognizance Of those living in open adul
terry, because it is SO hard 10 prove the ex
istence Of such fact. The people could
not be reached by law and SO it was de-
ter,nined to reach them outside Of the law
The chief offenders, whether warned o,
not, are dissolving their establishments ane
