Wholesale Murder of Cinnamon.

A horrible story comes from Seattle w. T.,
to the effect that one day last Summer an
Italian boatman, accompanied by seven China
men, left Victoria for the American side of the
Straits of Fuca. When almost across the straits
the Italian observed the United States cutter
Oliver WOlcott coming toward him, the evident
intention of the officers of the vessel being to
examine the contents of his craft. He became
alarmed, and to avoid the penalties attached to
the offense of smuggling Chinese into the
United States resolved to make away with the
evidence of his guilt. He called the Cinnamon
out of the cabin one by one, and as each man
came on deck the Italian struck him on the
head with a club and then pitched the body
overheard. In this way he got rid of the whole
number, and when officers from the cutter
boarded his boat no evidence of a eliminating
nature was found. The story is told by a
recently convicted smuggler, who is now in
the United States Penitentiary.

shots at him, one Of the balls lodging in the
spine and infiicting what is thought to be IA
tai wound. After shooting Colburn, Geretti
fled to his farm about quarter Of mile dis

He locked himself up in his house and, the

While his pursuers were celebrating Geretti

THE SOUDAN.
Hostilities Recommended Bloody Fight, Ending
in Defeat for the Rebels.

The British forces under Gen. Stephenson
defeated the rebels at Koseh, Egypt last week.
The fight lasted three hours, and resulted i'll
the capture of Giniss, village near koseh, by
the English. The rebels were completely
routed. Two guns and 20 banners were cap
tured. The English lost officer killed
and 21 men wounded. The Egyptian allies
of the British lost killed and 13 wounded.
The Arabs numbered 1000, of whom 1000 were
rifemen. They had six guns and plenty of
ammunition. The Arabs fought desperately.
Five emirs We're killed. Twenty dead Arabs
were found in one house. The rout of the reb-
els was so complete that Gen. Stephenson Is
hopeful that it will obviate the necessity for
further operations
British men-of-war have been ordered to
blockade the coast of Egypt from Massowah to
Suez, in order to prevent the importation into
the SOudan of arms and ammunition for the
Arabs
Add l-Kader Pasha Minister of War, for
merly governor of the Soudan, in a recent con-
versation on the Egyptian question, said:
IF the English retire on Wada Halfa they
must retire on Assouan, and if on Assouan,
then Cairo. Every pace in advance
gives the English hundred friends; every
pace in retiring gives them 200 enemies
half in front, half in rear. England may gain
victory after victory, but if they are followed
by retreat the English Government has use
leSSiy wasted blood. Inere is not one IN ten
who will not believe in Engand's defeat. | say
that retirement now would be fatal" When
asked whether the question was insoluble, he
replied: "No; it requires two things-frst,
fixed policy to crush rebellion; second, money.
Let England attack the enemy in force and
after the latters defeat open negotiations. With
native emissaries and money, England could de-
tach the soldiers who are now the backbone of
the rebellion, and also some tribes who are al
ways jealous of each other" When asked what
sum would be required the Minister said:
Perhaps f2,000,000 but this policy would be
the cheapest in the long run"

A Shocking Accident.

A terrible accident occurred at the Princess
Iron Furnace, in Botetourt Co., Va, last week
by which Felix Richardson, a colored employee,
met his death. The unfortunate man stuck
his head between the crossbeams of the eleva-
tor used to carry stock to the top of the shaft,
in order to give message to the foreman, just
at the moment when the heavy cage descended
The mans head was damned against beam,
breaking his neck and smashing his skull.
The obstruction stopped the elevator, and the
man below, looking up was Mortified to see the
negro's mangled head and starting eyes just
above him. The signal to raise the elevator
was instantly given, and the poor fellow
dropped back dead without groan.

Dewes Bolton, was shot by negro
at Jewellers store, Washington

been docketed in Judge Lynch's court
to await the arrest of the murderer.
Bob Taylor was elected Governor
of Tennesse. The Democrats gained
