NUEvo LAREDO, Mex, Dec. ~
About noon to-day a stranger in this city
named Sadinas Acosta stabbed and killed
his paramount, Mannella Ortez. He was
arrested almost Immediately by mounted
police and jailed. Both parties are from
the City of Mexico, and it is said that the
man became jealous of attentions paid his
mistress by parties in Nuevo Laredo, and
in fit of anger took her life. AS the
ways of justice are not so devious in Mex
leo as they are in the United States, in all
probability he will be shot within 4

SLAVE TRADE AGREEMENT.
LONDOS, Dec. PA Zanzibar dis
patch says 1t has been discovered that an
agreement in relation TO slave dealing
exists between the English East Africa
Company and the sultan of Zanzibar and
the Arab slave dealers of Manbaza. BY
this agreement the Arabs are authorized
to carry on the trade i'll slaves and to
fog or otherwise punish them. The
company upon hiring slaves must make
an arrangement with the own
ers. The wages of the slaves
must be paid to the owners.
The English mission stations are obliged
under the agreement to return runaway
slaves to their owners. After the agree
ment had been signed the agents of the
company, Mr.. Mckenzie and General
Matthews, accompanied by Il number of
Manbaza Arabs went to Il Rabul church
mission station and demanded
the surrender of certain run
Always who had taken re-
fuge at the station. The missionaries
refused to give them up. The company
agents therefore in order to avoid col
lision paid SIS for each slave they were
unable to return to the owners. The
English consul issued Il proclamation
warning all British subjects III Zanzibar
that they will be liable to seven years i'm
prisonment if they enter into contracts
for slave labor. British traders have
made united protest against the order.
They say slave labor is the only kind
of labor obtainable in Zanzibar and
that if this is cut off all
work must be stopped. In view of this
protest the consul will suspend the en-
forcement of the proclamation pending
instruction from. Lord Salisbury. The
secretary of the English East Africa Com
pany denies the authenticity of the story
from Zanzibar about the agreement be-
tween the company and the sultan and
Arab slave dealers. He says no such
agreement has been made. He further
says that the only action of Agent Mac
kenzie in regard to slaves has been to
pay for the liberation of 400 slaves.

Boreas and Nimbus have been dancing a wild
breakdown" for the last two days, while Aeous
has pped an endless tune for their madly whrling,
rushing tempestuous feet. They began their
revelry in Florida, but whether the mild and
sunny climate there threatened to weary the
sturdy hardy children of the ice-clad regions Of
the North, or whether they took umbrage ut the
ill-mannered way in which their merry making
was received there, they suddenly started north
ward. They came with a rush. dancing as they
went, while Aeolus pped the more madly in his
delirious Joy. His tireless lungs made music for
the millions of people along their course, his high
sounding strains walked the sleepers of dozen
States, and still the jewellers danced and laughed
end sang. With far-rcaching mighty steps they
whirled along until they reached New-York and
the States close by. Then their Joy burst forth
again with renewed vigor With boisterous, roll
licung steps they circlcd round and tread the
ground. the sea, the trees and air in mad
burst of glee.
The massive lungs of Boreas sent forth sweep
ing blasts of air which chilled the drops that
poured from Nmbuss brow, and turning them to
darting, stingng needlc-ponts, sent them flying
for thousand miles The strains of Aeolus rose
high above the noise of their crushing, pounding
feet, and, whistling loud and crying long and
strong, spread far away and deafened the ears Of
men in all the Central and New-England States
Such pleasure they found in their new dane
ing green that there they stayed, and though the
sounds of their frolicking were heard by night
and day from North TO South, the mad whirl, the
piping bags and all the depth of feeling and wild
outburstS Of JOY were there. Their swiftly darting
feet laid low the shrubs in their way. They trpped
along the tops Of the sea and dashed water high
In the air Here and there they swung into some
tree that blocked their steps and bore it crashing
down before them. Then they toppled over a
house or some fragile framework and rushed on
round and round. The miles and miles. of wires
stretching from pole to pole went down almost
before they reached them dragging down the
slcn Ter poles and tangng themselves into knots
and snarls.
And yet they danced and shouted till their
voices and strength grew feeble. The strains
sank lower and almost died away The feet
moved listlessly, and painting and breathless the
sportive reckless merry makers ceased their dizzy
circling and moved with more measured and less
riotous tread. Over the great floor on which they
had raced were thrown crushed and broken plants

they did not feel any uneasiness about them, as
they were all stanch boats and were either
riding out the gale of the Hook or had sought
refuge in some port along the coast
VESSELS REPORTED TO BE IN DISTRESS
The venturesome little tugs that usually defy
any storm hugged the piers closely yesterday
and wherever the contrary was the case ana ,hey
undertook to do any towing they had to give IL
up, as the water, even in the harbor, was 100
rough. The police boat Patrol had steam up all
day, and lay at Pier A, ready to respond TO any
call for help that she should get The only lntl-
nation, however, of Il vessel III distress was re-
ceved about O'clock, when the tug Leonard
Richards, of Jersey City, came up from the Lower
of distress on the Outer Middle just oil Sandy
Hook. As the Patrol is Wooden sidc-wheel
steamer, built for smooth water, and as the waves
where the schooner lay were running mountains
high, the police boat remained at Pier A. The
captain of the Richards said that the unknown
schooner seemed to be all right, and probably
only few her signals TO get towed in she feared
that in the gale she might drag her anchors But
no tug ventured out to her
About noon The schooner Robert Myham from
Bristol for this city, was towed through He'll Gate
by a tug Of the Chapman Wrecking Company. Tho
vessel went ashore during the heavy blow on
Lloyd'S Neck. Her cargo was seriously damaged
and the vessel somewhat injured.
Much anxiety is felt at the office of the Pilot

these boats were lost in the great blizzard Of

To-day it is hoped to have communication re-
