MWANGA A PRISONER.
News OF the Revolt in Uganda Arabs Per-
secute Christians.


ZANZIBAR, Jan. 11.-Advices have been
received from the interior that in October
last Mwanga. King of Uganda, plotted to
destroy his entire body guard, his inten.
ton being to abandon them on an island
in Lake Nyanza, where they would starve
to death. The guards, who had been FORE
warned Of the Kings intentions, refused
to enter the canoes which were to convey
them to the island, but returned to the
capitol and made an attack on Mwanga's
palace. The King fed to escape the fury
of the guards, and his brother. Kiwe-
wa, was enthroned in his stead. Kiwewa
appointed Christians to the principal of.
fees. This enraged the Arabs, who muir.
dered many of the Christian officials and
replaced them with Mahommedans. The
Arabs burned the English and French
mission stations and killed many of the
converts. The mission boat Eleanor, in
which some of the persons who had been
converted by the French missionaries
were fleeing, was struck by hippopota-
mus and sank, five Of the converts being
drowned.
Many letters from Emin Bey and Henry
NJ. Stanley were lost by the burning Of
the missionary stations. The missionaries
have reached Umsambo in safety. Mwan.
gi is prisoner at Magu. He has appealed
to the English for assistance. The Arabs
have written to Missionary Mckay exult-
ing in their triumph and prophesying the
extinction OF all the mission stations in
Central Africa in revenge for England's
anti-slavery policy. They have pro.
claimed Uganda Mahommedan Kingdom.

THE PLACER DsGGINGS.
The Rash for the &ocg las
Gold Fields.

TIE Genoa Courier has tie fol
lowing on the placer excitement on
the North fork OF the Carson:
We understand that rich placer
mines have recently been discovered
on n. Springmeyer's sa@ebrush
land IN the upper end of the Valley,
about one mile west Of the east fork
of the Carson river. Last Winter
Mr. Spriagmeyer took out new
ditch for iriigating purposes aud III
! dispi,Ig the same his son encountered
considerable quantity of black sand
which seemed To be extremely heavy
and gave indications of containing
metal. The boy insisted on having
the stuff assayed, although his father
did not believe there WAS anything
of value IN it. A small quantity of
the sand was put in a sack and MIR.
Springmeyer took it to Carson. Ar
irving there he handed it to A. Liv-
ingston and told him when con
venient to give it to Mr.. Rofer, of
the Bullion 81 Exchange bank, and
have an assay made. Business was
rushing and Liv put the sack away
in his safe and forgot all about it
until one day last week, when he
came across it. He then had an
assay made and result ran up into
the thousands.
Since then two claims of 160 acres
each have been taken up, in which
more than dozen prominent citi-
zens of Ormsby and Douglas counties
are interested. 1t is stated that the
dirt assays $4,000 and over to the
ton, but it is believed that the gold
is very fine and hard to save.
Senator Harris worked in the
mines three years ago and obtained
one assay of $4,000 to the ton, but
never worked his claim successfully.
About the year 1860 two miners took
out $1,000 IN one month on the
river, a mile or so below Horseshoe
Bend and since then prospecting
has been done from time to time |
along the river. All who have mined |
in the vicinity admit there is plenty |
Df gold there, but the great difficulty |
seems to be to find appliances for
saving it, The new strike is the
irst that has been made away from
he river channel and 1t is hoped |
hat it may prove permanent bo-
lanZa. There is no water to work |
-he dirt except what flows through
Mr.. Springmeyers ditch, and it is
probable that by this means work
