Osman Digna, the rebel leader who during the last ten years has kept the English troops at bay around Suakin, causing an immense expenditure of British blood and treasure, and who is now in command of the dervish army marching on Kassala, is a renegade Frenehman, native of Rouen. The au- thenticity of this strange story is youched for by the famous African traveller, Dr. Schweinfurth, by Dr. Felkin and by several other equally renowned authori- ties on questions relating to the Sudan. Osman Digna was born on the banks of the Seine in 1886 and was christened at the cathedral at Rouen under the name of George. When about Il years old, his father, certain Joseph Nisbet, failed i'll business and betook himself with his wife and child to Egypt, where he died short time afterward Ais widow, who found herself almost penni- less, contracted a few months later q marriage with well known Moham- medan merchant of Alexandria, Osman Digna by name.
 Having no children of his own, he be- came exceedingly fond of young George Nisbet, insisted on his becoming con yerted to the Mohammedan faith and entered him under tho name of Osman Digna, Jr., at the military school at Cairo, where tho lad received a careful training at the hands of tho distin- guished French, German and British officers attached to the college as profess ors In 1860 the whole family took up their residence at Suakin, where old Osman Digna soon became known as the leading merchant and principal slave dealer of the whole Red sea coast. On his death, five years afterward, his stepson, George Nisbet, inherited his fortune and his business, and under the name of Osman Digna soon acquired even greater wealth, power and influ- ence.
 When the insurrection broke out at Cairo ill 1882, he warmly espoused the cause of Arabi Pasha, the rebel leader, who was an old classmate and friend of his. It was on this occasion that he was elected chief of the sheiks of the eastern Sudan. So great was his power that both the Mahdi and his successor were forced to treat the French Arab" with ex- treme consideration and to defer to him.
 Osman Digna is of herculean stature, with eyes of piercing blackness, shaggy eyebrows and an immense beard He has lost his left arm in battle and con tents himself with as few as three wives, who, however, are daughters of the chiefs of the most important and powerful Arab trites of the Sudan. It is to his training at the military school at Cairo that must be attributed the re- markable skill displayed by Osman Digna in the construction of fortifica- tions and intrenchments around Suakin, fully equal in merit to those of the British royal engineers.
 As the Sudanese have never anywhere else shown any knowledge of throwing up earthworks. their skill around Sua- kin gave rise to the suspicion that Os- man Digna was but the nom de guerre of European, possessed of very ex- tended knowledge of military tactics. The suspicion has now become a certi- tude, as shown above. New York Jour- nal.

Boston, March 2S.-What is expected
to be the first official big gun for Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, as candidate for
president Of the United States, will
be fired with great enthusiasm at the
Republican state convention here to-
day. Preparations for the affair have
been practically completed. The ut
most enthusiasm prevails, and the
principal topic Of conference is Reed
and his chances. Senator Lodge, who
is to be chairman of the committee on
resolutions, and Congressman Mccall,
who is to preside, have arrived, and
during the day were in consultation
with Chairman Lyman and the other
members of the committee on resolu-
lions. The chief interest felt among
the politicians is in what the platform
will say on the financial question, al
though it is believed it will declare I'M
equivocably against any change in the
currency.
