IN sOUDAN

ZANZIBAR, East Africa, Nov. Iii
Particulars have reached mere of re-
volt among the Soudanese troops in
Maj MacDonald's expedition in the
lake country, south of the equatorial
provinces.
1t apears that the expedition was
advancing into the interior from the
Uganda country for a point as to
which information is wanting. On Oct.
10 last, the mutineers, assisted by $50
Mohammedan tribesmen, attacked the
camp at Wasoga. In the fierce fight
ing that followed, Lieut.. Fielding, Maj.
Thurston, Launch Engineer Scott, Civil
Officer Wilton and fifteen soldiers were
killed.
The wounded numbered thirty, in
Guiding Capt. Macpherson and Chief
Civil Officer Jackson.
The mutineers were finally defeated,
after losing 100 killed and wounded.
Mai. Macdonald has been joined by
the Wasoga native army, and it is
hoped that he will be able to quell the
mutiny in few weeks. A detach-
ment of Indian troops from Mombasa
will start Immediately to reinforce
Maj. Macdonald.
Maj. MacDonald's expedition left XII
kuyu, east of Victoria Nyanza, toward
the end of last August 1t then in
Guided ten officers and about 1000 men,
among whom were fifty Sikhs. Maj
Macdonald took with him an immense
quantity of wagons, bullocks, provis-
ions and camels, as we'll as Maxims
Evidently the British officers intended
to rely in fighting upon the Sikhs and
MaXims.
The leader of the expedition, Maj.
Macdonald, has had many years ex-
perience in Uganda, and has frequently
aided Capt. Frederick Lugard during
disturbances there. He left London
early last summer for Kikuyu. 1t was
then understood that he intended to
ascend the Juba river on behalf Of
the British government, but it has
since been reported that his real goal
is the upper reaches of the White
Nile, in the hope of forestalling French
expeditions which are believed to be
moving in that direction. Usoga lies
between Uganda and Cavario.

FIRE in BANQUET HALL
AMERICUS CLUB DECORATIONS IN
HONOR OF GRANT BURNED.
Chemicals Exploded While n Flash
Light Picture Was Being Taken
Banquet Not Postponed.

PITTSBURG. April 29-The eleventh an
nual banquet of the Americus Club in honor
or General Grant was held tonight in spite
of fire in the banquet hall which de-
stroyed the decorations and threatened for
a time to put stop TO the ceremonies The
club had made great preparations for the
event. and the decorators had been at work
for several days and had adorned the CELL
ing with four rows of inverted pyramids
constructed of red. white and blue bunting.
The pyramids, several hundred in number,
entirely covered the ceiling and the points
of them extended TO within about eight feet
of the floor. An electric light was sus-
pended from the tip of each, with smilax
festooned from point to point. The general
effect was very beautiful. The windows
were also artistically draped. and in the
center of the north wall was a life-size
portrait of the hero of Appomattox. The
club management wished to secure photo
graph OF the decorated hall, and in the at
tempt to secure fashlight picture an ex-
plosion occurred, which was quickly fol-
lowed by flames that practically destroyed
the entire decoration OF the hail. Men were
at once put to work to remove the debris,
and the banquet was delayed only about an
hour, the dismantled condition of the room
proving but a slight detraction from the
evenings enjoyment.

cism of the O'Brfens.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 2s-The trial OF
Capt. Henry Romeyn before the general
court-martial convened at Fort Mcpherson
was continued to-day. The day was taken
up in hearing evidence in rebuttal of that
which has been introduced by the accused
officer. Very little advance was made,
however, as there were numerous objec-
tions to different questions. and in each in
stance the courtroom was necessarily
cleared for consultation. Captains Wales.
Bailey, Forbes, Tilson. Randall. Borden,
and Lieutenant Colonel Russell. all of Fort
Mcpherson, testified that they had seen
no ostracism of Lieutenant and Mrs.
O'Prien or any public disfavor. From pres
ent indications the trial will not end be-
fore next Monday.
To-day Captain Romeyn was presented
with a magnificent solid silver loving cup

Powers Are Still Discussing Interven-
tiOn and Ending of the War.

LONDON, April 30.-Rumors were I'm cir
culation at the continental cities yesterday
that the Graeco-Turkish would
be ended. The Frankfort Zeitung published
a dispatch from Constantinople saying that
owing TO the Greek foreign minister hav-
ing made a request to the Russian
minister at Athens, the ambassadors of
Great Britain, France and Russia, at Con-
stantinople. had asked the Turkish gov
ernment to grant to Greece an armistice
The Secolo of Milan published a dispatch
from Athens saying that peace between
Turkey and Greece has been concluded
Neither of these rumors had been confirmed
up to o'clock this morning.
1t is probable, however, that the war will
soon end. All the talk now, says the Daily
Mail Berlin correspondent, is of the inter-
vention of the powers. Even Germany
wishes to save Greece from the consequence
of defeat and it is stated in Berlin Off
cial circles that the powers will intervene
of their own initiative if Greece does not
invite them.
According to a dispatch from CONSTANT
nople to the Lokalanzeiger, the Sultan will
accept the following conditions as the basis
for peace: The withdrawal of the Greek
troops from Crete and the establishment
OF the frontier of 1884, Greece to be ex-
cluded from all the advantages of capitua-
tions and to pay indemnity.
The Times correspondent at st. Peters
burg has had an interview with high of
fetal, who accompanied Emperor Francis
Joseph on his visit TO the Car. The off,
cials said that the Emperor was greatly
gratified by the results of his visit and he
added that there would be no change in
the Eastern policy of the European con-
cert. The keynote of the situation was the
| necessity of prompt return to the status
quo in both Crete and Greece. The official
assured the Times correspondent that the
European concert equally desirous of
supporting the dynasty in Greece.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Rome
says that the powers will oppose, by force
| If necessary, the blockade or bombardment
| of Salonica in view of the damage that
would be done to foreign commerce. 1t is
| believed in Rome that the new Greek min
| ister will treat for peace in the hope of
| preserving the territorial integrity of

The Rome correspondent of the Daily
| Chronicle says it is asserted at the Italian

dressed France, England and Russia for
| the purpose of invoking their mediation be-

THE Sublime Porte formally contradicts

report OF the mutiny OF Albanians. The
repeated testimony of all the correspond
ents of foreign newspapers at headquarters
and the admiration they express for disci-

accusations to be totally unfounded and
