IN sOUDAN. Shot Dowb.
IN sOUDAN

ZANZIBAR, East Africa. Nov. 21.-
Particulars have reacheG mere of re-
volt among the Soudanese troops in
Mai 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.
19 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
cluding Capt Macpherson and Chief
Civil Officer Jackson.
The mutineers were finally defeated,
after losing 100 killed and wounded.
Maj. 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 1900 men,
among whom were fifty Sikhs. Maj.
Macdonald took with him an immense
quantity of wagons, bullocks, provis-
ions and camels, as well 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.

GEN. ORDwAY DEAD.
Sudden Demise Caused by an Attack
of Pneumonia.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2L-Gen. Albert
Ordway died at 7:15 o'clock tonight
at the Hoffman house, in this city.
When death came the generals wife,
his sister, Miss Emma Ordway, DR..
Pease, the attending physician, and
Lieut.. Very, a close friend and busi-
ness associate were at his bedside.
Gen. Ordway and his wife returned
from Europe last Wednesday. They
engaged rooms at the Hoffman house.
Next day the general was taken sick
and he continued to grow weaker and
weaker until 7:15 this evening, when
he passed away.
The generals death. was doubtless
hastened by the sad and recent events
in connection with his wayward
daughter, Bettina Girard. The latter
a complete wreck, was a day or two
ago transferred to private SANTA
rum from Bellevue hospital.
Owing to the pieadiSs55 of his wife,
who had become reconciled to her
daughter, Gen. Ordway consented to
the return of the rrodiSal, and a re-
union of the family in Washington was
arranged.
Gen. Ordway's death is attributed
by the attending physician to jaundice
and pleurisy, which developed from
a cold contracted in Paris.
Brev. Brig. Gen. Albert ordway. who was
born in 1S43, served with credit and gallantry
throughout the civil war, the greater por-
tion of the time with his regiment, the
Twenty fourth Massachusetts infantry. An
act of personal gallantry at New Berne, n.
c., was followed by his appointment as adju-
tant of his regiment. He remained in North
Carolina until June, 1868, later served in the
Army of the Potomac, then in Florida, and
through the campaign Of 1S64-65 in the Army
of the James. After the occupation OF Rich
mond he was appointed provost marshal OF
Virginia, where, through a portion of the
troublous reconstruction times. he directed
the delicate duty of his position with much
skill and tact. For gaIlantry at various times
and because of his ability he had been sue
cessively promoted, until when slightly over
twenty-five years of age he was made brevet
brigader general. being the youngest officer
in the service to receive that grade. His
regiment and himself were retained in the
service until February, 1865, and We're the
last volunteer troops mustered out in the
state. After being mustered out, Gen. Ord
way went into business at Richmond. and
about ten years later removed to Washing
ton, where, as commanding officer OF the ma
tional guard for number of years, he
brought that organization up to high stand

admission that he had served
three terms in State prisons, twice at
San Quentin and once at Folsom, and
that he once escaped and was recap

Great H havoc in the Chehalis Valley,
Where the Flood Is the Highest
Ever Known.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Dec. 30.-A special from
Everett, Wash, to the Ledger says no
Eastern mail has been received there
since last Sunday. 1t is almost impos
sible to get any definite news from the
upper Skyhomish valley. The wires
are reported to be down and the con-
dition of the wagon roads, which are
flooded on the bottom lands, with some
of the bridges gone, has prevented any
one from coming out of the valley.
It is understood that one span of the
railroad bridge at Sultan has been car
ried away, and that many of the fills
recently made in repairing the damage
by the November floods have been
more or less washed away.
The bridge over the Stilliguamish
river at Arlington, on the Seattle and
International, has been carried away.
The track of the Great Northern and
Monte Cristo at Lowell has been under
water for three days, and from Lowell
to Snohomish are numerous breaks.
For the first time since Sunday the
coast line train ran from Seattle to
WhatcOm to-day.
The Chehalis valley is a dreary waste
of water. That is all that coGfronts
the eye in every direction. Farms and
highways alike are uUueT several 1eHL
of water and men GO from one point to
another in boats. Fish Commissioner
Little, when he left the fish hatchery
on the Chehalis river, rowed across
farms and up the county road, now
buried under ten feet of water. Mr.
Little arrived from the flooded district
to-day on the first train that had sue
ceeded in getting through. He says the
loss will not be very extensive. but the
prospect is not at all encouraging
Some of the farmers will lose a large
part of their grain and hay stored on
the farm and others may lose some
stock.
The floods are the highest ever
known in the valley. The smaller
streams, many of them tributary to
the Chehalis, are out of their banks.
and the usually placid creeks have be-
come raging torrents. The Saohet is
four feet higher than it has ever been
and the Wynooche is over the railroad
tracks. At Oakville the branch line is
under three feet of water.

WHAT SHERIFF cUNNiNGHAM SAYS.
Has Worked Hard and Long to Secure the
Prisoners Capture.

Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton
passed through the city yesterday on
his way to Napa to ask the authOri-
ties to surrender the prisoner to him.
81 have worked hard and long to get
the third man in the attempted hold
up of the train below Lathrop," said
he, land I now have him. When the
sketch of Burglar Roup was published
in The Call Wednesday 1 recognized
the prisoner as the man who has
evaded US for months. He is a clever
and desperate criminal and 1 am sur
prised that he was taken without
fight.
'Roup, as he now calls himself, is an
old offender. He has served two terms
in San Quentin and two in Folsom
prison. At times he has travelled UNI
der the names of Harry Hall, F'reder-
lex Hamilton, II. S. Burnett and
Charles Parker, and now he turns up
as James Roup. He is better known
to the authorities, however, as Brock
the plumber. He is a plumber by
trade, but don't know where he got
the name of Brock.
There were two attempts made to
hold up the Southern Pacific trains be-
low Lathrop last September. The first
attempt was made on the night of Sep
TENDER 4. The robbers were George
Williams and George F. Schlagel. They
placed lot of straw on the track and
set fire to it when the train was ap-
preaching the switch at Morrano, about
six miles south of Lathrop. The en-
gineer pulled up the train, but Will
liams and Schlagel were afraid to at
tempt the job alone. They then took
Roup or whatever his name is into
their confidence, and four nights later
the south bound train was again stop
ped. About a dozen shots were fired
by the robbers and tramp who was
stealing a ride was shot.
I'VE caught Williams and Schlagel a
few days later, and they pleaded guilty
in, the hope of escaping with light SEN
fences. They were sentenced, how
ever, to life Imprisonment. Before be-
ing sentenced they told that Roup or
Brock the plumber was in the Job
with them, and that it was a bullet
from his revolver which struck the
tramp. We have since been looking
for Brock the plumber and I can as
sure you we were all relieved when
The Call published the news that he
was in Napa Jail.
We have a strong case against him.
and if his cOnfederates should now go
back on their former statements we
have sufficient evidence to warrant
him in securing a life cell behind
prison walls.'

KILLS THE coon, THEN
FALLS DEAD HIMSELF
Strange Death of an Aged Fre1chman Near
ForbestoWa While Capturing
q Chicken Thief

MARYSVILLE, Dec 3O.-An aged
Frenchman named D. Lague, residing
in this county near Forbestown. close
to the Butte County line, met death
last evening under peculiar circum-
stances. For some time past Lague
had been troubled by a coon that made
frequent visits to his hennery. Mon
day evening he surprised the varmint
and promptly freed him. He then
rushed into the house and procured his
rifle, intent on dispatching the intruder.
In order to have his aim uninterrupted.
Lague mounted a log beneath the tree
and then raised the gun to his shoul-
der and fired. The hex. instant the
lifeless body of the coon fell out of the
tree and at the same moment Lague
toppled forward on his face and Law
motionless on the ground
When his son Charles, who Kad wit
messed the killing of the coon, FASTENED
to Lague's side, he was horror-stricken
to find that the old man was dead. The
excitement attendant on the cap
ture of the coon proved too much for
the old man, who was subject to heart
failure, and thus the spark of life
went out. A Coroner's jury returned 2
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
