Khartoum. September 6.—By Host to Nas ri.—Five gunboats have proceeded up th? White Nile. London, September 7. The dispatch from Khartoum announcing that the British gunboats have pus > ,<o tho White Nile is regarded as highly significant. The sirdar telegraphed on Saturday that the condition of Hit bank of the Nile made it impos.-ibb- to utilize tie gunboats in the pursuit of Khalifa Abdulla. The only Inference, therefore, is that the gunboats have now gone io join hands with Major Ma -Donald, who is now known to be on litri way northward from Uganda, an operation which he- om; b< - n contem plated by the government. Sir Mieba.-l Hicks-Beach, chane lior of tin- exch.-quer, announced In parliament on June 27th last that an attempt would be made to open up commerce with the interior of Africa by a flotilla on the Nile.

Turks in Christian Quarter Shoot and Apply Torch. Cardin, September G.— Candla isl In a state of anarchy. A collision between tho Mussulmans, wh., were. demonstrating against European control, and the, Brit ish authorities, who have been installing Christians as revenue officials, culminated today in bloody fighting between the Mus sulmans and tho British troops. Biots occurred in various parts of tho citv and many were killed. When the out bnak was fiercest a warship ‘ ‘ the harbor begun firing shells vHth th result that a portion of the city is fiames. The greatest confusion and uproar prevails and it is feared that the night will not pass without further pillage and destruction. . Tho trouble began with the attempt of the British military autlmrities to install Christian officials. They had appointed a council of internal control to administer tiie tithe revenues and a detachment of soldiers was stationed outside tiie office as a piecaution. A crowd of unarmed Mus sulmans who had been demonstrating against Hie Christians, attempted to force an entrance into the office. The British soldiers fired and wounded several. Tiie Mussulmans ran to their arms and returning, attacked the soldiers. Other Mussulmans spread rapidly through Hie Christian quarter shooting into windows and setting many Imuses dnd shops on lire. it is reported that th.- British consul has been killed.

Tiie lad that no dispatches w re reri-ived from Candia after the bom bardment began sc* ins to indicate that tho situation there is serious. It is known there that the Mussulmans are discontented at the joint rule of the powers in Crete. This was largely due to the fact that they were eonfim-d in tiie towns while tiie Chrisli-ans were allowed tho liberty of the Islands. But the rising of the Mussulmans was unexpected.

CAVAIGNno Zurlinden Has Been Offered and Accepts the Portfolio of tho Minister of War. THE CRISIS IS PROMISED Wife of Dreyfus Asks To Have the Case of Her Husband Opened Again. Paris. September s.—General Zurlinden. military governor of Paris, has accepted the portfolio of the minister of war. in succession to M. Cavaignac. resigned. General Zurlinden was a member of the Ribot cabinet, which went out of office October 28, 1895. General Zurlinden's decision to accept the war portfolio was communicated to President Faurc. After long conferences with the minister of tiie interior. M. Bris son, and the minister of justice. M. Sar rlen, General Zurlinden was interviewed by a newspaper reporter. The minister of justice, the general said, asked for tho Dreyfus documents. When tihese were given him lie add'd he would study tho docu ments carefully and inform himself thor oughly regarding the case before discussing It with the cabinet. Winn tiie cabinet met the minister of justice, M. Ferdinand Sarrien. informed bls colleagues of tiie receipt of Madame Drey fus's request for a revision of the verdict against her husband. M. Sarrien promised to give a. statement of tiie result of bus examination into th,, matter at a meeting of the cabinet to be convened after the minister of war shall have been appointed. The crisis :n tin <• ibinet is not yet defi nitely settled. Both M. Brisson and M. ('avaignae are believed to lie playing for tb > presidency of the republic, and it is thought that Brisson Is growing Jealous of Cavaignac's in :■ using popularity. The latti-r, owing to bls sup< I'ior social qualities, is supposed to stand the best chance and it was with a view of securing the support of 'he army that he- stood out against a revision. Opinions differ as to how the latest de velopments affect the situation. There is a rumor tonight that General Zurlinden, tiie new minister for war, will advocate a nu-re annulling of th- Dreyfus judgment and sep.- n-'e as a :.if.-r way out of the imbroglio than a re-trial, involving all sorts of awkward revelations. Whether or not t:.is be true, them is much speculation as to bow President Fauro Induced General Zurlinden to accept the war portfolio after twice refusing it. TO REVISE THE DREYFUS CASE.

Tiie resignation of General Boisdeffre, as chief of 1-he general staff, l.s a. standing puzzle, and it arouses suspicions that only a public trial can qul-it.
