One Hundred Thousand Islamites Devas tating the African Interior. Washington', Aug. 24, Secretary oE State Bayard is in receipt of a dis patch from Sierra Leone, jjiring ac counts of the movements of an army of 100,000 men in the interior of Af rica. The dispatch is dated July Uth last, and was sent by U. S. Consul Lewis. Mr. Lewis says: "I havo tho honor to bring to tho notico of the department of state tho fact of an extraordinary movement amongthe Mobemmedans of tho Ni griliau regions, extending from Tim buctoo to the west coast It appears that a Mandingo, named Lamudu, of extraordinary intelligence and ener gy, conceived the idea that ho was called of God to wage a war for the sunpression of paganism, and also for the purpose of opening the roads to the coast, which in certain districts havo been for generations suojecieu to excessivo blackmail and to tho plundering of vagabond tribes. Dur ing tho last five years ho has collect ed an army consisting of foot and horse, about 100,000 men. The Mo ll ammedan youth, wherever he goes, flock to his standard, anxious not on ly to secure tho reward in tho hero nflr nromised to those who fight for their religion, but to carry off the- "1 f B A? wa ww1aI 4VAPk AVnA riCU Spoilt OL UUIU nuitu iuwo wyw- ditions that battlo for the faith aro sure to win. It i3 said that Lanindu's army i3 divided iuto threo portions. One is operating near tho head wa ters of tho Niger. This portion re cently drovo certain French troops from tho gold regions of Boarse, of which they had taken possession and are now besieging Bammaks, a largo town on tho Niger, occupied about threo years by tho French, who have erected fortifications there. Another portion ef the army is oper ating in the region east of Liberia, and by suppressing disturbing ele ments, unfettering trade and intro ducing a knowledge of religion and letters, is in one sense opening a way for negro immigrants of intelligence I ana energy irom amunua n iuon out from THE AFRICA-AMERICAN REPUBLIC To the healthy regions of the interi or. In another sense it i3 forestall ing tho whole region for Mohammed ism and making it difficult, if not im possible, if indeed, it is desirable, to convert that country to the faith im ported from America by the immi grants. The third portion of the array is approaching tho coast a few miles northwest of Sierra Leone. It has secured the submission, by force or Toluntarv surrender, of all the tribes on the way for 300 miles back. The largest and most important kingdom on this sido of the Niger was Soolima, on which Tallaba, a large commercial city, was the capi tal. For tho last sixty years tho Ful ah Mohammedans havo been trying by diplomacy and arni3 to subdue this city to their faith, but it ha3 al wnvs successfully resisted both dip- lomat and warrior. Last year Lamu du's army in overwhelming numbers surrounded it and called upon ihe king to surrender and profess tho faith of Islam. This he refused to do. The town was then invested, nnd af ter a terrible siege of ilvo months the king assembled tho royal family and tho principal chiefs in his pow der house, informed them that he could hold out no longer, as his re sources were oxhausted, but having for more than 200 years belonged to the ruling element, ho was deter mined for himself aud family to dio rather than como under Mohammed an rule. He gave the chiefs their choice, either to dio with him or to go out of tho town and give them selves up to the enemy. They do milwl to dio with him. He then set fire to the powder, and they were all blown up. This ended tho Soolima power, which for more than seven generations had influenced tho trade and politics of these extensivo dis tricts and had commanded the prin cipal highway to the coast Another very important achievement of this army is the DESTRUCTION OF THE HOOBOO TOWER, An irresponsible organization which has been a source of annoynnco and loss to caravans passing from tho in terior to the coast Lamudu gave orders to attack them in their mount ain strongholds, which, until then, had tiroven inaccessible to tho neigh boring forces. They wero surprised, their chief, Abol, was captured and decapitated, and hi3 arms and legs severed from the trunk, were sent to the various countries that had suf fered from his depradatory and mur derous proceedings. The Hooboos are described as renegade Faulabs in the rebellion against King Timboo. The roads have now been cleared of theso tbiove3 and murder ers so that an unprotected child or female may travel iu safety all through the district These opera tions will not bo without a salutary effect upon American commerce, for thero is in that country an increasing demand for American productions, and many of tho articles produced by tho people are Talaablo in tho Amer ican trade. Lamudu's army is now only a few miles from tho coast, northwest from Sierra Leone. It is said to bo their purpose now to deal with the Timuch and Sherbro coun tries, wbose constant ware keep mari time regions in such a state of fer ment that often tho car&Tans have stranded through obstructions for J hundreds ot miles. They find that their greatest diflioulty is among the const tribe?, and often fall victims to the latter. Rum, Romanism and Rebellion. New York, Aug. 2t Bev. Dr. Burchard wanders around Saratoga like a ghost of an old gentleman. Al though ho looks very calm and se rene, as if he had the clearest of con sciences, yet ho cannot bo very com fortable. He is ono of the most notorious men now living. "Wher everhogoe3 he is followed by, tho wink and snicker of some one who regards Burchard's existenco as a huge joke. "There he goes!" "That's the man!" "Thati3 Cleveland's best friend!" are tho constant exclama tions uttered in his hearing. He looks very patient under this fire. . Atlantic City is said to havo a flag EO wired mat it cannot nang niiiy, even if thero is no breath of air stir ring. It is fixed above tho gablo of a hotel, and is intended to convince tho heated guest that his discomfort is imaginary. . ' . I The Knlsance and the Remedy. Foul water, filthy streets, bad sew erage and unpleasant milk, when all crowded together into ono city, mako as malarious and unwholesome a state of affairs as citizens can stand. But the disgusted citizens need not think themselves all bound for the ceme- etery on this account Malaria and every other unclean influence can be fought off with lirowu s iron imtors. Mr. F. Patterson, Marshalltown, Iowa, writes. "Brown's Iron Bitters has completely cured me of malaria." It would be a strange thing to see a southern stato furnish the next pro hibition candidate for president But it is not improbable.
