Already over a dczen of the animala are dead.

It Is considered likely that an attempt will bo made to s'rengthen the Ministry before the end of the year. It is probable the Marquis of Hartington will join the Cabinet, but it la difficult to Bay what position hia Lordship would assume. It ia believed the changes to be made will be mostly limited to the Housa of Lords, and it ia stated Lord Cross will retire to give place to Lord Randolph Churchill. A telegram received here from ZiLzibar states that the approach of Stanley's expedition ia causing great excitement throughout tho tribeß In the vicinity of Albert Ny»nz>, especially the Ugonda, beween wDom and the Unyoro war still continues, Mwarzi haß Bent messengers to Emm Bey inquiring about the Relief Expedition. It Is thought that this act indicates MwaraVa seeking to win the support cf Emia Bey, who would then extend hia irfluonca m that quarter. Emm Bey has decided to despatch two expeditions to meet Stanley one proceeding to tho southern extremity of the Nyat'Z* desert, the other going to Mhagl, Emm Bey's military post on the western shore of tho Albert Ny»nz», thence advancing westward acre si the Blue Mountains.

The Ofcflurol rcandal la daily assuming larger proportions, and haa been greatly intensified by the arrest of General Boulanger and the acrid debates m tho Chamber of Deputlea.
