GENERAL CABLES.
Sydney, August 18. Captain Colquhouu, commander of the Queensland gunboat Gayundah, died suddenly of heart failure after his vessel had arrived to participate in the welcome to the American Fleet. London, August 13. A bloodhound for four days tracked the murderer of Madge Kirby, a little girl, whose body was found in the cellar of an empty house at Liverpool. The dog finally gave up the scent on a railway platform, and hence it is believed the murderer left the city last night by the Birmingham express. Sydney, August 19. The city is simmering with excitement. Strenuous efforts are being made to complete the preparations before the arrival of the fleet to-morrow.
The transportation of the enormous crowds to the coastline and harbour foreshores will tax to the utmost the tram and steamer facilities.
A big fleet ot steamers has been engaged to meet and escort the warships. The weather promises to be fine. The city wears an exceedingly gay appearance.
