THE SOUDAN.
Cairo, October 6. Particulars of Col. Stewart's Death. j Further Intelligence regarding the fate of Col. Stewart has been brought in, and shows that Col. Stewart lost his life through the treachery of the Bedouins. It appears that a party of desert Arabs witnessed the loss of the steamer at Wadel-Hhomar, and when Col. Stewart's party landed they offered to escort them to their destination. Their services were accepted, and having allayed all suspicion by protestations of friendship, the Arabs turned upon those whom Ihey were escorting, and killed Colonel Stewart and all who were with him. A case of smallpox occurred in the j Blackwatch (Ist Battalion Jioyal Highlanders), and a whole battalion has been quarantined.
