Aapocial from Gcnova, Switzerland, ?f September l(?, Bays: Tho Empress of Austria wan assassinated this ftftornoou. It appears (liutllor Majesty was walk ing from hor hotel to tho landiug placo of tho steamer at about I o'olock, when an Italian anarchist named TjUo choni, who who was born ifi Paris, of Italian parouts, suddenly approached and stabbed hor to tho heart. Tho Em press fell, got up again and was carried jto tho. steamer, unconscious. Tho boatf startod, but seeing tho Empress had not recovered consciousness, tho cap tain roturnod And the Empress was car lied to tho Hotel JJoauriYage, whore eho expired. . Another account of the assassination 'of tho Empress of Austria, Bays: ??'Af ter having been stabbed from bohind, the Empress rose and walked ou board 'the steamer, whoro sho fell, fainting. The captain did .iot wish to put oft' from the quay, but did so at tho request of the Empress and hor suite, thero being no approhonsion that she was seriously hurt. The steamer was turned back bo fore reachiug tho open lake; and the iEinpross, unconscious, was carried to tho hotol on a stretcher. After striking tho blow tho assassin ran along tho .11 uo dos Alps, with tho evident inten tion of entering the Squaro dos Alpes but before reachiug it, ho was seized by* two Cttbmon, who bad, witnessed the criino. Thoy handed hiiikover to a boat ? man and a gondarms, who convoyod him to the police station. \The prisatier macto^-no resistance. Hb oven sang as h?y walked along, yfrnyinR: T did it, * and ' 'she iuust\l/o dead.' At tho police station ho "doclared that he was a 'starving anarchist with no hatred for the poor, but only for the rich. ' Later, when taken to the court house and interrogated by tho magistrate, in tho presouco of threo members of tho local government and the<polioo ofticinls, ho protended not to know F reuch\and refusod to answer questions. Th(Kj>olioo, ou searching him, found o doAuu,ent showing his namo to bo Lugi Laochini, born in Paris in 187H, an Italian soldier. Ho will bo tried according to tho cau tou in which tho crimo was committed, which forbid capital punishment and make lifq imprisonment the most se vere penalty that cau be imposed. Tho s President of Switzerland and othor members of the government were stun ned with horror and grief when tho news reachod tho palace that the Em press, so belovod by all Europeans, had fallen a victim to an assassin with in the borders of their country. y The Federal authorities had boon in formed of tho vLiit of tho Empress, and they notified the Governors of the can tons the Empress oxpocted to visit, in structing them to take special polico measures for hor comfort and safety, if it appeared nocessarv. They wero not informed of Her Majesty's inten tiou to visit Geueva, nor were the of ficials nwaro of hor presence, as sho was traveling incognito. The police are not blamed, though the circum stances responsible for the lack of pre cautions are widely regretted1. All Switzerland is profuudly stirred with sorrow and indignation. The papers of all cities have printed extras expresssing horror of the crime. ??-The Empress of Austria was born December 24, 1837. Sho was a daugh ter of I.Miko Maximilian of Bavaria, and was married to Francis Joseph, Em c'peror of Austria and King of Hun gary, April 21, 18.?4.

A special from (hndurmau says that Khalifa Abdullau a few days before the arrival of tho Anglo-Egyption nrmy heftfttl that a forco of whito men occu pied Fashoda, a town on tho west bank of tho White Nile, four hundred miles south of Khartoum. Tho Khnlifa im mediately ?ont two steamers to inveu tigate tho report. Oneof them returned and surrendered to (ton. Kitchener. The commander**"" of tho Rtoamer reported . that on his arrival at Fashoda he found that tho place was occupiod by a force of whites. The latter opoued a heavy fire on the Rtoamer, which narrowly escapod being annihilated, tho crow losing many kill ed and wounded. Many bullets wore embedded in tho hull of the steamer. It seems to be certain that tho whito* at Fashoda are a force of French troops. Tho British commander wiil send a flotilla of gunboats up tho White Nile to investigate the affair. The Anglo Egyptian cavalry has captured the principal wifo of the Khalifa, the roothor of Osman Digma aud Sheik Eddin.

It was announced at tho war depart ment recently that there will bo uo rnoro troops mustered out. I he situa tion does not admit of any further re duction in army, and efforts are. being mado to put those volunteers who are retained in the servioe as near as possi ble to tbo footiug of the regulars in tho | matter of drill and discipline. A liltlo over IM, 000 have already heon mustered out, and it is aunounced positively that there will bo no more musterod out, no matter what inOueuoe is brought to bear. Col.

Tho trouble grows out of tho arrest some timo since of one of the majors of tho regiment, for sondinir a telegram to the Governor of Illinois, btatiug that the rogimeut desired to go to Cuba. The report of Colonel Charlos Smart, of tho tuedioal department, and his ex haustive roview of conditions at Camp lilaok havo boon given out, aftor soy eral statements regarding t'no cleanli ness and lack of medicine in somo quartors had been eliminated. Ho criticises furloughiug tho mon not strong enough to truvel and care for themselves which wan abused by tho pressure brought to bear on tho author ities by friends. Most of tho Seventh army corps uudor (ienoral Fitzhugh Leo, now iu Camp Cuba Libre, at .Jacksonville, Fla., aro dissatisfied aud want to be mustered ont. This is especially truo of the Virginians. They are dissatis fied because there ia no chance for them to fight, and prefer roturning home to going on garrison duty iu Havana Tho transport Mississippi reached I New York recently from Ponce with [ (532 men, 50 civilians and 11)4 horses, tho I soldiers beloning to Troops A and C, I New York Cavalrjy; First City Troop, of Philadelphia; Sheridan Troops, of Tyrone, I'a. ; the Governor's Troops, of Harriaburg, and Rattory A, Pennsyl vania Volunteer Artillery.

Gen. Pates' orders are to get} all the troops away from there as sown as a possible. One rosuit of tho war will be the es tablishment of a permanent lleet of army transport vessels on the Atlantic and on tho Pacific. To this end, and for the purpose of administering tho affairs of this new branch of military service, a trannportation bureau of tho quartermaster's department will be es tablished. Silicon General Sternberg has re ceived a dispatch from the ohief sur geon at Ponce, Porto Rico, saying that that thero were four cases of yellow fever and one death among the troops t here.

Judge Prouty of tho Federal court, of Tcoumseh, Oklahoma, was lyuched by a oi'owil of negroo* lioar his home late one night rooontly. Negroes over took bim on lite public road, bound und stripped him and hanged him to a tree, whu&o bis hotly was found next mottling.

" A low days before the lynching cowboys got into a row with negroes, shooting one of thorn, and I'routy 's failure to prosecute thoin moved the negroes to hold him respon sible. Whitos are aroused and are arming themselves preparatory to ex terminating all tho negroes in tho soc tiou. Mysterious Murder. Bridgeport, Conn., has a murder mystery that in its gruosomo aspects ik as strange and unusual us tho Gulden suppe eaao. Parts of tho body of an apparently beautiful woman have bcon found iu widely soperated places. Tho women was evidontly murdered and tho body cut in pieces by the inur<lorer, each limb being concealed iu a differ out place to proveut identification . The trunk of tho beautiful niurdored wo man was found, making the body com plote. Thero is 110 clue to her identity. Cubans Suspicious of Porter. The presence of Robert H. Portor, who is in Havana on a special commiu sion from the United States govern iiient to study tho tinaucial and econ oinio aspects of tho situation, is re garded with suspicion by the party of free Cuba, as indicating the establish ment of au American policy of guar dianship. Mr. Portor is preparing a revision of tho Cuban tarifl' which will probably bo protective of Cuban indus tries, and is acquainting himself with ovory detail of local taxation. Insurgents Disbanding. Gonorals Cebroco, Castillo, Pedro Pros aud other insurgent leaders, have turned over thoir commands to General Ijawton. General Perez, has 8, (MM) men in the vicinity of Guantauamo, which will disbaud by order of Gen eral Castillo. There is now a general desire ou the part of the Cuban army to disband, as tbe insurgents have' learned that the question of their back pay will not be considered by tbe Americans. The Ultimatum to ?dhcm Pasha. A special from Candia, Island of Creto, says: Hear Admiral Georad Noel, commandor of tbe British naval forces iu Cretan waters, has issued an ulti matum to Edhem Pasha, tbe Turkish military governor of Crete, demanding that be sbonld deliver up the ring loaders of tbe recent outbreak and massacre, surrender tho fort aud ram parts commanding the town and dis arm tbe Mussulman troops. 'v Becoming Interesting. A qpacial dispatch received at Hong Kong^rom Mauils from a Spanish source says: "Aeruinaldo hasliberated all tho Spanish prisoners. The Ameri cans, in violatiou of the terms of the capitulation, have soized the publio offices, destroyed tbe archives, disre garded tho munioipal laws and are collecting tho Hpanish overdue taxes." <> The Monetary Conference. One of the most distinguished gath erings of financial students that ever assembled was the recent session of tho monetary conference at the Nebraska bui|ding, exposition grounds, at Oma ha. Hon. J. (Sterling Morton presided. Messrs. Warner, To woe, Bar tine, Weaver, Reynolds and other leaders of the silver and paper money sides took part inkthe joint debates. Indignation in Fnrope. Consternation aud Indignation are felt in England and on the Continent at the murder of the Empress of'Auatria, aud it grows upon the better realization of the full import of the act of the assassiu. The newspapers join in tbe great out cry against anarchists, and point out tbe necessity of resorting ta'the most drastic measures to stamp them out. All agree that they should be shown no meroy. Cuban Agitators 00 tbe Scene. Heveral well known Cabana have arrived at Havana, osteipiblv as dele gates commissioned by the Cuban ianta to facilitate the work. of disband ing the Co ban troops.
