[py caBLE TO THE HERALD.) ’ Loxpvon, Feb. 11, 1879. an Eoin Baste ware Russian press ad ‘ices from the interior of Russia state that general ‘unhealthiness and predisposition to epidemic exist. The Nowe Vremya, of St. Petersburg, says reports from the government of Saratoff complain of the foul condition of the town of Kamishin. Typhus fever and smalipox are increasing in au alarming manner in the government of the Tver. A hundred cases of smallpox-occurred in one village, of which cighteen ‘proved fatal. The Siberian plague has appeared in ‘another village, ‘The Russki Pranda reports that tho plague has appeared at a villago on the Kieff Railway. The Orenburg Listok reports great mortality at Orek from smallpox and another unknown disease. The ‘Bt. Petersburg Golos states that an unknown epidemic ‘Das appeared in two villages’ of the government of Tamboy. Four persons have been attacked with tho | Plague: at Rostov. A large number of Cossacks who fied from Wetlianka were found frozen to. death on tho banks of the Volga. It is officially announced at Berlin that the Greek government have received a report from the Consul st Kavals, on the Zgean Sea, confirming the rumors of the outbreak of the plague there. Malta has established quarantine against Tripoli, because of the outbreak of sickness there among troops who recently arrived from Constantinople. Reassuring Sdvices have been received at the Italian Forcign Ministry about the plague. It is believed that its spread will be prevented. Tho Golos of St. Peters- burg publishes sensational letters stating that hun- dreds of bodies of those who died from the plague in Astrachan in December remain still unburied, and corpses are strewn over eight verstsof the Enosta- Jewaker district. $ ‘THE GERMAN DISCIPLINE BILL. * Previous to the passage of the Parliamentary Dis- tipline bill by the German Federal Council Princo Bismarck took part in a very lively debate. he Tepresentative of Wurtemburg ineffectually at- tempted to further amend the bill, and those of Ba- varia, Oldenburg, Reuss and Bremen voted against the Dill. A Berlin despatch to tho Zimes reports that it is said Prince Bismarck spoke forcibly but unavailingly in the Federal Council for the retention of the clauses of the Parliamentary Discipline bill which were stricken. out by the committee. It is also rumored that the bill only passed by one vote. The repre- sentatives of Saxony, Baden, Hesse and Prussia voted for it, | TURKEY'S NEGOTIATIONS. A Constantinople despatch says the definitivotreaty tween Russia and Turkey declares peace and cor- relations to be re-establishod between Russia and 3 provides that the articles of the San Stefano treaty, which were not modified by the treaty of Ber- lin, shall remain in forco; the modo of payment of the war indemnity and compensation to Russian of Turkey who.suffered through the war is Jett for future agreement; all prosecutions for sidjng either sida during the war are aban- doped, and Persons implicated in the Roumelian flisturbances wre pardoned. The protocol declares fst the recognition in the present treaty of the Treaty of Berlin changes neither the character nor range of the latter. As Servia, Montenegro and Rou- manis are independent Russia leaves them freo to ome to an understanding for themsclves with the Porte relative to their claims for war indemnity. Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff, the Russian Governor of Bulgaria, aud the Consuls of the great Powers have left Sofia for Tirnova, to be present at the inauguration of the Bulgarian government. It is believed at Constantinople that there are differ. ences inthe Cabinet which must cause the retire- ment of either Kheireddin Pacha, Grand Vizier, or Said-Pacha, Minister of Justice. The Russian army in the Balkan peninsula is suffering much from spotted typhus fever. The Russian government has instructed General Todleben and Prince Zobanoff to prevent the Roumelian deputation from proceeding to Tirnova to protest to the Assembly of Notables against the separation of Roumelia from Bulgaria. AParis despatch to the Times reports that the Eng- Msh and French governments strongly support the scheme for an cxamination of the Turkish finances by an international commission, which shall super- intend the collection of the revenue. The Times cor- respondent at Constantinoplo states that it is an- nounced from Adriawople that the evacuation by the Bussians has already commenced. FRANCE AND THE WORLD, Governor Noyes, the American Minister to France, ‘ccompanied by the staff of the Legation and Consul General Fairchild, yesterday visited the committee on the proposed treaty of commerce between Franco and the United States.

De Lesseps, the constructor of the Suez Canal, is @ prominent and accept- able candidate for the Governorship of Algeria. Father Hyacinthe Loyson’s Old Catholic Church in Paris was opened on Sunday in a building formerly » theatre (Folies Montholon). Father Loyson said that he expected the Bishop of Moray and two other Protestant bishops would assist at tho dedication, but circumstances prevented their attendance.

AN EFFORT MADE T2 LIQUIDATE THE DEBT ON THE METHODIST CHURCH—PRESIDENT HAYES’ SUBSCRIPTION. ‘Wasninatox, Feb. 9, 1879. Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, preached in Foundry Church, in this city, to<lay. The announcement of his coming drew a large number of people, and the church, with a capacity for seating 2,000 people, was crowded. Among the distinguished persons present was President and Mrs. Hayes, in their pew; General James A. Garfield, Martin I. Townsend and J. N. ‘The bam hae es he from Luke ix., 30, 31. At the close Rev. itor of thechurch, announced that subscription books would be opened. andan effort made to liquidate a debt of $20,000 owing by the church, and all were requested to re- main seated. This announcement created a lively interest in tho audience. Bishop Simpson stepped forward to assist in making the sppeal. Subscrip- tions of $1,000 each were called for, and eight per- sons responsed at once. The canvassing was con- tinued and President Hayes was among the signers at $500. Altogether $15,500 wore subscribed. Some interesting Beemer yy occurred during this exercise.

A COLORED, VIEW. THE LOCALITY OF THE DEFEAT—TAE ZULU RACE AND THEIR HISTORY FoR A CENTURY. The defeat of the British column by Cetywayo, the Zulu chief, brings a crisis in British affairs in South Africa, It involves, as a probable result, o costly and tedious war with the majority of tho other Caffre tribes, which the Zulus will doubtless be able to bring to their assistance. On the 12th of January, as already reported, Colonel Glyn’s column had an engage- ment with the Zulus, and the British loss was set down as trifling. The conclusion of the cable despatch referred to now becomes very significant:--‘‘The Zulus offer slight resistance, withdrawing into the interior as tho troops advance. Skirmishing, with. out noteworthy result, is reported from different points.” It would appear probable from this that the Zulu chieftain pursued the tactics of inducing the British to follow him until he had separated the column under Colonel Glyn, with which Lord Chelms- ford would appear to have been at the {BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Perensnvna, Va., Feb, 10, 1879. ‘The great chureh controversy lately in progress here has received a comical turn from tho participa- tion in it yesterday of Elder L, A.

His texte were from First Timothy, the twelfth chapter of Revelation and 8t. Jude’s epistle, which he represented as showing the Roman Catholics to be seducing spirits with the doctrinos of devils and “treos, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.” The sermon itself, being drawn largely from “Fox's Book ot Martyrs,” was of the most sunguinary description. The preacher eaid the Romish judge, Pilate, and not the Jews, erucitied Christ, and that the Romish Chureh had ie acts te the apostles and early Christians, vised his hearers that they “had better go to. hell at once than join the Roman Catholic Church.” The partioular interest of tho sermon lies in the recent special efforts mado by Bishop Keane in Virginia to perech, Catholic doctrine to the negrocs.

This is not the first appearance of the Zalus as warriors. ‘hey are a branch of the Caffre race and are said to have come irom the north and to have conquered their present territory about the be- ginning of the century. Under a chief named Chaka, they overran the country as far as the southern border of+ Natal. Chaka was succeeded by his half brother, Dingan, and the latter by Panda, a full brother of Chaka. Under these chiefs the Zulus (or Zooloos) had a regular mili- tary organization, their forces being divided into bands of 1,000 men each, and each band or regiment being distinguished by different colored shields. It is authoritatively stated that in 1840 they could put 40,000 war- riors.in the field. Their progress was finally checked by that thrifty Dutch-Afri- ean race called the Boers; but the Zulus haye grown in strength, and the organiza- tion gnd traditions of Chaka have been main- tained. Of all the Cagre tribes the Zulus have been most troublesome to the British in the prosecution of their schemes of con- quest in South Africa. Since acquiring the Transvaal Republic, the Zulus have mani- fested renewed hatred to the British. Be- lieving truly that Kafirland, north of Natal, was to be made a seaboard for the new territory and that the native in- habitants were to be reduced to complete subjection, Cetywayo, inheriting all the courage and energy of his great predeces- sors, declared war, and the campaign, which has been prosecuted for nearly a year, reached a stage on January 27 when it cannot longer be treated as a small affair.

BAC COUNTRY. ———— Old Crow Denies the Charges of Murder and- Rapine. BIG HEAD’S BLUFF. Merely Went to Arkansas on a Visit. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Omasa, Nob., Feb. 10, 1879, Your correspondent arrived at Sidney on Saturday morning. Colonel Deven was already in receipt of aletter from Captain Vroom announting his arrival with the “Cheyenne remnant” that day. Snow a foot dcep had impeded their movements. An the afternoon an ambulance brought Captain Vroom, of the Third cavalry, entrusted-with the duty of bringing the Cheyenne prisoners from Camp Rob- inson to Sidney, who reported a detachment, At two o'clock consisting of Companies E and L, Third cavalry, a short distance “behind. At three o'clock sixty of the cavalrymen, in large fur caps and great coats, arrived, browned from long exposure during the Cheyenne campaign to almost the color of Indians. At four o’clock the main body reached Sidney. The Indians were in two canvas- topped wagons, each tollowed by a strong guard of cavalrymen, and the train, with provisions and camp equippage, was immediately behind. During the journey Captain Vroom had one foot frozen, and several-soldiers had frozen ears and feet, The Indians complained of cold, but none of them were frozen. The Indians were taken immediately to the guard house and unloaded. The party comprised the fol- lowing :— Wild Hog, his wife and three children. Big Crow, wife and two children. Big Head (or Tangle Hair), wife and three children. Fast Whirlwind. Pofétipiné (or'the blacksmith) and his wife, called The Enemy. Buffalo Calf,-Left Hand and his wife, and one or- phidiy Ghiid—at in @—7 bucks and 14 women and children. APPEARANCE OF THE CAPTIVES. Wild Hog, bent double by wounds, was handcuffed and double.shackled. He has good features and & well shaped head, He is six feot four inches in height and is magnificently proportioned. He smiled, as-did all the other Indians, and shook hands all around with a cordial “How,” and acted as if it ‘was the pleasantest moment of his life. Big Head, wounded through the fleshy part of the thigh, was without irons. He limped painfully, and moved forward” with “the” assistance of s ride stick. Buffalo Calf has serious wound near the’ knee, which will leave s “stiff joint.” He limped with ‘even greater difficulty. Wild Hog’s eldest daughter, a girl of sixteen, is of an exception- ally beautiful type, and was taken from the entrench- ment after the last fight, having a severe ficsh wound in the arm, rendering her sick. She was helped into the guardhouse. The remainder of the bucks were handcuffed, except Old Crow, who was always friendly and lived at the lower camp with Wild Hog at the time of the first outbroak at Camp Robin- son, The men were confined in ono cell and the women and children in another. It considered unsafe to place them together. With mosning and erying of the children and the crip; men the scene was most touching, bringing tears fo the eyes of several spectators, including officers. \The chil- dren alone gave evidence of discomfort by audible sound. Immediately after their arrival they were fod with crackers, mest and coffee, eating with great yoracity, the children clamoring principally for the coffee. Finally the doors were closed and barred and the guards wore left in charge. ‘WILD HOG INTERVIEWED. At ten o’clock yesterday morning your correspon- dent called on Captain Vroom, with John Farnham, an interpreter, and was given an opportunity to learn from the Cheyennes what they wished to say. ‘The Indians appeared in good spirits and manifested a willingness to talk. Several officers were present during the interview, which lasted three hours. Wild Hog said:— “{ was raised up among the Northern Indians. When I went down South I wae homesick. A great many of our people died, We did not got enough to | eat, and were troubled with fleas and vermin. We ‘were not used to it. We had many relatives in the North, and we had always been well used there, When I went South they told mo it was s good farming country, but when wo got thero we found the country was no better than this up here. I was wmarried to @ Sioux woman and my children wero born up here, and they preferred to live with the Sioux, The Sioux women and children had always plenty to cat at Pine Ridge Agency, and they wanted to come back where they would be used well, Wo did not think of doing anything bad. I will tell you the trath about our supplies, as you have asked it. They gavo us corn meal ground with tho cob such as a man feeds his mules, some salt and ono beet for forty-six persons to last for seven days. We ato it in three days and starved four days, They gave us coffeo sometimes, but no sugar A great many starved to desth, We had goods and provisions in the commissary, but our agent used them. The grass was so poor, our horses died and there was no wood. ANXIOUS TO TELL THR TRUTH, “Ido uot know what our agent did with the goods he had. He gave none to us or flour, though he had plenty. I wanted to come to the Sioux where my people all were, and work on the agency where my wife's friends and relatives were, I was always willing to work and have always staid on the agency, where I had enough to eat and have been a good Indian, You can ask the officers and they will tell you so, Now, lam in hurry for this trisl, and would | afraid of being poorly fed up here. sooder-kave the President, heat me tieonenand so high in authority. ‘heso Sioux always have I heard that they were getting some ploughs, wagons, cattle and good farming implements, I was in s hurry to get up here and get some of them, so I might do some- thing this summer. I had always been treated well, and was-in a hurry to leave the Southern country, while some of my people wem They plenty of farming implements. still living. were dying fast, we were not We had always been well fed up here, and thought the government would do -it again. I thought they would because I had many Sioux friends here. We did not think we were doing wroug when we left. STARVING DOWN SOUTH, ‘ “The government had not kept its treaty with us, and still we stayed there, waiting until we had tsed up everything we had buying provisions, When we had sold everything and were starving ourselves We had “hothing. We had sold everything. We thought wa had the right to come, because the government had not kept its treaty with us in any respect. Nothing that was promised us was done. Did I leave the reservation like a man who wanted to fight? I did not take a horse which did not belong to me, nor touch anything. That ie allt have got to say." Further attempts to elicit infor mation from Wild Hog with regard to the trouble a¢ Camp Robinson and concealing arms and his reason, for attempting his own life failed to elicit response. OLD CRoW’S STATEMENT. Old Crow, a fine featured Indian of about sixty years, with a prominent forehead, a frank, pleasant manner and streaks of gray in his hair, spoke with @ great deal of carnestness as follows:— “When Captain Johnson's troops left us last fall above the Sand Hills they had Lone Bear, # ‘Cute off-Sioux'—Dull Knife’s band of Sioux blood am we had to come.
