GERMANY AND AFRICA.

Zanzibar, January 16. The insurgent forces attacked and destroyed the German mission station near Daresnalam, on the Lake Nyassa road. The object of attack was the recapture of over one hundred free slaves, which was successfully accomplished by the rebels. The German war vessel Mowe, one of the blockading fleet, bombarded the town, which was almost completely destroyed, without injuring the rebels, who retreated to the interior after obtaining possession of the slaves, and were thus out of the reach of tho vessel's shells.
