The Outbreak of Cholera.
Obituary. Osman Digneh. LONDON, Apbil 30. The P. and 0. steamship Sutlej, with the remainder of the Australian . cricketers, arrived at Plymouth on Monday night. The cholera patients on board H.M. transport Crocodile are all recovering, . and the troops which the vessel brought home have been landed. It is expected that no further cases will now occur. The deaths are announced of Sir Michael Costa, the eminent composer, aged 74, and Sir Michael Arthur Bass, M.P. for East Staffordshire, aged 47. CAIKO, Afbil 29. Emboldened by the disaffection of the garrison at Berber, and the countenance which he is now receiving from the Nubian rebels, Osman Digneh is rapidly collecting supplies and men, and threatens that he will advance upon Assouan, a border town of Egypt proper, ' near the first cataract on the Nile. In view of the recent refusal of the British Government to despatch an expedition into the Soudan, the threats of the Arab • chiefs are causing much uneasiness here.
