AN OUTBREAK AT WOOSUNG.

MUTINY OF THE DARE-TO-DIES.

[rnou THE "N-.0. DAILY NEW{"} ·

Woosung, August 6th.

This afternoon the country about Woo- sung Forts experienced all the horrors of war, as the result of trouble, between two sections of the rebel troops. Between theso in the Forts, where the principal command is held, and those in the Chinese Institute to the weat of the Railway Station, there was a serious quarrel, resulting in what was practically the mintiny of the "Dare-to-Dies," or at least thoir officers. The upshot of the dis- covery of a plot on the part of the latter was that the portion of the regiment stationed hore was absolutely cleared out of the country.

When the plot of the "Dare-to-Dies” took active shape the Forts were prepared for them, and opened a fierce fire on their quarters and on the men extending into the country. To this there was practical- ly no resistance, the men wore hotly pursued and shot down or taken prisoner. while those who could dispersed into the country. Up to the present the casualties have been found to nunber flirty-four, twenty-four killed and ten wounded. while the prisoners total between forty and fifty, and it is feared that their punishment will be death,

The plot which led to the afternoon's appalling work was first beard of in the Forts on Tuesday night. The detaile which came to the ears of the officers were that the "Dare-to-Dies" intended to slip into the Forts surreptitiously about 21 p... by breaking in at the northern oud.
