DR.. REYBURN, one of the late Presi-
dent Garield's physicians, supplements
DR.. Bliss claim of $25, 900 by putting in
his bill to the Board of Audit for O,OOO
He claims compensation at the rate of
800 per day for sixty-seven days and a
like amount for the alternate nights spent
at the late Presidents bedside. These
two claims, if allowed, will exhaust the
appropriation for medical services, as the
total amount appropriated for this pur-
pose was only $4,000. Neither Drs.
Agnew or Hamilton have put in claim
as yet, but it is said they will do SO for
$4,000 each. DIR. Boynton and Mrs. Ed
son are not recognized by the attending
physicians in any other light than nurses,
although DIR. Agnew has requested de-
decision from the board as to their
status. ....-

In the fight at Kassassin a msjolty of the

being slashed by the Life-Guards' swords.
Many thus escaped who would otherwise have
been struck down. The corpses of the Egyp-

ground. An officer who was present says the
cavalry charge was ordered for the purpose of

Communication has been established to Ma
huta by telegraph. an thence to the advanced
front by helioscope.
A correspondent who went over the ground
to-day wednesday, says: 1.-The scene was hor
rible beyond description. The bodies Of the
Egyptian soldiers were hacked and slashed al
most out of semblance to humanity by the
long broadswords of the guards. One young
officer still held an unlighted cigarette in his
stiffened fingers. Two of our guardsmen lie
dead in tent at Kassassia mutilated in such q
manner as will bring everlasting infamy upon
the Egyptian army. The work done by the
Househould troops demonstrated once for all
the fearful power of these ponderous horse
men against undisciplined foot soldiers or
even good troops when takea by surprise.
The guards burst like an avalanche on the
timid musketeers, some of whom fired after the
troopers, who returned and saDred them. Our
men were much infuriated by the harassing
attacks made upon them during the day"
