government are making far too light of the
 revolution in the Soudan and are making this worse by endeavoring to conceal the truth The. latest despatches show that since the Kababish tribe joined Fl Mehdi the rebels have choked up the wells and thus far ren- dered it impossible to use the caravan routes. The entire bank of the Nile up to Berber over two hundred miles above Khartoum ap pears to be lost It is impossible to send troops to relieve the garrisons there and it is expected that in consequence of the water famine they will be compelled to surrender. El Mehdis forces have completely overrun the province of Kardofan, placing garrisons at Bara and Obeid, while the main body is marching on Khartoum as rapidly as the difficulty of the country will permit It is not believed here that Khartoum can be suc- cessfully defended by it's present garrison and much uneasiness is felt regarding the situa- tion, especially by those interested in the profitable trade with the Soudan.
 Abdel Keder, the governor of Soudan, tel egraphs from Khartoum that he has defeated El Mdie's followers and occupied Senaar. He claims the rebels lost two thousand men while the Egyptian loss was slight.

 EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 5.-The river is receding slowly here, but on the bottoms above and below this city considerable suffer ing exists The needy, however, are obtain ing all the assistance necessary. Thus far the funds are ample and the relief commit tee is doing excellent work. Representatives of the State board of relief from Indianapolis arrived here this afternoon on visit of in spection.
 ARKANSAS CIrY, March 5.-The water is rising steadily here. All the residents have from one to two feet of water on the lower floors. If it continues much distress may result.
 CAIRO, Ills, March 5.-From here to Kick man, forty-f five miles, the river is ten miles wide. Thousands of farms have been devas- tated. Many people are still on the roofs of their houses. Cattle and hogs are floating by in pens.
 V1oKsBURG, Miss, March 5-The reports of damage between Friars' Point and this city on the Mississippi side of the river have been grossly exaggerated. The levees are The planters are very busy ploughing and putting in their crops.
 MEMPHIS, TENN March 5.-The water was level to day and within six inches of the highest point reached last year. fall of over three feet has occurred at Cairo since Tuesday last. This will cause g decided change here within the next few days. The duration of the present flood is much shorter than last year. Except to the railway lines stopped by the overflow comparatively little harm has been done. The government levees are all intact except in one or two unimportant places and have been of inestimable advan- tage to the entire lower Mississippi river valley. The past week of clear, dry weather has been busy one with planters. Plough ing has progressed vigorously and vast area of tillable land is ready for corn and cotton. No unusual sickness has yet been reported and none is expected beyond that generally resulting after every high water season.
 HELENA, Ark, March 5.-The water is still rising from this city to the sunken land. In distance of three hundred miles only few mounds are above water. Eight per sons have been drowned. The whole coun- try resembles sea. Many houses, the oil mills and elevator under water. There is danger that the levee will break. If 1t does the damage will be immense.
