CAIRO, December 9th-Another account OF the
Egyptian defeat Suakim on the 9Th instant

hill men were near the town. On hearing this
Mahmoud Topes Pasha, anxious to efface the defeat
at Tokkan on the 9th ultimo account of which
Court-martia is pending, sent forward 500 black
troops and 200 Bashi. Bazourks against the hill
tribes He himself remained at Suakim. At a dis
lance of three hours march from town the Egyp-
tians were attacked by several thousand men, The
Egyptians fought fercely, but cut to
pieces. Fifty, OF whom half were of
GERS, escaped. This defeat of the officers
hitherto regarded as the flower of the army, caused
CONSERVATION here as it tends to show that the task
OF opening the route from Suakim to Berber with
the material at Baker Pashas disposal, is nearly
hopeless.
