Disastrous Results.

Vienna, 2S.-The Presse publishes
a recent letter from Major Zecken-
dorff, with Hicks Pasha. Major
Zeckendorff depicts the misery of
troops owing to the scarcity of
water. Mahdi, he wrote, possessed
$4,000 breech-lOading rifles, fourteen
guns and numerous excellent cav
airy, and the adherents possessed
fanaticism and would fearlessly ride
to death. Hicks Pasha had 10000
men, 5000 camels, and many pack
horses and mules. The baggage
proved a great impeachment. The
letter concludes: If our cavalry suf-
fees for outpost duty. success is pos
sible; otherwise the issue will be
very disastrous II we are defeated
not soul will return, and the entire
SOudan will be irrevocably lost,
since all natives will believe that
Mahdi is the Messiah.
