CAIRO, Feb. 6.-Baker Pasha and his
troops have been defeated by the rebels and
driven back upon Suakim. The losses OF
the Egyptian army amounted to 1000 men,
four Krupp cannon and two Calling guns.
A portion of Baker Pasha's troops left
Trinkitat Saturday and threw up in
trenchments Oh the shore OF a lagoon
four miles distant The rest Of the
troops followed Monday. He had
intended 10 advance 10 the well of Teh, five
miles farther and half way to Tokar. Moth
| ng.lnore was heard of him until the news OF
his defeat was received Tuesday. This dis
astcr was not unexpected, as his forces con-
sisted of $500 raw and badly-equpped re-
cruits. some Of whom had been sent to the
front without arms and others with only
muskets.
At the beginning of the fray the camelS
| and baggagencn turned in flight and most
OF the Egyptians bolted, despite Colonel
! SartornS' earnest endeavOrS to rally them.
| The enemy followed the .ugtivcs almost
into Trinktat. The Europeans, police and
| Turkish infantry were cut to pieces, and
fourteen European and three native officers
are missing. The fight was begun
by few Arab horsemen attacking

a Suaklm dispatch says tilat the enemy
surrounded and destroyed TeWfk Bey and
400 followers between Sinkat and the coast
while attempting to cut their way through
the enemy.
All special DISPATCHES agree that TOkar
and Smkat are hopeesslv lost. The fact
that the British gunboats have left Trinki-
tot creates bad impression upon the minds
of Egvntians and encourages the rebels in
their fauaticism.
The Earl of Derby, British Colonial Sec
Rotary in a speech at the Liberal dinner
last nigbt said the Government would not
engape the honor and resources of En-
Gland in the task of recovering the Sou
dan. The Government has 10 intention of
converting the occupation of Egypt into an
nexation.
