AN ARMY ROUTED.
Baker Pasha's Force Defeated by
the False Prophet,
Two Thousand Of the Egyptian Troops
Killed and Wounded.

Baker Pasha, the Egyptian commander,
has been badly defeated by the False Proph-
cts followers. Baker had with him $500
men, and was advancing when attacked.
The losses in killed ard wounded amount to
1900 men. Baker with the remnant of his
force succeeded in reaching Trinkitat
where the gunboat Ranger is lying.
A dispatch from Cairo says the khedive
has received a telegram from Baker
Pasha reporting his defeat near To-
kar. His losses were 1000 men, four
Krupp cannon and two Calling guns. The
Turks and Europeans fought well. Baker
will return at once to Suakim with the re-
mainder of his force
The following details of the fight have
been received: Baker Pasha began
his advance from the intrenchments
consisted of 5000 troops, badly armed
and short of ammunition. and many of whom
showed an UnwillingneSs to proceed. Baker
Pasha had sent from Trnkitat to Cairo an
urgent appeal for rifles to replace the old
muskets with which members of his troops
were armed. In reply he received orders to
try to force his way to 1okar without delay
and, with the English officers connected with
the expedition, began the march, expect
ing defeat. The spies had falsely re-
the exception of small bands OF rebels. On
Monday forenoon a portion of the advance
encountered body of Osman Digna's troops
and fight ensued. which was more of a
rout than battle.
Baker Pasha lost all his camels and bag
gage in the fight Most of the Egyptian
officers and men bolted. Colonel Sar-
torius tried hard to rally them,
but without success. The Europeans
behaved splendidly. Colonel Sartorus mar
rowy escaped with his life. The enemy pur-
sued almost into Trinkitat The Europeans,
police and Turkish infantry were cut to
pieces. Fourteen European and three native
officers are missing.
The fight was begun by few Arab horse
men attacking Baker PaSha cavalry, which
fed Baker then formed a square, which
the enemy surrounded The rest of the
Egyptians then fled in confusion and the
gunners deserted their guns. Baker Pasha
was several times surrounded by the enemy,
but with his staff managed to cut his way
through.
The enemy's force was inferior in numbers
to Baker fasha's. Only three sides of a
square were formed owing to the fact that
two companies of the Egyptian troops stood
still, being overcome with fright. The enc
my poured into this gap, when the Egyptians
threw away their rifles AMI flung themselves
on the ground, screaming for mercy. The
TROOPS ON one side of the square killed many
Of their own men by wild firing.
The enemy betrayed profound contempt
for their opponents. All the stores at Trinki-
tat have been brought away.

THE SONG OF THE WORKERS.

l sing the song of the workers, the men of Ito
brawny arm,
Who give us our daily bread and keep US
from hunger's harm,
Who labor a,ar in the forest, who leaven the
fields with toll,
Who take no heed Of the sunshine, and mind
not sweat or soil.
| sing the song of the workers who harvest
the golden grain,
And bind it, and thresh it, AMI sft it, nor
care for the sting and STAIN
Who load it in creaking wagons, and stoutly
their oxen drive
And bid them good-by as they 90, like the
bees flying home to the hive.
sing the song of the workers, the men who
struggle and strain,
Who give Us their muscle and nerve, as they
guard the loaded train;
Who give us their sinew and BRAIN as they
watch the prisoned stream
And run the risk of their lives, as they pass
the perllous stream.
| sing the song of the workers, the men who
labor and strive.
Who handle for us the honey that comes TO
the human hive;
The patient and tirele,s workers, with muscles
as tou IN a, steel,
Who carry the heaviest burdens, and lift,
and trundle, and wheel.
slug the song of the workers, demanding
for every one
His just and rightful due for all the work he
has done;
For all the work Of the workers, no matter
who or where,
To each from the grand result his homes,
proportionate share.
