A NEW FOE IN THE Sun.
Three Hundred of Graham's Men Struck
Down on the March.

SUAKIN, March 26.-The English troops
marched eleven miles yesterday. The
heat was intense, and 25 per cent. of the
men fell out of ranks. Several soldiers
were sunstruck. The rear of the column
resembled routed army men marching
without their rifles.
WHERE THE REBELS ARE MAssED.
CAIRO, March 26.-The rebels are
massed near the sixth cataract of the
Nile.
A steamer proceeding from Shendy to
khartoum was fired upon, and was
obliged to return.
Ell Mahdi's people are becoming rest
less. They will not consider him the
true prophet unless he attacks Khartoum.
THE SUNS ENNITY.
SUAKIN, March 26, p. M.-The British
infantry are encamped nine miles from
Suakin, where they will remain for rest
to-day. OF 500 who fell out of the ranks
yesterday overcome by heat and the
burdens OF the march, only four are in
the hospital. The rest have returned
to duty. There is no doubt
but that sickness will be renewed
when the march continues. 1t is hoped
that the cavalry will be able to accom-
plish the object in view without the neces-
sity of recruiting infantry to march to
Tamanieb. The cavalry, with fifty Arab
scouts, have gone to-day to reconnoitre
Tamanieb. The troops biyOuacked last
night in an oblong rectangle and slept in
their accOutrements. Capt Slade Of the
reconnaissance party gall0ped within 800
yards of Tamanieb but saw now rebels.
If Tamanieb is deserted it will be burnt
and the troops will at once return to
Suakin.
WHY THE ABYSsINIAN SCOUTS WERE DIS
BANDED.
LONDON, March 26, IL: 80 P. M.-Admi-
raj Hewitt telegraphs in answer to the
inquiry of Marquis of Harrington, Secre-
tary OF State for War, in regard to the
disbandment of the Abyssinian scouts,
that they were disbanded because they
were outlaws and robbers.
DIGNA's POSITION STRONG.
SUAKIN. March 26, 11:45 P. M-The ad-
vance to Tamanieb has been DELAYED in
order to give the troops a day of rest. The
Tenth and Nineteenth Hussars and
mounted infantry advanced tonight to
the wells of Tamanieb, whittier the whole
of the remainder of the force will advance
early in the morning. The cavalry recon-
nOissance to-day ascertained Osman Dig
mas force, whose number is uncertain.
He holds rugged and rising ground at the
end of a valley where the village of
Tamanieb is situated. If Osman fights
at all it is not expected that the battle
will take place until Friday morning,
owing to the intense heat and bad water.
Gen. Graham intends to limit the march
to the clearing of the valley of Tamanieb.
The proposed cavalry expedition to Ber-
Der has been dropped. Three hundred
Arabs have joined the British camp, but
leading Sheiks, excepting Morghani, keep
alOof.

condition subsequent that by breach of

line as far as it was uncompleted on the
4th day of July, 1879, is, and has been
since said date, subject to forfeiture, and
that justice to the United States and her
citizens now requires that the forfeiture

ARTHUR AND THE NAVY.
A Message Sent to Congress Urging a
Further Appropriation.

Message Sent to Congress Urging a
Further Appropriation.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Presi-
dent to-day sent to Congress message
recommending appropriations for the con-
struction of naval vessels in which he
says: sin my annual message | inn
pressed upon Congress the necessity of
continued progress in the reconstruction
of the navy. / now deem it my duty to
advise that an appropriation be made at
the present session toward designing and
commencing the construction Of at least
the three additional steel cruisers and
four gunboats recommended by the Secre-
tary of the Navy, the cost of which, in
Guiding their armament, Will not exceed
S4.2S3, 900, of which one-half should
be appropriated for the next fiscal year.
| am unwilling to see the gradual recon-
structiOn of our navy cruisers, now hap
PLY begun in conformity with modern re-
quirements, delayed one full year for any
unsubstantial reasons. Whatever con-
ditions Congress may see mt to impose in
order to secure judiciOus designs and hon
est and economic construction, will be
acceptable to me, but to relinquish or
postpone the policy already deliberately
declared, Will be, in my Judgment, an act
of national imprudence. Appropriations
should also be made without delay for
finishing the four double turreted moni-
tors, Puritan, Amphitrite, Terror and Mo-
nadnOck, and for procuring their arma-
ment, and that of the Miantonomah."

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-The Times
Democrat says that it has not questioned
the statement that the flood is testing the
leyees in front of and above and below
the city, or that there is great apprehen-
sion of high water. The condition of the
levees above the city IS critical and seri-
Gus. ARl expenditure of 100000 now Will
save millions and prevent great suffering.
There should be no hesitation in taking
immediate action. This, however, does
not affect the statement that New Orleans
ought to and will protect her own levees,
and Is only in danger from the breaking
of the levees above the city.
THE BREAKING LEVEEs.
A break occurred in the levee at II
O'Clock last night on the west side of the
river opposite College Point. At noon
to-day it was 100 feet wide and 10 feet
deep and increasing rapidly. Reports
have been rife for some days that a Gre
vase existed at this point, and yesterday
il was said to be 800 feet wide, but no
serious break occurred there until last
night. The Mississippi Valley Railroad
officials have information that the Scott
levee, near Bayou Sara, has been swept
away.
