LONDON, Feb. IA correspondent at
Suakim teleRraphs: At last the heroic
garrison at Sinkat has been butchered.
For . fortnight they had been eating
roots and tree leaves. 1t vas q feeble
band, indeed, which made a sovtie to
die amidst rebel hOrdee. Tewfik Bey
bad haranRued his men, saying that BY
fighting they might save themselves,
but by remaining they must die from
hunger in few days, a. flight was i'm
possible. The men. thus animated with
Tewfik Bey's spirit, destroyed tho mill
tary stores, exploded the magazine, filed
their pouches to the utmost With cart
ridges, and issued forth GOO strong
against the rebels. Osman DiRman's
hordss rushed to attack Tewfik Bey,
and his men fought nobly. For Q long
time they repulsed every attempt to
break their ranks, but finally superior
numbers prevailed, and With q rush the
rebels burst through one of the sides Of
the Egyptian square. A general mas
sacre ensued, and not a soul escaped.
According to the latest reports, only
four sick men, unable to take part in
the sortie, remained at Sinkat. and they
we're spared by the rebels. Before the
sortie a rebel sheik approached Siukat
and summoned Tewfik Bey to surren-
der, saying that his life would be
spared, aud the garrison answered def
antly, reviling the rebels. During the
sortie women and children followed in
the rear of the soldiers in large num-
bers, whom the rebels killed. The reb-
els are now massing in the vicinity of
Suakim. The Sinkat contiugents have
joined the main body. An attack on
Suakim 10 believed to be imminent.
A correspondent at Cairo says the
disaster TO Baker Pasha's army caused
nothing like the sorrow which prevails
among Englishmen over the massacre
at Sinkat. There is universal feeling
of humiliation and shame that the gal
liant men of Sinkat we're killed almost
in sight Of British ships.
