0sman Diqna Defeated

SUAKIN, March 1910 A. M.-Tho rebels
opened fire on General Graham's forces at
l O'Clock this morning. The British forces
at once formed 20 repel n charge, but no
attack came. The men were thereupon or.
dered TO lie down again. The fire of the
rebels continued all night, but the British
did not reply. One officer and two men
were wounded and one man killed. Fight
ing began at daybreak. The infantry and
artillery completely routed the enemy
from their pits and trenches. The battle
had not lasted more than half an hour
when the victory for the British was made
certain.
LONDON, March 13-NooN.-A dispatch
from General Graham dated "Osman Dig
mas Camp, March l3, 1l:40 a. M" says:
The camp of the enemy has been taken
after hard fighting since 3 O'Clock this
morning. Over seventy British killed, and
hundred wounded"
SuAKB, March l3--The battle to-day
between the rebels and Graham's forces
was series of desperate, close Sights.
One time during the battle a large
force OF rebels charged upon the Second
Brigade like men inhamed with des.
perate ferocity, shooting, yelling, and ut.
terly needless Of death. They succeeded
IN capturing all the Gatlngs and
Gardiners belonging 20 the brigade. Ora
ham Immediately ordered "A bayonet
charge. The gallant troops went for the
enemy and fearful hand TO hand fight en-
sued for the possession Of the guns. Tie
British finally succeeded in recapturing
the latter, following up the advantage, and
continued TO press the rebels, who couldn't
run, but continued TO retire slowly, striking
blow for blow, until driven beyond their
camp, when Graham ordered a halt. Os-
mans camp was found full of loot. The
British loss Is 100 men killed, many Of whom
are officers, and 80 wounded. The rebel
loss Is 2,40O killed.
