GENERAL GoRDON's PLANS-CHARACTER OF EGNP-
1IAY TRooPs-FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
LONDON, April 10-The news from General Cor
don which is sent ont from Cairo by Sir Evelyn
Barring is known to be fragmentary. Large por-
tions of General GoTdons letters are quietly sup
pressed at Cairo and never come to the knowledge
OF the public. 1t is known, however, that his last
letters are written IN the suppostlo1 that Zebcr
Pacha is at Korosko on his way to Kbartoum and
also with the notion that British troops are oper-
ating Oh Berbcr Sir Evelyn Barring has been SUM
moned to England to confer with the Ministry.
Recent letters received from Nice-COnsu Power
represent KhanOum as closely beset by the rebels
upon all sides. MI. Power asserts that the posi-
tion is altogether hopeless unless British troops
shall soon bring relief lie declares that General
Gordon's idea of retreatng up the Nile to the
Equator with the intention of marching through
the unknown interior to the Congo country is i'm
practicable Nobody would survive if this course
should be attempted The hostility Of the native
tribes and the severity Of the climate would conspire
together TO make the attempt an utter failure.
Mr.. Power implorcs the Government to send even
hundred British troops to Berber, but he desires
more Egyptians.
The correspondent of the Paris Figaro in the Sou
dan gives an instructive instance of the quality of
Egyptian valor He says that he asked permission
to 90 out done shooting near military station. The
English officer commanding the Egyptian forces at
that point refused to grant this, giving his
son that if the men heard shot fired they would
Immediately take to their heels.

LONDON, April l9-The newspapers con-
tnue TO discuss the duty Of the Ancri-

to do what the English Government steadily re-
fused TO do. Mazzine who defended political
assassination as heartily as any lushman, and did
