4 dispats.h has been received iron
Korti dated Yesterday, in which the
retreat of General Butler from CUBA
is further explained. This dispatch say
FL Mahdi. on the 18th inst, had beef
engaged for three days in the work o
collecting the army outside Khartoun
for an advance against the English ant
Gubat. He was loading steamers witt
guns and ammunition. On the Sth inst.
he DISPATCHED two Sheikhs with 800
men and four guns down the right ban
of the Nile to erect fort opposite tn
English camp at Gubat.
It is noticed that the quantity q
ammunition and projectiles now unde
process of manufacture and preparatlcl
at WoelWieh arsenal for transport t
Egypt is greater than the quantity sen
out of the country during the entir
period of the Crimean war. This fac
induces the belief that government
preparing for long campaign.
A dispatch from Kortl says Geners
Butler, who began his retreat fror
Gubat several days ago, was compelle
to halt at Abu Klea Wells and entrene
his troops in position there in order
safety ueIenu nl0Sen against Cl hdhu
who IS gathering in large numbers o
his line OF retreat and continual
menacing the British forces.
Special dispatches indicate that Gel
sral WOlseley will have to send strong T
Inducements to General Butler, if tn
latter Is to be rescued from his perilol
position. Grave fears are entertaine
that Butler may meet the fate of Go
don unless speedily succored.
The government has called out Il
militia, and suspended transfers !,
officers from the regular army to Il
reserves. This action has created
profound sensation and general fet
ing of alarm respecting the safety
not only the forces under Gener
6uller, bur also under Wolseley al
Brackenbury. The opinion is wide
expressed that the war Office has !
Gelyed more startling information fro
WOlseley than was conveyed in the tel
gram of this afternoon in relation
Butler being hemmed in at Abu n
Wells.
