BRITISH REVERSES ON THE RED SEA.
The news concerning the operations of
anfriendly Arabs along the Red Sea
continues to grow more serious. Mas
nowah is almost in a state of siege,
rith GLOOMY prospects of relief. The
Arabs make attacks in force almost
every night upon Suakim, and during
the dark the firing against the garrison
Is almost continuous. The garrison is
greatly strengthened by the arrival of
40 British troops. News has been re-
peived of q desperate attack upon tho
fialaboe garrison, in which 100 of the
Garrison and 800 of the enemy were
tilled.
THE TROOPS WERE THIRSTY.
In the fight on the 10th inst, which
occurred within three miles of the Nile,
many Of the British troops were in an
almost fainting condition from lack of
water. Col. Sir Charles Wilson ordered
small detachment of cavalrymen to
obtain supply of water from the river
W cutting their way through the enc
piy's forces. The dangerous movement
was accompanied with less loss of life
man might have been expected, and
enough water was obtained to revive
the troops and enable them to continue
he attack.
THE oUTLUCKED REPORTERS.
L. al. 1,1
newspaper correspondents who accom-
panied Gen. Stewards force, is one of the
chief features of interest in to-days
newspaper news from the Soudan. OF
ave correspondents who started on the
march from Gakdul to the Nile, three
nave been killed and one wounded.
Those killed were Col. Burnaby, who
Morning Post; Cameron, of the Daily
Standard, and Herbert, of the regular
staff of the Morning Post. The best
known of these correspondents, next to
Col. Burnaby, was j. A. Cameron, who
had long and varied experience as
war correspondent. Cameron was
with Baker Pasha, when that officer
made the attempt TO chastise Ell Mahdi
after the defeat of Hicks Pasha. Came
ron was missing for some months after
shat and was supposed to be dead. He
had been captured and detained as a
prisoner in Ell Mahdi's camp, but he
eventually made his escape, and wrote
an interesting and valuable account of
his experience during his detention.
Col. Burleigh, the correspondent OF the
Daily Telegraph, wounded in the fight
on the 10th, is doing we'll.
THE USUAL ARMYRUM0RS.
The correspondent OF the News with
Gen. Stewart telegraphs that it is stated
FL Mahdi sent 1900 picked troopsto an
affiliate the British troops at Abu Klea,
but there is no more fear, now that the
British have the Nile on their back. An
sther British column is on the march,
and Gen. Gordon's steamers are issuing
supplies and materials. Metemneh is
still held by small force of riflemen
with one brass gun. The town is said to
be in great straits. A European officer
ranks. The British have captured
three unarmed rebel boats, which will
be very useful to them. All the officers
and mon are in excellent health and
spirits. The British square numbered
1900, and the force of the enemy is esti-
mated at nearly 10000 When the square
returned to the Zaraba, the day after
the fight, many OF the garrison wept for
JOY.
Particulars Of the meeting on the
bark Wellington as given by the crew,
sre as follows: The ship left Hayre for
New York en- January 81, Capt. Arm
strong in command. He had been
drinking several days before leaving the
port, and at sea increased his libations
until they brought on delirum tremens.
On the 18th, the vessel being 400 miles
west of the Scilly Islands, the captain
imagined that certain members of the
srew were in mutiny, and
lad the boatswain, the carpen-
ter and the steward put in irons
for four hours for some imaginary Of
Tense. The next day he assaulted the
carpenter, and placinga revolver at his
throat fired. Owing to Capt. Armstrong;
unsteadiness the ball missed its mark
and wounded seaman. The captain,
evidently maddened by this failure,
swore that he would shoot every man
aboard, and flourished his revolver. The
crew closed in upon the captain to dis
and was violently thrown to the deck
and his skull fractured. He died four
hours aftetward.
