TAMAf SPRINGs-noon. = Our forces

pied the village of Khor. We encoun-
tered slight opposition on the partof the

LONDON, April ga. special dispatch
received from Suakim SAYS: General
Graham commenced the advance on
Tamanieb this morning. He had not
proceeded far before he found the
enemy strongly entrenched just beyond
TaxRssi- Gletrers1 GsskReQ inInediately
attacked the Arabs position and the
battle is now going on. r-.as h
A later special from Suakim says:
1.-THE enemy retreated in the direction of
Tamanieb. The British then burned
lanai. General Graham lost one man
killed and twelve men wounded during
the fighting" ~
LONDON, April 3.-Conhicting dis
patches received from Suakim this
morning in regard to the movement of
General Graham s force leave general
impression of uncertainty as to what
has actually been the course of events
to-day. The belief here is that there
has been no fighting to speak of, and
that the casualties are very slight.
Official dispatches state simply
that four men we're wounded. Other
dispatches, however, say one man was
killed, and from six to twelve were
wounded. The British found the water
at Tamai bad and insufficient and after
setting fire to the village returned to
the zareeba.
DoNGoLA, April 3.-The Mudir of
Dongola and his staff started for Cairo
to-day. The farewell was a cold one
and some natives threw mud at the Mu-
dir. &EAt
SUAKIM, April 3.-The advance to
through deep -rayines. There were but
few rebels about, and these few retired
after an exchange of shots. After
burning Tamai, the British returned to
General McNiell's zereeba. The cavalry
will return here. The British loss during
the day was one killed. eleven wounded
enemy's loss slight. General Graham in
tends to push the railway as far as
Handaub and move this camp thither
1t is feared the scarcity Of water at
Tamai indicates similar want at other
places in the hills.
SUAKIM, MIDNIGHT, April 3.-Several
hundred Haddendowas have passed
from Hasheen towards Handaub. The
scout to-day. found property belonging
to Lieutenant Richardson, the corporal
and the two priyates missing since
March ed. 1t is feared they we're cut
off and killed by the rebels. NO.
