ATTACKED BY ARABS.
General Graham's Troops AID.
yancing From Suakim.
1he Arabs Get Within Ten Yards
Of the British Line.

The whole British force started from Sua.
kim at Z o'clock, A. NJ, with a days rations
and q hundred rounds of ammunition to each
man, in the direction of Hasheen. Before
tho order was given to march, General Ora
ham inspected all the troops except the
Shropshire, Berkshire and Surrey regiments.
Five hundred of the enemy were seen on the
hills near Hasheen. The cavalry, the
mounted infantry and the Indian infantry
we're sent to reconnoitre, while the guards
acted as O reserve. The enemy reiterated be-
.ore the British advance.
The mounted infantry and scouts, support
ed by the main body of all the troops march
ing GOO yards behind, advanced to the base Of
the range of low hills near Hasheen. The
Indian contingent and the cavalry in this
movement secuted and skirmished on both
sides of the line Of march along the entire
front. The scouts reached the summit Of the
hills, and discovered that the Arabs had
massed in the valleys. The Arabs at once re-
tired into positions Of shelter, only fifty re.
position until the British advance
reached the ridge of the hills. The Haden-
dowah tribe of hostile Arabs then rushed
from the ambush in which they had lain and
made an attack. In this skirmish Captain
Birch was speared through the shoulder. The
Arabs succeeded in getting within ten yards
of the British line before the latter opened
a regular fire, which the enemy promptly re-
piled to. Three Of the infantry and several OF
the Hadendowahs were wounded. Four Of
infantry were killed. Among these was Lieu
tenant O'Con1ur, whose horse had been shot
from under him.
The object of the reconnaissance having
been obtained the British retired, the Arabs
showing no disposition to follow. The Brit.
ish infantry and the guards We're left on the
road half way between Suakim and the
Hasheen hills, supporting the Indian con.
tingent. In the brief engagement on the
ridge the Bengal cavalry took many prison
crs. 1t was ascertained that the Arabs
were in large bodies along the entire
range of hills, and were evidently massing.
As the British retired, the rebels rapidly
reoccupied the positions previously evacuated
iy them.
After the skirmish, General Graham's right,
consisting of British infantry, Indian infantry
and the Guards, began to advance toward
cavalry, renewing the reconnaissance, occu
pied Hasheen and found Osman Digra with
drawing his forces toward Tamai. The con-
centration of the Arabs was effected in un-
usually good order.
General Graham has written a letter to
Csmar Digna, in which he declares that Eng
land respects all religions and desires the
friendship of the Arab tribes. He advises
Sheikhs TO submit at once and to rely upon
the mercy Of England otherwise he threatens
to destroy the aock3 and other property of
their followers.
The Mahdi's a'hsrents declared that before
the summer is far advanced General Wolse'
ley's army will be cut off from Cairo.

Sonnet to q Pumpkin Pie.

o, luscious, toothsomo Pumpkin Pie,
To thee n humble knee We bend,
And pray that Providence to Us may lend
A mouth AMI stomach equal TO our eye,
Which could devour innnitndes Of thee,
AS there thou licst in such niatchless state
Upon the ancient Drowned and bllckencd
plate,
A work Of art most rapturous to see.
Thy dimpling surface, round as Luna's orb,
Is fecked with changing shades Of mottled
brown
Which could defy cen Titian's glowing
brush
And make Of Tintoretto's work a daub.
Thou art Of pies tho king, with fitting crown
Of pearly pastry lined with softest plush.
