CAIRO. Jan GA report comes from
Konti that Gen. Stewards column, composed
of $40 men and six screw guns has met and
defeated large force of rebels ut Metem-
Heh.
Inquiry at the war Office in regard to the
above report failed to elicit anything def
mite. The officials are very reticent, and re-
fuse to either confirm or deny. 1t is gener-
ally believed, however, that the government
has received important dispatches from
Egypt during the past twelve hours and
that some severe fighting has taken place
between the British forces and the rebels
LATER The battle occurred near Metem-
neh. An army of 10, 900 rebels attacked the
square in which the British forces were ad-
vanciug several times, but was compelled
eventually to retire. The rebels lost 500
killed and 500 wounded The English LOST
sixty five
When the rebels advanced the British i'm
mediately formed into square and adj
vanced upon the enemy, who made several
valorous assaults. Each of these was re
pulsed, with comparatively slight loss to the
attacked, when the enemy had to beat re

Crawl out on some old log with NY hook
and line,
Where the fishes is so thick you can see
EN- shine
As they flicker round yer bait, coaxin'
you to jerk,
Till yer tired ketchin' of 'cm mighty
nigh, MS work
On the banks o Deer Crick-allus my
| delight
Jes' to be round there, take it day el
night
Watch the snipes and kildeers foolin' al
the day
And these here little worter-bugs a-skoot
in ever way
Snake-feeders glancin' round, an dartin
EilSs.,, out o. sighl;
And dew-Gall, and bull-frogs, and light
MIN bugs at night
Take yer choice O, all the places thinl
yer rather be,
But on the banks o Deer Crick-leay
that for me
