FREDDIE" DECLINES. Ar.
thur yesterday nominated Brevet-C Colonel
A. F. Rockwell, holding the rank Of captain
and assistant quartermaster, to be ma
jor and quartermaster. This promotion ne
cessarily leaves vacancy in the grade OF
captain. AS soon as COL Rock wells pro-
motion was determined upon the President
Immediately notified Mr.. Frederick Grant
that he could have the appointment if he
desired. Owing to the fact that Mr.. Grant
was an applicant for an appointment of this
character short time ago it was supposed
that the offer would be readily accepted.
Not SO, however. Yesterday the President
received communication from Mr. Grant
politely declining the appointment. Two
reasons are given for the declination of the
offer by Mr.. Grant. 1t is said that he does
not wish to be put back in the army in ad-
vance of his father, Gen. Grant The other
reason is that he is heavily involved in
debt, and to go back into the army would
prevent him from working his way out.

Anxiety About General Stewart.

Private adviceS received 1T London LAT q
yesterday afternoon from Kortie assert that
the rebels have surrounded Gen. Stewart in
the desert, where he has taken up an Ell
trenched position to await reiu iorcem It's
from Gen. Wolseley. Deserters from the
rebel lines state that the Mahdi's officers
consider the affair at Abu-Kea Wells a
drawn battle. The Arabs were neither rout-
ed nor pursued, and fell back IL an orderly
manner, aud were not in the least demon
allied by the outcome of the engagement.
They recovered themselves SO quickly and
effectively that Gen. Stewart dared not
move, and was compelled to entrench him
self on the scene Of the conflict. The gov
eminent officials discredit the information
conveyed in the above private dispatches.
The Times, theTslegraph and the standard
have not vet received reports of the battle
at Abuklea, although they had special
correspondents in the field. The belief has
become prevalent that the battle was more
severe than the government is willing 10
admit. There is an impression that the
official reports were colored at the war
office, and that the special dispatches were
intercepted by the press ceIsors because
they contained information which would
throw an objectionable light on the affair
The War Office has received no news
concerning General Stewards advance since
the account of the battle on Saturday. This
absence of news causes considerable anx.
iety.
Private adviccs state that the rebels are
strongly entrenched at Metemueh, which
post it will be necessary for the English
forces to occupy before they can proceed to
Khartoum. 1t is reported that numerous
rebels have collected at Abu Hamed, and
are prepared to resist Gen. Earle.

have surrounded Gen. Stewart, whose line
of retreat is Threatened
