LONDON, February 2O.-General Sir Her.
bert Stewart, who was wounded at the bat
tie Of Abu Klea, died on the 10th at Gakdul
Wells, to which place he had been removed.
His death cast gloom over the entire
British army.
The news was unexpected in London and
spread ike wild FIRE throughout the city,
Coming on the second day Of the Pariia-
ment session it caused alarm TO the Liberals
and increased the possibility of the passage
of the proposed vote of censare. The names
of Gordon Earle aud Stewart are on every
lip.
A Noble Career.
General Stewards career was noble one,
though short, and his brilliant advance
across the Egyptian desert from Korti to
Metemneh endeared him to the English peo-
pie.
The battle of Abu klea Wells, in which
he Was shot, seemed at the time the turning
point for victory to the British army. 1t
was just one month ago yesterday that the
battle was fought, but in that time the
world has heard of the fall of Khartoum,
the murder of Gordon, the killing of Earle
of Bert, and the beginning of the concentra'
ZION of the forces in the vicinity OF Lord
Wolseleys command at korti. The
death of Stewart vividly re.
calls all these happenings of month,
as well as the fact that both the advance
parties sent ahead BY Wolseley toward
Khartoum signally failed. The Nile, where
Korti is situated, runs east to west aud as
cending it the stream takes great bend to
the north, making the route 10 khartoum
by way of it thrice as long as across the
desert On line east from korti is Berber;
on line south by east is Metemneh, which
is about three miles from the banks Of the
Nle on the opposite shore Of which is
Siendy. Gen. Earle was sent toward Ber-
BET and Stewart toward Metemneh, the sup
position being that Wolseley would follow
with the main body Of troops and the sup
plies.
--.r--.----H He Did Not Come. ~
Earle never reached Berber. Stewart ar.
rived at Metemneh, near which the battle Of
Abu Klea Wells was fought, and after he
WAS wounded his command fought their
way TO the river, where Stewart Was placed
on steamer and the announcement sent to
the world that his wound was not serious.
Three days ago he was announced as in a
bad condition at Gadkdul Wells, to which
place he, with other hospital patients, had
been removed, and nov comes the announce
ment of his death. He was = young man,
and although the first injured Of the three
great victims Of the Soudan, was the last to
die
The surgeons now state that General
Stewarts wound was OF such a character
that recovery was hopeless from the first.
