FROM CAIRO.
CAIRO, Dec. 3l.-Gen. Earle's brigade
of infantry has passed Meryi and en-
camped thirty-three miles from Gereni-
did cataract, which Will be reached at
noon to- morrow. The report that Mo-
nasers are advancing to dispute the mar
row pass above Dergahat, Gen. Earle's
orders allow him to extend helping
hand to Gen. Stewart If necessary. Gen.
WQlseley's plans are severely criticised
at Korti.
Native servants refuse to accompany
Gen. Stewards column, but they are
willing to accompany Gen. Earle's.
This shows the opinion OF the natives
relative to the dangers OF the two expe-
ditions. 1t is feared that in case OF a
sudden attack the Obstinacy OF the
camels would be source OF danger.
The columns are to BIO arranged in the
form Of a square If attacked. The un-
loaded camels are expected back in ten
DAYS, when Gen. Lord Wolseley, with
the main body of the expedition will
advance toward Shendy.
