| LONDON, Feb. pa number oil
| dispatches from Gordon 10 the home
| government IN regard to the situation
of affairs at kharteum previous to the
surrender of that city, were published
to-day, written on Nov. 4th. Gordon
declined to agree with the home gov
ernment that the expediGsn under
Wolsely was for the purpose of rescu.
ing him, but was, he says, designed
to rescue the garrison at Khartoum.
On Sept. IS, he wrote as follows
How many times have I written
asking for reinforcements, but my
letters never have been answered. The
hearts of my gallant men are weary
with long waiting for assistance and
failure to receive any word of en-
couragement that would lead them to
expect help shortly. While you ate
and drank and slept in good beds, we
were always fighting" 1t appears
from a letter dated December 14th
that Gordon never said Il can hold
out for years." as has been published,
but on the contrary declares that
food was scarce and relief should be
sent

all directious during the past eight
months. Do not send private letters
to me, as the risk is too great. Do
not write me in cipher. have none
and it's no use. Madhi knows every
thing. Take road from Abullat to
Metemneh. You need not fear Madhi.
Both the Greek consul and the Aus
trian consul are safe. Madhi has
captured a letter from the king of
Abysinia to me. Your expedition
is for the relief of the garrison of
Khartoum which l failed to accom-
plish, ana 1 decline to admit that it is
for 10 rescue me, personally.
A letter from Gordon dated Sept.
9th contains the following: We have
sufficient money and provisions here
at Kharteum to last four months. At
the expiration of that time we shall be
embarrassed. AtSenar..there is dhoura
enough. The garrison at Galahat and
tho people of that neighborhood are
continually fighting, and the inhabi-
tants are opposed TO the false Mahdl.
Although we wrote you IL was impos-
sible to send Stewart to Berber on ac-
count of many things which have
happened here, we afterwards saw fit
to send him, together with the French
and Enplish consuls. in a steamer to
Denrola. to communicate with the
British commander there concerning
