THE EGYPTIAN WAR.
The Battle OF kassala-A Scheme to Sup.
ply Gen. Graham's Army
With Water.

LONDON, Feb. 26.
The following particulars of the battle
near Kassala, have just been received from
Suakim. The Hadendowas attacked the Has
sala garrison, which under command, had
sailed out to cover the entry of convoy of
grain. The garrison made hasty defence
works on an opening west of the city, and re-
ceived the onslaught of the Hadendowas with
such a terrible fire that the latter fell back
i'll confusion, with heavy loss.
The Shukoore tribe who brought the grain
for Kassala, then attacked the Hadendowa as
on the flank and rear, while the garrison
troops advanced to attack their front. The
Hadendowas became panic-stricken and fed
in ali directions. Their chief was killed.
The Shukoores occupied and destroyed Phil
lik, the headquarters of Moussa, the second
chief of the Hadendowas
An extraordinary scheme has been pro-
posed for supplying Gen. Graham's army with
water, in its advance across the desert from
Suakim to Berber. This scheme is none other
than the laying of pipes in sections through
which there can be conducted condensed
water. The war office has had this plan un
deratlon and has given its sanction to it.
