Zulu war he was constantly employed,
iirst as brigade-major Of cavalry and
then as chief Of staff to Baker Russell
IN the storming Of Sckuluni's strong
hold. Here he attracted General Wolse-
iey's personal attention, came to be
his military secretary and chief Of staff,
and gained that good opinion which he
has since maintained. On the organi-
zation Of .wolscley's first Egyptian
campaign one OF the earliest appoint
ments was that of Stewart as staff officer
to Sir Drury Lowe, who commanded
the cavalry division. Stewart was one
OF Wolseley's most trusted counsellors
in making the preparations for the
expedition. He was lieutenant
colonel at the beginning Of this cam
paign. At Tel-el-Kebir he distinguished
himself and took part in General loves
brilliant ride through the desert to Cairo.
When the Egyptians sent out a white
flag to meet the advancing British force,
il was Colonel Stewart who, at the head
Of one hundred Lancers and Dragons,
demanded and received the surrender of
the citadel. When General Graham
made his Suakim campaign against 0s-
man Digna, Stewart went with him. and
distinguished himself at Tamasi. When
the Arab charge broke the first square,
his horsemcn had lions share in re-
trieying the fortunes of the day.
In the present campaign General
Stewart was put in command of the
expedition Of 800 men sent across the
desert from Korti to Metemneh by way
Of Gakdul Wells. His recent battles
at Abu Klea and near Gubat on Jan
uary 18th and 10Th are fresh in the
public memory. lIewas wounded early
on the day of the second fight in a
preliminary skirmish. Queen Victoria
sent her personal congratulations to
General Stewart on his brave victory,
and promoted him to be major-general.
General Wolseley recently expressed
the opinion that General Stewart was
one Of the bravest officers he had ever
known. 1t was expected until within
a few days that he would recover from
his wound.

lBy cable to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, February ga number
of dispatches from General Gordon to
the Home Government in regard to the
situation of affairs at Khartoum previous
to the capture of that city are published
to-day. On September 18th he wrote
nv follows:
"How many times have ! written
asking for reinforcements, but my let
tiers have never been answered. The
hearts ofmy gallant men are weary with
this long waiting for assistance and fail
urc TO receive any words of encourage
ment which would lead them to expect
help shortly. While you eat and drink
and rest in good beds we are always
fighting"
II appears from letter dated De-
cembcr l4th that General Gordon never
said -. can hold out for years as has
been published but, on tie contrary,
had declared that food was scarce
and that relief should be sent him at
once.

But now we come to the stssngest q
all the sights in this great trison---she
gallery where the great treadwhsea
continually revolves with a dull, re-
sounding clsnk. II Is fine, we'll
ventilated hall, lighted from above. and
ION either side are rows Of grsy-coated
prisoners, the strangest collection 81
human scaramouchcs. as, clinging to
wooden bar above them, they skip
from step to step OF the SLOW
ly-turnmg wheel. and are never
an inch the further advanced
for all their skipping. A sad. terrible
sight Of human degradation--as painful
to witness. perhaps, as 70 endurc--with
a ludicrous touch about il, too, that
seems to add to the degradation. Nst
all the prisoners are at work, however,
a third OF them are resting--for eseh
mans daily task is divided into quarter
hours, Of which ten minutes are spent
on the wheel and Ave minutes sitting
down. A prisoner with 4 can gees
round and supplies those who are
resting with water. And this Is
the real hard labor Of the prisoa--ss
ordeal that all must go through who are
thus sentenced. A month on the tread
wheel is the preliminary for all who are
not pronounced unfit by the prison sur
geon. As punishment il falls most
heavily upon the least criminal; the
regular prison-bird is accustomed
to the work his muscles have
accommodated themselves to his
peculiar conditions Of life. Bat

,iously convicted the first week or tive
are of positive torture, every muscle
and sinew being racked and strained by
the unaccustomed labor. Silence, Of
course. is imperative. The lightest &C

prisoners continue to talk upon the

then the relations between prisoners and
warders are not marked by confidence
and affection. But it is rather start

prisoners toiling up their reverend

murmured, distant personal ALA

through the ward. 1, il impossible 70

warders shake their heads and sterner

War Notes from the East.
TBy cable to the Dispatch.l

LONDON, February 23.-The Daily
Neps says that on December 18th,
when General Gordon declared that
Khartoum was all right, he sent Sc
crct and confidential dispatch saying
that his troops were suffering from Il
lack Of provisions, and that General
Wolseley should come quickly by way
of Metemneh or Berber.
The French and German Governments
have cordially congratulated England
upon the victory Of the English troops
at Abu Klea.
The Daily Ners says the papers in
relation to Egypt which are to be sub
mitted to Parliament will contain the
statement from Lord Wolseley that he
sent from Dongola relative of the
Mahdi with instructions to endeayor to
make terms with the False Prophet on
condition that the Mahdi should be-
come, as General Gordon had proposed,
Sultan of Kordafan.
HOW GORDON DIED.
KORTI, February ga messenger
who was sent to Khartoum last Monday
failed to reach that city, and has re-
turned here. He said that while on his
journey he met native who told him
he had been present at the capture of
Khartoum. The native said soldiers
had killed General Gordon with swords
and spears. They considered him the
cause of their trouble, and feared the
Mahdi would spare him. All the regu-
lar soldiers Of the garrison were speared
except men who were holding Boori
Gate. He repeats the story that no
women or children were killed by the
Arabs.
THE BRITISH ADVANCE DEPRE-
GATED.
LONDON. February 23.-The Mar
quis Of Lorne publishes letter in the
PdU-MdN Gazette this afternoon, in
which he deprecates the British adj
vance against Khartoum, now that Gen
cral Gordon is dead. The British, the
Marquis contends, should be satisfied
to take up a position on the Nile to
block the Mahdi from advancing upon
lower Egypt.
LATEST PROM GENERAL BUTLER.
LONDON, February 23.-The latest
sdyices received from the Soudan state
