What McCook Says About Grants Strict
on Him at That Battle.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 2i.-An Associated Press
correspondent interviewed General A. McD. Nc
Cook, now in command at Fort Douglass, to-day
in regard to General Grants structures on him in
a magazine article on the battle OF Shiloh. Nc.
Cock says he will in q few days, through the
proper channels, call attention to some facts re-
garding the battle of Shiloh and his part therein,
which will show that what General Grant says
about him (McCookl in the matter is absolutely
without foundation in fact. He says General
Grant has persistently pursued him for twenty
two years. and that Grant never him at
the head or his division described !;
that the attack of the rebels at Pittsburg
Landing was complete surprise to General Grant,
and refers on this point to the published diary of
Colonel Jake Ammor, published on page $50, VOL
of the Rebellion. and other documents therein |:
also as to the second days battle to the reports of
General Sherman, General Nelson and Others ac-
companying and showing the heavy fighting, and
McCook's. Nelson's and Crittenden's divisions did
the decisive part Of ii at the very time Grant talks
so confdentislly of being able to handle the Rebels
with his own forces. After the fighting all
over he saw General Grant come to him at
head of bis line. McCook said the enemy ought
TO be pursued. Grant said he intended to pursue
them. McCook then reported that his troops had
marched al the day before, twenty-five miles,
were up all night coming from Savannah; that
without provisions and scant of ammunition.
The very Information. he says. which any intelli-
gent commander would want TO possess in case he
contem plated an onward movement. Further, the
General says, this is the first time he has ever
broken silence on this subject.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Nothing New Has Been Heard From Stew
art-The Arabs Far and Near De-
pressed by Stewards Victory.

LONDON, Jan. 2,-The War Office has just made
public dispatch received this afternoon from
General wolseley at Korti. 1t says he has heard
nothing further from General Stewart. The re-
ported capture OF Omdurman by Ell MahdPs forces
wolseley says. lacks confirmation and II is doubt
ful. General Earle's column. thoroughly pro.
visioned and equipped, composed OF artillery
cavalry and camel corps, started to-day from
Hsmdab for Berber. the march to be made Dy way
OF Abuhsmed. The enemy, which inclucdes
the entire fighting force OF the
Monassir tribe, under the command OF
Wsdgsmr. who ordered the murder OF Consul
Stewart. and the fighting men of the other tribes
under Moussa. assembled in war order at Ritz.
This 10 thirty five miles above Hamdsb, the start
ing point of to-dsy's expedition. wolseley says
both Wadgamr and Moussa boast that they are
determined 10 give battle. II so. an engagement
between these chiefs and General Earle by Mon
dsy would seem 10 be inevitable.
Earle are all in the best OF health and spirits They
regard Stewards battle OF last Saturday as a glo
rious victory, and are proud of the achievements
OF their comrades, and anxious TO meet the Rebels
on their own account. Wolseley declares the Arabs
have been depressed by the news of Stewards VIC
tory, and its effect has been great and wide
spread that, in his opinion, 1t may properly be
considered doubtful il Earle will meet with any
serious opposition before reaching Berber.

after the explosion occupied four hours The
number OF those injured by the explosions is as

Al the Tower. six injured seriously andlfourteen
slightly: at the Parliament building, four seri-
ously and ten lightly. The worst injuries re-
ceived are by Constsbles Cox and Cole, and civil
engineer named Edwin Green, visiting the Par

were in the House of Commons when the explo-
sion occurred in Westminster Hall. Most of them
rushed out of the building. and thus many lives
were saved.
