GEN. sTEwARTs's WOUND.
LONDON, Jan. 2o.-Gen. Wolseley tele-
graphed from Korti this morning that
he had received reports from surgeons
at Gubat, stating that Gen. Stewart is
doing well. No attempt has been made
to extract the bullet. The bullet en-
tered the thigh and is now lodged in the
region of the groin. The hospital for
the wounded and disabled of
Gen. Stewards command has been
pitched on the bank of the Nile.
All are housed in cosy tents, provided
with comfortable beds obtained from
the natives. In view of the many hard
ships and deprivations, which the
wounded men had suffered, and the al
most constant moving to which they |
have been subjected, most of them are |
making wonderful progress towards re-
covery. In the cases of about two-t thirds |
of the wounded, the injuries are very
bad. Among this class great number |
Of surgical operations are still neces-
sary. AS many as possible of the |
wounded have been sent back o GalIdul
wells. Supplies in the vicinity of the
post ut Gubat are plenty. The army
will make no demand on their bare sup
| plies If the natives continue able to pro-
duce what is needed.
GEN. EARLE's COMMAND.
Advices received at Hamdab last

left there for Berber on Monday last,
under Gen. Earle, state that the Black
