T II 4 BRITISH GOVERNMENT
WILL RELIEVE THE BEsIEG-
ED KASSALA 0ARRIS SON.
THE SALV VATI0N lists.

1ONDoN July 1f.-In6 intention O.
the Government to relieve Kasyala,
announced In the House Of Commons by
Under Secretary Bourke this evening,
has caused great satisfaction. Kassala
Is the second city in the Soudan. 1t
has 10000 Inhabitants, the majority of
whom are peaceful, industrious and en-.
terprising Arabs. Its garrison, which
consists of about 5000 Egyptians, has
heroioally withstood siege which has
already lasted more than eighteen
months, and is, therefore, one Of the
longest in history.
There has for some time been an out
cry for the rescue of these brave fellows,
aud it is admitted ON all hands that 1t
would be D sad stain on England's honor
II they were to be sacrificed like garri-
sons at Khartoum and Berber. On the
othAr hand the pkblis would protest
against English troops going to their
relief, In view of the miserable failure
of the operations around Suakim and
the terrible reports of suffering, disease
and death that come from all the points
In the Red Sea littoraI where W hite men
are stationed.
The Government, however, has made
an arrangement with King John of
Abyssinia, whose territory nearly ad :.
joins that of Kassala. This monarch
has undertaken, for . consideration OF
G100, 900, 10 bring the garrison and such
OF the Inhabitants As wieh to leave to
MassO Owah, on the Red Sea coast, where
they will be in safety under the pro.
lection Of the italian military expedi.
tion. and whence they can be sent by
sea to Upper Egypt.
THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.
MADRID, July 27 Returns from all
but five of the cholera infect d ldistric.s
in Spain place the number of the new
cases of the disease at 2542 and 919
deaths.
The contagion has spread to the pro.
vin0s of Logrono, where there are now
several cases. The largest number Of
cases occur in Saragossa. The late
storms appear to have an adverse effect
on the epidemic. In some places dis
tressing scenes are witnessed. Many
bodies are unburied. A majority of the
inhabitants have fled, and the remand.
er are incapable of attending to the
sick.
The troops stationed at SaragOssa
have been supplied with guitars to keep
up their spirits. The music of these
| Instruments can be heard day and
night.
