''NEw York, March 21.-There was no
material change In General Grants condi-
tion yesterday. He worked considerably on
his book and appeared more active than for
several days past Mrs. Sartoris, who ar
rived from.Eur0pe In the steamship Baltic,
In company with Colonel Fred Grant called at
her fathers residence at $3.50 last night The
meeting between the General and his daugh-
ter was very touching. During the evening
the General received calls from several OF
his intimate friends, and later In the evening
the General appeared more cheerful than for
several days past.
Da douglass, Sands, Slirady and several
other prominent physicians recently held q
meeting and exchanged views as TO the ad-
visibility OF performing a surgical operation
TO remove the cancerors growth on the root
Of the Generals tongue. IL was decided
that the operation would have to be per-
formed, beyond doubt, but the present
enfeebled condition Of the patient will not
permit its being done at once IL will be
operated on as soon as the Generals vitality
will admit The proposed operation slavery
delicate one and will be performed by DIR.

As TO the probable result and the adyisa-
bilityof performing the operation, DIR. Lewis
A. Sayre said yesterday that such.an opera
tlon as the Dfedicdl Record describes might
be mechanical possibility and yet not
practicable. Relief might be obtained for
some time even should recovery not be sure,
but the disease itself would still be there.
TT is matter of surgical history" he said,
''that persons have had their tongues cut out
yet could talk well, eat and taste. There
are on record 1876 cases OF extirpatlon OF the
tongue when there was cancer In the mouth.
Out Of these twenty-nine were followed by

ANOTHER BATTLE AT soAklM.
LONDON, March 21.-The British troops
under command of General Graham began
another forward movement on Tamai early
yesterday morning. The troops broke camp
at daylight, each man being supplied with
only one days rations, and barely enough
water to supply his wants Tho men
marched out with everything in readiness
for action. The troops had six GaEdner
guns with them.
The rebels, as expected, made stand at
the Haskeen Hills and awaited the approach
of the British. The troops marched steadily
on, Notwithstanding desultory fire by the
enemy, until well within range, when tho
whole British front fired deadly volley into
the enemy's ranks moving them down as
though with scythe. The rebels, how
ever, bravely held the hills and hot fighting
was engaged in by both sides all the after
noon.
After five hours fighting the rebels were
driven from the Hasheen Hills and retired
slowly toward Tamai. They retreated in
good order, rallying to meet the repeated
charges Of the English cavalry. They also
replied with their Krupp guns TO the firing
of the Gardner field-pleces from the British
position. The credit Of dislodging the
rebels from their tenaciously held position
on the heights, fell to the British marines
whose forward movement and attack Is de-
scribed as brilliant maneuver. The rebel
loss in killed and wounded is estimated at
six hundred. The British had forty men
killed. 1t is believed that General Graham
will renew the attack upon the rebels to-day
Later accounts Of the battle agree In
stating that the rebels fought with bravery
amounting almost to desperation. The ex-
plot Of the marines in driving them frem
their advantageous position under such cir
cumstances was highly applauded. When
the rebels had retired to the plain the native
Indian regiments were the first to charge,
but were injudiciously pushed too far in
advance Of the main column and by flank
movement the rebels rallied and attacked
them from the rear, throwing them into
confusion. A portion Of the Sikhs were cut
of entirely and being surrounded by Arabs
were mercilessly speared and their horses
hamstrung. The Bengalese showed better
discipline and succeeded In reJoining the
English. A square was then formed which
Slowly retired The rebels were greatly
.elated and yelled furiously as they threw
themselves upon the sides OF the British
square.
They finally regained practically all the
effective points from which they had been
dislOdged, but were unable to hold them
long. After some brisk firing on both sides
the British artillery fire became so precise
and effective that the enemy suddenly broke
and again abandoned the hill. Tho English
then advanced, firing steadily. The enemy
