while CALAMITY fighting with his comrades
Theenemy's firing the night before the fight pre-
vented sleep The rebels came on in good order
from right and left front, and at o'clock in the
morning our screw-gun battery checked their ad-
vance for some time. Though our position was
well protected, the rifles of the rebels made very
accurate fire. At 10 O'Clock Gen. Stewart de-
termined to make counter attack, and formed
hollow square with the Guards in front, the
mounted infantry on the left flank, the Sussex
regiment on the right and the heavy
camel corps and naval brigade in the rear. The
square moved out under a storm of bullets
Men dropped right and left, but no wounded
were left on the field. The medical staff. under
Surgeon Ferguson, worked splendidly under the
heaviest fire. Stoppages to attend to the wounded
delayed the advance. An hour before the main
body of the enemy was in sight the British real
lied that at least 1000 or 5000 rebels were op-
posed to them
General Stewart took good position on
slope where the rebels must advance up hill
and across open ground. Norton's battery did
great service when the enemy was forming for
charge, their shrapnel causing utter demorali-
cation. Colonel Burnaby was killed by spear
thrust in his jugular vein, and General Stewards
orderly was killed by his side. The interior
of the square presented to view mass of
falling camels and struggling Arabs and English
soldiers. Three hearty cheers given when
the square reformed on fresh ground. Numer-
Gus Arabs having pretended to be dead now
rose from the field and rushed past the square
to join the retreatng enemy. The rebels con-
sisted of forces from Khartoum Kordofan and
Berber.
During the night General Stewart sent
portion of the guards back to bring everything
from the intrenched post in the rear. They re-
turned in safety the morning of the 18th,
when the troops partook of the first food for
twenty four hours.
The hussars buried sixty men where the
square was attacked. The rebels had 900 special
ri6emen, all good shots. The country is rugged
and rocky, and with scant vegetation"

The News i'm London.

LONDON, JAN 2L-The news of the battle
surprised the government, as severe fighting
was not expected. Serious doubt is expressed
whether General Wolseleys force is sufficiently
strong to rea h Khartoum Colonel Burnabys
death is greatly deplored in London. He was a
favorite in all clubs and in political and mill
tary circles, where the news has been the chief
topic of conversation, the death of Burnaby is
more talked about than the battle itself. The
news was not generally known until the late
editions of the evening papers were published.
There is great excitement
ALI the morning papers contains columns of
descriptions and comments regarding Gener-
al Stewards battle. The papers unanimously
extol in glowing terms the heroism of
the troops and unite in eulogizing
Col. Burnaby, who is described as dying like
true British bull dog, with his right hand
clinehedin death about the throat of an Arab
whosespear was thrust through the Colonels
neck
