GEN. GORDON KILLED.

Elsewhere We publish the daily
kilograms from the seat of war in
Egypt.
A dispatch from Korti, where
Gen. Wolseley is encamped, da-
ted February 10th, announces
that Gen. Gordon Was killed and
his garrison butchered by the vic
t0rious Arabs.
The most horrible barbarities
were committed. The eyes OF
prisoners were gouged out, their
fingers cut of. f.tormented in every
fiendish way. the. fheir heads
severed from their bodies were
paraded on spears. Old men,
women and children. as well as
soldiers were treated with the
same demoniac cruelty.
Gordon was killed by stroke
of a dagger driven through his
body.
The Mahdi has entrenched
KhartOum so that il is thought to
be impregnabie. His emmissa
ries are scattering all over the
countries inhabited by the tol-
lowers Of Mohamet, and it is
feared the fanatical atrocities OF
the ninth century may be re-
Deated in the nineteenth.

LONDON, Feb. 6--Opinions DIFF
great Y as to the fate of Gen.
Gordon. lie has always averred
that he would never he taken
alive, and those who know him
best believe that he has been
killed. Still, it is known that the
one point toward which El Nah,
iii has devoted his best energies
during the past year has been
Q capture Of Gordon alive. So
long ago as August. 1884. Gen.
Gordon wrote to his sister in
London that she need have no
fears for his personal safety, be-
cause he had IA charm Cor his life
which he would not explain to
i,er beyond saving that it came
from his trust in the Almighty
Other private letters received at
about The same time, aud only
now made public. say that EI
Mahdi had ordered that all his
soldiers must shoot wide of Gen.
Gordon, and that any one who
killed nr even wounded he great
intidel should be punished with
death.
The battlefield. at Ell Oheid,
VIII re the army OF Hicks PaSila

with posts to show where va ious
officers met their fate, and Ei
Mahdi has solemnly assured his
followers that he would some day
show them Gen. Gordon chained
to The post which marks The spot
where Hicks was killed, but
those who know Gen. Gnrdnn
believe that before he shall be

among the army officers is that.
