The British Troops Retreat.

KoRTI, February 19.-General Sir Red
vers Butler, who was expected to attack
Metemneh on Sunday last, sends word that
the rebels appeared in such force as to
make the result of an attack doubtful, and
in the absence of positive orders to move
upon the town, he considered it advisable
to retire from his somewhat exposed posi-
tion, and await reinforcements. He, there
fore, abandoned Gubat and retreated as
far ds the Abu Klea wells. The movement
was conducted so promptly and unexpect-
edly, that the Arabs did not notice it
until several hours after the march
had begun, and the column was not
molested. He intends to further retire as
far as Gakdul, and there wait for orders.
1t is now believed that he will be instructed
to continue his retregrade movement to
Korti, and that no further attempt to ad-
vance will beImade until the remaining regi-
ments of the expedition have arrived at
misplace, General Butler reports that the
Mahdi is advancing toward Metemneh with
5000 men, and was within twenty miles of
that place when. the English began their
retreat. An advance force of 5000 men
had reached within seven miles of Gubat.
They were we'll armed and carried five
field pieces '.

road at this point forms a curve, with a
pretty steep embankment on the inner
side and hill on the outer side. The
passenger train, which was coming north,
was passing under the arch of the viaduct,
and met freight train just at the north
ern entrance of the arch. The curve is
such at this point that neither engineer
could have seen the light of the other 8
train until the engines were within ten
yards of each other. The engines came to-
gether with such shock that heavy pieces
of iron from both We're thrown twenty or

GEN, STEWART DEAD.
General Buffers Forces Closely
Pressed by the Arabs.
Ihe Situation In the Soudan Desperate, and

KoRTI, February 20.--General Sir Her
bert Stewart, who was wounded at the
battle of AbuKlea, died on the 10th at
Gakdul Wells, to which place he had been
removed. His death casts a gloom over
the entire British army.
LONDON, February 2O.-The news of
Stewards death spread like wildfire
throughout London, and on every side ex.
pressions of regret were heard. The

, WASHINGTON, February 20. General R.
H. Coiston, formerly an officer of high
rank In the service of the Khedive of
EGYPT, and now resident of this city, is
quoted In the Baltimore Sun to-day as say
ing that he regarded the latest news from
the Soudan as portending grave disaster
10 General Wolseley's expedition, if not the
total annlhllation of the British forces.
General Colston is thoroughly familiar with
the country which is now the theater of
war, having been the commanding officer
OF TWO military and scientific expedi.
tlonS OF exploration in the Soudan. For
two years he lived among the Bedouin
| tribes now in insurrection. General Coils
ton argues that General Butler would not
have abandoned his position at Gubat un-
| less he had been compelled to do so by the
dlrest necessity. At Gubat he had plen-
| tlful supply of water from the Nile, and in
his intrenched position there was able to
avail himself, not only of the river
| as means of defending one side
| OF his camp, but also Of the two
steamers sent down by General Gordon
which could be so placed as to enflade the
| enemy. The British doubtless thought that
the Mahdi was advancing with an over
whelming force, and the only prudent
course left them was to endeavor to effect
their escape in time Unfortunately their

tercepted, or overtaken and compelled to
give battle at two points-Abu
klea and Gakdul-before reaching
korti. Even should they succeed in
reaching Kort and affecting junction
with Wolseley, the extrication of the Brit.
ish army would, in General Colston's opin.
ion, still be problematical. Earle's column
has yet to be recalled, and even supposing
three divisions of the British army had
been successfully concentrated at Korti the
question presents itself whether General
Wolseley, even by retreating, as is propos.
ed, to Debbeh, could hold out until relieved
from Suakim, or Massowah, OF effect his
retreat down the Nile Valley.

THREATENING.
The Porte Expresses a Desire to
Govern Egypt.
Encouraged by France and Russia-Ths
Peace of Europe in Danger.

LONDON, February 22.-The Post this
morning says Musurus Pasha, Turkish
Ambassador to London, with Fehmi Pasha,
Turkish Special Commissioner, called on
Earl Granville Saturday, and commun-
Gated to him an important Constantinople
dispatch he had just received regard
ing Turkish Intervention in the Red
Sea. England and other powers
have asked the Porte to occupy the CHIEF
ports of the Red Sea, but this request has
been refused, unless the British shall evac-
uate Egypt, and the Porte be allowed to
garrison Alexandria. France and Russia,
the Post says, have been influencing
the Porte to pursue a policy which,
if carried out, will be certain to disrupt
the friendly relations of Turkey and Eng
land, and compromise the peace of Europe.
If the course of Fehmi Pasha, as suggested,
to Granville, should be carried out, it would
resuscitate the Eastern question, and the re-
snlt be beneficial to the Porte. Granville is
disposed to again favor Turkish
intervention in Red Sea ques-
tions upon condition that Turkey
is in accord with England and her allies,
and not as an instrument of hostile powers.
The Standard says the Porte has sent to all
the Powers protest against Italy occupy
ing Massowah. There is great indignation
in Constantinople, the Porte believing Italy
has secret treaty with England. fu

ROBBING 4 MILLIONAIRE.
The Thief First curting the Telephone and
Burglar Alarm Wires.


A bold robbery was committed at the
residence of Charles Ray. the million
aire, on Prospect avenue, in Milwaukee.
An experienced craftsman visited the
house, cut all the telephone, telegraph,
and burglar alarm wires, and then cut
his way through the rear door. All the
the family plate was in the vault, and
could not be reached. After searching
the lower part of the house the masked
robber visited the servants quarters
above and awakened two girls who were
In the room. he held q revolver 10
their heads, and made them 60 down
stairs and call Mrs. Ray, telling her
they were sick. When Mrs. Raw
opened the door the burglar told her Il
she uttered word he would blow her
brains out. She was ordered to call
her husband and did so. The burglar
made the women stand in line, under
the penalty Of death if they moved.
When Mr.. Ray came down he was
ordered to get all his cash and ieweIrv.
which he did, the burglar covering him
with revolver. Jewelry and money
amounting to nearly 81 900 was handed
the robber which he pocketed, and then
made Mr.. Ray escort him to the front
door and let him out. Mr.. Ray after
ward raised an alarm, but the thief had
taken the 3 o'clock train for Chicago
and escaped. Policemen have gone 70
Chicago in search OF him. No descrip-
ton Of him can be given, except that he
was Of medium size and strongly built,
that q large black mask covered his
face.
While Mr.. Ray was going through
his pockets to get his watch, iewelry,
and money a little daughter who was
sleeping in the same room quietly left
her bed, gathered her own iewelry from
an escritoire, and returning to her bed,
placed it under her pillow. This was
the only jewelry in the house not locked
up that escaped. 1t is said that the
loss is much heavier than reported. Mr..
Ray is we'll known In Chicago, where
he has branch commission house. His
residence is ssburglar proof" and the
finest ia Milwaukee. When the burglar
was leaving the house he said to Mrs.
Ray beg your pardon, madam, for
disturbing you at this late hour for the
trifing amount that have secured, but
it has to be done in our business, and

obtained Of his identity, Mr.. Bay said:
II regret didn't ask for his card. /

gentlemanly visitor had cut both tele-
phone and police alarm wires, SO that no
alarm could be sent out by any member
