FORCED TO FIGHT.
Ei Mahdi Hl-1reats His Soldiers,
Who Know Nothing OF the Re
ported Capture OF Emin.


SUAKIM, Dee. 20.-The prisoners say
they believe that all the mounted gum
nerS were killed. All tell the same
story of privation and cruelty at the
hands of the Mahdi and Osman Digna.
None of them wished to fight, but were
farced to do SO or pursuaded to fight by
promises Of loot at Suakim and other
rewards. The trenches were bare.
They found no food, clothing or money,
but only Snider rifles and cart
ridges. The prisoners knew nothing
of the reported capture of Emin or the
fall Of the equatorial provinces. The
natives assert that HandOub would fall
at the first approach of troops. The
English government ought not to lose
this chance. The task is an easy one,
as there is not the slightest sign of any
gathering Of the local tribes. Three
zerebas and a stockade were built over
filled trenches and manned by four
Soudanese battalions and British sol
diers. The space between them and
the water forts was occupied by bat
talon of horse artillery.
