EXCLUDING UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANT:
Challemel Lacour's Sensational Speech
THE FIGHT AT sUAKIyI.
The Slaughter of the Arabs Condemned
in Engiand-A Plea for Annexation.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The news of the engage
ment ct Suakim was first published in the sec
ond edition of the Telegraph, The message
came from Bennett Burleigh, the TeIegraph's
special correspondent, who put concise de-
scription on the wires five minutes after the
enemy were dispersed. Gen. Grenfells official
account says that the enemy fought desperately.
but admits that no English officer was touched.
There were a number Of casualties, but the
names are yet unknown. Hope is generally
expressed that as the Arabs lost their guns, and
are, therefore, powerless against the forts, the
government win at least confine themselves to
the defense of Suakim. O'Connor's organ, the
Star, even heads the account Of the engage
ment, "A national crime" The customary out
cry is raised in favor Of annexation. Sir Lepel
Griffin says that as long as England holds Sua-
kim for the justly detested Egyptian govern
ment, the Arab tribes will swarm about the out
posts, and that the true remedy is the annexa-
tion of Suakim and the surrounding country to
the British empire. He prophesies that in six
months Suakim would then be as quiet as South
Kensington.

An Epidemic on the Horse Ranches.

SPREADING WITH SUCH RAPIDITY THAT TIE
RANcHERs ARE GREATLY ALARMED.
FoRr BALFoRD, DAK., Dec 20.-An epidemic
has broken out among the principal horse
ranches Of the lower Yellowstone. II first
made its appearance about three weeks ago and
was considered of but little importance, but il
has become so dangerous and is spreading with
such alarming rapidity that it is causing much
anxiety in this section of the country. The
disease affects the glands Of the throat, and in
the majority of cases causes a swelling which
extends from the point of the jaw to the breast,
making respiration and eating matters of great
difficulty. Thus far the favorable open weather
has saved the animals. but should a cold snap
set in great mortality will be the result.
