the second one is grotesquely Improbable Arabs

likely 70 wait fortnight than to send a courier
TO the seaboard on the day the news came.
But with every possible allowance IN favor OF
Osman Digna's story, its falsity Is now prac-
tically demonstrated.
The letter to General Grenfell was ruse
employed by the Mahdists to prevent an assault
from the British line when their own forces
were ill-prepared for hostiities and rent with
discussions. This conclusion is confirmed by
all tho recent dispatches from Suakim' show

their leaders and challenging the authority OF
the NIahdi. The desert chiefs would nave raj

English had remained on the defensive after
receiving Osman Dignas fictitious account OF

have declared that the enemy were AFRAID to
attack the dervishes, and the desert would have
swarmed with warriors The trick did not
succeed.
