the Nile Confirmed.
CAIRO, May %. "A letter has been re-
ceived by the ministry here which is be-
ieved to contain direct details of the de-
feat of the mahdi's forces by troops and
allies of Emin Pasha. The letter was
written from Omdurman by Mohammed
Ell Bernvia, one of mahdi's officers. He
writesthat he accompanied the force
which the mahdi's successor sent up the
line a year ago to conquer Emin Pasha.
-, Their Progress Impeded.
They were stopped by the vegetable
growth, which sometimes spreads over
the Nile SO thick that steamer cannot
force its way through. While they
were cutting a passage through they
were suddenly attacked by Egyptian
officers in the service of Emin. The
mahdi's forces were completely de-
feated.
The Slaughter.
Their boats stuck in the middle of the
river, and all the enemy had to do was
to fire at the mass. A large number of
men were killed and still more were
drowned in the efforts to get ashore.
Those who escaped retreated as fast as
possible down the Nile.
