WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. Charles
Jonas, United Stats consul at Prague, has
sent the state department report of Bo-

while Bohemia was settled by an agricul-
tural race of people in the fifth century of
the Christian era The present population
upon an area not quite one-half rs great as

yet Bohemian agriculture to-day stands
equal to any in Europe excepting perhaps

manuring with bone-dust, etc, rotation of
crops, changes of seeds aud deep blowing.

CAEo, Aug. THE startling news comes
from Toski the scene of Saturdays overthrow
of the Dervish hordes, that documents have
been found in the abandoned camp of Wad-
ell 'jumi and upon the dead bodies of his
shekhs which prove the existence of wide
spread conspiracy, with its center among
high officials of the Egyptian army and
prominent Egyptian leaders in Cairo itself.
The invasion by Wad-el-Nj umi, with his
handful of Dervishes, is shown by these
documents to have been an incident of this
conspiracy, which was to have been followed
by wholesale treason on the part OF the
Egyptian army.
What the Disclosures Explain.
These disclosures serve to explain, what
has up to this time puzzled everybody here,
how the leader of the Dervishes expected tC
accomplish anything with the Insignificant
force he brought with him across the desert.
1t is now clear that he expected TO be joined
at the Nile by deserters from the Egyptian
army itself, headed by the traitors with
whom he had been in correspondence and by
some of the tribes upon whose friendship
Egypt had counted.
Wodehouse Too Vigorous for Them.
Just why the traitors at the last moment
abandoned the brave Dervlsh leader to his
fate, and how it came that their treachery
was not consummated is not Yet clear. Ii is
quite likely, however, that their plans were
to throw off their masks and join Wad-el
N jumi's invaders after they had crossed the
Nile, and that Col Warehouses; determine
ton to prevent their reaching the river al
all hazards and his unexpected success in
carrying out this purpose threw the con
spirators into confusion and disorganized
