CARO-, Aug. 4.-Gsnersl Grenfell In
his official report Of yesterdays battle
says that the Dervishes made repeated
and desperate charges upon his men.
They were met by the infantry in line Of
battle, supported by the Twentieth Hus-
sara and Egyptian cavalry. The Egyp-
tian horse artillery did excellent service.
The Dervishes numbered 5000 fighting
men. The British troops will now return
to Cairo. It has been decided that per-
mRnent occupation Of Sarras is necessary
for the protection OF tine frontier. A
movement upon Dongola is deemed use
less the government assent TO the
view OF the English generals that Bsrbsr
should be held rs the true key to the
SoudaD. The latest sdvices give the
Egyptian loss as " killed and lsl
wounded. One thousand Dervishes were
made prisoners.

a crowd waiting to catch glimpse OF

manded admittanoe. Many were psr.

telling Lieutenant Ross that If they could
only catch glimpse of the prisoner they
would kill him with rs little hesitancy as

one of them, "waB q cousin of mine, and

As he spoke he drew revolver from

compartment OF tho car where Burke was
with two officers, but before he had time
TO distinguish faces Lieutenant Ross
hustled him ID the platform.
