minds that while STANLEY had escaped,

had been captured. An Indian Mo-
hammpdan trader, however, who ar

states that he was at Khartoum u"
November, and knew that three
Egyptian officers had been captured
in Elnin's territory by the Mahd2s
men. bu, that Emin himself had es-
caped, the general attack on the
Equatorial Provinces having failed.
He reported, also, that FL Senoussi,

monks, whose principal seat is in the
interior Of Tunis, are defeating the

confirms, to the statement which makes
the Mahdi victorious in WnCai. The
trader admits his hostility to the

OF his wealth, ana he may he desirous
