MOVE ON DONGOLA STARTED.
Description of the Dervish Fortifications
at FL Hafr.

AS soon as the news of the evacua-
ton of Ell Hafir was received the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press pro-
ceeded to cross the river and make
a survey of the enemy's late position.
1t was found that their mud defenses
had been built with great care, but
the rifle trenches only permitted
the men a very short and straight
front for protection. Mats were still
strewn along and within the trenches,
and in the straw shelters were the re-
mains of the carcasses of sheep which
had been killed to supply food to the
defenders. Further south on the river
bank was found their biggest battery.
This work contained FIVE embrasures
for guns, three in front and two at
the side. This battery had been ter
ribly knocked about by the artillery
fire from the east bank and from the
steamers.
Still further south was a big entrench-
ment facing towards the north and
on the Nile. In this entrenchment IL
was apparent that the rihemen had
made a plucky resistance, staying In
the trenches all day and eating where
they lay, as was evidenced by the
quantity of dates and -gourds ly-
ing about. Wad Bishara decided to
evacuate his position during the night
He was able to remove his guns, but
he was forced to leave behind a great
quantity of ammunition for both the
artillery and rifles. The dervish steam
er which was sunk by the expeditions
horse battery was said to have also
been loaded with ammunition and guns.
Yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock the
troops of the expedition began cross
ing the river. McDonaids brigade was
the first over and the soldiers were met
with the widest and maddest signs
of delight by the natives. They shouted
i'm a frenzied manner and danced about
the troops, singing and shouting like
lunatics The first use made of the
captured dervish boats was TO trans
port the Second brigade to FL Hafir,
which il a very fertile spot, Offering
plenty of green heritage for animals

and desert sands of much of the march.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Joshus lowering
the Prohibition candidate for president,
spoke here Saturday evening and said In
part: "As a political organization the
Prohibition party does not attempt to say
what a man shall eat or drink, any more
than what he shall wear or where he shall
live Its whole relation to the liquor
traffic Is connected with or related TO
public policy. The principle of prohibit
ton is what differentiates savagery from
civilization. Holding that a saloon Is q
nuisance, the Prohibition party insists
that the same principle be applied to 1t as
Is applied to other nuisanoes and demands
that it be abolished"
