"A CRY OF "JEHA Do
HOLY, WAR PROCLAIMED BY DER
WISHES AGAINST EGYPT.
The Dervishes Are Now mastering
Mt Dongoln-NIeneIik Demands an
Indemnity of Forty Million Lire
From ItaIy-The British Govern
ment Uneasy over the Military
Situation in Africa.

London, March 22-A dispatch from
Cilro says that the khalifa has pro-
claimed jehad (holy war; against
Egypt and has called all the deryishes
capable of bearing arms to enroll UNI
der his banners. The dispatch adds
that it is said that Osman Digna is to
leave kassaIa and join the deryishes
now mastering ut Dongola.
King Menelik demands 4O,OOO,OOO
lire from Italy. This condition is. of
course, unacceptable, and further COM
plicates the situation. The Negus
forces now threaten to surround AS
mara, while continuing to advance
upon Massowah.
The dervishes made four attacks
upon the Sabderat defile near Cassala
on the 18th inst, but were repulsed
with loss. Communication with Cas-
sala has been restored. ..
The government gives evidence that
considerable uneasiness is felt regard
ing the development of the military
situation in Africa. The aggressive
movement of Osman Digna is spe-
slal source of anxiety to the British
government. A conference was held
to-day between Lord Wolseley. gen
eral; Sir Redvers Buffers, adjutant
general; Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, quar-
termaster general, and Sir Francis
Grenfell, inspector general of auxiliary
forces and of recruiting, regarding the
defense of Suakim. Preparations have
been made for the dispatch of British
. troops in an emergency, Several tons
of material were left at Woolwich for
Egypt to-day. 1t is reported that when
Ak;lsheh is occupied, Asmara will also
be occupied as an advance post.
Rome, March 22.-There were scenes
of excitement in the chamber of depu-
ties to-day and the strong current of
discomfort with the situation in Africa
amongst the people, and especially
against undertaking any further cam
paign in Abyssinia, was vigorously ex-
pressed by Radical deputies. They at
tackled the government with bitter
criticism and demanded that the gov
eminent should withdraw the troops
now in Africa instead Of sending any
more to relieve them. So great was the
disorder at one time that Signor Villa,
president of the chamber, donned his
hat and suspended the sitting for
short period.

It was suspicioned that u gang of
horse thieves was getting in their

two OF the gang approached r.. Lem
mon and wanted to trade for or pur-
chase a certain horse. The trade was
not eonsummated and a. day or two
afterward the horse disappeared and
was found later at Willow Springs.
In comparing notes and looking over
their stock Chris Dixon missed three,
Pat Flanagan six, jean Blaisdell
one or two, Pat Kelly one and Lem
mon one. Others have missed their
animals and it is thought that from
25 to 30 horses have been stolen.
