one of the four generals of the late
Mahdi. and was by the latter pro-

by the usual oriental method of slaugh-

command. when any of the tribes of
Dervishes of hillmen were suspected of
chafing under his authority, has been
to send them orders to come into Om-
durham, and the orders have seldom
been disobeyed. The result has been
that the Mahdist capital has become
thronged with men who were once
raising dates and millet in the cases of
