Dongola: The Anglo Egyptian forces
are in full possession of Dongola and
the Soudan expedition proper has been
brought to a successful close. In the
final advance upon Dongola the gun
boats covered the left flank and the
cavalry and camel corps were on the
right. Scouting parties of cavalry
found that the dervishes had not only
abandoned their outposts but that the
main camp had been deserted, the en-
envy being in full fight and carrying
with them their women and children.
All the principal dervish chiefs with
the exception of Wad Bishara, have
surrendered and the opposition to the
British Egyptian power in this section
has completely collapsed. About 900
dervish prisoners were captured in adj

A monster meeting was held at Liver

of Armenians by the Turks. A large
number of the leading public men of
England attended, but Hon. w. f. Glad
stone was the star speaker. He made
a strong speech denouncing the massa-
ores and accusing the powers of acqui-
essence in them because of the fact
that they allowed them to continue
when they had power to prevent. He
also said that the people would stand
behind the British government If she
would take the steps necessary to pre-
vent further butcheries, even if ii
involved Europe in a war. Mr.. Glad
stones sentiments were tremendously
cheered and resolutions were adopted
covering the points mentioned.

A Paris dispatch says that M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador at Con-
stantinople, had long interview with
the sultan in the course of which he
declared that the western powers had
resolved to insist that the reforms
which had already been granted in the
Armenian provinces should be extended
to the whole of the Turkish empire.
The dispatch adds: This is the first dip
lomatic move of France and is regarded
as final warning.
In London there is much interest in
the sudden change in the attitude of
the Russian press toward Great Britain.
OF these the Bourse Gazette and the
Novosti warn their government to be-
ware of forcing England to join the
dreibund, limiting that Germany is an
noyed at England's aloofness from the
alliance and attempting to sow discord
between England and Russia. This
change of the Russian press is still
more interesting when it is remem-
bered that the ear is visiting the royal
family in England and has had several
conferences with Lord Salisbury.
The situation at Constantinople is
quiet and the ambassadors will prob
ably accept the status quo.
