REBUFF 70 JOHN BJLE.
Startling Decision Rendered at Cairo
Against England.


LoNDoS, June lo,The Judgment Of
the Egyptian mixed tribunal declaring
against the legality Of The .tise Of the
Egyptian reserve fund for the purposes
of the Anglo Egyptian Soudan eXpedi-
tion has made great sensation. 1T is
literally a bolt out of a clear sky, for
the cabinet has been pushing the
preparations for vigorous advanceup
the Nile next August in the full c6n-
fideiiee that the cost would fall upon
the Egyptian treasury and not upon
the British excheduet. If this decision
is sustained, the cabinet must either
call upon British taxpayers to meet
the expense or retire from the expe-
dition. The former alternative would
mean a heavy loss of party prestige at
home and the latter a loss of diplo-
matte prestige abroad. Salisbury is
between the devil and the deep sea.
Under the terms Of the decision, the
sums which have already been paid
out in conformity with the ruling OF
the Egyptian debt commission must be
repaid by the khedival government,
and the commissioners are prohibited
from paying out anything further for
the Soudan expedition from the re-
serve fund

FIRkET, Egypt, June 9.-This point
has been taken by Egyptian troops, en-
route to Dongola, and their manner of
acquitting themselves in this, the first
engagement of the Nile campaign, has
given great satisfaction to the British
officers in command of them. The
Egyptian forces left Akasheh, the
Egyptian outpost. and marched
twenty miles during the night. The
dervishes were taken completely by
surprise; but made d brave though
hopeless fight. They were finally put
to rout by a flank movement, executed
by the cavalry. Seeing themselves in
danger of being surrounded, the forces
of the khalifa took flight to the south
ward, toward Snarda, pursued by the
cavalry Suarda is nearly a hundred
miles south of here, but it is strongly
held by n force of several thousand
dervjshes: Reports received indicate
that the loss to the dervishes will
amount to a thousand men.
