the sense that the performers have not

to DongOla.
Dervishes Retiring Toward Dom

at That Place.
GunbOats on the Nile to Play
all Important Part in the
Campaign.

CAIRO. Egypt, Sept. 12.-Dispatches
just received from the front, say that
the North Staffordshire regiment, num-.
bering about 900 men arrived at Kosheh
camp, the southernmost fortified post
ON the Nile, and will be pushed for
ward to Absarrat. The third brigade
has reached Absarrat safely and the
main body of cavalry is arriving there.
The cavalry scouts report the derv.
ishes still in view south of Duglo, but
the enemy retreats at the slightest sign
of a forward movement. The Anglo
Egyptian scouts, feeling the way for
the advance guard, are steadily pushing
on to Kasbar, IA miles further south.
which will be the next place occupied.
The troops, black and white, are full
of enthusiasm and anxious for a brush
with the enemy. The weather is hot in
the extreme, but the soldiers are bene.
fitting from being on the move.
All the troops taking part in the ex.
petition are now on the march towards
Dongola.
Duglo, hitherto held by a small force
of cavalry, is being fortified and added
to the string Of depots connecting the
expedition with Wady Halfa. the real
base Of supplies.
The intelligence department reports
the dervishes gathering in force north
of Dongola.
Skirmishes between the dervishes and
the Angly-Egyptian scouts are expected
at any moment.
Thus the advance Of the British.
Egyptian expedition up the river Nile,
win Dongola, if not Khartoum, as its
objective point, is now in full swing,
after months Of struggling with terrific
heat and cholera, during which the
work of railroad building and passing
gunboats in sections up the river and
over the cataracts has been carried on
necessarily under the direction Of Brit.
ish officers, a number of whom have
already given up their, lives as a sacri-
fee to the task.
The operation began in March last.
when troops were hurried up the Nile
to Wady-Halfa, the southernmost post,
although the railroad ran to Sarras,
about 40 miles south from Wady- Halfa.
Since that time the railroad, a desert
campaign line, has been extended to
Akasheh, 90 miles from the latter place
to Kosheh and thence to Absarrat,
about 70 miles.
In the first even days Of the cam
paign over 1000 men, in every way
fully equipped, were moved southwark.
in spite of the great difficulties of trans
portation, and now some 5000 men,
not including natives employed in
transport service, are moving south
with a fiotilla of about 10 stern wheel
gunboats, some Of them towing oven
200 other boats and barges, loaded with
supplies, ammunition, etc.
This feet will keep up constant COM
munication with Absarrat, now the
base from which the army is operating.
At every station between Absarrat and

Wady- Halfa, hospitals for the care of
the wounded and sick have been estab-
lished. The sirdar, or commander of
the Anglo Egyptian expedition, Sir
Herbert H. Kitchener, has left nothing
undone to promote the success of the
campaign against the sultan of Soudan,

lah ell Khali, who claims to be the sue.
cessor of the famous Mahdi, who caused
the British so much trouble years ago.
May Play an Important Part.
1t is looked upon as more than prob
able that the gunboats will play a very
important part in the campaign. They
are from 100 to l75 feet long. have 20 to
q feet beam, only draw about 2 feet of
water when fully loaded. and able to
make about ii miles an dour, carrying
a large number of men and tow barges.
etc, carrying many more men.
Each gunboat carries a ~l2-pounder,
quick fire Maxim gun, able to discharge
O shot every three seconds, mounted
forward on an armOred citadel dock.
