New York World Says Cleveland Ii the
Logical Democratic Candidate.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The World
prints a double-leaded editorial in
which it asks whether the logic of the
political situation that has led the Re-
publican masses to support Mckinley
will not compel the nomination Of
Cleveland by the Democrats. The
paper says:
"The World does not assert that this
is 50. 1t raises the question. 1t in
vites public discussion Of it. So far as
The World is concerned in this matter
it is entirely impartial, judicial and
impersonal. 1t has no special partial
ity for Mr.. Cleveland personally, as he
will probably admit. 1t has nothing to
take back. But the question is not OF
the past, it is question Of the future.
The Only Logical Candidate.
upon the issues Of the present and
future, not of the past, The World is
just as free and sincere in suggesting
that Mr.. Cleveland seems to be the
only logical candidate as it has been
fearless and faithful in admonition and
criticism whenever it has believed him
to be wrong.
/ 1T 10 idle and might prove very un.
wise to ignore the fact that there is 6
deep seated and widely prevalent pref
udice among our people against any
third term for any president. But it il
still . question whether any unfounded
fear and prejudice can weigh at last
against the force of events and thu
looic of circnmatances

FEAR DISASTER
No Denial That Strong Appre-
hensiOn Exists in
Cairo
As to the Fate Of the EXpedi-
ton Headed For Don
COLA.
Dervishes Well Prepared and
Already Active in the
Rear.

NEW YORK. April "a dispatch to
not be denied that there exists in Cairo
strong apprehension that disaster will
soon overtake the head of the Dongola
expedition. Merchants here who have
business relations with the Soudanese
report that they have information of
great rising and rallying of the der
wishes in and around Dongola. They
cc1grm the report that ...
The Green Flag IL UP,
and the holy war declared. The opin-
ion is that $4,000 men will soon lie
ready to intercept the march OF the
Anglo. Egyptian army if the plan OF
pushing beyon Akasheh is persisted in.
General Kitchener is known to be
yearning for fresh military glory. Ag.
gressive and self-willed, it is feared he
will fall into the error recently com
mited by General Baratieria in Abys-
sinia.
The preliminary skirmishing, so far,
has given some confidence to the Egyp-
tian troops. The policy of the Soudan-
ese is evidently to draw the invading
army as far from its base this summer
as possible, SO that when the main as.
sault is delivered, retreat for it will
mean slaughter.
Dervishes Are Well Prepared.
The dervishes are better armed and
better prepared to fight than when they
checked Lord Wolseley's advance. The
English, as rule, pooh pooh the idea
of defeat, but they are all extremely
anxious. 1t is feared that the troubles
in Matabeleland may embarrass the
English government, and weaken the
support of the Dongola expedition
which must soon be forthcoming. The
dervishes are very active in the rear Of
the Egyptian column and great diff
