ITALIANS ON THE RETREAT.
Dervishes Drive Them From Sab
dervati-A Garrison Deserts.

derYati-A Garrison Deserts.
Rome. March 13.-The government has
received information from Africa that
dervishes in strong force have attacked
Sabdervad, between Kassala and Agordat,
and that the Italian garrison being great
" outnumbered have retreated to the hills.
Nothing is known of the losses on either
side.
The report that the Italians are nego-
uating with King Menelek TO the end of
concluding peace between Italy and Abys-
sinia is confirmed upon official authority.
1t is learned that Gems. Albertone and Ma
va and many other Italian officers, who
were believed to have been killed in the
battle at Adowa on March l. are not dead.
Maj. Salsa, who went into the camp of
the Abyssinan army for the purpose of
asking permission of King Menelek to
bury the bodies of the Italian soldiers
who were killed in the battle of Adowa,
and also for the purpose of making in
quiries concerning the Italian prisoners
has announced that he has entered into
negotiations with King Menelek for the
conclusion of peace.
Vienna, March 13.-The Neue Freie
Presse says the entire Italian garrison at
Verona have deserted, with their arms
and baggage and crossed the Austrian
border into Tyrol. Hundreds of Italian
deserters are crossing the border daily.
London, March 13-The Daily News will
tomorrow say that the newspapers of St.
Petersburg and Moscow are raising a fund
for the benefit of the Abyssinian wounded
and the families of the slain. Efforts are
being made to obtain a large donation for
this purpose from the Russian Red Cross
society.
London, March 13.-The Post will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Rome
saying that the report that the dervishes

dervishes defeated Chief Alinury, an Ital-
ian ally, and not the Italians themselves.

ATKINSON AND THE HOUSE.
Not Likely He Would Contest the
Seat With Moses.

Washington, March 13-Gov. Atkinson
and Representative Moses had a good
laugh together over the rumor circulated
in the Georgia colony. that the governor
might aspire to the seat now occupied by
Mr.. Moses. The governor and Mr. Moses
are intimate friends, and they reside In
the same district besides, they have work.
ed together politically since their entry
into public life. 1t Is possible that the rii-
NOR may have originated from a casual
remark of the governor as he was pass
ing from the Senate wing OF the capitol
back to the House side, during his recent
visit to this city. He had been to the SEN
ate listening to the speech of Senator Tur-
pie of Indiana, on the Dupont contested
election case from Delaware. While Sem
ator Turpie is an able man and his
speeches read beautifully, he Is a tire
some speaker by reason of his nervous
affection and the rasping tone OF his high
pitched voice. The governor endured the
dullness Of the Senate for a little while
and then went back TO the House. En-
route he met several friends who engaged
him in conversation. He casually remark
ed that he liked the House much better
than the Senate, for he enjoyed the rough
and tumble style of doing business In the
former body, in preference to the slow and
deliberate methods employed in the SEN
ate. That remark was interpreted to mean
that he might decide to contest for con
gressional honors with Representative
Moses

ARMY OFFICERS KEPT AT HOME
Permission to visit Cuba and Rermu-
da Refused.

Washington, March 13.-The President
is known to be giving much attention to
the situation in Cuba. So far as can be
learned nothing definite has yet been the
outcome of his consideration. Rumors
that an investigating commission or an
army officer has been or would be sent to
Cuba do not find corroboration among
well-informed officials.
Several army officers have. applied for
leave of absence with permission to go
to Cuba, but in each of these cases the
permission asked for was refused While
it is not believed at the war department
that any of the officers who made such
application desired to take part in the
present hostilities, it was deemed best to
keep them away from Havana.
There were several reasons for this.
1t was thought that the Spanish gov
ernment might be suspicious of the pres
ence of the United States army officers
in the perturbed sections, and II was fear
ed that the feeling against this country
army officers might be involved, that
would be decidedly embarrassing to the
governments at washington and Madrid.
II is obviously impossible that an Amer
lean army officer could have visited Cuba
under present conditions without his pres
ence being promptly reported.
1t is also learned that permission to
go to Bermuda and other British fortified
posts near the United States coast has
heen refused to United States army Of
ficers since Mr.. Cleveland's Venezuelan
message was sent to congress. The rea-
son for this is obvious. American officers
might be held in distrust as persons seek
ing information about the British forti-
fications, and the war department did not
propose to take any chances.

ENGLAND AND THE DERvIsHERs.
The Expedition Much Discussed in
the LObbies of the Commons.

The Expedition Much Discussed in
the LObbies of the Commons.
London, March 1S.-The Anglo Egyptian
expedition that is to make a demonstra-
ton toward Berberia and Wady Halfa in
favor of the Italians at Kassala, is much
discussed in the lobbies of the House of
Commons. In an interview Sir Charles
Dixie, NJ p, who is an acknowledged au-
thority on foreign affairs, denounced the
inclination of the government to Join in
the expedition. He said that if the affair
should result in a defeat, Great Britain
would be compelled to Immediately in
tervene on a larger scale, and it would
possibly lead to another Soudan war.
In the House of Commons to-day, in the
course of the discussion of the army es-
timates Mr. LabOuchere offered motion
demanding the immediate evacuation of
Egypt by Great Britain. Mr.. Labouchere,
speaking to his motion, proceeded to criti-
else the policy of the occupation of Egypt,
but the speaker stopped him, saying that
the chair would only permit the discus
sion of matters Immediately relating to the
army.
Labouchere replied that it would be i'm
possible to discuss the question upon that
basis, and that he, therefore, would not
move the resolution.
Sir William Harcourt suggested that
the debate on the Egyptian situation
of the vote for men, which, he thought,
the government should allow to be con-
sdered at the earliest possible time.
Mr.. Balfour the government leader,
agreed that the vote for men should be
taken on Monday, when Mr.. Labouchere
should open the debate.
The Telegraph will say that the officers
belonging to the British army of occu-
patton in Egypt who are now on leave
of absence in England and elsewhere,
have been peremptorily instructed to re-
join their commands
