Dongola-on-the-Nile, Sept. 26.-An in
specti0n Of the dervish defenses at
this place shows that they were con-
structed with great skill, that the posi-
tiOns We're well chosen and that If they
had been held by resolute men they
would have caused an immense
amount of trouble and loss to the
Anglo Egyptian expedition. About 900
dervish prisoners were captured, In
addition to large quantity Of arms of
all kinds, dates sufficient to support an
enormous fighting force for a long
time, great quantities of grain and
large supplies of sheep and cattle. The
honors Of the fighting fell to the gum
boats and the artillery, whose shells
reached the fleeing enemy far out in
the desert. Deserters from the dervish
forces continue to arrive here, as they
are all anxious to serve under the
Egyptian flag. The work of perfect
ing the chain Of depots and forts con-
Meeting this place with Wady-Halfa is
being pushed with the greatest energy
and from here work on the railroad
embankrnent begins tomorrow, so as
to join the line being pushed south
ward as quickly as possible. All the
troops are in excellent health and
spirits. No announcement has been
made as to the course of the expedi-
ton in the future, everybody being
busily occupied in the work of settling
down here, establishing advance posts,
clearing away the debris Of the dis
mantled Notifications preparatory to
reconstructing a number of them on O
larger and more important scale, and
landing and storing ammunition and
supplies.
