moment through the heart. Three
Egyptian officers received severe gun

Col Hunter in his dispatchs highly
praises the steadiness and dash of the
troops throughout the engagement. The
village is q net work of crowded houses
and twisting narrow alleys, so that
most of the fighting was done at the
point of the bayonet.
The Dervishes repeatedly charged
through the narrow streets.
Finally their cavalry having lost over
half their number, fled percipitately,
followed by about 100 infantry. These
were all that escaped. The Dervish

lowers in a strongly fortified house and
was only killed at last when the house
was destroyed by the artillery.
