The attack was entirely successful and
the Dervishes lost very heavily.
The Anglo7Egypt force, after a

brilliant rush for the zariba and the
trenches. The Dervishes stood their
ground bravely and reserved their fire
until the attacking force was quite close
to them. Mahmoud, the Dervish Gen
eral, was among the prisoners cap
tured.
AS the dispatch was sent the Anglo
Egyptian cavalry, with Maxim guns
and batteries, were pursuing the fugi-

Press: Those three floating forts
could by themselves whip the whole
Spanish navy
When knowledge of the plan of block
ade of Havana, as was reported in
these dispatches last night, spread
through the fleet to-day, no end of dis,
cussion ensued. The general impress
sion is that the men in the torpedo
boats will stand but little chance of
ever coming out of an engagement
alive. This view was thoroughly con-
firned by the torpedo boat men them
selves, and the matter of fact way in
which they discussed their chances was
a striking illustration of American
pluck and of Indifference to death in
their country's cause.
Intense enthusiasm reigns among Off
GERS and men alike. The movement
upon Havana is eagerly looked forward
to, and it is thought ITO be certain to
occur the beginning of next week, un-
less Spain backs completely down.
In spirit and in preparation, Captain
SIMPSONS squadron is ready to fight,
and on all sides the complaint is heard
that the expected opposition is of such
poor caliber. While it may be truth
fully said that there is very little SYM
pathy for the Cubans themselves
among the officers, thias long period of
suspense and uncertainty following the
Maine disaster has wrought them up to
an unequalled pitch of excitement.
