versal admiration. TIME after time
their dispersed and broken forces re-
formed and hurled themselves upon
the Anglo-Egyptians, their emirs eon-
spicuously leading and spurning
death. Even when wounded and in
death agonies they raised thmselves to
fire a last shot.
Among the wounded is Colonel
Rhodes, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, a brother of Cecil Rhodes.

dispatches From Kitchener.
London, Sept. 6.-The wal Office has
received the following dispatch from
General Kitchener, dated Saturday ev-
ening:
1.-The remnant of the khalifa's
force has surrendered and l have low
a very large number of prisoners on
my hands. Our cavalry and gunboats
are still pursuing the khalifa and his
chiefs, who, with only $50 lighting
men, are apparently making for kor-
dofan."
The following telegram dated yes
terday Sunday was received:
"The camp has been moved outside
Omdurman to the river bank. The
wounded arc doing we'll and are now
descending the river.
"The Austrian Sister Theresa. Girl
| golini and all the European prisoners
have been rescued. They are well.
1.-THE list of our casualties has not
yet been received. The population
omdurman manifested joy at the ar
rival ofthe expedition
The Cairo correspondent of the
Times says:
THE first telegram of congratula-
zion to arrive from Europe was from
Emperor William, who said:
II am sincerely glad to be able to
offer my congratulations on the SPLEEN
did victory at Omdurman. which at
last avenges poor Gordon's DEATH"
The special correspondent of the
Times with the Anglo-Egyptian forces
tclegraphs as follows: FL
"The advance toward Omdurman
was a magnificent panorama. Our
whole front was covered by the Eng
fish and Egyptian cavalry and camel
corps spread out like n fan, four miles
in advance and protecting a front of
three miles. The gunboats Nell, Sui
tan and Sheilih steamed in single file,
their decks cleared for action.
1.-The British division advanced
along the river bank. Then came the
Egyptian force in battle formation,
the sirdar and his staff riding in the
center. General Kitchener being easily
distinguisable i'll white. everyone
else being in khaki"
Later the correspondent says: "The
Omdurman forts replied incessantly,
but they had no chance against the
quick firing guns in IL gunboats. No
better a%mphitheater could possibly be
found for an engagement. The plain,
smooth, bushless and stretching to
the south, is perfect for cavalry and
artillery. On the right are low hills
and on the left the Nile and n flooded
marshy country for miles eastward.
Ahead tic the right are Tut island and
Omdurman, the mahdi's tomb rising
white and clear above an interminable
line of brown rude houses in the cen
ter of the town."
The queen, the marquis Of Lansdowne.
the minister of war and Gen. Lord VOLS
ley. the commander in chief of the British
army, telegraphed their congratulations to
the Sirdar direct.
The Times thinks there Is no doubt that
It's correspondent, Mr.. Howard. who was
killed. was assisting Col. Rhodes. No de-
tails have been received as to the latter's
wound and the Times has no detailed ac-
count OF the battle. The estimates of the
losses are very vague. On the British side
the figures range from GO to 300 and on the
dervish from 1000 to 10000.
Belated accounts of Gen. Kitchener's adj
vance shows that during the last two days
before the battle the dervish advance
force continually fell back. Most of the
correspondents agree that had the kha-
ifa remained in the town it would have
been a terrible task to storm Omdurman.
While traversing the bush the troops
found u deserted village from which the
inhabitants had evidently been driven in
to Omdurman by the dervishes who had
then fired the village. Many bodies were
found there. proving that there had been
resistance on the part of the natives.
The morning papers editorlally resound
with congratulations upon the avenging
of Gordon and are full of eulogy Of Baron
Cromer, the British financial adviser to
the khedive, Gen. Kitchener and all con-
cerned in the splendid success. All day
yesterday impressive scenes were wit
messed at Gordon statue in Trafalgar
square.
Early in the morning the statue was
wreathed and decorated with a placard
bearing the words: AT last"
