OVERTHROW
 AT OMDURMAN

Special Dispatch to the London Telegraph At daybreak the Twenty-first Lancers upon the left, and the Egyptians mounted troops, as before, away on the right, pro- ceeded forward for the purpose of scouting rode ahead with the Bancers to and be- yond Jebel Surgham. which is the last little rocky range between Kerrei and Omdur- man. We saw the whole of the enemy moving towards us. Inasmuch as their front extended over three miles and was interspersed with innumerable banners and the glittering sheen of steel, they pre- sented one of the grandest spectaeles it is possible to imagine as they advanced over the undulating plain. Scattered along their front were the mounted Emirs and bodies of Baggara cavalry. The Khalifa's big black banner was in the center of the five divisions into which the enemy's lines ap- peared to be ranged. Their force was well marshalled and magniflcently led. Indeed, 1t tgLt well have been a trained European army. Upon thelr left were gun and blue and white banners carried by the troops under the Sheikh el Din, the Khalifa's son. Upon their right, which ultimately bore down upon the British soldiers, was the Khalifa's brother, Yaeoub.
 The Hanks of the Sirdar's army rested upon the river and there were a few mud huts which were enclosed within the limits of the camp. Fronting to the south were the British troops Their line extended from near the Nile some 600 yards to the west, prolonging the formation, which re- sembled three sides of all irregular-shaped square, arrangement that had been adopted on account of fire equipments.
 The morning broke in somewhat lowering fashion. It was at 5:30 a. m. that the con flct was begun by Major Elmslie's howitz- ers These fired Lyddite shells from the east bank against he forts at Omdurman, which, together with the forts upon Tuti IslanN and east bank of the Nile, had already been knocked about during the bombardment of Thursday. The tomb of the Mahdi soon had one side blown in. This edifice possessed a cone-shaped dome, with four small cupolas around it's base
 There can be no doubt that the Khalifa committed afatal error in overestimating the rate of progress of his own army and in discounting the better disciplined valor of ours. Sir H. Kitchener and his staff oc- cdpel position rear tEe eel ter of oq front. The first of the enemy who were seen from our camp were their center and left.
 The British soldiers were now led forward a few paces, and they formed double rank behind the zariba where they sat down, waiting for the Khedival battalions of Max wells brigade The other Egyptians had already lined their shallow trench. They had no zariba and the English had no trench.
 It was at 630 a. m., and at a range of 2700 yards, that Major Williams batteries

Permanent Military Camps.

The government is looking for sites for permanent Iniluary camps, and there is no reascn jn the world why one should not be located at Hawkins Springs, or the Gate City artesian wells, or near some other gushing supply of water in or near this city. On the contrary there are very many reasons why one should be. gravely, cherty soil that does not permit water to stand on the surfa oe-a soil, moreover, that contains at least 50 per cent of lime-nec- essarily conduces to health. The attention of the government should be called to these advantages, and also to the centrality and accessibility of this railroad city.
 Will not Mayor Evans and the Commer- uial club take hold of this matter? One or both should call a meeting of all citizens for the purpose of giving the subject a start Representa- tive Underwood and Sem ator Pettus will certainly do all they can to help Bilminghs m, but Birmin gham must first make her wishes known. Quick action is needed. as Secretary Alger will be In this state this week. He Is expected at Hunts- vile tomorrow, and at Anniston on Friday.

The Peace Commission.

The five American peace commissioners are far out on the deep blue sea this morn ing, the most of them no doubt engaged in settling with Neptune instead of Spain. The sea is no respecter of persons, and even peace commissioners are not guaran- teed a condition at sea that enables them truthfully to say-"never felt better in my life.''
 1 The instructions that the commissioners carried away are the subject of much speculation; but Senator Frye, who does his own thinking and who is not afraid to talk, said before sailing that the commits sioners "are unanimous on the subject of the Philippines" Senator Frye has long been an earnest advocate of the retention of the entire group. and if the five con- mssioners have lined up to his position and to that held. by Senator Davis and Editor Reid, Spain has lost the Philippines. There are not two more stalwart Ameri cans in the world than Senators Frye and Davis, and Editor Reid is as near them as ihis less positive nature will permit. Where MT. Day and Senator Gray stand, no one  seems to know.
 There is widespread impression that if this country gives up the group outside of Luzon, a scramble among the powers will follow; and it is more than rumored that Germany has a bargain with Spain by which she will acquire Palawan in case we give it up. Palawan contains two good barbors, and is very desirable. island. Germany would then be our neighbor, and a situation would be created that would be anything but desirable. It is plain Spain is in no condition to reconQuer or to hold any of the islands; and any sentimentality on our part would simply mean the ag- arandizement of some power, and the pres ence of a neighbor who might not be agreeable All the islands, or none at all, seems to be the policy preferred by the country.
 If is believed the commission will take up the questions to come before them In the order they are named in the protocol In this case Cuba and the Cuban debt will bove precedence. and Porto Rico will come next, followed by the selection of one Of the I,adrones The Philippines stand at the Moot of the calendar, and the commission may he in session a month before the chief question is taken up.

The Coming Festival.

"The peace jubilee at Birmingham" says the Columbia Breeze, "promises to be very enjoyable affair, notwithstanding President Mckinley cannot be there, and General Wheeler writes that his duties will not allow him to attend" The Breeze is in part mistaken. It is very correct when 1t says the great festival will be an en- joyable affair, but it goes beyond the bounds of ascertained facts when it says President Mckinley will not be here, and that General Wheeler's duties will keep him away The Age-Herald is confident both will come. The most that can be said in regard to either of these men is that the time of his coming has not been determin- ed. The invitation committee is proceeding to ascertain when they can oome and when that time is ascertained the date of the jubilee will be announced. In no re- spect way whatever will the Great Southern Jubilee be less great than was at first planned and anticipated. It may oc- cur little later in the season on account of numerous quarantines and other ob- structions; but all these will be cleared away in good season, and the celebration of the glorious victories of the army and navy and of the coming of peace will be held.
 The Breeze will, we trust make known the fact that the Jubilee will be held and that President Mckinley is expected to at tend it, and that General Wheeler will be here unless he is deep in the solitudes of Cuba, and SC will Richmond Pearson Hob- son, who will be ack from his effort to raise Cervera's, ships and perhaps Schley and Wainwright and Roosevelt will be here also. The preparations are proceeding without change of plan, and the announce ments of actual results will be forthcoming in good season.

rhe Daughter of the Confederacy,

The death of Miss Winnie Davis will re- call the stormy times in which she was born. More perhaps than any one living this queenly young woman represented all the phases of the old struggle. and of the memories and associations that survived it. Wherever she appeared she was warm ly welcomed by the veterans of the civil war; and surely they should and will rep- resent the state when the last rites are said. Beyond all doubt the interment will take place in Hollywood cemetery, in Richmond, by the side of her father. At the funeral it seems meet that Alabama should be represented by a delegation of confederate veterans and also by a dele gation of the Daughters of the confeder- acy Certainly the state in which Jefferson Davis became president of the confederacy will be present at the funeral of his be- loved daughter
 The Age-Herald urges the United Confed- crate veterans and the Daughters of the confederacy of the state to assemble for the purpose of taking steps to have the state properly represented at Richmond. Let action be had at once. The family name and memory alike call for the hom- age of all who respect her great father, and who tenderly recall the heroic struggle that he conducted throughout the early years of the winsome lady who now lies dead by the sea in distant state

The Fever Situation.

Suspicion, more than known and ad- mtted facts, have led to a wholesale exo- dus from New Orleans and Jackson, and to some extent from Memphis. There is not however, a suspected case In Memphis, only one confessed case in Jackson, and ony one "positive'' case in New Orleans.
 Elsewhere the fever is not worse. The two suspected cases at Oxford are recover ing. The patient at Winona is dead, and no new case has appeared. The other cases are confined to the Orwood-Taylors dis trict, where the disease is running it's course, as it Is also at Franklin, in Louis- iana- RstiH3HIFyS FyETF
 The fact that fever did not become viru- lent or widespread until the last days of September last year, adds to the fear that it will again spread widely throughout the south. And yet it's spread depends largely upon circumstances. Towns can be rem dered proof against It, and that is just what should be done at once in every part of Alabama. There is no fever in Florida, and none is expected there. We need a man who will tell the people what to do in the way of sanitation, and who will see that they do 1t.
 Exery town in this state should be made so clean that an imported fever germ would starve to death. There is no other line of safety this year. Go to work at once. Drain every pool of standing water; clean
 
 and out-building; go to the bottom of every well; hunt out filth wherever it can be found; remove every pile of rubbish; air all rooms; give the soil beneath each house Jul supervision-put, in word, every 10 >Aity, every street, every district in ex- cellent order, and then turn a deaf ear to rumors, and all will be we'll .....

reduction of each regiment to eight com- would give the government a volunteer force of about 50 900 men, which would in addition to the regular army, meet all the requirements of the situation.
 The great value of Gen. Miles plan con- ssts in the relief of the men who desire to be mustered out, the war being over and there being no more fighting to do. No one really expects anything more than fussi- ness and buster from the insurgents of Cuba or the Philippines, and all know that poor old Spain's fighting days are ended. There is no fight in her, and very little indeed in the bumptuous and ungrateful insurgents. T
 The plan proposed by General Miles would also relieve the state executives and the president of the flood of importunities that are coming in for the mastering out of diers. If the plan be adopted, those who like garrison duty and military life gen. orally can get all they want of it under officers they know, and those that prefer to return honre can secure their release. Under the circunIst ances, it is a very rea- sonable and just plan. No volunteer who desires release should be kept when the war is over. He enlisted to fight, and Gen. eral Miles plan looks to his release in ac- cor1ance with the spirit of his enlistment. General Miles has laid hold of the correct principle in the plan he has just submitted to the president. It should be adopted and every volunteer who desires a discharge should be able to secure a release from the service. Unwilling soldiers are not good soldiers.
