 try, undismayed by the slaughter, called others to follow the cavalry, but our field artillery and Maxims, descending from the hill on which they were posted, came again into action and the conflict entered a new phase.
 "The attack on our camp had been re- pulsed, and the only question was wneth- CT the defeat of the enemy was complete. It was not long before the Dervishes were seen in full flight toward the right, leaving their dead on the field az they fled. Practically the whole army of the khalifa was destroyed. Our cas- ualties number 20b.
 "Our losses in the zeriba, when the en- emy first attacked us, were small con- siderlng the number of the enemy. Our artillery and rifle fire were terribly eff fective. The Dervishes fought well. displaying a courage that would have seemed marvellous had we not known their spirit.
 1.-The march to Omdurman after the great fight was completed without incl dent. The sirdar, with his chief Of staff, General Rundle, Colonel Wingate and Slatin Pasha, rode behind two com panies of Egyptians and Soudanese, who proudly carried with them the Khallta's s flag, the black banner which was to lead his troops to victory.
 As we neared the place people living Ill houses outside the wall poured out i'll large numbers to welcome the victors with coarse shouts. Passing through 8 long street. we came to the wall itself, solid looking piece of rough masonary. There had been no need to employ 40- pounders to effect breach. An entry was found near the river and the sirdar rode into 0mdurman unmolested.
 "The city seemed deserted save for women and children and some two score men, who came forward to make sub mission and lay down their arms. About the ruined tomb of the mahdi the city extends on all sides like rabbit war ren"

CONDITION OF
 AMBASSADOR BAYARD.
At Last Accounts He Was semfcon. seiOus. With Fair Pulse, but
 Was Very III.

Dedham, Mass, Sept. The condi. tion of Thomas F. Bayard, former am- bassador to England, who is at Karl- stein, the home of his daughter, Mrs Warren, is critically ill So prnounced has been the change in the past two or three days that it was thought the pa tient would not survive many days.
 MT Bayard came to Karistein three weeks ago. His health was not good, and during the first two weeks it did not improve. A week ago change came which appeared to be gradual breaking up of the system, combined with kidney trouble. At first it was not thought likely that his case would prove serious, although it was admitted by those in att tendance that the end of great career was not far off.
 The extreme heat of the past few days has had depressing effect upon the pa- tient, and on Friday anxiety was keen ly felt. A consultation of physicians was held. Late on Friday favorable turn was noted, but yesterday the change was for the worse. He was semi conscious Sunday, with a fair pulse.

ALLIANCE EFFECTED
 WiTfi AGUiNAiDO
He Is Using Every Effort to Secure Recognition at the Hispano-Ameri-
 can Peace Conference at Paris.

London, Sept 6 The Manila corre- spondent of The Times, telegraphing Sunday, says:
 Regular trains will begin to run on Manila-Dagupan railway by tomorrow. General Aguinaldo refused to permit repairs to the line and a reestablishment of train service except upon the signifi- cant condition that no foreign troops were to be conveyed.
 He has effected an important alliance with the Sentiaglesia party in the northern provinces of Pangasinan and Zambles. This party commands 5000 armed troops, and had hitherto resisted General Aguinaldo's pretensions to dic- tatorship.
 There are excessive movements among the insurgents everywhere north of Ma nila. Yigan has lately been occupied and campaign has been directed against Bamaran, where the ships are supposed to be concentrated. The in- surgents are in possession of the whole of Tagus bay except single position.
 This does not support the stories of serious disaffection among the insurgent leaders, although Aguinaldo's unpopu- larity is undoubtedly increasing. He is evidently using every effort to secure a recognition at the Hispano- American peace conference in Paris of the revolu- tionary government. His army doubt less number over 30,000 men, we'll armed equipped.

GENERAL KITCHENER.

"With desperate gallantry they were repulsed, suffering huge loss. Our Maxim guns, especially, made terrible lanes in their ranks and our artillery dealt havoc in the town, which was full of women. The Dervish army of 60, GOO was utterly broken, but we are fully prepared to fight again if they wish" The Standards war correspondent also pays tribute to the magnificent courage of the Dervishes, but says: Fortunately for us their leaders showed little or no wisdom in choosing a battlefield. By not occupying the hill on our left front the enemy missed his opportunity. That would have left the sirdar two alternatives He might have either accepted the challenge or elected to make wide detour into the desert to reach Omdurman.
 In the former case we would have been compelled to meet the Dervishes in the open. In the last the enemy's chances of offering prolonged resist ance would have been materially in- creased. But the bagara have lost none of their former courage and were resol- we'd to attack us where we stood, trust ing to sheer weight of numbers and hoping to hurl themselves against us with an irresistible impulse
 Describing the attempt of the baggara horsemen to retrieve the days fortunes by a final charge, the correspondent says:
 "Dashing across the level stretch of pebbly soil the knalifa's cavalry rode madly at the steady line of infantry. Our troops awaited the charge without fiinching. On came the Dervishes, but again the deadly fire poured into them did it's work. Men and horses fell thick and hardly rider in that desperate charge escaped.
