ginning TO come in slowly, and they be-
came alarmed. When the water began
rushing in i'll greater volume, their alarm
was turned into CONSERVATION. and the
men made "A rush for the ladders. They
stayed within reaching distance of higher
level, but coeld get no higher. When the
time for the shift came TO go to the sur
face and did not appear, the rumer spread
that all the men had been drowned.
A relief force volunteered to go to the
rescue, but it was deemed impossible TO
give aid and nothing more was done, as
it was learned that there was undoubtedly
a food in the lower works. Four days
passed and naturally all hope was given
up and the families gave up in despair,
and the news was given out that the
men had pershed in the mine.

and brought to the surface amid tumult-

and liquor were given them cautiously,
and they have been restored to their usual
strength, with the exception of few who

London, Jan. "A dispatch from Malta
says battalion of the Seaforth Highland

The Cairo correspondent of the Daily
Mail says, as part explanation of the
British expedition up the Nile, that it is
believed that French expeditions have ar
rived quite close to Khartoum According
to the same authority the British force
will be commanded by Maj. Sir Francis
Grenfel
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: Il learn from private sources
that the Italian foreign office has received
information that Emperor Menelik has
summoned the Abyssinians to arms in
support of the French enterprises in
equatorial Africa, and especially the plans
of the Russian, Count Ieontieff, governor
of the equatorial provinces of Abyssinia.
Emperor AIenelik himself is setting out

the movement marks an expedition against

peror Menelik, calculating upon the re-
missness of the Italian government, pur-
poses an advance toward the coast"
The Daily Mail, commenting editorially
upon the foregoing dispa tches from Rome
and Cairo, suggests that the Marchan ex-
pedition has gone beyond Fashoda and
reached Khartoum.
"It is impossible" says the Daily Mail,
"for the expedition to have fought its
way there, and 1t can only have arrived
at an alliance with the Khalifa, thus Gre
ating a very serious situation"
In response to the request of Sir Her.

send four battalions to Cairo to replace
those destined to take part in the British
advance toward KhartOum, one each from
Malta and Gibraltar and two others to be
stopped while en- route for home from In

on the great activity of the situation.
The Times suggests that it would be
safe to send a larger force.
The Morning Post calls the force insuf-
hcient and points TO the suspicious atti-
tude" of the Marchand expedition, which
it is reported has occupied Fashoda. 1t
says: 'If the expedition has dVanced in
