Lee In Habaua.
(Cinclnnatl Commercial Gazette

NdZetlt.t
There will be a scene approaching the
historical when Lee enters Habana and
takes up his position as the successor
of Blanco. This seems to be more than
probable, in fact, almost accomplished.
The American people well remember
his exit under discouraging circum-
stances a few months ago. The streets
were not lined with Cubans and Span
iards bidding him God-speed, nor were
there any bouquets and brass bands
On the other hand, his departure was
somewhat forced. and, we may say,
taken to rather kindly by those who
made up the most of the population. In
fact, he was forced TO leave. and the
Spanish Governor General, Blanco, did
not give him a dinner to celebrate the
departure. He was even too busy TO
extend the courtesy of farewell hand
shake.
But Lee told them he was coming
back, and, when he came, il would be
at the head of an army corps. under the
Stars and Stripes. He was not Boosting,
for that fact was as well-established
as anything in the future could be. His
prediction is coming true, through rather
sooner than the gallant General antici-
pated. 1t will not do for the admins
tration to disappoint General Lee and
the people They want him sent TO
Cuba. just to give Blanco an opportunity
TO welcome him, unless the doughty and
discourteous Spaniard runs away as
Augusti did. Altogether, the meeting of
the two will be worth seeing, and we
hope that Banco will be held within
the shadow OF Moro Castle until Lee
gets there.

kIrCHENER.s CAMPAIGN.

General Kitchener's campaign against
the Khalifa has been slow but sure. II
| has been marked by no butcher and
bolt tactics, and no reckless and over
confident dashes. but, by steady press
| ing forward from one base to another
| all communication with the rear being
| kept up and safely guarded. At last ac-
| counts his army was within ffty-fiyc
miles OF Khartoum. the alleged objective
point Of the expedition. and his cavalry
had reconnoitered to within thirty-hve
miles of that place. Contrary to expecta-
ton. the Dervishes abandoned. without
resistance several strong points. at which
It was believed they would make stands,
and now Il is on the cards that the next
and the final trial OF conclusions will be
at Omdurman, the Khalifa's capital,
which is across the Nile from Khartoum.
There the Khalifa has concentrated mis-
forces. and seems to be quietly awaiting
Kitchener's onset.
or the result Of that onset there can
hardly be a question. The Sirdar has.
besides his troops engaged in guarding
communications, some 5000 seasoned,
fighting men. who have been victorious
in every encounter they have had with
the Dervishes. OF these 5000 men, con-
stituting the main army 5000 are British,
and the rest are Egyptians and Souda-
nese, who, it is stated have been brought
up to the highest state Of discipline. The
force of the Khaifa is not known, but
It is known that his followers have lost
In great degree their old-time fanaticism,
and that many Of them are bound to him
simply by tyranny. Since the advance of
the Anglo Egyptian Nile expedition be-
gan in earnest, various native tribes have
fallen away from the Khalifa, and are
giving aid and comfort to the invaders,
and the fighting so far has clearly de-
monstrated that the Dervish to-day is
not the desperate zealot he was few
years back. All the conditions, and all
the factors entering into the calculation,
point. therefore, to the smashing of the
Khalifa" at Omdurman and the breaking
of the Dervish power in the Soudan for
ever.
And after that what? Why 1.-THE paci-
fication" of the Soudan. And what next?
The dissipation of the fiction that the
sole object of the expedition was to dis
charge Great Britain's full duty to Egypt
by planting the Egyptian flag over the
ruins of Khartoum. In other words, after
Omdurman and pacifcation we shall see
q throwing off Of all disguise and an
abandonment of all subterfuge, and find
that the real objective of the movement
is a line in the heart of the Dark Cont
nent, where the northern and southern
spheres of British influence will be
merged. A
