OMDURMAN, OPPOSITE KHAR-
TOUM, ON THE NILE (Nubia), Sept.
2.-(By camel post to Nasri) - The
Sirdar, General Herbert Kitchener, with
the Khalifa's Black Standard, captured
the capital of Mahdiamaz, at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, at the head of his
army.
Last night the Anglo Egyptian army
encamped at Agasi, eight miles from
Omdurman. The Dervishes were three
miles distant At dawn to-day our
cavalry, patroling toward Omdurman,
discovered the enemy advancing to the
attack in battle array, chanting war
songs. Their front consisted of in
fantry and cavalry, stretched out for
three or four miles. Countless banners
f1uttered over their masses and the
copper and brass drums sounded
through the ranks Of the savage war
riors, who advanced unswervingly with
all their oldtime ardor Our infantry
formed up on the outside of the camp.
On the left were the First Battalion
Northerland Fusileers, the Second Bat
talon Lancashire Fusileers and the
First Battalion Grenadier Guards, with
the Maxim Battery, manned by the
Royal Irish Fusileers. In our center
We're the First Battalion Warwickshire
Regiment, the First Battalion Cameron
HighlandeTS and the First Battalion
Lincolnshire Regiment with Maxims,
worked by a detachment of the Royal
Artillery under Major Wildmans. On
our right We're the Soudanese brigades,
commanded by General Maxwell and
General Macdonald The Egyptian
brigadeS held the reserves, and both
flanks were supported by the Maxim
Nordenland Batteries.
At 1:3O a. m. the enemy crowded the
ridges above the camp, and advanced
steadily in enveloping form.
The Dervish attack developed on our
left, and in accordance with their ira
ditional antics, they swept down the
hillside with the design of rushing our
flank But the withering fire main
tanned for fifteen minutes by all Of our
line frustrated all their attempts, and
the Dervishes retreated.
The Dervish line was literally swept
away.
The bravery of the Dervishes can
hardly be overstated. Those who car
ried the flags struggled within a hun

was an experience not soon to be for
gotten. 'Suth visit as President Nc
Kinley made to Camp Wikoff is almost
unique in military annals. He went
to the camp equipped with knowledge,
judgment and experience to make an
investigation. He had served in the
camp and in the field himself, and
knew just what ought to be expected
in the circumstances. That he was
reasonably we'll satisfied with the con-
ditions as he found them 81 guar
antee that they are not far HrG 8.
Conditions have gedsmaterially
during the third of a century since the
Civil War. This was noted especially
by every one of the old soldiers in our
party yesterday. In the hospitals at
Camp Wikoff the patients have plenty
of ice, milk, lemons, and many dell
cacieS which were seldom seen in the
field hospitals during the last war.
Then, too, each cot is supplied with
fresh milk clean sheets and pillow
cases each day, and there are trained
female nurses to look after the wants
of every patient. These things are
now a tribute a grateful Government
pays to it's splendid soldiers, who, in
adding luster to the fame OF their
country, have won for themselves
glory that time will not dim"
Secretary Alger said there was no
intention of abandoning Camp Wikoff.
The troops will be kept there SO long
as it may be deemed desirable to keep
UP the camp. He pointed out that II
was essentially a detention camp,
place of recuperation, and not camp
of mobilization. Naturally, therefore,
as soon as it had served it's purpose, 1t
would pass away as military camp.
A rumor was given currency that the
camp. having been found by the Presl-
dent to be unsuitable for its purpose,
was to be abandoned Immediately.
This Secretary Alger pronounced to
be without foundation. 1t probably
grew out of the order issued by the
President that the regulars at camp
Wikoff, whose former posts had peen
east of the Mississippi River, proceed
as soon as possible to their old sta
items. Secretary Alger said that TINS
order had been decided upon ten days
ago. and had no possible relation TO
the condition of the camp.

DerviSheS abandoned the ridge in front
of their position, and the whole force
marched in echelon of battalions to-
ward Omdurman. AS our troops sur
mounted the crest adjoining the Nile,
the Soudanese on our right came into
contact with the enemy, who had re-
formed under cover of a rocky emf
nence, and had massed beneath the
black standard of the Khalifa in order
to make a supreme effort to retrieve
the fortunes of the day. A mass, To-
600 strong, bore down on the Soudan-
ese.
General Kitchener swung around the
center and left of the Soudanese and
seized the rocky eminence, and the
Egyptians, hitherto in reserve, rejoined
the firing line in ten minutes and be-
fore the Dervishes could drive their
attack home.
The flower of the Khalifas army
was caught in depression and within
a zone of whitening cross-fire from
three brigades, with the attendant ar
tillery. The devoted Mahdists strove
to make headway, but every rush was
stopped, While their main body was
literally moved down by sustained
deadly cross-fire.
Defiantly the Dervishes planted their
standards and died beside them. The
masses gradually melted to companies
and the companies to driblets beneath
the leaden hail. Finally they broke
and fled, leaving the field like a snow
drift. AT Ills the Sirdar ordered an
advance, and our whole force, in line,
drove the scattered remnant of the foe
into the desert, our cavalry cutting off
their retreat to Omdurman.
Among the chief incidents of the bat
tie was a brilliant charge by the
Twenty-frst Lancers, under Lieuten-
ant Colonel Martin. Galloping down
on a detached body of the enemy, they
found the Dervish swordsmen massed
behind, and We're forced to charge
home again. The lancers hacked
through the mass, rallied and kept the
Dervish horse at bay Lieutenant
Grenfell, nephew of General Sir Fran
els Grenfell, was killed, four other Off
GERS We're wounded, twenty-one men
We're killed and twenty wounded.
The Egyptian cavalry were in close
fighting throughout with the Baggara
Horsemen. For short period the en-
emy captured and held the gun, but
it was brilliantly retaken.
The heroic bravery of the Dervishes
evoked universal admiration. Time
after time their broken forces hurled
themselves upon the Anglo-Egyptians
their Emirs leading and spurning
death. Even when wounded and when
in death agonies they raised themselves
to fire last shot.
Among the wounded is Colonel
Rhodes, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times" and a brother of Cecil
Rhodes.

PARIS, Sept. flowing to the resig-
nation of NJ. Cavaignac of the Ministry
of War, President Faure returned to
Paris this morning.
The Cabinet will meet tomorrow eX-
pressly to deal with a request from
Nine. Dreyfus for a revision of the pro-
ceedings of the court-martial that con-
demned her husband
AS the Cabinet is now practically
unanimous in favor of revision-part-
ly because the Ministers are aware that
there is no other method of satisfying
public opinion-the outcome of the
meeting is almost a foregone conclu-
sion.
1t is not thought that NJ. Cavaignac' s
retirement will involve the resignation
of other Ministers
According to LIE Soir,' NJ Faure,
who received M. Cavaignac to-day,
strongly urged him to withdraw his
resignation. The paper also asserts
that at the council tomorrow the Pres
ident will endeavor to prevent a deci-
sion in favor Of revision On the same
authority it is announced that General
Roger, chief Of NJ. Cavaignac's military
staff, will retire, at his own request.
The name of General Saussier, for
merly Military Governor of Paris. is
mentioned in connection with the War
Office portfolio.
In her letter to NJ. Sarrien, the Minis
ter of Justice, Nine. Dreyfus says she
addresses him again since he alone has
the right to demand revision on the
ground Of a new fact" She argues
that Lieutenant Colonel Henry's ad-
mission of forgery deprives his deposi-
tions and acts of all weight, and con-
cludes her appeal by calling upon NJ.
Sarrien to "listen to the voice of pub
lie opinion and put an end - the pun

Believed in London That 1t VIII Not
Be Extremely Difficult.
London, May 13.-The bombarding of
San Juan de Porto Rico is held here to
indicate that Rear Admiral Sampson
has a pretty accurate knowledge of the
whereabouts of the Spanish squadron;
at any rate, that it is too far distant to
interfere with his proceedings. No
definite news, however, is yet obtain
able as to the locality of Admiral Ger
veras fleet, although it is believed to
be at the Canaries, waiting to join the
ships at some predetermined rendez-
vous.
The news is expected today of the
fall of San Juan and that Admiral
Sampson has sufficient forces handy
to land and hold the place. If so, his
feat will be regarded almost as daring
as Dewey's. 1t is supposed that the
news that the bombardment had begun
was dispatched by some one who had
command of the wires at San Juan OF
permission to send a message. The
Spanish reports recently have said that
the San Juan forts had been much
strengthened, but looking at the state
of affairs at Manila, little credence is
given to this report, and it is judged
that Admiral SIMPSONS task viii not
be very difficult.
The Cardenas and Cienfuegos affairs
are not regarded here as very serious
except as showing that an invasion OF
Cuba will not be a walkover, although
If San Juan has fallen, it will be ut
terly impossible for the Spaniards tC
do much to prevent the invasion.
