entirely successful and the Deryishes lost
very heavily.
Atbara Camp. Nubia, April s.-The
Sirdar's forces numbered 49, 90 men with
"a guns under Col. Long and IA Maxims.
The enemy left Shondy with $4,000 men,
but they have suffered good deal from
desertion since. The enemy was at first
practically concealed underground in q
strong Yarab1 running around the whole
position. We left yesterdays camp at 6
3. m. and bivouacked in this desert. We
reached Mahmoud's position at 6 a. M.
TODAY. The enemy was evidently aware
of orr approach. After an hour of heavy
bombardnent the brigades were formed
I'D aud carried the position at the point of
the bayonet, under a tremendous fire
from the enemy.
The Yarabi was torn away. but the
enemy chung obstinately to the trenches
and were bayoneted in them. During the
whole admirable b0mbardment by Col.
Long not a single Dervish was visible
The cavalry was now in full pursuit and
nothing could have been finer that the be-.
havior of the troops. The Sidar (Sir
Richard Kitchener) received tremendous
ovation after the position was taken.
Mahmoud was captured BY tho Tenth
ground the whole time his men were
fighting. Osman Digna fed as usual The
prisoners say that Mahmoud's force was
DESERVING in large numbers before the
battle. The enemy's guns, baggage,
animals and standards were captured.
Our loss would have been much heavier
if the enemy had not fired high. This
will be called the battle Of Atbara.
Later-The British and Egyptian
evening. The river bed and the thick
bush down to the river are full of deryish
dead.
Col. Murray had his horse shot under
him and was wounded in the arm. The
enemy behaved with the greatest bravery.
The prisoners say they lost heavily by
the bombardment before the advance

en- back by the dervish horsemen. The
rockets under Capt. Beatty set the enc

statement that General Lee will make
some startling disclosures before the Sen

he arrives here, regarding the conspiracy
to blow up the Maine. 1t was announced

called before the committee but the nature

DR.. Straw had quite an exciting
runaway, Sunday while coming in
from the country. He had his black
horse hitched TO a cart, and Just be-
fore starting down the hill near Mrs.
Hobart's, the animal started to run and
kick. The doctor had about gotten
the animal under control. when it
kicked the lines out of his hands.
The doctor was not long in getting
out of the cart. and tried to get his
dog out, but the dog remained in the
cart for about half block, when it
was thrown out. 1t looked back at
the doctor, who was lying on the
ground, and then started down the
Hill after the horse, and caught up to
it when half way down. From then
on the dog kept at the horses head
for 4 quarter of mile and succeeded
in stopping it near the saw mill.
Luckily no serious damage was down,
and DIR. Straw escaped unhurt.
