PRAIRIE FIRES IN DAKOTA.
Farmers Lose Their Property and Barely
Escape with Their Lives.

Huron, S. D.. April 9.-Destructive
prairie fires swept over the southwestern
portion of Beadle and eastern part Of
Hand counties Thursday Losses will
aggregate $4,000 to SIS, 900. Some farm
ers lost their homes. buildings, machin-
cry and stock. The town of Messing
ton, thirty miles west Of this place, had
a close call. Charles Peck, Mosher and
others lost their barns. The large
dwelling, barns and cattle sheds on the
Barden farm. near washington, were
burned.
The place was occupied by III. M. De-
Mott and family, who barely escaped
with their lives. The burned district
covers many miles. and the distress
would have been much greater except
for rain which began falling at sun
down. Much live stock was burned and
many people had narrow escapes.

Cairo. April 9.-The Anglo Egyptian
forces under the sirdar. General Sir
Herbert Kitchener. attacked the der
wish position at 7:45 in the morning
and rushed Mahmoud's zaribe. the CEN
ter of his fortifications. without check.
The attack was entirely successful and
the dervishes lost very heavily.
The following account of the fight has
Nubia, April s: The srdar's rcfce num-
bered $4,000 men, with twenty-four
guns, under Colonel Long and twelve
MaXims. The enemy left Shendy with
10, 900 men, but they had suffered bit
from desertions since. The enemy was
at first practically concealed under
ground in a strong Zariba running
around the whole position. We left yes
terday's camp at p. m. and bivouacked
in the desert.
Carried at the Bayonets Point.
We reached Mahound's positionat a.
m. today. The enemy was evidently
aware of our approach. After an hour
of heavy bombardment the brigades
were formed up and carried the posi-
tion at the point of the bayonet under
a tremendous fire from the enemy. The
zariba was torn away, but the enemy
chung obstinately TO the trenches and
were bayonetted in them During the
whole admirable bombardment by
Colonel Long not a single dervish was
visible. The cavalry was now in full
pursuit. and nothing could have been
finer than the behavior of the troops.
The srdar (Sir Herbert Kitchener) re-
ceived a tremendous ovation after the
position was taken.
Mahmoud Took Care of Himself.
Mahmoud was captured by the Tenth
Soudanese battalion. He was under
ground the whole time his men were
fighting Osman Dgna fed as usual.
The prisoners say that Mahmoud' 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
il the enmey had not fired high. This
will be called the battle Of Atbara. The
British and Egyptian troops are still
cheering each other this evening. The
river bed and the thick bush down TO
the river are full Of dervish dead. Late
last night the sirdar issued orders say
ing that he was sure every man of the
force would do his duty, but he hoped
they would all remember God.

Most Brilliant Battle Ever Fought I'm the
Soudan-Notes of the Fight.
The dervish fire was very heavy, but
too high, and the British loss was most
ly before reaching the zariba. Colonel
Murray had his horse shot under him
and was wounded in the arm. The
enemy certainly behaved with great
bravery The prisoners say they lost
heavily by the bombardment before the
advance. Some of the enemy tried to
break across the river at an early stage.
but were beaten back by the dervish
horsemen. The rockets under Captain
Beatty set the enemy's camp afire in
many places. Bashari Redi fell at the
head of his men. Ten guns were cap
tured. The prisoners say Osman Digna
fled early during the bombardment.
The authorities call todays battle the
most brilliant ever fought in the
Soudan, everything having been car
ried straight through without hitch
or check While the position was shelled
by the Maxim Nordenfeldts' and
shrapnel the dervishes hardly attempted
a reply. Nothing was visible in front
of the position except a solitary wab
bling camel; but in the trenches the
large number of mangled donkeys and
camels proved the terrific effort of our
line. Inside the zariba there was an
astonishing labyrinth of earth works.
every goat seemingly having had its
own shelter and trench.
l have been all over the dervish posi-
ton, and estimate their dead at more
than 1000 The night march was as
weird as that of Tel FL Kebir Our
troops observed a funeral silence on
nearing the enemy's zariba at Max
heiba. No smoking was permitted.
Egyptians, Soudanese and British strove
TO be first in the glorious race, and to
be first in the attack. AS usual, several
brigades claim the honor.
The enemy opened with such a terri
bic fire that our men were dropping on
all sides. IL was as venomous a fusil-
lade as troops were ever called upon to
face. Mahmouds army is practically
wiped out. Four thousand of his fol-
lowers have been taken prisoner and he
himself has been caught hiding in a
hole under a bed. He is a tall, digni-
fed, ous-looking, black Baggara
about 80 years Of age, with a shaved
head. When taken he was dressed in a
richly embroidered robe.
