GEN. KITCHENER AT FASHoDA.
The Egyptians Capture Gedarif and
Defeat the Last Army

Cairo, Sept 26.-General Kitchener,
commanding the Anglo Egyptian eNpc-
dition, has returned to Omdurman, hav-
ing established posts at Fashoda and on
the Sobat river. The troops had no fight
ing except with a dervish steamer ON the
way south, which was captured.
Found the French at Fnshoda.
London, Sept 26--rhe Daily Tele-
graphs Cairo correspondent, telegraph
ing today (AIonday) says:
General Kitchener found the French at
Fashoda. He notified Marchand that he
had express injunctions that the terri
tory was British, and that the French
must retire, and offered them passage to
Cairo. Major Marchand absolutely de
cined to retire unless ordered to do so
by his government. No fighting occurred.
Ma ior Marchand was given clearly TO
understand that the British insisted upon
their claims and the rest would be set
tied by diplomacy between their respect
i've governments.
General Kitchener sent a long official
dispatch to London, hoisted the union
jack and the Egyptian ensign, and left a.
a garrison the Eleventh and Thirteenth
Soudanese battalions and the Cameron
highlanders to protect the British flag.
Colonel jackson commands the garrison,
E<haIifn's Men Again Routed.
Suakim, Sept. 2o.-The only organized
remnant of the khalifa 5 army was de.
feated and its last stronghold, Gedarif,
captured on September % after Il three
hours hard fight, when an Egyptian force
numbering |, 300, under command of
Colonel Parsons, routed 5000 dervishes,
of whom 500 were killed. Three Egyp
tan officers were wounded and 81 Egyp
tan soldiers killed and 80 wounded.
This final victory of kitchener's leaves
him the controlling power of the region
that comprises the basin of the Niger,
Lake Tchad and the branch OF the Nile
that is called Bahr-el-GhaZal. 1t is a
hard matter to draw border line in this
rough country to show just where the
sphere of influence will begin and end,
but it covers an area OF 100000 square
miles, with a population of over 10000
600. Egypt controlled it once, but the
Mahdi's revolt took it from them. Since
then the region has been constant
source of anxiety to Egypt and England.
The khalifa took possession of the ter
ritoly that the British abandoned after
the humiliation OF Hicks Pasha's forces
and the killing of General Gorden, and IT
looked as though the khalifa would be
able to keep it.
General Kitchener undertook at the be
ginning of 1896 to suppress the trouble
some deryish leader. With $4,000 men
and four gun boats Kitchener took pos
session OF the finest part of the Soudan,
and in 1897 pushed further forward.
Since then he has gone forward continu-
ally, with Omdurman as the objective
point The force he had with him, and with
which he captured Omdurman, consisted
of one British and one Egyptian infantry
division, one regiment of British and III
squadrons of Egyptian cavalry, one field
and one howitzer battery, an Egyptian
horse battery and four field batteries,
camel corps and half dozen gun boats
There were $4,000 Egyptians and 1900
British.

Only Trophy of Santiago.

The Infanta Maria Teresa has always
been one of the favorite war ships of the
Spanish people, possibly because OF her
name. She is an armored cruiser Of
about 1000 tons displacement. Her speed,
when in fighting trim, is believed to be
something over 20 knots an hour. Her
battery at the time of the battle off San
tiago consisted OF two ll-inch, 10 55-inch
and number of rapid fire guns. She
has an armor belt OF Il inches over her
most vulnerable parts.
1t cost Spain over 100000 to build
her, but she was sunk by Admiral
Schley's flag ship Brooklyn in 20 min
utes. OF the six war ships Spain lost
ON that memorable day in July the In
fanta Maria Teresa is the only one that
will ever float again.

The War Department Will Send an
Exhibit of Torpedoes and Mines.

OMAHA, April 1.-THE preparations
for war have not interferred with the
work of the United States Government
Commission for the Trans Mississippi
Exposition. Captain c. Ward, u. S.
A, the representative of the Board Of
Management of the Government ex-
hibit, has received notice that a portion
of the War Department exhibit has

SPAIN STANDS PAT.
She Will F1af1y Reject Tnterven-
ton by This Country.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Times" telegraph
ing Friday, says:
I Throughout it's recent negotiations
with the United States, with reference
to Cuba the Spanish Government has
never taken a firmer stand than at yes
terday's council. If President McHin-
ley, by issuing his last message, has
set his seal upon his country's claim
to Intervention in Cuba, SO do the Span
ish Ministers respond by finally setting
their seal upon their country's fiat re-
lection.
The nature of the intervention ap-
pears to be immaterial. The drastic
decisions of the council are taken by
the public at what will probably prove
their full value.
The war fever has been raging many
hours. One newspaper thinks peace
family possible. Some trusting to tele-
grams from Havana, indulge hope that
the insurgent leaders, fearing Ameri-
can annexation, will voluntarily come
to terms with the autonomist Govern
ment and that this may make President
Mckinley pause, but no definite infor-
nation has yet been received in that
sense The Government and people are
pulling we'll together and profess readi-
ness to confront what seems inevi-
table.

tracted for in October, 1896 The 9TH
er two, the Wisconsin and Illinois, are
| being built respectively at San Fran
cisco and Newport News All three
are identical. The Alabama's keel was
laid in November, 1896, and work on
her has been considerably delayed be-
cause of the complication over payment
for armor plate.
The Alabama is eight feet longer

Cramps last year. Her length on load
water line is 36S feet, extreme breadth
- feet > inches, mean draught % feet
6 inches, displacement II ,225 tons. She

TWENTY-FIVE INFANTRY.
Arrives in Key West and is Quar-
tered at Fort Taylor.

KEY WEST, April 1.-THE arrival
of Companies A and G of the Twenty
fifth Infantry aroused Key West from
tropical lethargy and this Sunday has
been marked by unwonted stir. The
fleet in the harbor and the military on
land give this lazy little town a war
like aspect. The colored troops, 125 in
number, were obliged to remain on
board the City of Key West all night
because of lack of accommodations at
the barracks, already given over to two
batteries of artillery. 1t was eventu
ally decided to quarter them in old
Fort Taylor and this morning they
marched there-a stalwart body of
men, many of whom have seen service
in Indian campaigns, and most of
whom rank high as sharpshooters.
Some of the local papers have protest
ed against having colored men sent
here and there has been a slight fear
of an unfavorable demonstration. So
far from anything of the kind happen
ing the colored troops were greeted
with only words of praise.
There was no movement of the fleet
to-day. Chaplain Chadwick celebrated
mass on the Cincinnati this morning
and preached in the Catholic Church.

COULD GET BRITISH COAL.
But Vessels Carrying 1T Would be
Liable to Seizure

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE ac-

to be a contraband of war. as reported
from Jamaica, is said to have a signifi-
canoe different from that attached to it
in the dispatches. AS explained in a.

would not prevent a vessel of either

coal at Kingston or any other port In

who had already met in another part of
the town for the purpose of organizing
demonstration arrived in front of
the American Consulate and began to
cheer for Spain. They did not at this
stage utter any cry against the Unit
ed States.
The Chief of Police endeavored to
disperse them, but only succeeded in
driving the crowd from the front of
the Consulate. The mob then parad-
ed along the Gale De Larses, the most
frequented street in Malaga and ac-
companied by very large crowd re-
assembled in the Plaza De La Con-
stitucion The Civil Governor and
Mayor of the town FASTENED to the spot
to calm the people and were received
with wild cheering, but in the mean
time a group posted themselves oppos-
tie the American Consulate. They car
ried a Spanish banner and after utter
ing many patriotic cries, began to throw
stones at the building. All the win
dows were smashed and part of the
furniture of the Consulate seriously
damaged When the crowd was at the
hight of its frenzy a ladder was brought
and a man, getting hold Of the Amer
lean escutcheon threw it to the ground
amid immense cheering. The es-
cutcheon was paraded as trophy
through the streets and ultimately car
ried to the crowded Plaza De La Con-
stitucion where it's appearance created
great enthusiasm.
The Governor, warned by telephone,
made his appearance. Then some one
| ,t,-tr &c IN
ger no theatrical representation ought
to be given"
The audience applauded and in few
minutes spontaneously cleared the the
alter.
From this the several contingents and
people noisily paraded the streets, the
demonstrations continuing until an ad-
vanced hour of the night, the police
being powerless This morning (Sat-
urday) the American Consulate looked
from the outside as if it had been
wrecked, the stones and the broken
glass making quite a pile in the side
way.
The commotion was renewed early to-
day Several groups carried with
them banners upon which had been
printed representations of the pig, now
treated in Spain as an emblem OF
America and as synonymous with
Americans. The authorities, however,
had taken severe measures. The mount
ed infantry of the Civil Guard has
been called out and the police took po-
sitions in the principal streets.
At noon to-day Saturday the dem
onstration had practically ended, al
though the people occasionally INDUCED
in patriotic cries and the streets were
full.
The Malaga correspondent of the
Daily Mall in later dispatch dated
Saturday night says:
BY the order of the Government the
local authorities of Malaga waited upon
the American Consul to-day with an
apology for the insults. The escutch-
con has been replaced. The press
strongly denounces the occurrences
which it is pointed out are likely to in
tensify the strained relations between
the two countries.
Tonight, however the popular dem
constructions were again renewed but the
authorities acted energetically.

MADRID, April Ill p. m.-The
usual Sunday bull-fight absorbed the

The general tone of the press is firmly
Warlike.
lei Liberal (moderate Republican,
welcomes the Senate's decision, al
though it is more hostile, since it hap
pens to disentangle the situation,
which is becoming insupportable to the
Spaniards, as shown by the outburst at
Malaga and elsewhere
lei Liberal expresses the hope that
the mixed commission will come to a
decision quickly, enabling Spain to
know definitely her fate.
The journals which comment on the
Senate's resolutions consider them as
further proof of Americas scheme Of
annexation, and point out that it comes
on the very day on which the Havana
delegates proposed starting to confer
with the insurgents.
Government circles feel that the reso-
lutions are fresh obstacles raised to the
union of the insurgents anad autono-
