DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS
british loops Occupy Khartoum, Egypt,
After Strengthening Thousands of the
Dervishes-France Greatly stirred Up
Over Revelations In the Dreyfus Case
Killed $4,000 DervIshes.

London: The khalifas forces have
been utterly routed in the Upper Nile
region of Egypt and Khartoum is in
possession of the British Egyptian
forces under Gen. Kitchener. The
town is a complete ruin. Khalifa Alb
dullah and Osman Digna, his principal
general, managed to escape, but Abb
dullah's banner and thousands of pris-
oners were taken. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 of the enemy were slain. Brit
ish total casualties were about 500.
The entire British force was engaged
from $3.50 in the morning until sunset.
The dervishes resorted to their usual
rushing tactics, and were simply
moved down. The khalifa's cavalry
rode pell-mell at the British infantry
column; but the footmen never wav-
cred. The deadly fire poured into the
enemy's rushing ranks caused the death
of nearly every rider. The heroic
bravery of the dervishes evoked univer-
sal admiration. Time after time their
dispersed and broken forces reformed
and hurled themselves upon the Anglo
Egyptians, their emirs conspicuously
leading and spurning death. Even when
wounded and in death agonies they
raised themselves TO fire last shot.
The sirdir, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitche-
ner, with the l1halifa's black standard
captured during the battle, entered
Omdurman, the capital Of Mahdiam, at
the head of the Anglo-Egyptian col
umn. Only two British officers were
killed. Gen. Kitchener telegraphs:
1.-THE remnant of the khalifa's force
has surrendered and | have now very
large number of prisoners on my hands.
Our cavalry and gunboats are still pur-
suing the khalifa and his chiefs, who
with only about 40 fighting men are
apparently making for Kordofan."

Died From Lack OF Food and Medicines.
Col. Petermann, commanding the
oath Michigan volunteers, in relating
the deeds of his boys before Santiago
and reciting their sufferings from hun
ger and lack of medical care says: 1.-The
conditions under which the campaign
was carried on were awful. During
the first few weeks the men were only
half fed. My regiment Jared particu-
larly hard, owing to the fact that in
our forced march our baggage had to
be left behind, and what little the men
had was lost or thrown away We
slept on the bare ground, without shell
ter tents or any protection from the
weather. The want of proper food and
protection has undoubtedly been the
cause of so much sickness. There
seems TO have been something wrong
in the management of affairs. The
medical department seems to have
been unable TO cope with the condi-
tions; in fact, it seemed to be the poor
est equipped department on the
ground. Medicines could not be got
ten for love nor money. In spite of
the fact that our regimental surgeons
were doing all that could be done, my
men died for the want of proper medi-
cine and food"
