Kitchener Sends an Account of the Re.

CAIRO, Nov. 27.-Lord Cromer, the
British minister here, has received the
following dispatch from General Kitch-
ener:
"Wingate's force caught up with the
Khalifa's force seven miles southeast Of
Godid and attacked it. After a sharp
fight. he took his position. The Khal-
ifa, who was surrounded by body
guard of emirs; was killed, and all the
principal emirs were killed or captured,
except Osman Digna, who escaped.
The dervishes were utterly defeated,
their whole camp was taken and thou
sands surrendered. A large number of
women, children and cattle also fell
into the hands of the Anglo-Egyptian
force"
among the emirs killed were the
Khalifa's two brothers and the Mahdi's
son. Osman Digna left Immediately
after the firing began and is probably
concealed somewhere in the vicinity. I
hope, eventually, to get him. We took
the entire dervish camp. All the der
vishers not killed surrendered.
=. II cannot speak too highly of the ex'
cellent behavior of the troops and their
endurance during. the long, tedious
marches preceding the final action.

gAsHINaToN, Nov. q. s. The general
currency bill prepared by the Republi-
can caucus committee y appointed by
the last con- ress. has received its final
revision at the hands of the members
and will be given to the pres. in a day
OF. two. The measure represents the
unanimous conclusions Of the commit
tee and will be called up for considera-
tion at the caucus Of the Republican
mem bers of the house next Saturday.
Accompanying the bill is report set
ting forth at length the reasons and ne
cessity which, in the opinion of the
committee, exist for the. proposed legis-
lation. The Evening Star prints the
following as some of the chief features
of the bill and which in the main are
fairly accurate: -. '-,
can amendment to the coinage laws
making IS SO grains Of gold, 900 parts
fine, the standard coin measure.
<"Afl amendment to the greenback re-
issue act of 1878 providing that those
treasury notes shall be redeemed with
gold and when so redeemed shall not
be reissued
Except In Exchange for Gold.
This provision will prevent the opera
ton of the endless chain which Hitherto
has been the means to raid the gold re-
serve.
IAN amendment to the specific re.
sumption act directing the maintenance
of gold reserve of not less than $780,
600, 900, the maintenance of the'reserv.
at that figure now being entirely dis
cretionary to the secretary of the treas
ury.
"An amendment to the national bank
act authorizing banks to be organized
with capital stock of $4,000. At
present the minimum is $4,000. An
other amendment to the same act au-
thorizing banks to issue notes to the
| par value of the bonds they have on de-
post to secure circulation. At present
the limit is 80 per cent. A third amend
ment to the act reduces the taxation of
bank circulation to one-tenth of I pei
| cent. This tax is to pay the expense OF
engraving and printing the notes. The
present rate more than meets this ex.

Near Gras Pan (about 10 miles north of
Belmont on the railway line to Kim

two machine guns, opposed him. The
action began at 6 a. m. Our battery
fired shrapnel very accurately till the
heights seemed clear. Then the naval
brigade and infantry advanced to the
assault. The fighting was desperate
until 10 a. M, when the heights were
carried. The Beers retreated on the
line where the Ninth Lancers were

"Early in the action 500 Beers attacked
our rear guard. The brigade met this
and also protected the fanks. The
naval brigade acted with the greatest
gallantry and suffered heavily, but nc
particulars are yet known.
'sThe enemy showed the greatest
stubbornness and must have suffered
greatly. Twenty were buried. It is
known that 81 were killed and 49
