German Warning To
Great Britain.

A striking feature OF the present
debates in the Reichstag was the ex,
tremely nti-English feeling displa-
yed when Herr MOeller, the Deputy
who interpeilated the government,
declared that England'S ignoring OF
the rights of forcing nations is un.
exampled in history.
Count Won BIlow also spoke with
unusual sharpness, and all the points
which he particularly emphasized
were greeted by loud applause.
Count Won Bulow's declaration
that Germany would try to bring
about an international regulation Of
maritime Law was of more than pas
sing Importance.
Still more important was the claim
of Germany that mail steamers sal
ling under the, imperial flag should
not be held up by war shipt, which
up to the present has been permitted
by international law.
England has, however, bowling to
the force of circumstances, given in
on this point, and agreed that Ger
man mail steamers shall not in futu
re be searched on simple suspicion
till a special agr' ement has been
come to between the governments.
Count Won BullOw stated five con-
ditions proposed by the German go.
vernment. These are =
1. The release of the Bundesrath
2. Indemnity for the seizure.
Third-Non-i inspection of German
ships north of Alden.
Fourth-Respect for the flag Of

Fifth-Arbitration in regard to
indemnity in case the two powers
should fail to agree on the amount

The Battle OF Ladys=
mith OF The 9th
Instant.
From the Daily Mail. ]

About four this morning brisk
rifle fire, following upon the boom Of
big guns, was directed by party of
4,500 Beers at the pickets of Cae-
sar's Camp. The English we're dri-
ven back by the superior numbers of
the enemy, cOntesting every inch of
the ground. The Boer front exten-
ded from Wagon Hill round to the
flats near the side of Caesars Camp,
and their advance was supported by
the big guns on Umbulwana Hill.
Fortunately squadron of the I'M
percial Light Horse had been asSiS-
ting in some alterations on the fort
at Wagon Hill and were still in the
neighborhOOd. When the attack
commenced the Beers had forced
their way into the British lines and
were close to our howitzer. But
their advance was checked, the I'M
perial Light Horse, by a dashing
charge, ultimately driving them
back.
The English forces We're quickly
modified. They comprised the Cor
dons, Rifles, Manchesters, DevOns,
Naval Brigade, Imperial Light
Horse, Border Mounted Rifles, Ma
tai Mounted Rifles, Fifth Lancers,
Fifth Dragons, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Hussars, two batteries OF
artillery and Natal Police.
Firing became very heavy on both
sides. One of our naval guns and
the other artillery shelled the enemy
along the ridge of Caesars Camp,
and drove them to point where the
Gordons were lying in wait for them.
The HighlanderS were fortunate in
getting promptly among the Beers,
and doing splendid execution with
the bayOnet.
Gradually the Beers were driven
into a somewhat limited space at
the end of Caesars Camp hill. The
fighting became hotter than ever !;
the English artillery steadily adyan-
cling as the Beers fell back.
The enemy contested the ground
with the utmost determination.
Toward midday the firing slacke-
ned. The British then so manoeu-
vred that early in the afternoon the
Beers were driven into a position
broken by series of dongas, from
which they were unable to retire
without exposing themselves to a
heavy fire.
The GordOns and ManchesterS
and the Rife Brigade awaited the
emerging enemy at distance Of
only eighty yards, while the ORA
goons and Hussars we're in extended
order and ready to close in to pre-
vent their retreat.
While the Beers were in this pre-
dicament terrific rain and hail
storm broke. To add to their dis.
comfort one of our batteries, which
had been moved into position COM
manding the dongas, dropped shell
after shell among them. The car
mage must have been horrible. AL

Osman Digna A Bri=
tiSh Prisoner.

Dispatches from Cairo state that
Osman Digna, principal general Of
the late Khalifa Abdullah, has been
captured.
1t had been known that he was in
the neighborhood of Tokah Tokar
six days ago, and several expedi-
tions were organized from Suakim,
under Captain Burgess, with the re-
suit that Osman Digna was taken
unhurt in the hills yesterday. He
will arrive at Suakim tomorrow.
Osma Digna was the only leading
emir who escaped death or capture
when the Khalifa was slain in battle
by the British force under General
Wingate in November last. He
left soon after tho battle began and
managed to get into hiding, as he
always had done when the British
got within touch of any force of the
Mahdps with which he was asSOcia-
ted.
1t is probable that no one man has
caused more annoyance and expen
'diture of British blood and treasure
than Osman Digna. According to
romantic story; vouched for by
men of such standing as DR.. Schw-
infurth and DR.. Felkin, this leadere
of Arabs was born on the banks of
the Seine in 1856, and christened
George in the Rouen Cathedral.
His father, Joseph Nisbet, having
failed in business, went to Egypt
EitL his wife and the boy, then about
eleven years old. There Nisbet so
on died and his widow was married
merchant OF Alexandria, who, ha-
wing no child ofhis own, made much
of his stepsOn, brOugar him up as
a Mohammedan and entered him at
the Giro military school as OSman
Digna, Jr. There he studied under
French, German and British officers.
In 1860 the whole family novel to
Suakim, wi ere Osman Digna, Sr, /,
soon became prominent as the lea
ding merchant and slave dealer Of
the Red Sea coast. Five years la
ter his wealth was inherited by his
stepsOn, who, as the new OSlnan
Digna, acquired even. greater wealth
and influence.
Osman Digna warmly espOused
the cause of Arab Pacha when the
insurrection broke out in Cairo in
1882, the rebel leader being his old
friend and classmate. He was then
elected chief by the Shieks of the
Eastern Soudan, and attained such
power that the Mahdi and his sue
cessor we're compelled 10 defer to his
wishes.
OF herculean stature, Osman Dig
ma has piercing black eyes, shaggy
eyebrows and ad immense beard.
He lost hi; left arm in battle. He
took three wives from the most i'm
pOrtant Arab tribes of the Soudan.
He manifested skill of so high an
order in his construction of defences
around Suakim that it led to the
suggestion that Osman Digna was
only the nom de guerre cfan expe-
rienced European officer. Similarly,
throughout his career, he has dis
played great ability both as stra-
tegist and as a tactician. His long
Immunity from capture is remar-
kable token to one feature of his

was present is remembered.
