IN A PERILOUS SITUATION.
Reverse in SomaIiiand May Prove Sc
rious to the British Force.

Reverse in SomaIiland May Prove Sc
rious to the British Force.
London, Oct 2O-The severe re-
verse in Somaliland places the small
British force there, of about 5000
men of doubtful reliability, in an ex-
ceedingly perilous situation.
Since the beginning of Colonel
Swayne's second campaign against the
Mullah last May little has been heard
of the expedition. The present dis
patches seem to show that he was e
treating from the Italian frontier
northward when the Mullah attacked
him at Erego. Last December the
Mullah was reported to have about
10000 men, mostly mounted, large
percentage of whom were armed with
rifles; it is possible that he now COM
mands about $4,000 men. With this
large force harassing him, Colonel
Swayne has to retreat to Bohotle, $50
miles, and probably still 100 miles
further, to Burao, the principal British
frontier post.
Colonel Swayne is accompanied by
twenty white officers and has with him
some Maxim guns and some seven
FOUNDERS.
It was announced by Lord Lans-
downe, foreign secretary, in parlia-
ment last summer, that the Italians
were cooperating with Colonel Swayne,
but, as the dispatch made public does
not mention Italian help, it is supposed
that some local difficulty was found IN
arranging for the cooperation.

London, Oct. 20.-The foreign Office
has issued an undated dispatch from
Colonel Cobbs, commanding one of the
columns of British forces operating
against the Mad Mullah in Somaliland.
The dispatch was forwarded through
the British vice consul at Berbera,
Somaliland. The British forces en-
gagged were composed entirely of ma
tive troops and levies. Colonel Cobbs
says:
my force reached Erego this morn
ing. When about one days march
north of Mudug it was attacked in the
thick bush. wo.advances were made,
and the enemy was beaten back in
the morning. Their losses were
heavy and we captured 100 rifles. Our
force then proceeded to collect an
imals for transportation purposes and
to join the detachment at the stockade
camp. In the afternoon a reconnais-
sance was made and, after sharp
fighting, the enemy were again driven
off,

clude Captain Howard and Lieutenant
Everett, but both are doing we'll. There
were severe losses among the trans
port and riding camels. The force will
reach the stockade camp tomorrow and
will advance to attack the enemy"
The vice consul also telegraphs the
substance of a later dispatch from
Colonel Swayne, who says that as a
result of the fighting at Erego Oct. g.
which was very severe, the Somal1
levies are considerably shaken. Thk
Mullah, who is said to be in commune
cation with Kali and Inger, in the
direction of the Webbe river, is bring
ing up reinforcements from all sides
Colonel Swayne is much hampered
owing to the necessity of transporting
the wounded and water. He is retiring
on Bohotle. He asks that 600 further
reliable troops be despatched from
Berbera forthwith.

plicable to the circumstances.
