A BRITISH STORY.
Ten Thousand Of the Mad MulIah'e
Men Slain in a Fierce

|. London. July 1.-The war office today
received a dispatch from Colonel Roch-
fort, one of the British officers serving
with the Abyssianian force in Somaliland,
which, says the Abyssinians, May 81, aft
er series Of forced marches, struck the
Mad Mullah's forces near Jeyd, surprising
them at dawn and killing 10000 spearmen
and capturing almost all their cattle and
sheep and 1000 carnels. -
2 Colonel Rochfort adds that the Abys-
sinians have effectually closed to the Null
Lab all the watering places south OF tho
Gerlogubi-Galadi line, and he hopes they
will soon be in contact with the British
forces, and thus be able to cooperate in
the pursuit of the Mullah, who Is de-
layed in his movements by the fact that
he is crossing a Waterless part Of the
country. ~
