DERVISH LEADER
 ESCAPED FROM BRITISH ARMY

London, Dec. 6.-The Mad Null lah,' the dervish leader, who seems to bear a charmed life, is now in Abyssinia, safe from British pursuit, but of his numerous wives sons and relatives, only hi eldet son and a brother ecaped with him.
 In the British campaign against him, sixty of his personal followers were killed, including seven of his cons, seven close relatives and four of his advisers. Six sons, his five wives, four daughters and two sisters were captured
 Picturesque details of the fruitless attempts to captain the dervish chief tain are given in an ojcial dispatch from Geoffrey Francis Arcker, the British governor of that protector ate
 Xn the early months of this year, the dervish forces were completely routed, but the Mullah himself once more got away into the interior. Bombing airplanes were used in the cam paign and the dispatch records air squad, the Mullah collected his people around him and awaited their coming under a white canopy used on state occasions.
 Some dervishes afterward report ed that the MuIlah saw in the air. planes "a divine manifestation; oth- CTS said that he had been told that the machines were Turkish and came from Starnboul CConstantinople) to convey the Sultan's greetings.
 It was during this first. air raid that tt1e Mullah narrowly escaped with his life. His robes were singed by bomb and he afterward pru- dent1y took refuge in caves.
 For many days, says the dispatch, the Mullah was pursued by the camel corps, often on half rations and even on no rations at all. The chase was kept up day and night until there was nothing further to pursue-from the sea to the southern border of the protectorate.t
 One group of fugitiveS whose tracks were followed turned out to be not the Mullah and his bodyguard, but a party of Abyssinions. Most of the party were killed, the dispatch adds, and the MuIlah, who was close at hand all the time, saw their fate from ahiding place on a neighboring hill.
