THE FALL OF KASSALA.  Some details come from Cairo respecting the garrison of Kassala, whichcame to terms with the Hadendowa tribe on July 30th. Though the terms made are still unknown, it is understood that both the rebels and the garrison are now living together in Kassala. The 7imes correspondent says the above news was received in Cairo three days ago, but the authorities, thinking there was a possibility of the news being without foundation, kept it secret. Since then confirmation of it has been received at Souakim from three different sources. The garrison was forced to capitulate through want of provisions, having eaten all the donkeys and dogs, and latterly existing on grass. Osman Digma is reported to be furious with the Haclendowas for saving the lives of their enemies. It is probable that means will now be taken by Major Chermside to obtain the release of the prisoners. Sennaar is said to be still holding out. The garrison, a few days before the end of July, had repulsed an attack of the rebels and driven them back. The Rassegna, of Rome, commenting upon the news of the fall of Kassala says that the treaty between England and Abyssinia will now be of no account. The Mudir of Dongola has returned to Cairo and reported that he has heard prisoners who have escaped from the Mandi's camp, say that there are great dissensions among the rebels owing to the death of their leader. He does not believe that any other Mandi is likely to arise in the Soudan. In consequence of the decision that a strong contingent of the Egyptian army will form part of the Frontier Field Force," under Major-General Grenfell, with headquarters at Assouan, a depot battalion for the regiments of the native army serving with the force has been formed at Abbasseyeh.
