REWARD FOR OSISIAN'S CAPTURE.  SUAKIM, Sunday.  The entire force is now concentrated here. The Jumna left to-day for England with invalids. The Admiral ia sending out the following Proclamation : '` I, the English Gwernor and General civil and military of Suakim, make known toat whosoever will bring in the rebel Osman. the murderer, who has by his he caused the bl iod of the tribe to be -nut at E Tub end Tamar:deb, alive or dead, shalt receive 5,000 dollars rowarb." Admiral Hewett has given the spy who furnished information as to the 1-XACt position in which the enemy woali lie in wait hr us the 500 doll ire reward whieh he promised should the information tuin out C.llTee ". Unfortunately, no advantage was taken of the disclosure. The numerous c.sualties among the non-commissioned officers of the 42 vi erode from t ie fact that in it of them were supernumerarie., and as stic:r w..re be i ind the fighting line. Consequently. when the enemy burst in on the right of the square they were taken in the rear, and kiilel before the men in front were r ally cons ions of what had happened.  PERSONAL HEROISM The correspondent of the Daily Tekgrapli in his toter telegrams respecting the bsttle of Tata.; gays :—" I wag an eye- aitnees t scores of inst %Lees of heroism nn t e part , of our troops, for t was present with the Eni Beaadi from first to last during the fighting. so eterwards galloped after and joined the is- Brigade, entering Tama with them. Whilst the Black %Vote-, were r.t r,n, hard pressed by the Arabs, a private ruche 1 at oue of the enemy who was slashing right and bet and ran him through with the bayonet, ding it so violeolythat he thrust the point o' his rifle into the sasses bo'y, and had t 3 drag the aotondei man with him for some atance before he coal ext -; the weapon. What oc3urred to Section 1, C 'toper y B, of the 42d. will illustrate the te,r.',,da na•ore of the contest where the fire raged fiercest. Of twenty men who went into the first charge of ctur troops up to the edge Of the nullah—the regiment was obeying orders—it would have been wiser and better hai they fel their ground advaneing steadily—hut three ercapei alive, and they were badly wounded. One of the finest aid strongest men in the Block Wa'cli was with Section I. namely, big Jamie Ada:es, and he was pluokily backed by Colour-Sergeant Donald Peas r. Both men faced the rushing horde of nearly nak-d Arabs, chargin: partly ov• r the brink and down into the nullah. The boll e was too fierce to permit of time to withdraw empty c itridges, It alone load rifles. These men awl their comrades opposed steel with steel, fighting with all the Physical Power they possessed, which was vastly grea'er than the if newy strength of the swarthy savage.. The two Highlanders made over a dozen of their foemen bite the dust bfore they fell from loss of blood eust.sined by cats from thrown speare. While they foileht thy used not only the .r rifles, the butte as well as their tnyonets, but when the Arabs closed in hit out with their fists in the ecramble. An th,r man of the same s ction, Private'George Drummond. who came out alive with three *eon li, whilic hayenetlng an Arab was cut over the head by a horseman on a gr,y charger with one of those huge cross-hilted swords. Drummond's helmet and thi swerving of the horse saved him. Though stunned, he rallied in a mom-tnt, and drove his bayonet through the Aeah's body. Whilst togging to get it out, another Arab rushed at him, spear in hand, but his fighting chum, Kelly. shot the Navega. Poor Kelly was killed almost inet sntly of ter asrds, and Duinunond had his work cut out to get away. It has since transpired that the mau on the grey charger was Osman Distna s cousin, Sheikh Mohamed, and that :he follower who rushed to his rescue was his etewerl or wakil. During last night the Arabs appeared to have stolen in and carried the Sheikh's body away. They also se orched for other Sheikhs who were among ths dead, and buried them before morning, for to-day we fount these new graves." _ _  -
