PRESERVING THE TIMBER
In reply to the communication fro m
Senator Georgs, of Mississippi, iu re
lation to the boxing of trees for tur
pentine purpoes by homfB'eid
claimants, Judge B'ocksleger, assist
ant commissioner of the general land
offloe, says : “The process beirg uo-
d ubledly one of damage to the land,
there is no warrant of law under
which permission can he granted to
use for the purposes It d ca ed tim

appears that the process of boxing re

Cairo, D.cember 30 - A dispatch
from Kosoh says that Lieutenant-
General Btepbenson, commander ot
ihe Biitish forces in Egypt, who re
cently arrived here with large rein
forconents, attacked the rebels who
had been menacing the garrisoD
several weeks. A three-hours'
flirht ensu'd, resulting'* In the
B tdsh 'mops capturing Gtulse, a
village neear Kited. The reoeis w re
completely routed. Cavalry is pur
suing the enemy. Two guns and
tweniy banners were captured. The
English lost one officer killed aud
'wenly-one men wounded. Tbe
Egyptian allies of the British lost
six ki led aud thirteen wounded.
A recent report stated the Arabs at
Genies and Abai numbered 7000, of
whrm 1100 were r fl men. They had
•Ox (runs and pleipy of ammunition
Guns were placed in the tanuworks

ister of wbi, formerly goverr or of tbe
Boudan, in a recent conversation on
he Egyptian ques ion, said : “If
’he English retire on Wady
Haifa they must retire on As-
sovan; and li on Asaovun, then
on Cairo. Every pace iu advar.ee
irivea the F.uglish a huudred friends.
Every pace in relirlng gives them

gain victory aft' r victory,
but if they are Minwid hy a
retreat the Emrlish gover* ineut has
u elessly wasied blued. Thtre is
not one in ten who would not be
lieve In Ei gland’s defeat. I say tla'
r tirement now would be fatal.’’
Wneu asked whether the question
was insoluble, he replied: “No; i' re
quires two things First, n fixed
iiodcy to crush the rebellion; second
ly, money. Lot England attack the
enemy In the front, and after the lat
ter’s defeat open negotiations with
native emissaries and money. Eng
land could detach soldiers who are
now Ibe backbone of lhe rebellion,
and also some tribes who are always
j ai"Us of each other ”
When asked wnui sun. would be
required, tbe minister eatd: “Perhaps
42,000.(100; but this policy would be
me cheapest in tbe long run,”
Tbe route of the rebels was s i com
plete that Gen 8 epheason is hopeful
that it will obv.a e the necessity of
further op' rvt->ns.

Washington, D e 27 —There is
much ooi.o rn >.mung holders of
claims uudfy mail contracts made be
fore the war ol the rebelllnu as to
the probable action of enngrisron
the propt sition to be submitted by
Judge Reagan, nfT xas, to reappro
priate the $375 000 granted tiy con
gress some ytars ago to settle these
claims. The appropriation was made
when Mi Bherm«n was secretary cf
tbe treasury. N . action was ever
taken toward adjudicating or aecer-
taili ng these ciarm; but a letter
waa written back to the
house of representatives by
Mr Sherman, iu which he said
that the claims, a-a class, were of
doub.ful validity, on account of many
of them having been assumed and
paid by the confederate government,
the service having been rendered
wt'hin territory In armed rebellion
against the federal government. Mr
Sherman, ou being questioned by
ye.ur correspondent ou the subject,
said that an examtnaUou of the con
federate arot.tvee now iu the war de*
i»irment w. uld dlsc ose reoeipts iu

q lonily claimed by the contractors

also said li.at other claims

did not confer up >u the secretary of
