THE WAR IN
KHARTOUM IN Till; HANDS OF El.
MAHDI.
Treachery anil Desertion Accomplishes
lien. Gordon’s Downfall—Intense Ex¬
citement in London and Elsewhere.
London dispatches say that the feeling of
•xultation which greeted the news of General
Stewart’s victories on his march to the Nile
and his success in reaching Gubat has
given place to a feeling of depression on
the receipt of the news that Khartoum is
in the hands of the Mahdi, that General Gor¬
don is a prisoner to the rebels if I10 is not ate.
ready killed, and that the object of General
Lord Wuholey’sexpcxlitiun bas been defeated.
Lord M'olaeley has telegraphed to the war
department that Khartoum has fallen, but
he says that he (iocs not consider that the
British position at Gubat is in any immediate
danger. When it is considered that General
Stewart, in ord'-r to gain his position at Gu'
Fat, had to fight two desjmrate battles with
the Arabs—one at Abu i£lea welts anil another
at a point about tire miles south of Metem
neh—anil that in each of these battles he lost
a number of men, it will bo realized that the
f fall , |, of , Khartoum , ., is a matter , of . great im- .
portonce to the British force at Gubat. The
march across the desert was a fx-rilous one
Gen. Stewart’s army. The return inarch
will bo still more ijorilous. The garrison
of Khartoum was expected to take part in
Uiis march and to make up for tlie men lost
n General Stewart’s army in its passage to
the Nile. Now the general is left at Gubat
without any hope of reinforcements
Gordon, and unless a relief expedition frqtfl ar#
Great Britain can reach him in time he
uis army will bo destroyed. I
The war office received news of the fall of
Khartoum, the dispatch coming direct from
General W.,Is ley The general announces
that the town or Kiiartoum fell into the
bands of the Arabs on January 20. Colonel
Wilson after the victorious march across the
- sert which ended in the encampment of
the English at Gubat on January 18,
t.u-ted up the Nile for Khartoum wefif to
-oinmuiiicatn with Gen. Gordon. He
n one of the steamers which Gordon had
.It down the Nile, with news that he
held Khartoum, and was able to hold it
-U- years to coin-. Col. Wiison arrived at
Khartoum on Jan. 28, and found to his
hands in-prise that rebels. the town native was in the
of the A reported
lo the colonel that the Mahdi
ad 00,000 men in tho vicinity of
Khartoum, and that a number of these
managed to male their way into the city on
the pk-a that they worn friends of General
Gordon. These emissaries mingled freely
with tho soldiers of General Gordon, and by
bribes, threats, mid -working on the religious
feelings i.ller ot the soldiers induced them to sur
r the garrison. Seven thousand of the
arris' >n dcserte 1 to tho Arabs, leaving
10 (loneral With Gordon this but small 2,500 faithful
soldiers force, he
attemptod to hold tho city against the Mali
ill’s great army, but after a severe battle, in
vhidi great numbers of the rebels were kill
•il, bo was obliged to surrender. This was
11 11 that Colonel Wilson could learn of the
events attending the surrender of Kharfceurn.
Whether General Gordon was a prisoner in
t he hands of the Mahdi or whether be had
been killed in the battle ha did not learn.
When Colonel Wilson found that Khartoum
was in the hands of the enemy he concluded
tlmt it would not bo wise for him to attempt
to land, and lie started at once on his return
down tho river toward Gubat.
On his wav down lio was suliiected
