London. September '-.-Th ' war re

dited at Om lurnr.’i yesterday from
I r.iar G'neral Sir Herbert Kitchener:

The latest accounts of the capture of
Omdurman add but little to those ie.<iv<d
vesterdav. All agree as • > th.- brilliancy
of the cavalry charge of the Twenty-tlrst
Eancers.
This was the great feature of the battle.
I’v. ry man who fell in th-? charge was im
m-diately hacked to pieces by th.- fanatical
d< rvishes, yet tin I.oncers reformed as
coolly as if on parade.

races, m ido a most gallant attempt to

bay with revolvers. T!.. v seeureil the body

which it was placed shied.
Ibero was another memorable incident
while MacDonald's Black brigade was cau
tiously crossing the field after the der
vishes had brok"n to dispatch the wounded
Baggatas—an impressive duty, owing io
the custom of tin- Haggaras to feign death
ami then deal a fatal blow to the unwary

The dervishes reformed and with rc-en
forei ments made a desperate rush upon aa
Isolated camel corps. beifi-ving they ha.l it
at their mercy. The corps ret,red steadily
without confusion.
MacDonald's brigade, assisted by the
gunboat.-. < ame to the rescue and covered
the reti.-i m.-nt of the earn* I corps by pour
ing volley after volley on the advancing
dervishes, who, although theft ranks were
terribly thinm.d, continued their desperate
advance.
More dervish reserves swept down, the
. ngageim nt be. me brisk and general, tint
the enemy was: soon completely routed.
1 pate ;cs from Omdurman relate that
newspaper correspondent Howard, who

GUNBOATS ASCEND WHITE NILE.
England Wants To Open Commerce
with Interior of Africa.
Khartoum. September 6.—By Host to Nas
ri.—Five gunboats have proceeded up th?
White Nile.
London, September 7. The dispatch from
Khartoum announcing that the British
gunboats have pus > ,<o tho White Nile
is regarded as highly significant.
The sirdar telegraphed on Saturday that
the condition of Hit bank of the Nile made
it impos.-ibb- to utilize tie gunboats in
the pursuit of Khalifa Abdulla.
The only Inference, therefore, is that the
gunboats have now gone io join hands
with Major Ma -Donald, who is now known
to be on litri way northward from Uganda,
an operation which he- om; b< - n contem
plated by the government. Sir Mieba.-l
Hicks-Beach, chane lior of tin- exch.-quer,
announced In parliament on June 27th last
that an attempt would be made to open
up commerce with the interior of Africa by
a flotilla on the Nile.

BLOODY BATTLE IN CRETE.
Turks in Christian Quarter Shoot and
Apply Torch.
Cardin, September G.— Candla isl In a
state of anarchy. A collision between tho
Mussulmans, wh., were. demonstrating
against European control, and the, Brit
ish authorities, who have been installing
Christians as revenue officials, culminated
today in bloody fighting between the Mus
sulmans and tho British troops.
Biots occurred in various parts of tho
citv and many were killed. When the out
bnak was fiercest a warship ‘ ‘
the harbor begun firing shells vHth th
result that a portion of the city is
fiames. The greatest confusion and uproar
prevails and it is feared that the night
will not pass without further pillage and
destruction. .
Tho trouble began with the attempt of
the British military autlmrities to install
Christian officials. They had appointed a
council of internal control to administer
tiie tithe revenues and a detachment of
soldiers was stationed outside tiie office
as a piecaution. A crowd of unarmed Mus
sulmans who had been demonstrating
against Hie Christians, attempted to force
an entrance into the office.
The British soldiers fired and wounded
several. Tiie Mussulmans ran to their arms
and returning, attacked the soldiers. Other
Mussulmans spread rapidly through Hie
Christian quarter shooting into windows
and setting many Imuses dnd shops on lire.

w re reri-ived from Candia after the bom
bardment began sc* ins to indicate that
tho situation there is serious.
It is known there that the Mussulmans
are discontented at the joint rule of the
powers in Crete. This was largely due to
the fact that they were eonfim-d in tiie
towns while tiie Chrisli-ans were allowed
tho liberty of the Islands. But the rising
of the Mussulmans was unexpected.

ty British bluejackets tr<nn tho Bril-.sli
torpedo gunboat Hazard was almost an
nihilated before tho soldiers could reach
their ship.
In addition, a detachment of forty-five
British soldiers w< :•<• driven from their
quarters near the teh.-graph station ami
many of them were woun<l<-<i. The casual

i told him plainly in strong language that
as governor in- would be held responsible
I in Hie event of any further disturbances.
Edhem Pasha asserted that lie was power
less to control the mob, but his sincerity
seems very doubtful, seeing that lie had
over 1,000 Turkish troops under bis orders.
A message just signaled from the town,
i reports the guard of eight British soldiers,
who. with about thirty Christians, took
refuge in the Greek cathedral, is quite un
der the protection of the Turkish troops.
"Yesterday the chiefs of the Christian
community offered Colonel Reid tlu-lr as
sistance, but he declined to accept it.
"The sea. is rough, ami landing is diffi
cult. Indeed. it Is impossible to got
through Hie harbor which is held by tm'
mob. Marines. however, are being
landed in small detachments, and are
hastening to rc-enforco tho British camp.
"Outside tho cordon the Christians are
dissembling In thousands. Tliey threaten
to rush into Hie town and avenge the fate
of their co-religionists.”
Christians Arming for War.
Athens, Septonib-r B.—Tho following dis
patch dated at s o'clock tills evening, has
been received from Candia:
"The bashi-bazouks arc committing ex
cesses ami tiie Christians in tho surround
ing districts are arming to march to the
assistance of tile Candians.
“There are eight warships in the harbor,
and a frosli bombardment Is expected.
"Tho British, German and Spanish con
sulates have boon looted, and Huts far ,W

have been killed."
Tiie Asty says it learns from an authen
tic source that ns soon as tho British
troops arrive at Candia. from Malta, tho
Turkish garrison in Candia will be ex
pelled, martial law proclaimed and the
ringleaders of Hie riots put on trial and
publicly hanged if guilty.
According to a dispatch from Candia
sent, late 'this evening, the admirals of tho
international fleet liave decided to compel
tiie disarming of tiie bashi-bazouks ami
tho surrender of the instigators of the dis
order.
International Troops Restore Order.
Candia. Island of Crete, September B.—A

lias just arrived here, lias occupied tlie
fortiliiations and restored order.
It is now estimated that 2>W per
sons were killed during the rioting. The
Mussulman troops protected the Chris
tians placed under their care, but tliey did
not. attempt to prevent the pillage ot < liris
ti.m houses, which continued until tiie in
ternational troops arrived.
Tiie president of the Cretan executive

Edhem Pasha To Blame.

BRISSON JEALOUS
OF W. CAVAIGNno
Zurlinden Has Been Offered and
Accepts the Portfolio of tho
Minister of War.
THE CRISIS IS PROMISED
Wife of Dreyfus Asks To Have the
Case of Her Husband Opened
Again.
Paris. September s.—General Zurlinden.
military governor of Paris, has accepted
the portfolio of the minister of war. in
succession to M. Cavaignac. resigned.
General Zurlinden was a member of the
Ribot cabinet, which went out of office
October 28, 1895.
General Zurlinden's decision to accept
the war portfolio was communicated to
President Faurc. After long conferences
with the minister of tiie interior. M. Bris
son, and the minister of justice. M. Sar
rlen, General Zurlinden was interviewed
by a newspaper reporter. The minister of
justice, the general said, asked for tho
Dreyfus documents. When tihese were given
him lie add'd he would study tho docu
ments carefully and inform himself thor
oughly regarding the case before discussing
It with the cabinet.
Winn tiie cabinet met the minister of
justice, M. Ferdinand Sarrien. informed bls
colleagues of tiie receipt of Madame Drey
fus's request for a revision of the verdict
against her husband. M. Sarrien promised
to give a. statement of tiie result of bus
examination into th,, matter at a meeting
of the cabinet to be convened after the
minister of war shall have been appointed.
The crisis :n tin <• ibinet is not yet defi
nitely settled. Both M. Brisson and M.
('avaignae are believed to lie playing for
tb > presidency of the republic, and it is
thought that Brisson Is growing Jealous of
Cavaignac's in :■ using popularity.
The latti-r, owing to bls sup< I'ior social
qualities, is supposed to stand the best
chance and it was with a view of securing
the support of 'he army that he- stood out
against a revision.
Opinions differ as to how the latest de
velopments affect the situation. There is
a rumor tonight that General Zurlinden,
tiie new minister for war, will advocate a
nu-re annulling of th- Dreyfus judgment
and sep.- n-'e as a :.if.-r way out of the
imbroglio than a re-trial, involving all
sorts of awkward revelations.
Whether or not t:.is be true, them is
much speculation as to bow President
Fauro Induced General Zurlinden to accept
the war portfolio after twice refusing it.

alleged authorship of the bordereau in
the Dreyfus case is now being con

Still Hostile to Dreyfus.
The country being now violently antl-
S<-m.; -, and Dreyfus being a J.-w, tb..' gov
ernment will liave to act warily and eieep
rati, -i- : ian walk forward. The l it- Lieu
tenan i’olom-1 Henri’s cons, .-- ton brouga:
public opinion round to a r.-vision; but tae
hostility to Dreyfus Is not bated, ’i’ll—
peo|.b f.-e! tli.it a mist of iniquity is in
volv -.: in tin affair, and th want to ji-n
--etra:e t. They are beginning to under
stand that tiie general staff is no better
than when it r<-ndcred t’u mill ary disas
ters of Ix7o inevitable. Tiie resignation of
General Boisdeffre, as chief of 1-he general
staff, l.s a. standing puzzle, and it arouses
suspicions that only a public trial can
qul-it. The jieople ask:
Was Dreyfus an accomplice of E.-ter
hazy :'
W« they both able to hold rods In pickle
for it tr superiors?
Was such power the reason why - tiie
tri-1 -. trangely ndu :■ 1. and Drey
fus r-b-gated to the solitude of Devil’s
is kind ?
’l'h ■ darkest conjectures tire t . emingly
Justifi'-d by tit'' circumstances connected
with t’oionel Henri's ; <uiei.fi . which, th<>
J. -as remark, was accomplished on Un- doc
th*- Zionist congress brok- up. That event
utterly .lis.-r. <lits tb- intelligence dep.ir:-
me:i of tiie war oflic. . and indeed, dic
er. -d is Hie whole general staff.
No more gr. wsome event lias over shock
ed human sentiment and conscience, and
though it happened within sight of Paris,
it Is shroud'-d tn mystery.
Second Suicide in Case.
Colonel Henri’s is the second suicide con
nected with Hie Dreyfus affair. Tito first
stti< i-i. was that of Le Mercier Pi. .ini. an
intelligence agent of the general staff o:
Colo.l. I s, liwarzkoppen. the G-rrnan mili
tary attache iiere, and of the Italian em
bassy. He was found suspended from a.
lamp book in a celling. Was in- murdered?
Was 1 ea suicide? The suspicious facts of
ills . -ith were hushed up by the late gov
ernment and M. Lepine, the former prefect
of p dice.
Th- r- ri .rted suicide of Major Cou’i?
Est -.-i ,-iz.v was a '■.inn rd. He knows wJiere
ton many skeletons are concealed not to
feel s;i: Ho will die a. natural death,
but fresh revelitions may lead to others
Imitating Colonel Henri.
Th- furies as in th- Greek fr.-igo.li- .;
seem to enter into this drama.
Tho fall of G-neral Boisd.-ffre bring tho
drama homo to tin- imp.-rial court of Rus
sia, where, as a brilliant, aristo.-ratfi? mili

was admitted to the intimate festivities of
