SURELY DEAD
Is Gordon, the Gallant
English Leader. ,
THE HISTORY OP HIS TAXING OFF,
His Death Unavenged, and the En
glish Fleeing from the Desert,
Vhilfl Ihc ilahfi Advasces With 40,000 Arabs
And Swears He Will Flaunt the
Bahner Over all Afriea.
At last It Is known beyond question that
Gordon is dead! One of his trusted servants
has reached Wolseley and gives the harrow
ing details of bis master’s death.
In the meantime, instead of the promised
hastening to revc-nge him, as was promised,
the English armies are rapidly retreating
from the desert. With General Gordon slain,
General Stewart dead, and General Earle
killed, they are falling back to the coast,
where they will await reinforcements. They
surrender the immense tract of desert Gordon
bad conquered at so heavy cost. It is doubt
ful indeod if General Buller can got out without
themostof bistroups being wounded. The mah
di, haughty and inflamed with victory, presses
them closely, with 40,000 swift Arabs at his
back, and tribea crowding to his standard by
thousands.
The strategic points in the desert are the
wells. These are held as centers from which
armies deploy. There will be skirmishes
around the wells for the next few days. Then
all will be quiet until the English have massed
new armies on the African coast. These armies
are now en route. When they arrive thoy
will march into the deseat to find the mahdl.
Then will ensue a terrific war. The victories
of the mahdi will give him 100,000 soldiers,
and the general revalt of Mohammedanism
against English rale may extend even to
Egypt. The English will conquer at last—
but the war of the Soudan will take rank la
romantic interest with the war of the cru-
eades, and the eyes of the world for the com
ing year will often turn to where Gordon
and hla brave Englishmen, with their
life-blood stained the sands of the African
desert with imperishable glory.
Loxnox, February 18.—The cavass, who has
given the moat intelligent, and to all appear
ances, the moat reliable account of tho events
attending the fall of Khartoum, is named Ab
dul Kerim. He was one of General Gordon's
servants, lie secured bis escape from Khar
toum after the city fell, bo says, by bribery.
Ho bought a camel, and crossed to Debben,
the journey taking twelve days. From Deb-
bch he came to Korti in nn English pinnace.
THE STURT OF GORDON’S HKTRATAL.
Abdul Kerim coutinucs to add to his history
oi tho fall of Khartoum. He says that Far-
•gc, upon whom Gordon relied implicitly,
was really tho person who delivered Khar
tcum over to El Mahdi’s troops. V< -v** Wwj
♦•titered the city it was Forage who prevouted
the garrison from tiring upou thcui. Thc Atoty-
that Farnge had once boon a slave, and that
Gordon secured his liberation, and that when
he subsequently entered Gordon's servico, tho
latter was deceived into mistaking Faroge's
zeal for evidence ol gratitude, is corroborated
by the cavass. Concerning the massacro in
Khartoum, Abdul Kerim states that Genoral
Gordon’s clerk, and tho chiof
clerk of tho arsenal, woro
killed. El Mahdi did not enter Khartoum
until the third day after its capitulation. Uo
inspected the city and thon returned to Om*
durmnn, whero ho remains. After General
Gordon fell Abdul Kerim says the
Arabs killed his clerk and
nine others with spears. Thoso who waro at
the time with Gordon escaped. The cavass
declares that with the exception of tho attack
in which these murders wero committed, thoro
was no fighting in Khartoum. During tho
k, however, ” *’ ** *
attack, however, all tho Europeans and
most of the notables were killed. Whilo tho
attack was in progress, tho male inhabitants
of the city joined the insurgents. Abdul states
that no women or children wero killed, and
that all who submitted to tho invaders and
surrendered their valuables were unharmed.
Abdul Kerim says that El Mahdi has forty
thousand good fighting men who, however, he
thinks have been scared at the results of tho
battles at Abu KleaGubut, and Kabbabish.
The commander of Metamneh has asked tho
mahdi tor guna and ammunition, as ho is una
ble to fight tho English with spears. Tho
mshdi replied to his request: “Don't fight.
Wait awhile, and I will como and destroy the
infidels."
ANOTHER MF.8SRKGKR FROM KHARTOUM.
General Gordon’s trusted mo»acngnr,Georga,
has arrived at Abu Klea. He says that almost
til tho native accounts agree that Gordon, on
finding himself betrayed, made a rush for the
magazine, near the Catholic mission building.
Finding the rebels already in possession, he
returned to the government bouse, a ad was
killed while trying to re-enter it. The rebels
were admitted to Khartoum at ton o’clock on
the night of tho 2fith of January. Another ac
count says that Gordon rushed to
ward the magazine, intending to
explode it and thus prevent the ammunition,
of which there was several tons, from falling
into the hands of the enemy. Tho Arabs
quickly realized his intention and shot him
dead.
The British Retreat from the Desert.
London, February 19.—Reports from Abo
Klea, dated on the evening of the 13th inst.,
states that General Buller announced his in
tention to evacuate his position near Gubat,
and withdrew bis whole force to Abu Klea,
which is a better strategetie position. After
rendering Gordon's two steamers useless by
removing their rasehinery, the whole force
started en the morning of the 14th instant
across the desert, and arrived at Abu
Klea next day without firing a
shot. Tbe men are in
a cheerful frame of mind. They prefer walk
ing to camel riding. The Arabs, who were
massed in and around Metemneb, did not
notice tbia movement for several hours after
Gubat bad been deserted. The British will
retire to Gakdpl wells, and may possibly con
tinue tbe retreat to Korti in order to con
centrate the force there under command of
General Wolseley for a fresh advance.
It is said the mahdi is traveling in state
with 40,000 to 00,000 followers toward Metora-
neh. Tbe force that General Talbot encoun
tered wss an advanced detachment. On the
Htb it slant tbe mahdi, with his army was
twenty miles from Gubat, and
wss marching slowly.
The Valid I In Khartoum and Moving on
Metemorh.
Upon tha captor# ot Khartoum, El Mahdi
seized all the treasure in Gordon’s possession.
This included a large amount in bank notes,
which El Mahdi is now trying to discount. A
fsw copies of a leaden modal struck by General
Gordon to commemorate the long seize of
Khartoum have be*n received in London, and
are wiling for double their weight in gold.
An Arabian paper reports that the mahdi prom
ised Forage 140,0#a thalers to betray Khar
toum. but gave him only 66.560, and whan
Forage complained the mahdi hanged him. It |
Is said that the mahdi captured 15,000 Rem
ington rifles at Khartoum.
Stewnrt Dead aud Duller*# Retreat Cut Off.
Cairo, February 20.—A dispatch from
Korti brings the sad intelligence of -the death
of General Sir Herbert Stewart, who was
wounded at the Zercba fight o! January 19lh.
His death occurred February lGtb, at Gakdul
wells, where the wounded were brought from
Gubat.
Genera! Buller, who began his retreat from
Gubat several days ago, was compelled to halt
at Abu Klea wells and intrench his troops in
pcsition there, in order to safely defend him
self against El Mahdi’s men,who are gathering
in large numbers on bis line of retreat,and are
continually menacing the British forces. Grave
fears are entertained in some quarters here that
Buller may meet the fato of Gordon unless he
is speedily succored.
General Buller sent a portion of his force,
including all the native troops, to Gakdul ou
the ItUb, after which Arab scouts made their
appearance about Abu Klea. Buller ordered
new forts constructed, and our
position strengthened with a view of protec
tion against possible attacks. The first Arabs
appeared at three o'cloek in the afternoon.
The' numbers continually increased until
within two hours of the ridges on the Berber
road were swarming with them. Whilo a row
of stone defense walls was being orected, our
infantry advanced several times and fired a
volley at the rebels, killing mauy and
preventing them from coming nearer than
1500 yards. Lord Charles Beresford also fired
the Gardner guns which were placed in the
fort. Until this timo tho Arabs had nude
hardly a reply, but at 5:30 p. m., without
warning, they opened a well-directed fire
from 500 Remington rifles. Tho bullets rattled

occasional volley was fired. Ail fires and

FURTHER DETAILS OF Till FIOnT.
Later details of the night attack on Buller’s
forces, while on their retreat from Gubat to
wards Korti, say tho attack was made by a
party of Arab sharpshooters, estimated to
number nbout 400. As previously stated,
tho Arabs fired at long range, aud
tho British soldiers shielded themselves ta
well es they could bchiud their hastily
e true ted entrenchments. No serious attempt
was made to return the enemy’s fire, owing to
tho necessity of husbanding ammunition. On

tho British side two men wero killed and
eleven wounded. Buller has erectod
three new fails, and is preparing
forascige. He has dispatched a messenger
to Wolseley, describing the situation o£ criti
cal, and stating that El Mahdi is advancing
upon his position with an immense
force.
A British Fight by Flanking,
London, February 22.—A dispatch from Abu
Klea says that General Buller arrived there
on the 15th inst from Gubat. At noon, on the
17tb, he commenced a systematic shelling of
the Arab lines. Two well-directed shots did
tho enemy great damage, one exploding
amidst a group of men engaged in placing a
howitzer on tho summit of a hill oast of tho
sailors' fort, ana tho othor removing tho
wheels o| n gun carnage. Lord Charles Bors-
ford also did the enemy great injury with the
Gardner guns.
The honors of the day fell to Major Wardrop,
who, with thirteen men, stole cautiously round
tho enemy’s right, and found that they hnd
only a lew hundred riflemeu on tho
hilfs, and no reserve spears.
Keeping out of sight he sent volleys at a
range oi 800 yards on tho enemy's ilauk.Leav-
ing ono man at this point to continue tho fire-
log, ho took the twelve others and quickly as
possible pursued tho samo tactics at three suc
cessive hills, giving tho Arabs the impression
that fresh bodies of British troops wero ar

takftog-thtfr^'gvisS, cfoad and wounded with
them. A few Arab scouts only were left, three
miles oft’, to watch the movements. Thoro
has been no sign of the onumy since.
Dispatches from Korti say it is ex
pected there that the attacks on General
Duller will be renewed. Tho Soudaneao
around Abu Klea woro the mahdi’s uniform,
showing that the contingent has arrived from
Khartoum. General Buller will bo unable
to resuino his retreat until he obtains addi
tional means of transportation.
General Graham will have eight thousand
troops in Suakim by tbe 9th of Murch. These
will include the Indian contingent.
A telegram from Dublin report! that a ru
mor prevailed in that city to-night, that tho
troop ship Lydian Monarch, from Kings
town tor Suakim, had fouuderod
in St. George’s channel. There is intense ex
citement in Dublin over the report, but no
advices confirmatory of tho rumor bavo
fc gales in Scotland aud
Ireland within the past fewdays. Tho steam
ers havo been detaioed from sailing, and great
damage has been done along the coast. Nu
merous losses of life arc roported.
The News In Ragland.
A document is published here, which pur
ports to have been written by an emissary of
the mahdi, who resides in England. It says
in effect that tho idea of peace
is agreeable to the mahdi, provided
it will be of advantage to tho Mussulmans.
Tbe nmbdi considers himself bound to follow
in tho footsteps of Mohamet, who had fre
quently made treaties of peace with Christians
snd other infidels. Tho document warns
England not to compel a general Moslem
rising, thus opening the gates to a flood which
would overwhelm tho human race.
London, February 10.—It is announced that,
in view of tbe tact that the fall of Khartoum
snd tho death ot Gordon have rcuderod tho
main nbiect of Lord Wolseley’s expedition -
impossible, tbe gogerument haa deemed it ex
pedient to change the whole plan of campaign
in the Botidan.
It is probable that Wolseley may evacuate
Korti and retire to Debbeh, where the desert
route* from Omdurman, El Obeid and Darfour
convcro on the Nile. Wolseley will there
await help from England. At Korti the gen
eral could be surrounded. In the retirement
all tbe available supplies will
be swept up, and the whole
army, entrenched at Debbeh. could hold its
own if necessary, until the rising of tho Nile.
The first battalion of the Coldstream
Guards, 846 in number, started to-day for
uuuuB, otw m uuui tier, aiuiKni i’/r
Suakim. They left Wellington barracks
among pathetic scenes ot leave taking. The
relatives and friends bad assembled in force.
The duke of Cambridge, to-day, inspected
tbe Guards as the latter were leaving for Sua
kim. Tbe duke, in an address to the Guards,
reminded them that their discipline was of a
high order, and England would expect a good
report of their services in the field. He hoped
notwithstanding the severe trials attendant on
the campaign in Egypt tbe Guards would re
member their duty to their country and do it
nobly. The princess of Wales snd her daugh
ters were present at the review. Large crowds
of people collected te give tbe Guards a part
ing cheer.
Colonel Sir Red vers Bailor’s retreat from
Gubat, before the approach of El Mahdi and
his army will, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
change the whole plan of the 8oudan cam
paign. Tbe next movement of the British
forces must now, tho Gazette thinks, dspend
on tbe ection of El Mahdi. All but purely
defective operations will, according to the Ga
zette, be abandoned along the Nile.
Tbe leading liberals have expressed the
opinion that Gladstone will cease to be premier
within three weeks. His doctor has warned
him thst he must choose between the sacrifice
of bis life snd the sacrifice of his otfice.
It is noticed that tbe quantity of amraunf-
ufartore and preparation
for transportation to Egypt, is greater tuaa
the quantity sent out ol the ountry duriog
the entire period of tbe Crimean war. This
tact induces tne belief that the goverurnrnt is
preparing tor a long campaign.
Tbe Debate by the Lords.
London, February 19.—Parliament opened
at four o’clock this evening. Tbtrt was no
crowd in attendance to witness the opening
ceremonies. The police allowed no person to
pats the gates unless that person was able to
show that he bad a right to enter. Mr. Glad
stone, upon entering the house of commons,
was loudly cheered.
In the house of lords the government was at
once assailed by tho conservatives with a
bombardment of questions concerning its iutsn-
t ons in tho Soudan. Earl Granville, nrn-
tster for foreign affairs, replied to
these various interrogatories in behalf oi the
government. He frankly stated that
the government had left it entirely to General
Wolseley to decide whether tho British forces
should proceed to attack Khartoum at once,
or delay the attack until later, say sometime
next autumn.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to cortain interrog
atories about tho government's conduct in
Egypt, replied in much tho same tone as that
used by Earl Granvillo in the house of lords.
He added, however, that the present situation
did not allow the government to make over
tures to El Mahdi, because such overtures
might deteat their own object.
air. Gladstone said:
toum altered, lu a military sense, tho whole situ
ation In the 8oudan. Lord Wolseley is authorized
to take such measures as he sees (It to overthrow
the mahdi at Khartoum. No further communica
tions will be trade to tho mahdi, but auy received
from him will be considered.
Sir Btaflord Northcoto gave notice that
he would move on the earliest
further off than next Monday, that
huniblo address bo presented to hor
majesty, tho queen, representing that
tho course pursued by her
present liberal government in regard to Egypt
and tho Soudan, had involved a great sacrifice
of valuable lives and hoavy expeusos, without
any beneficial results (cheers), rondoring it
imrnritively necessary to the interests of the
British empire and the Egyptian people that
the government should distinctly recognizo
and take decided measures to fulfill tho re
sponsibility now incumbent upon thorn, to
insure good stable government in Egypt, aud
in thoso portions of the Soudan necessary for
Gladstone, replying to the fequeat from
Sir Stafford Northcoto, said ho would name
Monday for tho discussion of the proposed
vote of censure.
Other Foreign News.
London, February 16.—Groat excitement
was occasioned hero to-day by tho riotous con
duct ot a large number of unemployed work*
men. Three thousand of them paraded tho
streets with banners bearing mottoes ot their
greivances. Several bands of music accom •
panied the procession, which marchod to the
building occupied by tho local
government board. Tho committee from tho
ranks entered tho office and demanded rsliof
for tho people they represented. They wanted
immediate employment ou the construction ot
municipal works, which, thoy said, woro
needed for the public good. Tho officials of
tho board repulsed tho committee, and tho
crowd became a howling mob. Tho police at
tempted to interfere, but woro soon overpow
ered. Tho mob then advaticcd to Downing
street, and stopped in front of the official resi
dence of Mr. Gladstono. Thoy howled and
hissed invectives against tho government. A
cabinet council was being held at tho
time, and tho mob attempted
to force their way into tho room whoro
council was sitting. Tho polico at this point
received reinforcements and ojocted tho in
truders. Tho mob then attempted to storm
the admiralty and home ofUccs, but were
driven oft ana finally dispersed by tho police.
