I.u- London, Sept. 9. -There were no wounded M ahdists left after the battle of Omdurman. Cruel and I bloodthirsty as it may seem, the I wounded almost without excep i ti vn, were massacred by the British land Egyptian soldiers. Massacred is a hard word to use, but it is the only one fitting. Om durinan was not the first battle where this has been dona. Since Gordon’s death it has been the custom, because, as they say, a wounded fanatic is more dangers ous than a well one. Somany British officers and sur geons have In en killed or wound ed while pissing over battlefield of the Soudan, trying to help tht suffering Mahdists, that mercy and pity have g ; ven way to necessary cruelty.

They al ways do it in ihe Soudan for safe ty, but wa shall say nothing about it in onr columns. ” 'lhe Loudon Standard guardedly tells or the slaughter as follows. ' “Some of the Sirdar’s Soudanese were cautuusly makiug theii* way fidd of battle, their duty being <ne which, however hateful it may seem to theoretical humanitarians, warfare against the savage followers of the Khal ifa makes imperative.
