FASHODA FALLS

Into Tlis Hands of The French
Forces.
GEN- KITCHENER LOSES
T -
His Race For Territory up The
White Nile Times Critical.
London, Sept. 16.—The Con
stantinople correspondent of The
Daily Mail says-:
“News has been received here
of the occupation of Fashoda, on
tno While Nile, south of Khar
toum, by the French expedition
under Major Marchand, assisted
by 10,000 Abyssinians under
Ras Makonnen, the principal
general of Emperor Menelik.”
The Daily Telegraph’s special
correspondent with the Anglo-
Egyptian forces in the Siudan
telegraphed that he has had an
interview with the captain of
the boat which returned from
Fashoda and that the captain’s
description as the fiig raising
leaves no doubt that it is French.
The captain says the garrison
at Fashoda menaced him and
would have sunk his bowk if they
had possessed a gun. After get
ting out of..the zone of the garri
son's fire the captain landed and
ascertained from natives that
the dervishes at Fashoda had
been attacked by a force of Eu
ropeans and a hundred Senegal
ese soldiers, who defeated the
dervishes, killed 100 and drove
the rest in precipitate flight from
the town,
The Daily Telegraph’s corres
pondent says :
“There is no doubt that this
is the Marchand expedition.”
The dispatch was sent from
Assouan and the captain inter
viewed belonged to the steamer
Tewfikiek, one of the dervish
steamers which surrendered to
Gen. Kitchener on its return
from Fashoda.
The correspondent described
Gen. Kitchener’s effort to pre
vent the news reaching England.
He says :
‘I wired this identical news
a week ago from Omdurman.
“The sirdar flatly refused to
allow any correspondent to ac
company him south of Omdur
man or to go independently. He
compelled us to sell our horses
and camels and then told us
unless we leturned northward
forthwith he could not guaran
tse us transportation.
“Gen. Kitchener has sent
1,800 Soudanese, 200 men of the
Cameron highlanders, two bat
teries of Nordenfeldt mountain
guns and several Maxims on
board the gunboats Sultan and
Sheika. The sirdar accompanies
the force on the steamer Dal.
they have already ar
rived at Fashoda.
The correspondent says also,
detailing an earlier movement,
that the gunboat, Sultan was
sent up the upper Nile to inter
cept a dervish garrison, 2,500
strong, coming to re-enforce the
khalifa. The gunboat found and
engaged the enemy, killing a
thousand and driving the re
mainder back. He adds.
“It is officially announced
that the khalifa is now surround
ed, and must be taken, alive or
dead, within a few days.
ROME GEORGIA,
FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER, 16. 1898.
JEWISH NEW YEAH
Begins at S'lnduwn This
Afternoon.
ALL OF ROM’S HEBREWS
Will Observe The day in Appro
priate Services.
Beginning this afternoon at
sundown the Hebrews of the
city and of the entire world will
begin the celebration of the
Jeuisii new year.
The year 5659, according to
the Jewish calendar, will be
ushered in. According to Biblical
history the first day after the
completion of the creation was
begun in the evening, and that
is the reason the first day of the
Jewish new year comes in at
sundown. The years are num
bered from the creation of the
world.
It is the first day also of the
first month of the new year. The
mouth is Tishri. The day is
known as new year’s day and
also as memorial day. Memorial
services are conducted in mem
ory of the creation of the earth.
In every the world
where there, are any Jews the
new year day is observed and it
is considered with the day of
atonement, which follows ten
days after, one of the most
sacred times of the year.
The day is given over to prayer
and reflection. Religious services
are held in every synagogue of
the world. There is no limit to
the celebration. It is universal.
The Rome colony of Hebrews
will observe the occasion with
fitting services at their house of
worship.
Most of the heads of Rome
Hebrew families are dry goods
merchants and all are peaceful,
law abiding citizens. They will
lay aside all business avocations
and close their stores at sundown
this afternoon and address them
selves in becoming spirit to the
exercises of the services on Sat
urday and Sunday.
There is n© Rabbi in the city
just now, but in the person of
David Esser man, a patriarch
and a son of Israel deeply learn
ed in the religion of the Hebrews
and full of knowledge about the
customs, traditions and legends
of the house of Jacob, the Rome
Jewish colony is fortunate in a
teacher and spiritual leader.
The Hustler-Commercial
wishes for Rome’s Hebrew
colony a happy and prosperous
new year.
