A conference was held at General Wheeler's headquarters, at which the colonels of the cavalry division were present. Views were exchanged on the question of removal of the troops to a now camp in the South prior to their transportation to Cuba, and all those present were of the opinion that it would be better for their commands to remain at Montauk until the government is ready to ship them to Cuba. The men are now reported to be in as good condition in a general way, as when they left their posts last spring to mobilize for the campaign. General Wheeler will make a report to General Corbin indorsing this view of the case.

SIRDAR HERO OF SUDAN ———■ FROM CAIRO TO KHARTIM WITH GALLANT GEN. KITCHENER. Commander of the ptian Forces Has Set the World to Talking of His Achievement. # New York Herald. There are other wars than ours—wars such as the gallant lads who lay in the trenches before Santiago scarce dreamed of. Our war is over; but even at this moment, in the far off Sudan, a handful of brave Britons are battling in a hand-to-hand encounter with an enemy far more fierce, far more desperate in their fanatacism than the combined armies of Spain. The slogan of our warriors in Cuba was “Remember the Maine.” In the Sudan the cry is “Remember Gordon.” It is a long story, this tale of the Sudan, this tale of a desert waste whose parched lips are continually quenched with human blood, only to dry again in feverish greed for more. It is a story full of horror, full of mysticism and full of such heroism as the civilized world seldom w;ots of. It is a story which blends the savagery of Mohammedanism with the sublimity of British daring, the sort of daring that counts duty paramount to all else in the world, the sort of daring that makes heroes of men and makes history. It is a long story, and one which, in the understanding of it, must necessarily lose much in the course of its condensation. To the Englishman who knows all about it it may be an old story—that is, all but the most recent developments. But to the average American readers of newspapers, in whose columns the foreign news must of necessity be subjected to that process known technically as “boiling down,” the complete story in miniature of the British invasion of the Sudan, culminating just now in a noble victory, must come as a contrast to our own recently ended war, with comparisons which must suggest themselves. And Kitchener! We have been so full of Detvey, and Schley, and Sampson not to mention Hobson and our own lionized Roosevelt, that we really haven’t paid much attention to Kitchener. Some may even ask “W'ho is Kitchener?” And it is with no idea of allowing our own war veterans to suffer by comparison that I announce Kitchener as the greatest general of the present. This is not treason. He has surmounted obstacles in the burning sands of the Sudan such as might drive a kjkafter to distraction. The swamps of Cuba are as nothing compared with the fever infested Nile. Our troops have died by the scores; his have died by the hundreds. And they were natives, most of them. He has built railroads across the desert, for he, like the lamented Gordon, is an engineer. It is no exaggeration to say that lie builds railroads literally “while you v.ait.” And it is interesting to note that there is an American locomotive running ever there. He has mounted his guns on camels, and they constitute his artillery. He has taken his improvised gunboats up seemingly insurmountable rapids. Thousands of black soldiers have literally hauled them through the torrents with stout ropes and chains. No such feat of warfare has ever before been acomplished. He has at his back a mongrel force of fighting men. The officers are young Britt ns who have won their spurs in the Egyptian army. Some of the men are AngloEgyptian soldiers, some are Arabs, and some are black Sudanese, eager to fight and utterly fearless under fire, battling against their own people because they have been brought to realize that in the end there is but one result.

TO AVENGE GORDON. tip the Nile, by land and by water, this intrepid commander has gone with his forces, conquering obstacles that seemed insurmountable, fighting his way inch by inch against bloodthirsty Dervishes and more deadly fevers, gasping for breath and reeking with sweat, with the thermometer at 130 degrees in the shade. Kitchener is this man’s name, this man who is now before Khartum, and who has ever before him, as an incentive to reclaim the honor of his government, the pitifully tragic death of ’ Chinese” Gordon. It is only right, even in this country, which knows no rank, save that designated by shoulder straps, to give him his full title—Sir Horatio Herbert Kitchener, K. C. M. G., sirdar of the Egyptian army, with the local rank of major general. Siroar is equivalent to commander-in-chief, and he is the idol of the English people. He has accomplished more than you probably know, unless you are a Briton, and then, of course, you know all about it. You would be a poor Briton if you didn’t. And he is a young man. is Kitcheneryoung as men go who achieve fame. He is a little past forty-seven now, but he has lived every day of his life. And to him has been intrusted the mission of bringing the Sudan to a realization of British rule. But there is another incentive in this awful campaign, an incentive which involves the avenging of the hero Gordon, and the wiping out of a national stain of dishonor. The Sudan has been aptly termed a “sink of blood.” Black in ignorance, black in crime, black in the hue of its people, the Eastern Sudan has for years defied invasion. The choicest blood in Europe has been poured upon its soil, millions of the treasured wealth of the civilized world have been expended upon it, and it has licked both up without saving a trace, as the arid sands of the Sahara desert would absorb a goblet of water. Under nominal dependence to Egypt, its leaders spit upon the name of the Khedive. Menaced constantly by the arms of England, Turkey, Belgium and France, it has as constantly beaten back its foes, and today it is virtually as independent as it was before the first white man set foot within its borders. No other country has so successfully resisted the march of civilization. But it must yield sooner or later. That is inevitable, and the hopes of civilization are centered in Kitchener and hfs mongrel army of blacks and whites, fighting together, side by side, as though born of the same race. Tommy Atkins has come to have a high regard for “Fuzzy-Wazzy,” as Rudyard Kipling has set forth in one of his inimitable poems. The Sudan is a vague region, according to maps and surveys. It begins somewhere—an indeterminate distance in the middle of the continent—and extends eastward to Abyssinia. Its northern boundary js the Libyan desert. Its southern line is almost as indeterminate as its western. It is vast in. area, resources and population. Its people, black and Arab, are for the most part Mohammedans, though in its depths all sorts of religions are practiced and followed. There are many tribes in its boundaries, and the country is constantly astir over internecine quarrels. Before the advent of the white man each tribe maintained a quasi independence. Now all are united, or, at least, those in the eastern part, by a common cause. . It has been said that the Sudan was under the nominal sway of Egypt. But this country occupies a peculiar position in the world. She is nominally a dependency of Turkey. Asa matter of fact, she is controlled by England, though all the nations of Europe interfere in her affairs. As England holds the trump card in Egypt, however, it is but natural that the little island should play the most conspicuous European part in the drama of the Sudan. HOW IT ALL STARTED. The main trouble arose over the Khedives, who w’ere, to an extent, free agents. Turkish and Circassian merchants were the pioneers among the tradesmen of the Sudan. And it was through their atrocities that the trouble began finally. They cheated, lied, robbed and committed other aggressions until the tribes rose against them and drove them into Egypt proper. It was at this time that Egypt called upon England for aid. And England sent in response a soldier whose memory the whole world loves to honor and revere—Charles George Gordon. In 1874 General Gordon, already distinguished though his services in China, where he had effectually crushed out the Tal-Ping rebellion and returned the tottering Emneror to his throne, was • appointed by the Khedive governor general of the Sudan. Almost from the start he won the affection and confidence of the people whom he had been appointed to govern. With unerring instinct, he discerned the true cause of the troubles, and, co-operat-ing with the natives, drove the Turks from out his territory. His measures of taxation v ere calculated to produce the largest revenues with the least hardship, and he succeeded in restoring peace and order throughout the Eartem Sudan in a marvelously short period. But, faiting to cope successfully with the slavery question, General Gordon resigned in 1877, and the condition of affairs if the Sudan became worse than ever. Mohammed Achmet, of whose curly history

little is known, by one of those singular circumstances that sometimes put men in greater prominence than their fellows, rose at a bound to the leader of the rebels in the Eastern Sudan. He called himself “El Mahdi,’' which, by translation, is “the Reformer,” and preached deliverance from the yoke of oppression to his followers. He appealed to their religious prejudices, declared that he had been sent by heaven to their aid, and in a short time had rallied around him an army whose numbers alone would have made it formidable. But he had not numbers alone to rely upon. His men were armed with rifles of the latest make, which English cupidity had supplied them. There were expert shots among them—Arabs who could kill a flying antelope. Moreover, they were quick to train their eyes over the sights of the guns which they captured in their first assaults upon the fortified camps. Lastly they were fired with religious hate by the Dervishes, who formed no inconsiderable portion of their numbers, and who rushed on death with the frenzy and fearlessness which have always been characteristic of the Mohammedan warriors. Mohammed Achmet entered upon a career of pillage and worse. He seemed to bear a charmed life, and imbued his soldiers with the idea that he was possessed of supernatural powers. Tribe after tribe gave in its allegiance to him, and his control was almost supreme. Egyptian troops which were sent against him w r ere butchered. AN INVINCIBLE FOE. Even the English soldiers were powerless in his path. On Sept. 9. 18S3, Hicks Pacha, a veteran of India and Abyssinia, led a force of ten thousand mixed troops against the Mahdi. He left Khartum resolving to strike across the desert to El Obeid. For weeks nothing was heard of him. Then one day a solitary messenger staggered into Khartum. He brought the intelligence that Hicks Pacha with his entire army, had been surrounded and destroyed. Other expeditions met the same fate. In all the campaigns in England’s proud history, in all the wars that she has ever conducted, she never suffered as many defeats as she did at the hands of Mohammed Achmet, the reformer, son of Abdullah. General Gordon was prevailed upoq to once more take charge of affairs In the Sudan. He was once more appointed governor general, “with full powder to act as he saw fit.” Right where the White and Blue Niles join to form the mighty river famous In history lay Khartum, opposite the ruins of which is now situated Omdurman, the Khalifa’s present capital. When Gordon reached Khartum with a slender force in the spring of 1884 it was garrisoned by about three thousand Egyptian and English soldiers. The siege of Khartum by the Mahdi and the ultimate capture of the city, resulting in the killing of brave Gordon, are too well known to the vrorld to require a retelling at this time. All that is past and gone. Our story has more to do with the present—with Kitchener, to w r hom has been intrusted the tardy avenging of Gordon. Even before he went to Egypt Kitchener had had an eventful career, full of valuable experience. It was, first of all. from his father, a colonel in the British army, that Kitchener inherited hia soldierly instincts, and as soon as he was able \o know his own mind he chose soldiering for his profession. He received his education at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and entered the Royal Engineers as lieutenant in 1871. He left the army after he had been In it three years to join the survey of western Palestine, and after the attack on the party at Safed he returned to London. The roving life of surveying and exploring suited Kitchener admirably, and he went out to the Holy Land on surveying expeditions three times, on the last occasion as sole commander of the expedition for the survey of Galilee. In 1878 the administration of the Island of Cyprus was taken over by Great Britain, and someone was wanted to organize the land courts. Kitchener was chosen to do the arduous work. After that he was appointed vice consul in the parts round about Erzeroum, and after spending some time in this capacity, he returned to Cyprus. explored every nook and cranny of the island and laid down the official map.

READY FOR FIGHTING. But ten years of civil employment had not diminished his military ardor one whit, and, having had enough of surveying, he turned his attention once more toward the army. For some time past Egypt had been more or less in a state of anarchy, and of all its institutions that of tne army was perhaps in the worst condition. When he heard that it was to be reorganized by British officers he volunteered, and his past services were not forgotten. While governor general of the Red sea littoral and commandant at Suakin, he saw active service, and while leading five hundred mixed troops at Handub he was badly wounded and had to go to Cairo for repairs. In Deer mber of the same year (1888) Suakin was besiegtd by the Dervishes and Kitchener, now recovered from his injuries, hurried to the front. He fought all through the campaigi. under the generalship of Sir Francis Grenfell, particularly distinguishing himself at Suakin. Kitchener also commanded a brigade at the action of Gamaizah and again at the battle of Toski, seven miles from the Nile, where sir Francis Grenfell broke the advance of the Dervishes toward Egypt. At Tcski he vas in charge of the cavalry, and for his services was mentioned in the dispatches and made a 0. B. A life of action like Kitchener’s is, of course, crammed full of interesting incident and exciting adventure. His wanderings in Palestine, the Sudan, the Mediterranean, Erzeroum, Africa and elsewhere cannot but have been filled with thrilling episodes. Sir Horatio, however, has all a great man’s modesty and won’t talk of himself, but if he w ould give the rein to lis tongue he could tell stirring stories of his own personal experience such as are not dreamed pf in the wildest flights of fiction. He has been twice shot at by Bedouins, nearly murdered in Palestine and has narrowly escaped being hanged as a spy, besides the ordinary risks incurred in different battles. His delight in finding out for himself the mysteries and wonders of the Orient has led him into many deals of villainy from which escape seemed well nigh impossible. BECAME THE SIRDAR. In 1892 he succeeded Sir Francis Grenfell as sirdar, or commander-in-chief, of the Egyptian army, Ills local rank being lieutenant general. After the fall of Dongola in the summer of 1896 he was made a major general on the British list and a K. U. 8., specially promoted for distinguished service in the field. Since then he has constructed a railway three hundred miles toward Berber. reoccupied that town and the valley of the Nile as far as the Atbara river and has smashed the best troops of the Khalifa. When the expedition lor the relief of Khartum was set on foot Kitchener was chosen for the post of danger. He was sent forward to Debbeh to keep up communication with Gordon, and although he failed to keep in touch it was not due to any laqk of skill or energy on his part, but owing io the stringent and vacillating instructions which he daily received from Cairo, which made all his efforts futile. After the fall of Khartum and the collapse of the expedition Kitchener resigned his commission in the disgraced Egyptian army and returned to London. The authorities recognized that Kitchener had not only done his best, but that Up had shown more skill and courage in his unsuccessful attempt than might have been expected under the circumstances, and he was promoted. Interesting as is the personality of the man who is at the head of those intrepid soldiers, the men themselves are equally interesting, and even more picturesque. Apart from the work of conducting an arduous campaign. Kitchener has practically had to form the army wdth which to do it. Out of the material at hand this was no easy task, but the men who are now under British leadership, marching victoriously, are from the same stock as those who a little over a decade ago. under Hicks Pacha, fed like frightened sheep before the warriors of the Nubian desert and meekly laid their necks below' the sw’ords of the ferocious Dervishes. This truly w’onderful transformation of a cowardly rabble into the splendid fighting force which is now achieving victory all along the Nile is the work of the British officers in Egypt, of whom Kitchener is the guiding spirit. When the British government sent out Sir Evelyn Wood to form an Egyptian army. Kitchener was one of the twenty-four officers selected by Sir Evelyn to assist in the work. The present sirdar was then appointed one of the tw s o majors of cavalry, and he possessed—what no other officer in the cavalry could boast—an extensive knowledge of vulgar Arabic which he had picked up during his wanderings in Syria.

The day was hot—very hot, In fact—and the postmaster at Manila fell asleep In his easy chair before he had read half the postal cards. The noisy brushing aside of the reed curtain shat served for door brought him bank from dreamland with a start. A strapping six-foot native in all the glory of a cretonne sora over a sailor’s cap stood before him, calmly majestic. “W’ant letter!” impressively commanded the dusky caller. “Name, please!” urbanely inquired the postmaster, picking up the thumb-stained package. “Guahano my name!

Suffering l Inevitable. Kansas City Journal. “I’d like to say.” remarked Justice Case yesterday, “that a lot of these people who are kicking about the way our soldiers are being treated don’t know what they are talking about. The equipment of an army is such an immense undertaking that some suffering and mistake cannot be avoided. If it would be any consolation to them they ought to ask some soldier of the war of ISol to 1865 how he was treated. “Our regiment received no pay for a year after we were mustered In and It was almost that long before we were issued uniforms. We were given guns and ammunition but we had to carry the latter In our pockets.
