Cabinet Meeting Meld The Jtrltlsh Force la Egypt to lie neioforced from India, the Mediterranean aud England. Lo.ndon, Fib G General Wolse'ey telegraphs from Korti to the war cilice this afterneon that a cornier had arrived from the British camp near Metemueh, who reports that the re-e!s at Mttmre'i hare become defiant since hearing of the fall of Khartoum. The courier also says an attack on Gubat may be looked (or at any moment, as the rebels expect reinforcements from Khartoum. Lord WjI- e ey states thit he will remain quiet pending farther orders from t ie govern men t The Cabinet met at 11 o'clock this moraicg to consider what course is to be taken in regard to the present Egyptian emergency. It was decided to send telegraphic orders to India for a dispatch of Indian troops to uakim, aud meanwhile reinforce the partisan at Scakim by drafts of troops from England and the Mediterranean. The consensus of opinion in the Cabinet is in favor of astroog, active and vigorous policy. The Ministry will sanction any demand of Lord Wo'.seley which will aid in tha defeat of the Mahdi and wi'l secure the release of General Gordon, if alive, or wreak vengeance upon Arabs if slain. The telegraph line between London and Karti is entiie'y occupied with dispatches between the Cabinet and Lord Wolseley. Astcruhment has been Caused by the report that tb Cabinet at Its session to da v considered a dispatch received from L'rd Wolseley asking instructions. In this dispatch Wo'seley informs the Government tbat he will be unable to reich Khartoum in lets time than five weeks, when the hot season will be commenced. He assures the Ministry that he feels confident o! his ability to successfully attack Khartoum and defeat the False Prophet, bnt he says the oprtions neceary to achieve these results will now be difficult and hazardous Report aud Kamori, London, Feb 0 Lord Wolseley telegraphs late this afternoon that he has been informed that Colonel Wilson had one man killed and five wounded while returning down the Nile from Khartoum. A messenger from the Mabdi summoned Colonel Wilson to iurrender, and at the same time state 1 tbat General Gordon was wearing the Mahdl's uniform. It is the general opinion in military circles that General Gordon is dead. A Missing Assistant Secretary. Chicago, Feb. 6. Marquis F. Moe, Assistant Secretary of the Chicago Public Library, is missing, and his accounts are claimed to b short aoy where from "03 to $ 000. The disclosure caused some consternation among the officials of the library, in view of the recent disclosure of thefts 'by Otto Funk, another employe. Later Details-Gordon' Fate Still TJncertaln. Loxpok, Feb. 6. General Wolseley's reply to the dispatch of the Government, giving him carte blanche to operate in the Eocdan, la expected by noon to-morrow. Colonel Wortley waj In c a arge of only one of Colonel Wilson's three stealers, which succeeded in reaching Gubst from Khartoum (two others having been wrecked) furnisher a detailed report of the movements of the exoedition. This shows that the three etearcers have in the romrracd of Colonel Wilson, and rescued Khartoum Janoary 2S. foliowiog the coarse of the White Nile. Oa reaching Khartoum it was foand to be utterly impossible to land troops. Then lolloped a description of tbe filing by the rebe.'s and the return of tbe steamers, as given in yesterday's Associated Tress reports. Continuing, Colonel Wortley eays: "Tha Government horse, of Khartoum, appeared to be wrecked. One man was kil'ed and five wcutded dnring the attack on the iteamsrs. Colonel Wüsois steamer was wrecked four nilfs above the enemy's position, below the bottom of Shubalaka Caarct. The second steamer was wrecked January I'D. We reached Gubat in small boats the same day. That Khartoum fell January 2o is certain. Gecertl Gordon' fate is (till in dcuht The reports In regard to him are conflicting. Tbe general oploion, however, was that he was killed. S jme Bay he il with the Greeks in their church at Khartoum. The fall of Khartoum has dee'ded the Shukriyeh tribes to join El Mahd'', whbh rlates both banks of the Nile under the control of the enemy. The natives greatly fear tha English, aad the advance of General Eaxle'a colnma is awaited with anxiety by them. The natives tay El Mahdi ia bard pressed for sni plies, and that he had great difficult In persuading the Emirs to attack us. A mesffrper from El Mahdi reached Co'onel Wilson January 29. He said General Gor den bad adopted El Mahdi's uniform. Toe eccrlrr brought the following message f.om El Mahdi: KI call upon you to aurrenJer. I thall not write again. Jfyondj not be ccrte Mohammedans I will wips you off t ie face of the earth." The statement is coaermed that Farez Pasha treacherously su-ie terms with El Mahdi, whereby the latter wa enabled to capture Khartoum. General Wolseley eends the following dispatch: 'Talbota codvot reachfd Gnb-u eafelr. The enemy at Metenn.neh is eat'rely inactive since January 23 Toe rebel force there U estimated atb-Ueen 2.0 and 3.tk of whom 250 are horeemen and 50) have rffies. Our rxen are in good neal'h.

General Wolseley wilt make every effjrt

possible to save Gordon if alive. The wildeet rumors are aäjat in London to nfght relative to affairs in the Soudan. It is said by seme that General Gordon was shot daring tbe attack on Khartoum. The latest authentic news from there is that contained in Colonel Wortley 's report The Government continues to monopolize the wires, and e7en Private meesages either way are refased transroifsion. The decision of the Cabinet in gieing "Wolseley carte blanche has caused the liveliest joy everywhere. Grouos of people are gathered in the streets eagerly reading the latest issues of the evening pipers. Lord Woheley Olveu Carte Ulanche. Losdox, Feb. 0 It is understood the Cabinet council to-day decided to give Lord Wolseley Cirte blatce to take any measures he deems necessary for tbe reacue of General Gordon, if alive, and to mike use cf sich military measures a? he deems advisable to regain the grouud lost in the d jadtnbythe lall of Knartoum. Among 'ie alternatives su?eested to General WoteeW are the immediate recapture cf Kh rtoam aad tLie employment, it necessary, of Indian troops to reopen the Berber route. A Clergmau'a htrauge Stor. London, Feb. C Araba seems to have bad something to do with bringing ab ut Gordon's downfall, if the story toll to-day by a prominent clergyman is to be credited. This clergyman publishes a letter in tlie a tjrnoon edition of the Londin G'obe about meeting in this city last November an Egyptian who had been Prefect of Police under Arab'a. The Prefect and preicher became well acquainted. On Christ-nas last they had a long conversation concerning the Egyptian situation. The clergyman expressed tbe Lope that Lord Wolseley would sjon enter Khartoum. At this tbe iVefect langbed and said Geaeral Gordo:; was perfectly safe where he wag. md Wo!eiy wonld not enter Khartoum. Wilfrid B unt.the Prefect continued, was the only living man able to effect for England a peaceful solution of the Souian question. Ei Mahdi had confidence iu him. and would accept him as a mediator. So fr a9 Lcrd Wolseley's expedition wai concerned, the Profeot said. El Mabdi had arranged to alljw it to approach Khartoum without any regular opposition. The Prophet might fight at or near Shendy, but if he did it would be merely for the purpose of tempting Wo!seley en into further and greater risks. On no account, however, wouii El Mahdi fiht a decisive battle until the l!ritish forces were massed in the vicinity of Khartoum. General Gordon, the Prefect ins'sted, was already, at tbe tirxe of the conversation, virtually a Drisoner, Hte so called defence of Khartoum wa3 a mere form, as El Mahdi wa3 not engaged in any attack on the town, because it wai practically in his power, and he coatd take it whenever be pleasf d. Tbe Prophet's plan was to allow Lord Wolseley's army to approach Khartoum; then enter th city and take possession, and then fight Wolseley from that great point of advantage. Tne Prefect always insisted that Gordon would not be killed by El Mahdi. The clergyman say3 he recalls th's al nost prophetic discourse by Araba'a Prefect of Police, epeciaUy a he has ascertained tbat the man while in London wai there as an emissary of El Mahdi. The last woris tbe man said to the clergyman were: ' General Gordon will cot be killed Le Mahdi voua fera payer par le nez pour Gordon." EUROPEAN PRESS OX KU4RT0UU.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

An Exciting Ditcction on the Matter of lea&irj the Rath Houses at Hot Sprieß. Tho Senate Bill Reducing: Pension Agents Fees Deputy Marshal Inveetigiitlon Closed. HOT SPRIXJS OF ARK4NS1S. To Lease or Mot to Lease, la the Question. Special to the Eentlnel. Washington, Feb. C. It seems that a great deal cf interest is being worked up here, in Arkansas audotber parts of tie country over the propoiiiion to lease the Hot Springs for a term of thirty year?. Pertons who have visitei that famous resort for invalids will entertain some anxiety in the matter when t'iey learn of the developments. Tne springs were some years leased to private partibat Lave been kept under tbe .e .eral superVision cf a Government ofllcar. The leases have abiut expired and it Is proposed to issue new onee to the highest responsible bidder. It is contended by many that since the Government owns the property it should manage the bathhouse and give the people the benefit of the healing waters at a cost jnst sufficient to pay the expenses of maintaining the springs Others contend thit private parties will give bttter accommodations at as lew figures, and that the Government can not fatifactcrily cater to the people, and should not attempt it in the ma ter cf running bath-houses. So it goes. Eefore the difference is settled there will be live'y Corgressiocal eparrirjg. Tne citizens of Arkansas are almost solidly acaicst the proposition to place tho catering of the springs in the hands of the Government, and yet tbey ftrrnly eppose the move to lease them lor a lon period, as the bill now before tbe House provides. A letter fits jast been received from a distinguished citizen of the Springe, who has nothing but tbe good of the resort at heart, aud he says cf tte matter: "The Rogers Hot Spring bill to lewe.the springs, bathhouses and hotel sites for a term of thirty years is opposed by every citizen here, except those directly interested in the control. For myself I am decidedly oppcted to any more lease, unless they be tetipcjary. The feeling here is almost univerfal for tbe Government to take charge o! tbe Hot Springs reservation in toto." A bill is inclosed in the letter, which the writer says was approved by th9 citizens at the frprirgs, and which was dratted by the municipal officers, and adopted at a meeting largely attendel by everybody. The bill will be introduced in Congress and its passape urged. It provides for the regulation of the Springs and placing them in direct control of the Government. 1 1 directs that the Secretary of War shall detail an, armye fficer to go to Hot Springs and take charge cf the place. Ha shall take an inventary of the bathhouse propsity, return the invoice to the Sidetary of the Interior and the 1 roperty shall be bought by the Government. Then the barn-houses shall be advertised and leased for a term of frcm one to five yenrs, br tthe lessees shall be required to provide commodious baths at prices ranging from twenty to forty cents eacb; also, free baths for poor people: The famous "mud-hole" bath shall be reserved for the indigent. The ret t j from the bath-bouse are tobe expended in providing additional accommodations, including a granite bath-house, with sections for all prices and free cf cost, so that all may enjoy them, both sexes. Everybody is to be allowed to drink the water free gratis. Generally the b ll locks to the use of the eprincs by jhe common mas-es upon such terms as will enabls everybody to lenefit by them. It makta a monopoly impossible. There can be no "corner." no stealing, no deprivation. A etrocg fibt will b maäe for the measure, and all who visit the ? pringi pre irterested in it.
