A DECISIVE BATILE. . : " ¥ : - Anglo- Egyptian Army Captures : Mahdist Stronghold. Annihilates Dervish Army and Drives .the Remnant Into the Desert ' =A Fatal Blow Dealt to & Mahdism. Londoxn, Sept. s—The war office has received the following: S “Omdurman, Opposite Khartoum, On-the-Nile, Nubia, Sept. 2, by Camel Post to Nasri.—The sirdar, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the khalifa’s black standard, captured during the battle entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdiam, at four o’clock this afternoon at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column, after completely routing the Dervishes and dealing a death blow to mahdism. Roughly, our losses ‘were 200, while thousands of the dervishes were killed or wounded. Kar] Neufeld was rescued unharmed. . 3 “Last night the Anglo-Egyptian army encamped at Agaiza, eight miles from Omdurman. The Dervishes were three miles distant. At dawn to-day our cavalry, patrolling toward Omdurman, discovered the enemy advancing to the attack in battle array, chanting war songs. Their front consistedofinfantry and cavalry, stretched out for three or four miles. Countless banners fluttered oveér their masses, and the copper and brass drums resounded through the serried ranks of the savage warriors, who advanced unwaveringly, with all their cold-time ardor.

‘“‘Our infantry formed up outside the camp. On the left were the First battalion Northumberland. fusileers, the Second battalion Lancashire fusileers and the First battalion grenadier guards, with the Maxim battery, manned by the Royal Irish fusileers. -In our center were the First battalion Warwickshire regiment, the First battalion. Cameron highlanders and the First battalion Lincolnshire regiment, with Maxims worked by a detachment of the Royal artillery, under Maj. William. On our right were the Soudanese brigades, commanded by Gen. Maxwell and Gen. McDonald. The Egyptian brigades held the reserves, and both flanks were supported by the -Maxim-Nordenfeldt batteries. : ‘At 7:20 a. m. the enemy crowded the ridges above the camp and advanced steadily in enveloping formation. At 7:40 our artillery opened fire, which was answered by the Dervish riflemen. Their attack developed on our left, and in accordance with their traditional tactics they swept down the hillside with the design of rushing our flank. But the withering fire maintained for 15 minutes by all our line frustrated the attempt, and the dervishes balked and swept toward our center, upon which they concentrated a fierce attack. A large force of horsemen, trying to face a continuous hail of bullets from the Cameron highlanders, the Lincolnshire regiment and the Soudanese, was literally swept away, leading to the withdrawal of the entire body, whose dead stréwed the field. .

**Among the) chief incidents of the battle was a brilliant charge by the Twenty-first lancers under Lieut. Col. Martin. Galloping down pn a detached body of the enemy, they found the Dervish swordsmen massed pehind, and were forced to charge-home jhagainst appalling odds. The lancers hack through the mass, rallied and kept the Pervish horde at bay. Lieut. Grenfell, nephew of Gen. Sir Francis Grenfell, was Killed ; four other officers.were wounded, 21f men were Kkilled and 20 wounded. i © “When the Pervishes withdrew behind the ridge in fgont of their.camp, the whole force marched in echelon of battaligns toward Omdurman. As our troops surmounted the prest adjoining the Nile, the Soudanese onj our right came into contact with the enerhy, who had reformed under cover of a rocky eminence and had massed beneath the bjack standard of the khalifa, in order to mjake a. supreme effort to retrieve the ‘fortunes of the day. A mass, 15,000 strong, pore down on the Soudanese. Gen. Kitchenler swung round the center .and left of the Soudanese and seized the rocky eminernjce, and the Egyptians hitherto in reserve, joined the firing line in ten minutes, and{ before the Dervishes could drive their aftack home. : “The flower of the khalifa’s army was caught in al depression, and within a zone of withering cross fire from three brigades, . with " the attendant .artillery. The devoted mahdists strove heroically to make headwhy, but every ' rush was stopped, whije their main body was literally mown jdown by a sustained deadly cross fire.. Ddfiantly the Dervishes planted their standatds and died beside them. Their dense jmasses gradually melted to companies and the companies to driblets beneath the {leaden hail. Finally they broke and fled, leaving the field white with jibbah-clad cprpses, like a snow-drift dot‘ted meadows| At 11:15 the sirdar ordered “an advance, and, our whole force in line, drove the scattered remnant of the foe into | the desert, ¢ur .cavalry cutting off their retreat to Omhdurman. -“The heroi¢ bravery of the Dervishes evoked univgrsal admiration. Time after time their dispersed and broken forces reformed and -hurled themselves upon the Anglo-Egyptjans, their emirs conspicuously leading and spurning death.

REVISION CERTAIN. French Cabinet Almost Sure to Reopen Dreyfus Case—Minister of ' War Cavaignac Resigns, Paris, Sept. 5.—M. 'avaignae; minister for war, has resighed. The resignation is due to a disagreement with his colleagues; who desirg a revision of the Dreyfus case. The fgllowing is the ketter sent to M. Brisgon, premier and president of the coungil. : “I 'have®the honor tq send you and beg you to transmit to thHe president of the republic my resignation as minister of .war. There exists a disagreement between us which, being prolonged, would paralyze the government at a (time when it most needs full unity of decision. “I remain convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and as determin€d as heretofore to combat a revision of [the case. I do not intend to shirk the regponsibilities of the present situation,’ buf I cannot assume them without being [n accord with the chief of the government to which I have tue honor to belong.” The public feeling|is runming, if possible, even higher. Day by-day the tide in favor of revision|is setting strong. The resignation of M. Cavaignac seems to make revision assured. A certain feeling of impatience that no decisive step has yct been taken is noticeable. Such a complete upheaval of the Dreyfus case has been made by M. Henry’s confession that this was probably inevitablee. M. Cavaignac’s arrest of ‘Henry came like a [thunderbolt, bat when the public had recovered from the first shock /it naturally expected the government to go forward on the only honorable path—namely, revision of the Dreyfus case. | : .

lic education, and Fen.Zurlinden. The cabinet will meet |to-day expressly to deal with a request from Mme. Dreyfus for a revision|of the proceedings of the court-martjal that condemned her husband. i : As the cabinet [is now practically unanimously in favor of revision—partly because theLministers are aware that there is no other method of satisfying public feeling—the outcome of the meeting is almost a foregone conclusion. It is not thought that M. Cavaignac’s retir¢ment will involve the resignation of other ministers. The fact that Gen| Zurlinden has been in conference Witf‘ M. Faure is taken to mean that he will succeed M. Cavaignac at the wa office. . According to Le| Soir, M. Faure, who received M. Cavaignac¢ Sunday, strong1y urged him to withdraw his resignatiom. The . paper |also asserts that at ' the council to-daly the president will endeavor to prevent a decision in favor of revision. ! In her letter to/M. Sarrien, the minister of justice, Mme.
