rHE GUARDS

EN ROUTE,

Lonpon, Feb. 20.

[The third batialion of the Grenadier Guards started for Suakim to-day. Pre-

| vious to embarking they were inspected j}and addressed by the Prince of Wales.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. Lonpvon, Feb. 21. The morning papers comment harshly on Gladstone’s studied silence in regard to Gea. Gordon. WHEN HE DIED.

Kort1, Feb. 20.

The death of Gen. Sir. R. Stewart oc- curred February 16ch at Gakdul Wells, where the wounded were brought from Gubat.

rHE LATEST ACCOUNT, Lonpon, Feb. 20.

A despatch from Korti to the Ttnies, says the latest advices from Khartoum are to the effect that when El Mahdi heard of the re- Kiea Wells, he proclaimed that his own troops hac gained a victory, and announced that the English were destroyed. He paraded British accoutrements such as heimets hoisted on spears. Whenthe prophet made this pro-

clamation the garrison in Khartoum were

| on short allowance, and they believed what

El Mahdi announced. When the enemy's men approached the place, numbers of the disaffected garrison levelled a portion of the wall to admit the enemy.

GATHERING OF THE TRIBES.

El Mahdi has ordered all the tribes on the east bank of the Nile to assemble oppo- site Gubat.

GENERAL BULLER MENACED. General Buller has found it necessary to entrench his troops at Abu Klea Wells, being menaced on all sides by the Mahdi’s men.

Gen. Wolseley will have to send strong reinforcements to assist Gen. Buller in his retreat.

A STRAW SHOWS HOW THE WIND BLOWS.

The quantity of ammunition, ete., being prepared at Woolwich for transport to Egypt, is greater than the quantity sent out during the entire Crimean war. This shows that the Government is preparing for a long campaign.

STEWART'S BURIAL PLACE.

Gen. Stewart will be buried at the en- trance of the valley leading to Gakdul. England can ill-afford to lose this young General.

GEN. BULLER ANNOYED.

A message from Gen, Buller from Abu

Klea says the enemy are keeping up a well

aimed long range fire on Buller's troops entrenched there. Thus far there have

been sixteen casualties. Buller says: ‘‘ 1 am perfectly safe here against an attack of even a large force, but of course this long range firing is annoying.” ssntenacicalliapieninaes The British Commors.

Soupan, Feb. 20,

In the House of Commons this evening, Sir Henry Tyler gave notice that he would move an addition to the vote of censure to the effect that it was incumbent on the | Government to take hold of Khartoum with a view of promoting civilization and com- mand in Central Africa.

Troops have been offered England by five of her colonies.

Insubordination.

Qurenstown, Feb. 20. Thedeparture of the steamship Hanovari- an for Halifax was delayed until 12 30 this afternoon by the insubordination among the Canadian Voyageurs aboard the trans- port which had brought them from Alex- andria.
