Civilization in the Soudan.

Loxpox, May 13.—Yesterdav’s news in the Time statestbat over 200 dervishes have surrendered in the Soudan. This empbasizes the fact that the Soudan is rapidly becoming civilized. Lord Lovat, travelling on @ scientific and pleasure ex- pedition through Abyssinia, has reached a point fifty miles from the Egyptian outpost on the Blue Nile, and is waiting for the Sirdar’s authority to get the party through. Ina few days he wij] be on his way to Khartoum. Thus an English pleasnre party can travel through the Soudan where!

only a year ago no Kuropean could pass. }
