BRITISH LOSSES LIGHT.

The Enemy Retreating.

Loxvon, Dec. 20.

J A despatch from Suakim says: ‘‘ The British and Egyptians mide an attack yes- terday upon the rebel position. They stormed the redoubts and trenches, and after a bril- liant engagement, lasting half an hour, drove the enemy into the bush. The rebels are reported to have lost a thousand men killed. The, British loss was slight. The British are encamped in the rebel position. The victory was complete.

A later despatch says that the British ost four men killed and two wounded dur- ing a gallant cavalry charge. The Egyptians and black regiments charged the trenches

men and thirty wounded.

Egyptians. have been 400. SuAKIN, Dec. 20. Before dawn this morning the British man-of-war Starling and an Egyptian st.amer moved up the coast, with orders to cover the rebels at Handoub. At day- break the forts opened fire upon the rebels’ trenches, and the troops advanced to the attack, the black brigade on the right flank aud the cavalry and mounted infantry covering. The Scottish Borderers, the Welsh Regiment and the Egyptian Brigade occupied an embankment between the forts, the British infantry being held in reserve. The forts shelled the trenches, keeping up a terrific fire. The enemy held their ground with intense courage until the black brigade charged the trenches, which fell after half an hour’s hard fighting. The rebels fought with fanatical bravery. Two of the enemy's guns were captured. The naval brigade did splendid work. The Scottish Borderers are now at work en- trenching the rebel position. The enemy are retreating toward Hasheen and Tamar. The British force numbered 4,000. Lonpon, Dec. 19. An official despatch from General Gren- fell, dated Suakim, 11.25 a. m., says ‘‘ The enemy's loss is 400. The Hussars are still pursuing the Arabs. I have sent the man- of-war Starling and all available steamers to Handoub in order to prevent the force from Handoub coming upon us. Suakim, Dec. 20. This evening the Hussars, who followed the fleeing rebels, have returned. They chased the enemy toa point within four miles of Handoub. The enemy is still flying. Osman Digna’s nephew and twelve der- vishes have been captured, al! wounded. Serious complaints are made concerning the quality of the sabres and revolvers fur- nished the troops. Several cavalrymen re- turned with broken sabres, and there were many instances of revolvers becoming clog- ged and rendered useless. Lonpvon, Dec. 20. A despatch to the Times from Suakim says : ‘* Prisoners say they believe ali the mounted gunners were killed. All tell the same story of privation and cruelty at the hands of the Mahdi and Osman Digna. The natives assert that Handoub would fall at the first approach of our troops. The task is an easy one, as there is not the slightest sign of any gathering of the local tribes. The Emin of Trinkitat isa prisoner. He is wounded.”

BRITISH POLITICS. LORD SALISBURY'S SPEECH.

Will Not Surrender Suakim.

Lonpvon, Dec. 20.

Lord Salisbury, in a speech at Scarboro last night, dwelt upon the progress the Liberal-Unionists were making, and re- joiced over the impossibility of their re- uniting with Gladstone’s party. Orders to send reinforcements of troops to the Medi- terranean have been countermanded. Lord Salisbury says the ministry had no intention of entangling the country in a new Soudan expedition, but could not abandon Suakim. The English, Egyptian and Turkish Ministers were unanimously of opinion that Suakim must be abandoned. Salisbury continued: **Aslong as the Khedive desires it we shall maintain the Red Sea ports. We are bound under a promise nade by Gladstone's Government to do sv. A British states- man’s first duty is to prevent foreigners from thinking that every change of Gov- ernment must necessarily mean the changing of our foreign policy. It would be madness to surrender Suakim when we are on the eve of suppressing slavery, because the final struggle with the slave dealers must be fought upon the Red Sea. By the Treaty of Paris we are bound to uphold the integ- rity of the Sultan’s Empire.

To Be Increased. St. Perersavac, Dec. 20,

The number of Russian Coysuls in Per- sia is about to be increased, in order to counteract the effects of the mission of Sir Henry Drummond Wolf, . British Envoy, and it is also understood that a Russian Bank will be established in Teheran.
