Catro, April 10.—The force of Mah- moud Pasha is completely brokeu up; part of thei are fleeing toward Atbara,

and the others inthe direction of the Nile. The thickness of the brush rendered pur- suit of them Ly the Epyptiaa cavalry and horse battery difficult. The bodies of two thousand deryixhes, including those of twelve important emirs, have been count ed. Notable among the emirs who were slainis Wad Boshara, formerly emir of Dongola. It is believed that one thousand other members of the Mamhounds’s army were killed. Ten gunsand a quantity of rifles were captured. Mahmound says that his army consisted of twelve thousand infantry and four thousand cavalry.

Mabmoud’s zareba rifles pits and en- trenchments are literally full of dead, while the ground outside the zareba, on the south side, is covered with hundreds of bodies.

The most striking feature of the en- gagement was the picturesque storming of

the zareba. General Hunter himeelf, cheering, with helmet in bang, led the Soudanese and Egyptian troops to the! zareba. They lost heavily in the rusb. n recognition of their signal gallantry, the Sirdar, Geveral Sir Herbert Kitchener, provisionally promoted op the field, at the close of the battle, the sergtmajor of each native battallion which crossed the zar~ eba, toa subaltern rank, Major General Gatacre led the British brigade,and accom- panied by Private Croes of the Cameron Highlanders, was the firstto reach the zareba.

Piper Mackenzie of the Seaforth Highlanders beara the marks of six bul- lets, but is practically unwounded. Numbers of officers, among them Col.

The Sidar, after the battle, said to Col. Money, referriag to the steady advance of the Cameron Highlanders under the wither- ing fire of the dervishes: ‘It was one of the finest feats performed for many years. You ought to be proad of such a regiment.’ ‘|

There was an impressive scene when two | British officers and eighteen men were | buried in front of the zareba, where they fell. All the available officers and de- tatchments from the various batta'ions were present. The Soudamese band the Highland pipers played a lament.

The Soudanese truops celebrated the | victory by singing, beating. |
