Graham marched ’ ’ amile beyond Fort Baker yesterday, the rebels constantly skirmishing with his advance guard during the morning. Sud- | force of rebels, who were con- | shrubs in sandy knolls, sd a heavy tire on the British tro ‘ps, who hail biv on the field, thoroughly drenched by the tropical rain. Geaham immediately ordered hia troops to aeniy a iarfyge i ed aong the Uven eu Gen. form an oblong square, which had hardly | been done when the rebels advanced, | under a heavy fire, which did | little damage, but before’ reaching | within pistol shot range of the British line they whee ¢ | adout al i retreated G Graham immediately crdered an ad vance on the rebels position in the knolls. The rebels then gave battle and fought with tremendous bravery, but were beaten on all | sides—the fi‘ing of the British troops tell. | ing fearfully on the enemy. The rebels stubbornly contested every inch of groind and a frightful slanghter in the ranks ensved. The battle being very similar to the battle of Ulundi, South Africa, and the British victory as complete as that affair. The battle iasted all day, the rebels finally retreating in disorder, leaving 1,000 men killed and wounded on the field. The British loss was only ten killed and forty wounded. The forces under General Gra- ham bivouacked during the night at Teb, They have re-taken a large amount of baggage captured by the rebels from the expedition under Baker Pasha, together with four Krupp guns and a large number of small arins. It is General Graham’s intention to march on Tokar to-day, when it is expected the fighting will be renewel as the fortifications in that city will enable the rebela to offer a determined resistance. The enemy showed great courage during the fight, and when the British troops moved upon their position, they refused to run, buat fought tv the death until finally com- pelled to give way to the superior military discipline of the British troops. FURTBER PARTICULARS. Svuaxkry, March 2. The British troops entered Tokar at noon on Saturday. A few shots were exchanged with the enemy, when 4,000 rebels holding the town fled. Osman Digna is encamped eight miles distant from Suakin. The battle with hin is expected when the British troops return to Saekin. All re. ports commend the steadiness with which the British troops moved oc; feb. The square in which they adyanced to battle was never broken. | The determination and bravery of the rebels were shown in the fact that when thby were charged by the cavalry, great numbers threw themselves upon their backs on the groundjand speared the horses of the troops as they dashed over them. The march to Tokar was accomplished in four hours from Teb. The Hussars scoured the country ahd kept up a desult- ory skirmishing with the enemy, who retired in disorganized magses in the direc- tion of Tamapiel. The rebels lost 1,100 men dead on the field at Teb, besides guns and munitions. Their whole camp, in- cluding 377 tents and many camels were also taken. The condition of the camp showed that the Arabs had relied upon being victorious. Gen. Graham will send part of the Tokar garrison to Tuakit, and will destroy the fortifications, he will then march to Tamanieb, where he will convoke the sheiks of friendly tribes. Baker Pacha ameng the Weunded. Suakry, Feb. 2. the battle Baker Pacha and Admiral Hewitt returned to Trinkitat. The soldiers and sailors stationed there cheered Baker Pasha, who had been so severely wounded that he was unable to walk. The veterans who took part in the battle say they never met more resolute foes. Baker Pasha’s wound is not serious. It is believed Osman Digna’s power has been broken After fA spy who arrived at Suakim on the 28th ult., described Osman Digna’s army more like fiends than men. They showed him the hat.d of a dead man and wanted to know whether it was the hand of a Euro- pean or a Turk, stating that the dead gen- tleman had many gtivess in his pocket They told him they cared nothing for the Egyptian Government. The Mahdi, the true prophet, had written them of his suc- ess over Hicks and others, telling them to yise and join him. This they would do, tor they feared ng guns jf they died the Madi promised them para- dise; if they refused te join him he would come and kill them all, and they would then go straight to hell. The Mahdi would come through Egypt, kill all the Ezyptians, Turks and Christians; would overturn the world and put itright. Other parts of his foree would cross to the Hedjaz and Mecca, would kill the Sultan of Turkey and take In ia--iti fact, all the world Daily Osman Digna assembles them, reads letters received from the Mahdi, exciting the hearers to the wildestfrenzy. They dance, yell and clamor to attack without delay. Zobehr Pacha’s nephew was captured by Usman Digna and imprisoned for two days, and then, after an interview with tjaman, he was released go where he liked. During this interview Osman declared his intention of fighting the Turks to the last, and then, after kill- ing them all, to settle with the Shafah and Novah tribes, who had as yet not joined him. On the same d ty a letter came from 1 Was not British Loss: 10 Killed 40 Wonnd.d and told be might | THE with orders to ke ep up a constant tire and not allow the garrisou to sleep. In all h's orders and movewents Osman Diena shows great skill, and will, ne last. Should he finally suceced heis cei tain to be ruled over al) these districts. Ap example of the bravery of the rebels is cited in advance from Suakim. One day & Spy was discovered outside the camp, lying on the sand. Although only a boy of hiteen years, he fought desperately when “> . ) ) : surrounded, and wounded one man with a| | Spear He was hiwself bayoneted expected to recover. behavior excited the entire foree. When anything, he replied, **let me spear one and His yallant admiration of the Egyptian before I die.” This is a good example of the spirit animating the people. | liow the News wes Received in England.
