” : THE DAILY EXAMINER. THE EXAMINER. DAILY SEPTEMBER 15, 1882 Cairo Captured. Just before going t the news British have entered press, has come that the fand over more burning sands: Cairo. The rapidity of the forced | marches will be noted in the hiss tory of military movements. A Man of Metal. Wotsetey. the hero of the hour, de serves the lavish praise bestowed upon him by the press of the world. A man, popular with his men, but not so popular | among the sinecurists ana the red-tape| sticklers of the Home Office, he emerges once more from a critical position, laurelled with the fame of success. His eareer has been an eventful one, and fortune has followed his many military | movemenfs. The Geveral is the son of Major G.J Wolseley, of the Twenty- fifth regiment of foot, was born at | Golden Bridge House, near Dublin, June | 4, 1833, and entered the army as ensign in 1852. He first saw service, says the Lendon Times, in the Burmese war of 1852-3, after which he distinguished | himself in the Crimea, aod was severely | wounded before Sebastopol, He gained distiuction also iv the lodian mutiny and Chinese wars. As deputy quartermaster general in Canada he commanded the Red River expedition, and subsequently | in 1875, was sent out to direct the oper- | ations agaiust the Ashaptee tribes. For | his services there he received the| thanks of Parliament. The next occasion | on which Sir Garnet saw active service | was in 1879, when he conducted the} operations against Secccoeni, whose | stronghold he destroyed, Sir Garnet, | besides his military employment, nes} held civil posts under the Colonial Office. | In 1874 he was despatched to Natal to} administer the government of that colony ; | in 1876 was appointed a member of the! Council of India and in 1878 the Ad-} ministrator of the Island of Cyprus. In| 1879 Sir Garnet went out as High Com- | missioner of the Transvaal and Natal, | and reorganized the affuirs of Zululand. | Comiog home in 1880 he was appointed | quartermaster general of the Horse| Guards and lately succeeded Sir Charles | Ellis as Adjutant General of the army, His command to the forces in Egypt was hailed with acclamation. His brilliant victory will add lustre to his bright re- putation, and will gain for him the} applause and honor of a grateful pation. | Editorial Echoes. | —The St. John papers seem so de-| termined to be on opposite sides that) they can’t even agree on time. The| Telegraph said that Monday last was| the 10th of September, and the Su»: said | it was the llth. In Charlottetown, and in a good many other parts of the world, Morday was the llth, bat we are now not sure as to St. Joba, as the Scott Act | > >> a 6S > the The ‘Troubles Bucountered Be- tween Alexand: a and Cairo. Some idea of the tz and the obstacles: to les to be encured, » overcome by the men fiehtin in Egypt may be formed from perusing ‘he letters wricten by soldiers who have gone through an Egyv- tian campaign. Many of the extracts here viven are from letters intercepted by Nel- son's crnisers. A letter written on the 14th August, 1798, by Adjutant-General Lacuee to his uncle in Paris, describes:— ‘‘ Forced marches in the desert under a burning sun Our want of water for five days, of bread» fiir: fifteen and of wine during three months. Our being continually under arms, exposed to a treacherous dew (?) which blinded all those who were not aware of it, (possibly the same lunar opthalmis which the French suffered from in Malta)—‘‘ all this is infin gallant itely more terrible than battles and sieges. The Bedouin Arabs, now our only enenties in this country, are absolutely indescrib- able. Never were hussars engaged in so severe a service, no one even in our first Italian campaign One Pistre writes, August lo? to a relative at Lyons, ‘‘of the dreadful tirst march of forty miles of desert vetween Alexandria and Caire. +n The Bedouins, a kind of Banditti on hovse ' back, who cut the throats of all who, ex- hausted by thirst, could not keep up with main body. Writing from Cairo, which Napoleon’s troops entered in July 82 years ago, he contmues:—‘‘The major part of the army suffers from diarrhoea; and although victorious, we shall terminate our career by perishing miserably. Many ofticers are resigning their commissions.” Quartermaster Dezirad tells ‘‘the citoyenne Adeline,” of Marseilles, on the 17th August that ‘tvast nambers of volunteers dropped down dead at our feet from mere exhaus- tion under a sun which sets the very ground on fire. In five or six days—I speak with- out eXaggeration -we lost 600 or 700 men from thirst alone. After arriving at Cairo despondency was never at such a height before. We have had several soldiers who blew out their brains in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief, exclaiming, ‘* Voila ton ouyrage!’” With the weapons of to- day. however, a very different account of the Bedouins would be given, and there is po probability that any Eoglish soldiers en gaged in Egypt witl have to send home such dismal stories as that of M. Pistre: meme 6 Bravo, Highlanders ! The important part. that the Highland Regiment took in the last hattle, makes anything connected with the history of the Regiment interesting. The Regiment has been in Egypt before. Its appearance there will doubtless be as great a surprise to the Bedouins of Arabi Pasha as to their grand- fathers in 1798. When the Highlanders of Sir Ralph Abercomby’s army landed at Alexandria in that year, the Arabs of the town, after a wondering survey of the stalwart Celts, ran to announce to their friends the arrival of a host of giants so huge that the clothes which they wore were all too shurt for them. In the Sepoy mutiny of 1857 the Highland regiments did priceless service both ‘at Lucknow and Cawnpore, storming on one occasion a high-walled garden defended by five times their number of Sepoys, and annihilating the whole garrison.. When Nana Sahib’s soldiers first caught sight of the plaids and kilts they exclaimed joyfully that all the English soldiers must have been killed, and that the Sikar (government) had to call out the women. But after their first taste of a TELEGRAPHIC 'day’s success at Tel-el-Kebir) practically was defeated there, and Sunday and| Highland bayonet charge they abandoned Monday might have got mixed—by the Telegraph folks at least, as they were somewhat at sea on the subject of the Act. We shall take it for granted, however, that the Sun is correct as to the date in St. John, as it is right every time on the Nationa) Policy, Syndicate, the settlement of the North-west, and other important questions affecting the Dominion. —The artillery department is likewise being changed. It now consists entirely of stell, bronze being wholly discarded. | Krupp has been reaping a harvest from Russia, but now the couvtry is able to fully supply its own implements of war. -—The late manceuvres were the occa- sicn of making a display of the new im- provements, and were evidently carried on for the purpose of arousing some of the old military fire Which now lies dor- mant in the Russian breast. + CT The Ciimate of the Nile Delta. The military operations in Egypt have recently invested the climate of the Nile delta with so much interest that the re- sults of a seven years’ series of observa- tions made under the auspices of the Aus. trian Meteorological Society in that region have been published in England. It ap- peors from these reliable data that the hottest weather of the year occurs in the Nile delta at the end of September and in the first half of October, so that Sir Gar- net Wolseley’s troops have yet to pass through the most trying climatic ordeal of the campaign. At Alexandria the highest recorded temperature is 103 degrees, but at Cairo the maximum exceeds 116, and the daily alternations of heat. which, per- haps, most severely test the health of an army,are also considerably greater. ‘“Though the coast of the Nile delta receives a few winter showers,” says Keith Johns ton, *‘ there is only an average of thir- teen rainy days in the year at Cairo, in the | apex of the delta.” The Austrian 1aeteoro- | logical series shows that the average rain- | fall, while nothing at all in the three summer months, is scarcely a; preciable in September even at Alexandria. It is, of course, useless for Arabi Bey to hope for any serious discomtiture of the British army by exposure to the severe autumn climate of Egypt. But, as the maximum rise of the Nile generally occurs in October at Cairo, and the British troops will increas- ingly suffer until then from the terribie heat, the decisive operations of the cam- aign may be considerably delayed. The ‘ussian army in its advance toward Khiva in the campaign of 1839-40, experienced Vicissitudes of temyerature from a hea. of over 100 degrees to a cold of 45 degrees below zero, aud Khiva owed its safety to the climate of the neighboring deserts. But the present case is very different, and the issue in the Nile Valley must be detided | T | this belief once for all, and fell back upon | the theory that these terrible fighters had | adopted this female garb in order te remind | them of the wrong which they came to re- venge, viz., the massacre of thé English ladies by Nana Sahib. oe a - Wolsely on the Indian Regiments. Four years ago Sir Garnet had formed a good opinion concerming-the Indian Regi- ments. The following was written by him at that time :—*‘Since the invasion of Russia by Napoleon, we have been accustomed to hear a good deal of the Cossack troops, and of the advantages possessed by any army well provided with them. We saw them in the Crimea, and all who know our Indian Cavalry infinitely prefer the latter. They are more intelligent, are better armed, and in every way better men, mounted on much better horses. Should we ever be engaged in any great European war, we could easily send 10,000 of them from India, which, added to the 6,000 British sabres we ‘could put in the field, would form a very imposing Cavalry force. The native Infantry we could draw from India would be practically anlimited innumber, No European troops are stich good marchers, and all who have learned, from personal experience with them in action, to appreciate their fighting value, will agree with me in thinking that our recent discovery of how willing, nay anxious, our Indian army is to fight in this hemisphere, will enable England to re- oceupy the military position she held in the estimation of the world at the beginning of this century.” +> oe-4 Special Notices.

Honor to Wolseley, Special Despatch to the Examiner, Lonpoy, Sept. 14. The opinion stated here, 18 that yester- ends the campaiga. The movement is considered to have been a masterly one, aud will completely frustrate the Egyptian designs of making anything like aformid- able stand, ; Arabi’s papers were captured and the information gleaned from them show the hopelessness of pretracting the struggle. These papers are of great importance. Many of the Egyptians captured at Tel- e!-Kebir allege that there will be terrible times in Egypt, if Arabi ws completely ; con- quered, Arabi had threatened, ty case of defeat, to carry on a war of rapine and de- vastation, in the hopes: of driving out the strangers by this novel mode of warfare. News has been received that hundreds of fugitives are still surrendering to the Brit- ish, and now the whole force séeiis 80 com- pletely paralysed that it is possible that there will soon be an end to the whole affair. The losses to the enemy are now con- sidered to be mach heavier than expected. The correct list cannot yet be given. So far it is gathered that the British casuali- ties amount to not more than about one hundred and fifty, including 30 killed and the loss of eight officers. The Indian cavalry are now at Zagazig, aud the British forces have pushéd forwara road leading to Cairo. ‘ The London 7 imes and the press of New York are loud and lavish in their praises of Wolseley and the British fortes. . Gzar’s Coronation Postponed. 1 Indications. Revolutionary Special Dispatch to the Kwxaminer. Sr. Pererssure, Sept. 14. The coronation of the Czar has been defi- nitely postponed till next year, in conse- quence of the discovery, by the Moscow police, of revolutionary indications. The postponement causes great discontent, and the papers are irritated at the prominence given to the indications. . _—_—— — —r —- - -- Our Second Telegram. Reported Capture of Arabi, Negotiations of Surrender, A FORCED MARCH TO CAIRO. ENGLISH ENTERING CAIRO. Special to the Examiner. ‘ Lonpon, Sept. 14. General Wood telegraphs the War Office from Alexandria as follows :—An officer from Kafre-el-Dwar has brought a letter saying that all the military chiefs wish to sabmit to the Khedive. Toulder Pasha has sent a flag of truce offering to surrender. A deputation from Cairo is at Kafre-el-Dwar waiting to come in. The natives will likely deliver fup Arabi to the British. A despatch from Alexandria says Arabi’s officers haye written, offering to surrender. LATER. A rebel officer has arrived at Ramleh, with a letter, offering to surrender the troops. Lonpon, Sept. 14. Tne Times’ despatch says the: enemy} earthworks Were insufficient to check the advance of our troops, The Times Alexandria correspondent says as soon as the English troops reached the enemy’s entrenchments Arabi got on a train and ordered it to steam off the scene. The Veleqraph’s correspondent says our loss is one hundred and fifty, including, thirty killed, eight otticers. All of ‘arabia papers were seized here. The Times warm- ly praises Gen. Wolseley... Gen. Wolseley telegraphed that sixty guns were captured. He says Arabi is at Cairo.
