OMDURMAN, Opposite Khartoum, on 1
the Nile. Nubia, September 2, by camel
post to Naslr.?The Sldor, General Herbert
Kitchener, with the Khalifa's 1
black standard, captured during the 1
battle yesterday, entered Omdurman,
the capital of Mahdiam, at 4 o'clock this 1
afternoon at the head of the Anglo- (
Egypt/an column, after completly rout- '
Ing the Dervbhes and dealing a death *
blow to Mahdiam.
Roughly our losses were 200, while
thousands of the Dervishes were killed 1
or wounded. j
Last night the Angio-fegypuau wu/ (
encamped at Agalza, eight miles from
Omdurnian. The Dervishes were three *
miles distant. At dawn to-day our cav- j
airy, patrolling toward Omdurman, dlfl- j
covered the enemy advancing to the at- <
tack in battle array, chanting war songs.
Their front consisted of Infantry and !
cavalry, stretched out for three or four t
miles. Countless banners fluttered over 1
their masses ana xne copper aim mBaa
drums resounded through the serried
ranks of the savage warriors, who advanced
unwaveringly with all their oldtime
ardor. Our infantry formed up
outside the camp. On the left were the
firs; battalion Northumberland fusiliers
ad second battalion Lancashire fusiliers
and the first battalion grenadier
guards, with the Maxim battery, manned
by the Royal Irish fusiliers. In our
center were the first battalion "Warwickshire
regiment, the first battalion Cameron
Highlanders and the first battalion
Lincolnshire regiment with Maxim#
worked by a detachment of the Boyal
?" Williams. On
aniun y UIIUC4 ??<? ......
our right were the Soudanese brigades
oommaiided by General Maxwell and
General Macdonald. The Egyptian brigade
held the reserves and both flanks
were supported by the Moxlm-Nordenfelt
batteries.
A Fierce Contest.
At 7:20 a. m. the enemy crowded the
ridges above the camp and advanced
steadily In enveloping formation. At
7:40 our artillery opened fire, which was
antwered by the Dervish riflemen.
Their attack developed on our left;
and In accordance with their traditional
tactics they swept down the hlllelde
with the design of mshlngr our (lank.
But the withering maintained for
fifteen minutes by all our line frustrated
the attempt; and the Dervishes,
balked, swept toward our center, upon
which they concentrated a fierce attack.
A large force of horsemen, trying to face
I hail nt from t<he
Cameron Highlanders, the Lincolnshire
regiment and the Soudanese, was literally
swept away, leading to the withdrawal
of the entire body, whoae dead
itrewed the field.
The bravery of the Dervishes can
hardly be overstated. Those who carried
flagu struggled to within a fow hundred
yards of our fighting line, while
the mounted Emiis absolutely threw
lives away in bold charges.
When the Dervishes withdrew behind
the rldgo In front of their camp tho ^
whole force marched in echelon of bat- (
tallona toward Omdurman. As our
troops surmounted the erect adjoining ?
the Nile, the Soudanese on our right
came into contact with the enemy, i
who had re-formed under cover of the ,
rocky eminence ana had massed be- <
neath the black standard of the Khalifa 1
in order to make a supreme effort to
retrieve the fortunes of the day. A [
mass 15.000 strong bore down on the 1
Boudaneee. 1
H?rirlati0S MfHfrt Away*
General Kitchener swung round the (
center and left of the Soudanese and i
telaed the rocky eminence, and the J
Egyptians, hitherto in reserve, joined
the firing line In ten minute* and before g
the Dervishes could drive their attack
home the flower of the Khalifa's army i
w&scauRht In a depression and within & j
tone of a withering crow-Are from three
brlfadea with the attendant artillery. 1
The devoted Mahdleta strove heroically 1
to make headway but every rush was ]
Btorped, while their main body was literally
mown down by a sustained deadly
crow-Are. i
Defiantly the Dervishes planted their
tandarda and died bealde therr Their
dente masses f?radually melted to companies
and the companies to driblets !
beneath the leaden hall. FInully they 3
broke and fled, leaving the flcld white *
with Tlhbah-clad corpses, like a enow- j
orirt dotted meadow. i
At 11 :is itie sirdar ordered an advance *
nd our whole fore* In line drove the 1
eattered remnant of the foe Into the
d^frt, our cavalry cutting off their retreat
to Omdurman.
Amonjf the chief Incident* of the battle
was a brilliant charge by the Twenty-flr?t
T/anccni under lieutenant Colonel
Martin. Galloping down on a detached
body of the enemy they found
thf I>rvl?h awirAafn?tn maunil h?Wlnd
n<] warn forced to chars? home against I
appalling odd*. The lancers hacked
tnroojfh the muss, rnlll?d ond kept the
J^rvlah h?>rde at bay. Lieutenant <
Greenftll, nephew of Hlr Franda areen- j
fell, waa killed, four other ofllcers were <
wounded, twenty-one men were killed ]
an*! twenty wounded.
The Kgyptiao cavalry were in cloeo j
righting throughout with the Baggara
horsemen. For * short period the enemy
captured end held the gun, but It
tvas brilliantly' retaken.
The heroic bravery of the Dervishes
evoked universal admiration. Time after
time their dispersed and broken
forces re-formed and hurled themselves
upon the Anglo-Egyptians, their emirs
conspicuously leading and spurning
death.
Even when wounded and in death
igonles they raised themselves to Are a
last shot.
Among the wounded Is Colonel
Rhodes, the correspondent of the London
Times and a brother of Cecil
Rhodes.

LONDON, Sept E.?The war correspondent
of the Dally Telegraph, with

"Khalifa Abdullah, with his harem,
ind Ouman Dlgna, his principal gen?ral,
managed to eacape, but Abdullah's
manner and thousands of prisoners are

were about 600.
"Besides Col. Rhodes, another corresjcmdent
was slightly wounded. Mr.

was slain by a shell In Omlurman."
The war correspondent of the Dally
Sews says:
"Our victory was not easily or cheapy

The dervishes displayed remarkable
>ravery to the last. Instead of waiting
'or us in Obdurtnan, where they could
lave made a resistance that would
lave cost us thousands of lives, they
ldvanced to meet us. The sight was ex:raordinary.
Borne 12,000 men In four
jrlpades attempted to rush our Zeriba.
"With desperate gallantry they were
epulsed, suffering huge loss. Our Maxm
guns especially made terrible lanes
in their ranks, end our artillery dealt
havoc In the town, which was full of
vomen. The dervish army of 60.000 is
itterly broken, but we are fully prepartd
to fight them If they wish it."
The Standard's war correspondent
ilso pays a tribute to the magnificent
?urage of the dervishes, but says:
"Fortunately for us. their, leaders
ihowed little or no wisdom In choq&ing
i battle-field. By not occupying theTiIIl
)n our left front the enemy mlssed'hls

Describing the attempt of the BagHira
horsemen to retrieve the day's forunes
by a final charge, the correspond?nt
says:
{'Dashing across the level stretch j>t

WASHINGTON, 8epL 4.?Secretary
Alger, who returned late last night from
New York, after tois Inspection tour i
through Camp Wlkoff at Montauk Point
with President McKlnley and several of
the bureau official? of the war department,
commented to-night i/pon the condition
of the camp and stated the re- <
suits of his visit The secretary said*:
"I feel certain, after a careful examination
of Camp WikofC and a thorough
investigation of it* condition*, that
everything possible Is being done for
the men, both sick and well, who are
retained there. The camp la an admirable
one?the best, I think, I ever saw.
"While the conditions are as good as
oould (reasonably be expected tinder the
circumstances, even better than I ever !
knew them to be in a camp, a shade of '
gloom la cast over the enoampment by
the physical condition of the men. Sickness,
suffering and death mar what .
would otherwise be a magnificent military
picture. These oondltlon* however,
are not the result of the situation
of the camp itself, but ef the terrible
campaign which the troops have Just <
passed. That campaign of Santiago will *
be memorable in the military history 1
of the world. It was wonderful both In <
Its oonduct and In the results accom- <
plished. Few military experts expected ?
when the campaign was Inaugurated 1
that such a success could be achieved in <
so short a time. That success was i
achieved so soon and with a loss com- >
paratlvely so small is due to the energy 1
and ability of General Shatter and his <
commanding officers, and to the dash, J
bravery and splendid fighting qualities <
of the fnen of General Sbafter's corps.
Ohftaclen to b? Orcrromr.
1 talked- yesterday with General
Shatter," continued the eecretary, "and
he discussed some of the obstacles
which .had to be overcome In the Santiago
campaign. Just now he, by the
way, Is suffering from the effects of the
campaign himself. While I chatted
with him his face was. flushed with

Vpca his arrfvai'af Montauk Point he 1

detention expired to-day and he expect- I
ed, upon leaving the detention camp to i

that the campaign must of necessity be 2
one of days rather than of weeks and I
montha 'He had lost nearly all of bis i

his troops and the stores and supplies i
I which the fleet carried. The tremendous 1
rains which set in Immediately after tils
arrival rendered it next to Impossible 1
for either the troops or supplies to be 1
gotten forward. He felt, however, that <
whatever were the difficulties he must <
press forward and if possible end the ]
campaign in the briefest time. The ell- i
cnatlo conditions were such that to lose 1
any time meant the destruction of his t
/v^mmnnA h* ItlnM* and th# COIMMIUMt 1
failure of the expedition. He took no
chances on delay, therefore, but swept
his gallant army upon the Bpanlards
with such Irresistible dash that victory
woa won almost before the Spaniards
themselves realized what they had to
encounter.
Secret off Shafter'a Hncecaa.
"It la perfectly evident now that had
General Shafter waited until hla army
and Its supplies could have been sent
forward with due deliberation, the expedition
against Santiago would have
failed utterly. In a measure It was his
disregard of military conventionalities
that enabled him to carry the campaign
to a brilliantly successful lssu&
"During all the time that the troops
were lying In the trenches before Santiago,

experienced In getting supplies to the
front, the men suffered very little from j

"The President wai particularly mile- t
ltoua ?bout the condition of the men f
who are UL He went to Camp Wlkoff
to ascertain for himself whether the
men In the ranks needed anything that
they were not getting. Hie orders were
that they should want for nothing, but
he desired personally to know whether
these orders were being carried out
After several hours of patient Investigation
he left camp satisfied that the men
were being as well cared for as they
couhl be In a field hospital. He took no
official's word for anything. He had
gone to the camp to see for himself, and
his conviction aa to the conditions was
reached only after he had come In personal
contact with those conditions. In
th? honnltalA he went from ward to
ward, almost from cot to cot, stopping
every few seconds to talk to the sick
men and cheer them with kind expression
of a grasp of the hand. It was an
experience not soon to be forgotten.
Such a visit' an President McKinley
made to Camp Wlkoff yesterday Is almost
unique in military annals. He
went to the camp equipped with knowledge,
Judgment an^ experience to make
sn investigation. He had served in the
camp and in the field himself, and he
knew just what ought to be expected In
the circumstance a. That he was reasonably
well satisfied with the conditions
as he found them Is In itself a
guarantee that they are not far wrong."
A rumor was given some currency
that the camp, having been found by
the Prealdent to be unsuitable for its
purpose, was to be abandoned immediitely.
This Secretary Alger pronounced
to be without foundation. It probably
prew out of the order by the President
that the regulars at Camp Wlkoff, whose
former posts had been east of the Mislissippl
river would proceed as soon as
possible to their old stations. Secretary
Alger said that this order had been decided
upon ten days ago and had no
possible relation to the condition of the
camp.

General Wheeler said to-day that ?
Lieutenant Colonel Mark, of the medcal

profession and would In two or three t
laya be able to give an absolutely au- t
Iwrltatlve decision as to the purity of 2

arater came from the fresh water pond. d
Seneral Wheeler said they were mlsaken.
The water was drawn from

la almoat a foregone conclusion.
It la not thought that M. Cavalgnao's

Zarllnden baa bees In conference
rlth M. Faure la taken to mean that
ie will euoceed M. Cavlgnao at the war
nice.

ave been continued throughout the day
iave had to do with the detail* of re
iston. There Is no foundation for the
eport that the chAmbers will be immediately
convoked.

ecelved M. Cavaignac to-day. strongly
rged him to withdraw hla resignation,

ndeavor to prevent a decision In favor
f revision. On the same authority It
j announced that General Roger, chief
