that on the way front tlmo battle field he
counted 150 wended survivors of thoon

hearing the firing , Hicks'Pasha came tip
with the whole foroe'ahd formed nhollow
square. Mahdi brought up fresh regu
tars , who supposed they were soldiers
captured when Elobied foil , and who
agreed to take service under Mahdi.
These numbered 5,000 , The square of
hicks Pasha's man was then broken ,
and life' army was annihilated
The Enx dsh officers who were with
the Egyptian army fought gallantly.
The European who escaped is thought to
be O'Donovan or Frank l lzatully of The
London Graphic. Hicks Pasha had 1,000
soldiers and 2,000 camp followers , The
Arabs numbered 200,000.
Another report of tine fight says Meh

Four thousand soldiers are now scattered

There are altogether from 16,000 to 20-
