Be aMured that these hostilities are far from being Bought for, but we have no option, tor retreat le impossible unless we abandon civil employ ten and tbeii families, which tbe general feeling of troop* is against. I have no advice to give. It we open Seuaar mid clear Blue Nile we will be stroig enough to take Berber that is, if Dongola atill holds out. An for Mabdi, be will not Mend succour here. Not one pound of tbe money you gave me got here ; it was captured at Berber. We want 200.000 sent to Knssala. 'Ibe expenseB of these garrisons tnut be met. Khartoum costs 1.>UO per diem.

Tbe conduct of tbe people and troops has been excellent.

We have queer atone* ae to tbe fall of Berber. Arabs captured tbere all Stewart's llurstr uniform!, sud my medals, etc. It may be bad taste to >ay it, bat if we get out of this give Stewart a K.C.M.O. and ci are tue at nil costs. You will thus save me tbe aisagreeableness of having to retuse, but I bate tboke thiugii. If we get out it u iu answer to prayer, aud not by our might, aud it is a true pleasure to have been here, tbougb painful enough at times. Stewart's journal is copious. 1 only hope it will get down tu you when I end it. Land mines are tbe things for defence iu future ; we have covered tbe works with them, and they have deterred all attacks aud done much execution. Since tbe 30tb March. 184, dale of your Cairo despatch, we have bad no news from yon. bojd Mahomet Osman, of KakiuU, ougnt to be tne route for your deplcbes, aud you ought to give him a preBent of 500, for be saved Kaasala.

What Kae- ala is doing for mooey I do not know. Of course, we only get taxes paid in lead, so you are running a good bill u p here. Tbe troops and people are full of heart ; I can- not say the same tor all Ibe Europeans. The Arabe are in poor heart. I should say that about 2.000 determined men alone keep them iu tbe fiild.

Tbe people here and Arabe laugh over it. I shall uot leave Kbarmum uutil I can put aome one in. If tbe Europeans like to go to tbe Equator I will give tbeui teamen, but I will uot leave tbetie people after all they have goue through. An lor route H, 1 have told you tbat the one from Waily Haifa, along right bank of Nile to Berber, is tbe bent, aud thir, bad not Ber- ber fallen, would have b. c n a picnic. The other route IB from Svubit to Kassals, and Abou Harazon Blue Nile, which would be aafe up to Kassala, but I fear it is too late. We must ti.;iit it oat wiln our means. If bteosed by Uod, we sball succeed . if not His will, BO be it. The m tin thing is to send money to Kassala. Where is Wood ? Kind regards to him aud OensralH Stephtnnon and Graham. Why write in cypher ? It is UHi-luHH, tor Arabs have no interpreter. You say your feeling is to abandon h.iudau ; BO be it, but before you do that you uni't take down Egyptian population, and this tbe Arab* do uoi see. Aooording to all aec luntH, 5,000 men wore massacred at Berber. All is for tbe beat. I will con- conclude by saying tbal we will defend ourselves to the lat ; tint I will not luave Kuanouin ; tbat I will try to persuade all Europeans to escape ; ai.d that I am still Banguiue tbat, by some menus not clear, God will give us an issue. What was tbe result of your negntiotious for open ing road Bnakim to Berber ?

As for Kordofan, I hope aud believe tne Mshdi has bis bands full. I could vacate Seuaar if it was poaaible, bat I do not tbiuk it is, and alho the moral t ffeot of ita evacuation would be fatal to our future fcuooesn, while we have not food to feed tbe refugee people who would ooiue bere. You will see if we open road to Ben&ar from here we out the Arab movvmetit in two by Blue Nile. I repeat I bave no wisb to retain tbi country.
