Signal Victory For the An glo Egpytian Forces. DERVISHES' BRAVE FIGHT. Rushed to Moot tho Enemy With Dosporato Enorgy. THEIR LOSSES ARE APPALLING. The Correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph Declares That Fifteen Thou sand of the Wild Fighters Were Slain, While the Anglo-Egyptain Loss Was Only Five Hundred Men and Horses Fell Thick Before the Deadly Fire of the Brit ish Still Pursuing the Khalifa and His Chiefs. Omdurman, Opposite Khurtoum, on the Nile, Nuliln, Supt. 2, by camel post to Nasrl. The Sldar, General Sir Her bert Kitchener, Vlth the Khalifa's black standard, captured during; the battle, entered Omdurman at 4 o'clock this ufternoon at tub head of the Anglo Egyptian column after completely rout ing the dervishes ami dealing a deutli blow to Mahdlsm. Uoughly our losses were 200, while thousuiuls of the der vishes were killed or wounded. Last night the Ailglo-Kgyptlan army encamped lit Agalza, eight miles from Omdurman. The dervishes were three miles distant. At (lawn our cuvalry, patrolling toward Omdurman, discov ered the enemy advancing to the attack In battle array, chanting war songs. Their front consisted of infantry und cavalry, stretched out for three or four miles. Countless banneis lluttered over their masses and the copper and brass drums resounded through the serried rankB of the savage warriors, who ad vanced unwuvering with nil their old time ardor. Our Infantry formed up outside the ramp. At 7:20 a. 111. the enemy crowded the ildge3 above the camp and advanc ed Bteadlly In enveloping formation. At 7:30 our artillery opened fire, which was answered by the dervish riflemen. Their attack developed on our left, and In accordance with their traditional tactics they swept down the hillside GKNEUAIj KITCHENER, with the design of rushing our flank. But the withering lire maintained for 15 minutes by all our lino frustrated the attempt, and the dervishes, balked, swept toward our center, upon which they concentrated a llerco attack. A large force of horsemen, trying to face a continuous hall of bullets from tho Cameron highbinders, tlie Llncolnshlrn regiment and the Soudanese, was lit erally swept away, leading to the with drawal of the entire body, whose dead strewed the field. The bravery of tlie dervishes can hardly be overestimated. Those who carried the Hags struggled to within o few hundred yards of our fighting line, while the mounted emirs absolutely threw their lives away In bold charges, When the dervishes withdrew behind the ridge In front of their camp the whole force marched In unttallons to. ward Omdurman. As our troops sur mounted the crest ndjolnlng tho Nile the Soudanese on our right enme Into uouiuci wiin wiu enemy, wno mm re formed under cover of a rocky emi nence, and had massed beneath the black standard of the khalifa, in order to mako a supreme effort to retrieve tho fortunes of tho day. A moss, 15,000 strong, bore down on tho Soudanese. General Kitchener swung round tho center and left of the Soudanese and Belzed the rocky eminence, and the Egyptians, hitherto in reserve, Joined the firing line in ten minutes, and he fore the dervishes could drive ther at tack home. The flower of the khalifa's nrmy was caufht In a depression and within a cone of withering cross lire from three brigades, with the attendant nrtlllery. The devoted Mahdlsts strove heroically to make headway, but every rush was stopped, while their main body was lit erally mowed down by a sustained deadly cross fire. Defiantly tho dervishes planted their standards and died beside them. Their dense masses gradually molted to com panies, and tho companies to driblets, beneath the leaden hall. Finally they broke and fled, leaving tho Held white with Jlbbnh clnd corpses. At 11:15 the sirdar ordered an ad vance, and our whole force In line drove the scattered remnant of the foe Into tho dessert, our cavalry cutting oft their retreat to Omdurman. Among the chief Incidents, of tho bat' tie was a brilliant charge by tho Twen ty-flrst lancors, under Lieutenant Col onel Martin. Onlloplug down on n do tnehed body of the enemy, they found the dervish swordsmen massed behind and were forced to chnrgc home against appalling odds. Tho lancers hacked through the niass, rallied and kept tho dervish horde ut bay. Lieutenant Oren. fell, nephew of General Sir Francis Grenfell, and Captain Caldecott, of tho Warwickshire leglment, were kll'ed and four other officers wounded, Twen-ty-une men were killed und 20 wounded, The Egyptian cuvnlry were In cIobo fighting throughout with tho Bnggnra lioiseiiien. For a short period the en emy captured and held the gun, but It wns billllantly lelnketi. The heroic bravery of the dervishes evoked unlveisnl ndmlrntion. Time after time their dispersed und broken forces reformed and bulled themselves upon tho Anglo-Egyptians, their emirs conspicuously lending and spurning death. Even when wounded and in death ngonles they rnlsed themselves to fire a last shot. Among the wounded Is Colonel Rhodes, the correspondent of the Lon don Times, nnd a brother of Cecil Hhodes. HHNT.ltAL KITCIIKNI'.It'S ItKI'OltT Cuvnlry nnd (lunlioiitH Aro Still Pur Hiituir tlio Kliiitlfit, London, Sept. 6. The war office has received the following dispatch from Genernl Kitchener, dated Saturday evening: "The remnant of the khullfu's force has surrendered, nnd I have now a very large number of pris oners on my hands. Our cavalry and gunboats urc still pursuing the khalifa and Ills chiefs, who, with only about 110 fighting men, are apparently mak ing for Koidofan. "1 visited Khartoum today. The town Is a complete ruin, but tho lower portions show some of the principal houses still standing. The people are natuiully delighted to see us. So far as I can see at piesent Khartoum is the best position. Omdurman Is very extensive, and the stench there Is un bearable." The war correspondent of Tho Dally Telegraph with the Anglo-Egyptian forces says: Khalifa Abdullah, with his lirm, and Ostium Dlgna, his principal gen eral, managed to escape, but Abdullah's banner and thousunds of prisoners ate In our hands. It Is estimated that 15, 000 of the enemy wore slain. Our total casualties weie about 500. liesldes Colonel lthodes, another cor respondent was slightly wounded. Mr. Howard, the New York Herald corre spondent, was sluln by a shell In Om durman. The wur correspondent of The Dally News says: Our vic tory was not easily or cheaply won. The deivish loss wns enormous. It is estimated that tho killed of the enemy were no fewer than 8,000. Our whole force wns engnged in the fighting from 0 a. 111. until sundown. The der vishes displayed marvelous bravery to the last. Instead of waiting for us In Oindurnian, where they could have made a icslstunce that would have cost us thousands of lives, they udvanced to meet us. The sight was extraordin ary. Some lli.Ofift men, In four bilgndes attempted to rush our zeieba. With desperate gallantry they were lepulsed, BUffeilng huge loss. Our Maxim guns especially mnde terrible lanes in their ranks, and our nitlllcry dealt havoc In the town, which was full of women. The deivish army of 00,000 is utterly broken, but we nre fully prepared to light tomorrow If they wish It. The Standard's war correspondent also pays tribute to the mngnlflcent courage of the dervishes, but says: Fortunately for us, their leaders showed little or no wisdom In choosing a battlelleld. I3y not occupying the hill on our left front the enemy missed his opportunity. That would have left the Sirdar two alteinntlves. He might have either uccopted tho challenge or else made a wide detour in the desert to reach Omdurman, Describing tho attempt of the Bag- gara horsemen to retrieve the day's fortunes by a dual charge, the cone spnndent says: "Dashing across the level stretch of pebbly soil, the kliulifn cuvnlry rode madly at tho steady lino of infantry. Our troops awaited the charge without flinching. On came the dervishes, but again the deadly fire poured Into them did Its work. Men and horses fell thick, nnd hardly a rider In that desperate charge escaped. A large body of the enemy's Infantry, un dismayed by the slaughter, could bo seen piepailng to follow the cavalry, but our field artillery and Maxims, responding from tie hill on which they were posted, came again Into action, and the conflict entcied a new phase, "The attack on our cump had been repulsed, and the only auestion was whether the defeat of the enemy was complete. It was not long before tlio dervishes were seen In full flight to wnrd the right, leaving their dead on tho Held as they fled. 1'iactlcally the whole imiir of the khalifa wns de stroyed. Our casualties numter over 200." llmporor William's CongrutiilntloiiM, London, Sept. G.

HERVOUS PROSTRATION FOLLOWS. Two Young Men on a Spree Started the Kow and Hava Been Put Under Ball For Trial at Court-Crsated Much Excitement. There was considerable excitement on West Centre street, near Main street, shortly after nine o'clock Saturday night through the riotous conduct of twu young men namod John Murphy and Jamos Uarklns, who got a pay day jag on board nnd concluded to paint tlio town red. Tho result of their exploit was a light in which a woman was seriously injuicil. According to the statement of witnesses Murphy and Uarklns first picked a quarrel with twu young men whoso names havo not been learned, when standing at tlie Heddall building, corner of Centre street and Pear alley. The unknown men beat a rutroat and then Murphy and llaiklns turned their at tention to Nathan Orceuluuni and a man named 1'roiband, who woro in front of the store at tho corner. According to tlio wit nesses Uarklns said, "Lot's lick and kill the Jew with tho beard." An attack was first made on Frciband. and next on (ircenbaum. The latter's wife. Annie, it appears, held her husband and piovcntcil him from retaliating and in tho fracas she received blows on tlie arm, neck nnd chest. Tho woman fell in a faint on the lloor of the store and lemaiiicd in that con dition until after sho received atteudanco from Dr. Steiu. Moiinwhilo two of tho police and three citizens tackled Murphy and Uarklns and got them Into tho lockup after a hard strugglo. Dr. Stein found Mrs. Greenbaum in prostrated condition and said that it was a case of clean knock out caused, no doubt, by a blow over tho heart. It was some time before the woman could proceed to her homo with assistance To day tho doctor stated that the woman was suffering from nervous prostration, hut that her condition was not dangerous. Last night Murphy and Ilurkins were taken before Justice Toomoy and given a hearing. Thoy had recovered from tho efl'ects of their sproo, were neatly dressed and pre sented anything but a combative, appearance. Oieenbaum was on band witli his witnesses and prosecuted them for assault and battery upun himself and wifo. Ilarkins claimod that Froihaud was tho aggressor and first tried to strike him with n stick. This tho latter positivoly denied and Justico Toomey held tho accused men underf 300 bail each, for trial at court. It has also been stated in behalf of Murphy and Ilarkins that they ilid not strike Mrs. (ireenbauin, but that the blows she received were given by her husband during his struggles to leleaso himself from her L'ni-p and attack tlie two men charged. This assertion, however, is emphatically denied by Mr. Uiocnbaum aud his witnesses. ANorlIEK KllEK FICII1T. Tlicie was a freo fight in tho First ward early last evening in which a Hungarian and six Lithuanians mado tho scene a lively one for some time, but no one was seriously in jured. Policeman Hntlor gathered iu the combatants. Anthony Uovanasky, Anthony Zurkowski, Michael Huskowlcz, Sylvester Dunavago, Victoria lluskiowicz and Tillie Zurkowsy were tliouocused, while Peter Shuba figured as tho prosecutor. Shuba told Justico Toomey that ho and his friends passod tho house of the accused when one of tlio women, Victoria, threw a pieco of water-melon rind at him. It struck him and Peter s-tys ho went back to seo who threw it. Ho found out but nut without somo expense of personal comfort, as the crowd pounced upun him and ho was beaten over tho head with clubs. While in the Justice's otlico the prisoners be haved iu a mannor indicating that they looked upon the wholo affair as a huge joke. so Justico Toomey humorously remarked that he would put each under $300 bail to give them a chance to havo the laugh out at court.
