Laxt nilit the Anglo-Egyptian army eiicampeil at Aaiza, ein'it mile from Oiiidurinan. The deryiHhe were three in ilea diHtant. At dawn today, the car airy patrolini toward Oindiirnian discov ered the enemy advancing to the attack in battle array, chanting war aouga. Their front curmii-ted of infantry and cav-: airy, Btretched out for three or four mile, Cuunllea banner flattered over their niHHHex, and the copper and bran ' diuina reaouuded tlinmi'li the ranks ol the lavage warrior, who advanced on BWerving'y, with all their old time ardor. Our infantry formed up outnide the camp. On the left were the fimt battal ion Northumberland (uileer,tlie cecoiid battalion Lancunhire fusileer and the (imt battalion (irenadier KnariU, with the Maxim battery, manned by the I'.ov al Irinti fiiHileer. On our center weie the flint battalion Warwii khire regi ment, the lirat batta'ion Cameron llii;h lanileraand tho tlmt battalion Lincoln shire regiment, wkh iimxiiu worked by a ik'lai'hnietit of the royal artillery, un dtr Major William. On our ri;it were the oliilaneBo brigad-8, comraaiided by (ieiieial Maxwell and General MiDoti aM. The Egyptian hrigadeit held the rem-rve, and bolh flank were nupport ed hy Maxim and NinlenfeM biitterief. T-,?''.avjiu the '.neiiiy crowded the rM)-PN alxivo the oamo and advanee.l eteailily in euvt-lojiiiig furmation. At 7 :40 our artillery opened lire, wiiich wan auewered by the dervish riileiiieu. Their attack develop I on our li ft, and in ac cordance w ith their truilitional tactics, they Aept down the lullsiJe wilh the iloigii of runhing our flank. But the witheriii) fire maintained for 15 minute by all our line Iruut rated the atlenipt.and the derviuhe, balked, awept toward our center, tiHn w hich they concentrated a tierco allai k. A large force of horsemen, trying to face a continuous hail of bullets from the Cameron Highlanders, the Lincoln hire regiment and the Soudanese, was literally swept away, leading to the with drawal of the eutire bjily, whose dead strewed the field. The bravery of the dervishes can hard ly be overstated. Those who carried the fl.ig Htruggled to within 100 yards of our lighting line. When the dorvishe withdrew behind the ridgo in front of their camp, the whole force marched in echelon of bat talion toward Oiiiiluriii in. As our troop surmounted the crest adjoining the Nile, the Soudanese on our right came into contact with the Ueniick, who had reformed under cover of a rocky eminence, and had marched beneath the black standard of the khalifa in Older to make a supreme effort to retrieve the fortunes of the day. A mass 15,000 Btrong bore down on the Soudanese. (.Jeneial Kitchener swung round the center and left of the Soudanese and seized the rocky eminence, and the Egyptians, hitherto in reserve, joined the filing line in 10 minutes, and before the dervishes could drive their atlack home. The flower of the khalifa's oriuy was caught in a depression and within a zone of withering crosH-fire from three bri gades, with the attendant artillery. The devoted Mahdis strove heroically to make headway, but every rush was stoo ped, while their main body was literally mown down by a sustained eross-fue. Peliantly the dervishes planted their stitmlards and died beside them. Their dense masses gradually melted to com panies, and the companies to driblets be neath the leaden hail, Finally they broke and lied, leaving the field while with Jibhah-clad corpses, like a snow drift dotted spot. At 11 :15 the sirdar ordered an advance and our whole force, m line, drove the scattered remnants into the desert, our cavalry rutting oil' their retteat to One ihirnmn. Among tho chief incident.! of the battle was a brilliant charge by the twenty-ilrst Lancets, under Lieutenant-Colonel Mar tin. Galloping down on a dctachea body of the enemy, they found the dervish swordmuer. in aided behind, and were lorced to charge home against appalling odd. The Lancer hacked through the rnann, rallied and kept the horde at bay. Lieutenant (irenfelt, nephew of (ieneral Sir Francis Greiifclt,wa killed, four oth er officer were wounded, 21 men were killed and 20 wounded. The Egyptian cavalry were in close fighting throughout with the Uangara horsemen. For a abort period the enemy ra tured and held a gun, but it was bril liantly retaken. The heroic bravery of the dervishe evoked universal admiration. Time af ter time their diier-d and broken forc es reformed and burled themselves upon the Anglo Egyptian, their emir con spicuously leading and spurning death. Eves when wounded and in death ago nic they raised themselves to fire a last shot. Among the wounded is Colonel Rhodes, the correspondent of the Loii don TimeH, and a brothel of Cecil IChodes.

London, Sept. 4 The war office baa received tne following dispatch from General Kitchener, dated Saturday even ing: "The remnant of the khalifa's force has surrendered and I have now a very large number of prisoners on my hand. Our cavalry and gunboat are still pursuing the khalifa and hi chiefs, who, with on ly about 140 fighting men, are apparent ly making tor Kordofan.

The war correspondent of the Daily News says: "Our victory was not easily or cheaply won. The dervish loss waa enormous. It is estimated that the killed of the en emy were not fewer than 8,000. Our whole force was engaged in fighting from 6:30 a. in. until sundown. Instead ol watting for us in Omdnrman, where they could have nuido a resistance that woold have cot us thousand of lives, thev anvanced to meet us. The eight was extraonlinary. Some 12,0.10 men, in '. four brigades, uUeinplud to rush our zer eba. With desperate gillantry they were repulsed, suffering huge loss. Our maxim guns, especially, made terrible lanes in their ranks, and our attiilcry dealt havoc in the town, which was full of women. Tho dervish ai my of 00,000 is utterly broken, but we are fully pre pared to fight tomorrow if they w ish it." Tho Standard war correspondent also pay tribute to the tnanilicuiit courage of the dervishes, but adds: j " Kortuna'e for U3 their leaders shnwpd ! little or no wisdom in choosing a buttle! field. By not occupying the hill on our left front the enemy missed hi oppor tunity. That would have left the sirdar two alternative. He might either have accepted the challenge or elected to make a wide detour into the desert to reach Omdnrman. In I he former case, we should have been compelled to meet the dervishes in the open. In the latter case, the enemy' chance of offering, prolonged resistance would have been materially increased, but the Baggarau have lost none of their former courage, and were resolved to attack n where we stood, trusting to sheer weight of num ber, and hoping to hurl themolve against ti with an irresistible rash." Describing the attempt of the Baggara horsemen to retrieve the day's fortunes by a final charge,the correspondent says: 'Dashing aeros the level stretch ol pebbly roil, the khalifa's cavalry rode madly at the stationary line of infantry. Our troop aoaited the cbirge without flinching. On came the dervishes, but again the deadly Tire poured into them di( its deadly work. Men and horsea fell thick and hardly a rider in that des perate charge escaped. "A large body of the enemy' inlantry, undismayed by the slaughter, could be seen preparing to follow the cavalry, but oar field artillery and maxims, descend ing from the hill on which they were posted, came again into action, and the conflict entered a new phase. ' "The attack on our camp had been re pulsed, and the only question wag wheth er the defeat of the enemy wa complete. It was not long before the dervishe were seen in full flight toward the right, leav ing their dead on the field a they fled. Practically the whole army of the khalifa. wa destroyed. "Our casualties number over 200. Our losses in Zereba, when the enemy first attacked ua, were small, considering the number of the enemy. "Our artillery and rifle fire were terri bly effective. The dervishes fought well, displaying a courage that would have seemed marvelous, ha f we not known their spirit, "The march to Omdnrman after the great fight was comparatively without incident. The nirdar, with his chief ol staff. General Uundle, Colonel Wingate and Slatin Paoha, rode behind two com panies of Egyptian!), and the Soudanese proudly carried with them the khalifa.' flag, the black banner which was to lead his Iroop to ricto-J- As we p "m1 the place the people living in houses outside the wall poured out in regiments to wel come the victor. Tassin through a long street, we came to the wall itself, a solid piece of rough masonry. There had been do need to employ 40 six pounders to effect a breach. An entry was found near the river, and the sirdar rode into Omdnrman unopposed. The city seemed deserted save for women and some two9core men, who came for ward to make submission and lay down their arms. Around the ruined tomb of the Mahdi the city extends on all sides like a rabbit warren." r.n.i.
