THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1898-10 PAGES, W. B. Moses & Sons. | W. B. Moses & Sons. Greatest Trade Event of the Year, ur September Furniture Sal More has contributed to the success of this sale than any we've ever held. We have bought out stocks before, but for choiceness and desirability this season’s purchases carry off the honors. We bought the entire goods from the world-renowned firm of Nelson, Matter & Co. A purchase of goods that the firm de- cided not to continue making because the detail of construction was too expensive. Bedroom Suites, in Solid Mahogany, Curly tirch, Maple and Oak; also Sideboards, and Chiffoniers of the finest quality and construction. All going at wonderfully small rices. : A purchase at the sheriff's sale of the stock of the well-known New York firm of J. Healy & Co., manufacturers of Parlor Suites, Odd Pieces, Couches, Lounges, Easy and Morris Chairs. The goods were bought at ridiculously small prices—they’'ll sell at ri- diculously small prices—prices that in no way compare with the value of the pieces. Here are some selling price ideas: Sideboards. sSeedeegeebontoetodineterseeseeteote along { sSoehondonseeteeteeteesentententostentonteeteeteetoctnetertertederdtodsontodt ef ry ig S338 Es a tt bs eA te es De De De De Ds es Oe te ie ee te te Re a Bedroom Suites.

The Spanish Gunboat Sandov: ed From Her Bed of Mud. The Spanish gunboat Sandoval has been added to the American navy. This vessel was at Guantanamo when Santiago was surrendered to Gen. Shafter, and when news of that event was received at Guan- tanamo the Spanish warship was scuttlea at her anchorage. Since then efforts were made to raise the sunken craft from her bed of mud, and a report received at the Navy Department from Commodore Wat- son says that the efforts have at last been successful and that the Sandoval is now afloat, in command of Lieut. Anderson of the Marblehead. Commodore Watson also said that the Marblehead would start from Guantanamo immediately for Boston. ————_+ 2+ _____ The Distilling Ship Sails. ‘The distilling ship iris sailed from Norfoik Saturday for Montauk Point to supply fresh drinking water. to the soldiers at Camp Wikoff. E = Rais- FALL OF KHARTOUM Gen. Kitchener Avenges the Death of “Chinese” Gordon. KHALIFA’S FORCE HAS SURRENDERED Joy in England Over the Victory of Her Army in Egypt. TAKING OF OMDURMAN + A cablegram from London, dated yester- day, states: The war office has received the following dispatch from Gen. Kitchener, dated Sat- urday evening: he remnant of the khalifa’s force has surrendered, and I have now a very large number of prisoners on my hands. “Our cavalry and gunboats are still pur- suing the khalifa and his chiefs, who, with only about 140 fighting men, are apparently ‘king for Kordofan. “The left bank of the White Nile is so di- ficult of approach, owing to the overflow and the thick bush, that the gunboats can- not effect a landing. I therefcre can oniy rely upon the cavalry to capture him. “I visited Khartoum today. The town is a complete ruin, but the lower portions show some of the principal houses still standing. The people are naturally deiigat- ed to see us. So far as 1 can sve at present Khartoum is the best position. Omdurmen is very extensive, and the stench there is unbearable. “I have therefore moved the troops duwn to Khor Skambat, where we now are in a good camp on the river. All the British wounded will descend the river with this dispatch. There are no cases that cause grave anxiety.” The morning paper editorials resound with congratulations upon the avenging of Gordon, and are fu:l of eulogy of Baron Cromer, the British financial adviser to the khedive; Gen. Kitchener and all concerned in the splendid success. AN day yesterday impressive scenes were witnessed at Gor- don’s statue in Trafalgar Square, London. Barly in the morning the statue was wreathed and decorated with a placard bearing the words: “At last.” The police removed altogether three such placards, but the demonstrations continued. The Capture of Omdurman. Advices from Omdurman, opposite Khar- toum, on the Nile, Nubia, September 2, by camel post to Nasri, state: ‘The Sirdar, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the khalifa’s black standard, captured during the battle, entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdiam, at 4 o'clock this after- noon, at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column, after completely routing the der- vishes and dealing a deathblow at Mah- diam. Roughly, our losses were 200, while thous- ands of the dervishes wer® killed or wound- ed. Last night the Anglo-Egyptian army en- camped at Agaiza, eight miles from Om- durman. The dervishes were three miles distant. At dawn today our cavalry, patrol- ling toward Omdurman, discovered the en- emy advancing to the attack in battle ar- ray, chanting war songs. Their front con- sisted of infantry and cavalry, stretched out for three or four miles. Countless ban- ners fluttered over their mas: , and the copper and brass drums resounded through the serried ranks of the savage warriors, who advanced unwaveringly with all their old-time ardor. Our infantry formed up outside the mp, On the left were the Ist Battalion, North- umber!and Fusileers; the 2d Battalion, Lan- cashire Fusileers, and the Ist Battalion, Grenadier Guards, with the Maxim battery, manned by the Royal Irish Fusileers. Ir. our center were the Ist Battalion, Warwick- shire Regiment; the 1st Battalion, Cameron Highlanders, and the Ist Battalion, Lin- colnshire Regiment, with Maxims worked by a detachment of the Royal Artillery, under Maj. Williams. The Enemy‘s Advance. On our right were the Soudanese brig- ades, commanded by General Maxwell and General Macdonald. The Egyptian brigades held the reserves, and both flanks were supported by the Maxim-Nordenfelt bat- teries. 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 an- swered by the dervish riflemen. Their attack developed on our left; and in accordance with their traditional tac- tics they swept down the hillside with tne design of rushing our flank. But the with- ering fire maintained for fifteen minutes by all our line frustrated the attempt, and the dervishes balked, swept toward our center, apen which they concentrated a flerce attack. A large force of horsemen, trying to face a continuous hail of bullets from the Cameron Highlanders, the Lin- colnshire Regiment, and the Soudanese, Was literally swept away, leading to the withdrawal of the entire body, whose dead strewed the field. The bravery of the dervishes can hardly be overstated. Those who carried the flags struggled to within a 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 echelon of battalions to- ward Omdurman. As our troops surmount- ed the crest adjoining the Nile, the Sou- danese on our right came into contact with the enemy, who had reformed under cover of a rocky eminence, and had massed be- neath the biack standard of the khalifa in order to make a supreme effort to retrieve the fortunes of the day. A mass, 15,000 strong, bore down on the Soudanese. Literally Mowed Down. General Kitchener swung round the cen- ter and left of the Soudanese and seized the rocky eminence, and the Egyptians, hither- to in reserve, joined the firing line in ten minutes, and before the dervishes could drive their attack home. The flower of the khalifa’s army was caught in a depression and within a zone of withering cross-fire from three brigades, with the attendant artillery. The devoted Mahdists strove herojeally to make head- way, but every rush was stopped, while their main body was literally mowed down by a sustained deadly cross-fire. Detiantly the dervishes planted their standards and died beside them. Their dense masses gradually melted to cornpa- nies and the companies to driblets beneath leaden hail) Finally they broke and led, leaving the field white with jibah-elad corpses, like a snowdrift-dotted meadow, At 11:15 the sirdar ordered an advance, and our whole force in line drove the scat- tered remnant of the foe into the desert, our cavalry cutting off their retreat to Om. durman. Among the chief incidents of the battle was a brilliant charge by the 2ist Lancers, under Lieutenant Colonel Martin. Gallop- ing down on a detached body of the enemy, they found the dervish swordsmen massed behind, and were forced to charge home against appalling odds. The Lancers hacked through the mass, rallied, and kept the dervish horde at bay. Ideutenant Grenfell, nephew of General Bir Francis Grenfell, was killed, four other officers were wounded, twenty-one men were killed, and twenty wounded. The Egyptian cavalry were in close fight- ing throughout with the Baggara horse- men. For a short period the enemy cap- tured and held the gun, but it was bril- liantly 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 conspicuous- ly leading and spurning death. Eyen when wounded and in death ag- onies they raised themselves to fire a last shot. Among the wounded is Colonel Rhodes, the correspondent of the London Times and a brother of Cecil Rhodes. Two Officers Killed. A dispatch from Cairo, dated September 4, says: General Kitchener telegraphs, saying: “Only two British officers were killed in the battle—Lieut. Grenfell of the 2ist Lan- cers, and Captain Caldecott, Warwickshire Regiment.

On the British side the figures range from sixty to 300, and cn‘the der- vish from. 2,000 to 10,000. "The war correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph with the Anglo-Egyptian forces says: “Khalifa Abdullah, with his harem, and Osman Digna, his principal general, managed to escape; but Abdullah's banner and thousands of prisoners are in our hands. It is estimated that 15,000 of the enemy were slain. Our total casualties were about 500. “Besides Colonel Rhodes, another corre- spondent was slightly wounded. Mr. How- ard, the New York Herald correspondent, was slain by a shell in Omdurman.” Dervish Lous Enormous. The war correspondent of the Daily News says: “Our victory was not easily or cheap- ly won. The dervish loss was enormous. It is estimated that the killed of the enemy were no fewer than 8,000. PRUSSIANS CHEER VICTORIA.

United States Treasurer Roberts, speaking of the upward trend ef the gold in the treasury, said that out of about $40,000,000 yet to be paid in for the new war loan, it is likely that $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 will be in gold. “It would not be at all strange,” he said, “if before the tide turns our total gold will be considerably over $250,000,000.' Order A SLOW PROCESS. Details of Muster Out Causes Delay at Camp Alger. Srectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, DUNN LORING, Va., September 5, 1808. Unless the friends of the 3d Virginia and 1st Connecticut can induce the War De- partment to intervene, it is not likely that those two commands will leave camp be- fore next Mcrday. Under the orders now in course of execution, the preparation of the regimental discharge lists and the verl- fication of the regimental books will cori- sume fully a week, so that the 2,600 men concerned cannot be dismissed “before the time named. In the case of the 65th New York, how- ever, friends of the command were able to pessuade the department to waive some of the formality usually required and to have the regiment sent home without further de- lay. The men accordingly broke camp Sun- day at noon, wildly happy because they had escaped the process of being formally mus- tered out. Some hope is entertained by the men o¢ the 3d Virginia that Senator Daniel and the several representatives who have interested themselves in the matter will be able to secure a similar concession and so have the regiment sent home by about Fri- day. At headquarters no one knows any- thing definite of this plan, but the impres- sion prevails that the regiment is not likely to be held much longer in Camp Alger. The departure of the New Yorkers leaves the camp practically deserted. Only two regiments, one or two hospital tents and a few men about headquarters now remain. In <he hospital there are only about thirty patients, and a full half hundred of the at- tendants have been: disc! The force at headquarters has narrowed down to Brig. Gen. Plume, Adjt. Gen. Strong, Majs. Wright and’ Butler, the mustering officers, and a few orderlies. The quartermaster and commissary departments have been di- minished to about the same extent. A table has been prepared of the sick men still under treatmept. All but six of the thirty now ill are down with typhoid and will require constant care for several weeks. The others Will be dismissed from day to day. Until yesterday two officers Were included on the roll of patients—Capt. Van Epp of the 33d Michigan and Lieut. Haddow of the Ist New Jersey. The for- mer has been taken to Fort Myer; the lat- ter still remains in Camp Alger. Both are seriously ill. eee RELIEVING THE FAMILIES. Good Work of the Ladies of Mary ‘Washington Chapter. While the men of Washington are looking out for the District soldiers at Montauk, the ladies are looking to the relief of the families of these brave men who left their all to serve their country. The Mary Wash- ington Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, relief committee is doing noble “work in this respect, having given assist- ance in the sixty-five cases of destitution among the families of the District volun- teers reported to the relief committee since its organization. Each case was investi- ted and every possible assistance ren- lered the needy. Aw this relief is not a matter of public charity, however, but an act of gratitude from a people who appre- clate the services of thetr soldiers, the names of those assisted by the committee pave not beén made public, nor will they ‘The committee has been much annoyed at the reports that cases of destitution among 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-7006 Ix st. 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st.

BOTHIN” BOUGHT POISON, Latest Clue Discovered in the Dun- ming Murder Case. A woman whose name appears as “Mrs. Bothin” on the poison register kept by the Owl drug store, at No. 1128 Market street, bought two ounces of arsenic from a clerk normed Frank 8. Grey at 2 o'clock p.m. on June 1, 1898. She gave her address as Cali- fornia and Hyde streets. Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, who has been ar- rested on the charge of sending a box of poisoned bonbons to Dover. Del., which caused the death of Mrs. J. P. Dunning and her sister, Mr3. J, D. Deane, lived at the Victoria Hotel, on the Sear escaped Hyde and California streets, on Ju L. may the poison was purchased. To Chief of Poljee Lees Grey. made this statement; “The woman came into the store and said she wanted some arsenic for bleaching. Bhe gave the name of Mrs. Bothin.

I also remember the appearance and mannerisms of the woman who made the purchase, but I do not care to say at this time whether I think the person who bought the poison was Mrs. Botkin. At the proper time and under the proper circumstances I will state definitely whether she was the one.” Another woman has connected herself with the poisoning case. Mrs, F. C.

She believes that her association with him was more intimate than had been that of any other woman in San Francisco, She wrote him many let- ters of endearment. She knew his affairs and those of his wife and family. She cared for him, and tells with an expression of fear that she signed her letters of af- ection “Mrs. C.” the signature on the note sent with the candy to Mrs. Dunning. Further than this she insists that she was a professional candy maker and dangerous- ly corresponds with the description of the woman whom J. BE.
