Mr. Phelps led one extreme and Mr. Eaton the other. , Suakim, March 14.—A desperate battle has been fought by Gan. Graham's forces and the Arab hordes of Osman Digma. The British had abundant forewarnings of the imminent fray. On Wednesday night they were not permitted to rest in their camp, eleven miles distant from this place. It was a bright moonlight night, ,and Osman Digma's skirmishers prowled the picket lines and kept up a rattling Are that made every one uneasy in apprehension of a night attack in foros—a manoeuver perfectly feasible owing to the brightness of the night.. At 1 o'clock in the morning a mire persistent attack of these prowlers startled the camp, the long roH was beaten and the men marshaled, prepared for a desperate encounter. The enemy lost their opportunity to make a movement in foroe with any hope of success, and after a few fierce vollevs retired to oover. The desultory fire of their skirmishers was kept up, however, until daybreak. The British did not reply, as the shooting was wild and they were suffering little or no loss, only one officer and two men being wounded and one man killed during the entire night. When day broke, Gen. Graham got a couple of guns unlimbered, and fiung two or three shells among tho squad of Arabs in his front and hovering about his outposts on all sides. The enemy dispersed to cover in haste under this fire, the range of the artillerists being very accurate, and the shots visibly effective.

The situation remained unchangel until daybreak when the horrors of the scene became glaringly apparetU. The men who still retained their conposure commenced to gnther tbo fragmeuts of humanity scattered about. These were evidently the limbs of those minors who had been working near the bottom of tho shaft at the time of the accident, and were blown upwards. Not one of these unfortunates, numbering about ilfty, survived, as their shattered limbs lying ground broadcast testified. When the sun had risen the inhabitants of the village for the first time commenced to think of appealing to the outside world for aid. Telecrams were sent right and left in every direction, but It was not until noon that aid reached thnn from Lynchburg and tho small villages nearer. All the mr,rising men from the surrounding came pouring in,having been attracted by the great voln me of smoke rising In the air. The hunters in the mountains were numerous among the body and were invaluable in aiding the panic stricken families. The greater part of the victims are known to'be Italians and Germans, and such is the confusion and terror manifested on all (ides that the names of the victims could not be ascertained except in a few instances. A party of miners from Coalfield mines, under Col. George Dodds, arrived during the afternoon and took charge of the camp. The residents were compelled to retire from the vicinity of the mine and the new comers then gathered all the fragments of human remains and placed them in adjoining houses. TJie collection was a ghastly one, and the 1,500 population remaining above ground seemed to have lost all reason. There was not one in the crowd but had lost a relative, and all seemed to have lost all hope pf ever seeing any of their dear ones alive. Young giels dashed around aimleas, many of them covered with blood-stains secured in their ghastly search. Men sat on logs or lay proetrate on the ground, staring stolidly around, their pale features testifying to the terrible mental strain. About •very half hour a body of men would proceed t.D the mouth of the mine and make a determined effort to force an entrauce. Ajain and again the great pall of smoke and the bursting flames from below would force them back, and soma of them would be borne tuOf into the fresh air. I,aCt night, at seven o'clook, it was thought an entranoe could be made, aa the smoke ■bowed sign*C pf decreasing. A party of men attempted to go down, when a volume pf C*«"*» shot up and they were hurriedly aided to the surface. One of their number, aa Italian, named Carlo I$ranchi, was missing, and had evidently dropped from the cage. All of the party were badly burned, and this showed how fruitless were any hopes at rescue. The shaft at 8 p. X. was a roaring funnel of flame. An the outbuildings in the vicinity ignited and the fanhouse, whioh ha 1 been looked to a* the salvation of any of the men who might be •lire below, caught Are also. A shriek of despair and anguish went up again at this catastrophe, whioh was regarded as fatal to all hopes of rescue.
