THE SOUDAN CAMPAIGN.
London, February 22.
Sir Gerald Graham and staff and Grenadier Guards embarked to-day for the Soudan.
Cairo, February 22.
The latest telegrams to hand from Korti report that the enemy is harassing the British troops at Abukela, to which place Sir Redvers Buller recently retired from Gubat, and it is said he will fall back on Gakdul as soon as the necessary camels arrive at Abukela. Melbourne, Saturday.
The Government have received a reply to its offer of troops for the Soudan. The Imperial Government expresses its high appreciation of the tenders of Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, but is unable to accept them, as the troops could not arrive until too late. If, however, operations in the Soudan are prolonged until autumn the offers will be considered. Dcaedin, Sunday.
Up to noon to-day Mr Fulton received applications, from sixty persons willing to undertake service in the Soudan. One female offered to go as nurse.
Port Chalmers, Saturday.
The Naval Artillery have offered to proceed to the Soudan. The men are principally seamen, and if their offer is accepted would be found very useful.
