The War in Abyssinia.
(Per Press Association). Rome, March 18. General Buldesicra has ordered uonconibatants to leave Kassala. Tbe Italian Commandant hopes to hold out till July. It is reported from Massowab that tbe Dervishes are within two hours' march of Kassala, aud are ouly waiting the arrival of Digna's forces. The Shoans have stopped egress from Adigrat. London. March 19. Members of tbe Triple Alliance consent to the Egyptian reserve fund defraying the cost of the expedition. Tbe Times says there is reason to believe Kassala will be evacuated tomorrow. If the report is confirmed, this withdrawal will entirely alter the situation of Italians in Africa. Such a confession of weakness must re-act seriously on Egypt, as both the Nile Valley and Suakim will be threatened. > It is the duty of the British authorities i to provide against the threatened mischief.
