The Soudan War.
[Rbutbb’s Tkleob.uk.' THE FALL OF BERBER. EGYPTIAN GARRISON MASSACRED. Caibo, June 8. Intelligence has been received that Berber, an important town on the Nile, north of Khartoum, has fallen to the rebels after a brief struggle, and they are now in full possession. A portion of the Egyptian garrison surrendered their arms, and went over to the assailants, and the remainder who declined to yield were killed to a man. In consequence of the presence of a large body of Arab rebels under Osman Digna in the neighborhood of Suakim, further reinforcements comprising all the British marines available at Port Said and another batallion of Egyptian regulars are under orders to proceed there without delay.
