The Soudan War.
EMBARKATION OF FRESH TROOPS. [Reuter’s Telegrams.] Cairo, September 27. Arrangements for despatching the British expedition to the Soudan are rapidly approaching completion and General Lord Wolsely, who has been personally superintending the preparations, has started for the Nubian frontier. The thirty boats which were equipped for the transport of troops up the Nile have arrived at Assouan. London, September 26. Detachments of the Life Guards and Household Cavalry to be formed into a camel corps in connection with the British expedition to the Soudan, embarked to-day at Portsmouth for Alexandria, on board the steamships Deccan and Australia, specially chartered as transports. The news of General Gordon’s recent victories over the rebels is doubted in Cairo. News from the Soudan states that the Egyptian forces have occupied Halfijieh; that the town of Senaar is safe, and the Shaggies’ country tranquil, many of the chiefs swearing to abandon El Mahdi.
