Os>man Digna, the notorious lieutenant of the late Khalifa of the Soudan, who was imprisoned at Damuka, has gone mad. He declared that the English are God's scourge, and must be obtyed by Moslems. Osman Digna commanded the Mahdi'a forces for over sixteen years, and displayed great ability in manoeuvring against the AngloEgyptian forces. His most notable successes were in battles of El Teb, in which Baker Pasha was defeated, and of Tamanieb, in which the British were repulsed with heavy loss General Kitchener's operations in the Soudan broke the Mahdi's power, and Osman Digna, after several defeats, was eventually captured.
