THE KHARTOUM EXPEDITION.

GORDON AGAIN BESIEGED BY REBELS

(BY CABLE.— COPYEKiIiT.) '•■■ :- ■ ■ ..; bAw, J^ovenitier 28.i The native Bpies who were sent to ascertain tho strength and position of tho Mahdi's army bave arrived at uongoia witn tno intolliKonco that Khartoum is surrounded by the rebel troops, who number fully 15,000 men. ■■ i Advance' of tho British Troops. ■■ Telegrams from Dongola state that a mo'j t d infantry corps has left that town's and is now proceeding southward.

THE PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

As In a short time tho wholo of the British expedition will bo marching across the desort to Khartoum, it will bo of Interest to note the preparations mrtdo in England for tho arduous undertaking. A now kind of ration for the army and navy was sub mitted to an inspection board, consisting of Dr. Kudd, Assistant Commissary-General Ryland, and Quartor-mastor Steele. It is contained in lib. tins, which have simply to bo warmed to mako an excellent stew, but it is not sufficiently compressed for tho exigencies of the present campaign, and was for that reason rejected. The Board also examined samples of the provisions now boing issued, and found all satisfac tory. It was reported that 1,400 tons of commissariat stores had beon 6ent out for tho purpose of the ex pedition, and that tho issue was proceeding at a rate exceeding that of the contract supplies. One firm, of Limehouso and New castle, has sent within five days 4,500 corn sacks, which aro urgently required for foraging purposes, and another London houeo has been able to furnish, without notice, GOO indiarubber bags for carrying water. A fortunate patentee of a certain filter ha 3 already supplied 880 of largo pattern for the boats, and has received an order for 980 more for Malta. Carrying Water in tho Dosort. Among tho services rendered in the Go vernmont works should bo mentioned tho manufacture and supply by tho Royal Laboratory of 500 camel tonka, iron reser voirs to contain 12$ gallons each, of a pattern similar to those in whioh water is usually carried over the desert. They weigh, when empty, 281b5., and are some what awkward in shape, but they are of the kind to which the natives are accustomed, and that is their chief recommendation. Tho mouthpiece is closed by a plug which requires a key to unlock it, a precaution to save the water from being stolen. Tho Expedition Staff. The Queen lias approved of the following appointments to the staff of the force to be despatched up the Nile :— General Lord Wolseley, G.C.8., to bo General Officer Commanding-in Chief the forcea in Egypt. To bo Military Secretary :-Brevet Lieu tsnant-Colonol Swalno.

It is stated by an officer of the staff that the paddle-steamer which is being sent out will.be used as a mean,s of communication Jip the Nile, chiefly for the conveyance of the sick, and that Lord Wolseley,; accord ing to his habit, will faro precisely as tho tiien dpi and occupy one of tha ordinary boats,, with no move baggage than he had .in 1882, when oho mule.served to carry the ih'ess fiirniture and full equipments of the commander-in-chief andsothorofficers. The steamer will carry seventy tons of cargo, though drawing only 18 inches of water. She is built of light steel, and her engines aro described as perfect. The troop-boats will olbo draw but eighteen inches when fully loaded. The special luxuries will be the medical chest for emergent uhs, and the liberal supply of tobacco; One hundred boxes, each containing 401b. of cake tobacco, have been sent arid 300 others are to follow, making in all IC.OOOIbs., or nearly 21bs. of to bacco per titan. A small Idt of jam and marmalade— 300 boxes of SOlbs each—is alsd being sent outi Dry biscuits and tea for breakfast, tinned meat and vegetable soup for dinner, and such remains as he can save for tea and supper, will bo the daily diet of a man engaged in the Nile campaign. A supply of platolayors' tools for laying the proposed railway is being got ready, and a company of the Royal Engineers have been employod for some weeks practising railway construction, engine driving, and the working of points and signals on the London, Chatham, and Dover Tine. They have beon formed into a gpeoial railway corpe, consisting of five officers and 130 non-commissioned officers and men, and being all picked and proficient men who have passed under instruction in various branches of military engineering, will receive special rates of pay.
