BAKER PASHA'S ARMY CUT TO PIECES.

Cowardly Barbarism of his Troops.

London, February s.—Baker Pasha has met with a serious defeat in Soudan. He had with him 3.000 men, and was advancing when at tacked. His losses in killed and wounded amonnt to 2,000. Baker, with the remnant of his force, succeeded in reaching Trinkitat, where the gun boat Ranger is lying. Baker Pasha intends to proceed immediately to Souakim in the Ranger. On receipt of the news of Baker Pasha's de feat, the Admiralty issued telegraphic orders stopping troopships on the way to India. The Egyptian correspondence which has been pub lished confirms the report that England had no intention of employing British or Indian troops in Soudan. The English Government does not object to the employment of Turkish troops in Egypt provided the Porte pays their expenses. Cairo, February s.—The Khedive has a tele gram from Baker Pasha reporting his defeat near Tokar. His losses were 2,000 men, four Krupp cannon and two Gatling guns. The Turks and Europeans fought well. Baker Pasha will return at once to Souakim with the remainder of his force.

Advices regarding the defeat of Baker Pasha are conflicting, but the following details have been received. Baker Pasha began his advance from the intronchment at Trinkitat on Sunday. His force consisted of 3,000 troops, badly armed and short of ammunition, many of whom showed an unwillingness to pro ceed. Baker Pasha had sent from Trinkitat 10 Cairo an urgent appeal for rifles to replace tho old muskets with which a number of his troops were armed. In reply he received orders to try to force his way to Tokar without delay, and, with the English officers connected witli the •expedition, began the march with the exnecta tioa of defeat, Spies had falsely reported the road clear, with the exception of small bands of rebels. On Monday forenoon a portion of his advance encountered a body of Osman Digna's troops and a fight ensued, which wa3 more of a rout than a battle.

Souakim. February o.—Baker Pashalostallhis camels and baggage in his flight. Most of the Egyptian officers and men bolted. Colonel Sartorioua tried hard to rally them, but without success. The enemy pursued them into Trinkitat. The police and Turkish infantry were cut to pieces. Fourteen European aid three native officers arc missing. The fight began by a few Arab horsemen attacking Baker Pasha's cavalry, which fled. Baker then formed a square, which the enemy surrounded. The rest of the Egyptians then fled in confusion, and the gunners deserted their guns. Bakor Pasha was several times surrounded by the enemy, but with his staft" managed to cut his way through. The enemy's force was in ferior in numbers to Baker Pasha's. Only three sides of a square were formed, owing to the fact that two companies of Egyptian troops stood still, overcome with fright. The enemy poured into this gap, when the Egyptians threw away their rifles, and flung themselves upon the ground, screaming for mercy. The troops on one aide of the square killed many of their own men by wild firing. The enemy betrayed profound contempt for their opponents. All the stores at Trinkitat were Drought away. Colonel Barnaby is safe. Marines have been landed at Souakim to prevent a panic. Later Reports. London. February 6.—Lator advices of the defeat of Bakor Pasha state that the slaughter of his forces continued all the way back to Trinkitat. The Egyptians were panic-stricken, and fell upon their knees, but their appeals for mercy wore fruitless. The Arabs seized them by their necks, thrust spears into their backs, and savagely cut their throats. The English men missing are Maurice Bey, Surgeon Leslie, Capts. Foster and Walker, and Lieuts. Carroll, Smith and Watkins. Ten other foreign officers are missing. The fugitives, huddled together on the shore at Trinkitat, might easily havo been slaughtered, but tho enemy nave over the pursuit. Tho men embarked as quickly os pos sible upon six transports lying there, and with Baker Pasha and Colonel Sartorioua, arrived at midnight at Sonakim. Intense excitement pre vails at Souakim. An attack of the enemy is expected. The forts are occupied by English marines. The French agent has telegraphed for a man-of-war. All special despatches agree that Tokar and Sinkat are hopelessly lost. The fact that the British gunboats left Trinkitat created a bad Impression vrpon the minds of the Egyptians, and enoouracod the rebels in thoir fanaticism. The rebels captured five euns, COO rounds of cannon ammunition, 30(y rifles, and an enormous quantity of cartridges. Souakim, Februarys.—The enemy surrounded and destroyed Tewflk Bey and 400 of his fol lowers botueen Sinkat and tho coast while at tempting to cut their way through the rebels.

THE TROUBLE IN SOUDAN.

Khartoum. January 27.—The steamers sent to clear the Blue Nile failed to do so. They were attaoked by the rebols with great fury. The rebels waded to tho attack, and were only repulsed after 80 rockets had been fired into their ranks, and after they suffered a heavy °K1 Mahdl left El Obeid nine days ago. His destination is unknown. He has 37,000 men, plenty of ammunition and Krupp guns. M Mahdi lost only 300 men during the engagement with Hicks Pasha. A refugee from El Obeid reports that he saw Major Yon Zeckendorf stabbed to death while in bed in a hospital. Edmund O'Donovan, cor respondent of the " Daily Nows," was killed near General Hicks. The rest of the Europeans belonging to the army he saw lying dead after the batt'e. He says El Mahdi sold large quantt ties of watches and rings and the like. The Sheik Obodi has been summoned to Khartoum to surrender, to avoid bloodshed. The town is quiet, but tho soldiers are clamour ing for pay. The arrival of Goneral Gordon is anxiously awaited, Hussien Pasha is offering obstructions to everymeasure. • . London. January 29.-Tho "Times, m a leading artiole, says: The fact that Baron Eoths chnan_3 lent the Khedire nearly £1,1.00.0.0 implies confidence in Egypt's finances, Emr land has taken Egypt in hand, and will see her safely through her troubles. England cannot retire now without exposing Egypt to a worse condition of anarchy than that which prevailed U London, January 30.-Chamberlain, President of the Board of Trade, in a speech at Birming ham, said England is not going to allow a war with El Mahdi foramomont to interfere with the projected reforms and improved institutions which England is making every eitort to develop in Egypt, and by which it is honed security may %c given to Egyptian liberties and the people educated for independence and solt- B°C_S™ e February 15th.-Gen..

TWO "STARS" FOR THE COLONY.

Miss Langtry and Dion Bouoicault to Visit Now Zealand.

IIANI.ON'a manager, Mr Morris Greeuwall, in forms us that ho has completed arrange ments with two of the greatest "stars" in the theatrical firmament, for a tour in the Australasian colonies; in a word, that Uie celebrated "professional boauty," Mrs Langtry, who is at present "starring" in New York, and Mr Dion Boucicault. the well-known dramatist and actor (author of

"The Shaughran") have agreod to accept his Eilotage for a tour in these colonies. Mrs angtry is acquiring a reputation as an actress quite apart from her beauty, and her perform ance in "As You Like It" and "She Stoops to Conquer" arespoken of intcrms of specialpraise. To-day Mr GroenwaW met Mr Musgrove, of the firm of Williamson. Garner, and Musgrove, and the interview terminated in Mr Musgrrove, on bohalf of tho firm, undertaking to pilot Mrs Langtry and Boucicault through the colonies. The Boucicault engagement commences in Australia or New Zealand on Mr.y 19, and the Langtry engagement on August G. Mrs Langtry, who may be expected to arrive hereby tho July steamer, will be accompanied by five of her American Company. Prom what wo know of Messrs Williamson, Garner, and Musgrove's enterprise wo havn no doubt but that both engagements will be made highly attractive to the people of tho colonies. Tho terms of bi th artists are extremely hitch, business. Some idea of the incidental expenses of the Langtry tour may be gained from the fact that the Jersey Lily "travels" two maids, two servants, and a secretary.

HANLAN, THE CHAMPION OARSMAN.

His Doings In Auckland.

Amongst the through paagengers by tho mail steamer, City of Sydney, which arrived from San Francisco at midnight yesterday, was Mi- Edward Hanlan, the world-renowned oarsman. He left England in May, 1882, and since then has been sojourning in Canada, with the oxception of three months Bpont in San Francisco. The clmmpion goes to Australia for the purpose of giving rowing exhibitions and meeting any of the colonial oarßmen that may be pitted against him. No matches have however yet been arranged. He is accompanied by his manager, _Ip Morris Gree_w_ll. who will bo remembered by Aucklandcrs as tho manager of the Mendelsjohn Quartette Troupo. Hanlan is a fine looting man about 27 years of age. Ho is five feet eight inches in height, and measures 331 Inches round the chest His dark-brown curly hair falling in luxuriant masses on his flneopoa brow give him more tho appearance of a scholar than an athlete. His voice is well modulated, and there is a pleasing soupcon of

" the brogue," just sufficient to raise a suspicion that his ancestors hailed from tho Green Islo The oarsman brlnga with him a boat of Spanish cedar, weighing 291bs. It is 11 inchos in width, and was built to Hanlan's order in Boston, Mass. Messrs Hanl&n and Greenwall paid an early visit to tho Star Office, and then pro ceeded to tho Northern Club, where they break fasted. Hearing there that it was an unforgiv able sin to visit Auckland and not ascend Mount Eden, a pilgrimage to the crater was made, the visitors expressing the opinion that tho todious climb was well repaid by the magnificent view obtained from the summit Subse quently they mot Mr Musgrove, manager of the Opera Company, to whom Mr Green wall had lottors of introduction, and at his suggestion they proceoded to Messrs Thornton, Smith and Firth's establishment, when Hanlan was weighod. His weight was. found to bo liXk just twenty pounds over his rowing weight. A pleasant hour was spent in the Opera House, where tho rohearsal of '• Le Cloches do Cornvillo" was proceeding. Hanlan lunched at the Star Hotel, and shortly bofore two o'clock, the hour fixed for the de parture of the mail boat, ho arrhed on the wharf. Hero a crowd of several hundred per sons had assembled, anxious to see the man concerning whom they had heard so much. A3 lie walked along the gangway on to the ves'elthoorowdcheerod' lustily and callealonaly for the champion to show himeclf on the bridge. After a good deal of cheering Hanlan came for ward to the taffrail of tho hurricane deck. Thiß was tha signal for renewed cheers, and it was somo time before order was restored. Hanlan then removed his hat, bowed to tho crowd, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen,—l have been somewhat taken aback by this kind and quite unexpected ovation. I thank you foryourkindly wishes and your hearty cheers. I can only say that I will do in the future as I have done in tho past—row to win when I start I have always done so, and I intend to continue to do so. i hope to return to your colony in tho course of four months, when I will give an ex hibition of my skill as an oarsman.. More oheering followed, and the applause was con tinued till the steamer loft tho wharf.
