THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

I wish to ask the noble Earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has any information to communicate to the House respecting recent events near Suakin?

EARL GRANVILLE

In reply to the noble Marquess, I have to say that the following telegram has been received from General Graham by the Secretary of State for War, dated Osman Digna's Camp, March 13, 11.40 A.M.:— Camp taken after hard fighting since 8 o'clock.
