Fall of Khartoum Stirs London War Talk and Wolseley Plans
London dispatches from February 6 report spies sent to Khartoum to ascertain General Gordon’s fate as General Wolseley is urged to move quickly. British forces totaling about ten thousand at Mediterranean stations are available, with artillery and engineers, while cabinet ministers debate pursuit options and the possibility of reopening the Berber route. In Egypt the mood is somber, with rumors of massacres and a call for greater cooperation, and Arabi Bey is linked to Gordon’s downfall in a controversial London tale.
