Americans in Ottoman government?[edit]

Hello, I have just added some information to this very informative article from a 2017 book on Sudanese dress you might find interesting. - Upon rereading the article, I have two comments: Do the sources really say there were Americans in leading positions in the Ottoman government of the time? And is it certain that Slatin Pasha is pictured in a plundered jibba? After all, he is said to have been a member of the Mahdi's personal guard during his captivity and could have had his own jibba, given to him as uniform?
