NEWS OF BITTLE! NEWS

OF BATTLE!!

The First Kassassin Battle.

A graphic description of the first charge of the British forces will be of interest to our readers. It was written to the London Times of Aug. 28th, and begins :—-This has been an eventful day for many of us. It is now half-past ten. A few hours ago the camp preseated its ordinary animated but orderly appearance. Ofticera strolled along the canal banks, watching with placid en- joyment the struggles of blind-folded males and hobbled ‘asses as the muscular soldiers dragged them through the filthy flood. Up over the plain below the embankment s‘retehed long lines of guards, dragoons, hussars and artillery, each with picketed horses feeding quietly in the rear. Now the camp is once more deserted,

VOL 1L-NO, 93,

the British casualties were roughly esti- mated at one hundred killed and wounded. ‘It was then that the famous’ words were written, ‘* Had the Highland brigade come up and supported them, it is said that the | British could ere now have captnred’ Tel-el- ‘Kebir.” The enemy’s'force in the engage ment numbered 13,000 men, with twelve guns. Five guns and many prisoners were captured. The British during the day ad- vanced within range of Tel-el-Kebir. Gen- eral Wolseley is at the front. Tele- graphing from Kassassin on Sunday, ,the same correspondent, says: ~In the en- gagement yesterday, besides the Egyptians , who advanced from Tel-el-Kebir a force of 1.500 men crossed the desert from Sahaliyeh ‘and operated on the right flank of the British. These troops continued the -en- gagement after the Telel-Kebir foree had retired. They had a Kropp battery which \they handled well. The British heavy

eas alry pushed them hard and finally cap- every |tured one Krupp gun, with the team and

available man marching to the front. Other | equipment, and a green standard, which troops are hastening up, the commissariat | was taken from the hands of a dead stan- officers fortfying themselves with the very idard bearer belonging to one of Arabi

sacks and boxes which they were prepared to deliver to the emaciated soldiers. who

have done such good fighting on empty | reach

stomachs, and the Bengal Lancers, wit

loud cries and sounding thwhacks, bring | their lean beasts over the canal in ‘order to |

Pasha’s crack regiments. The Salahiyeh ogonatt were routed, but the others

Tel-el Kebir in fairly good order. The. British loss was comparatively small, perhaps eighty in all, killed and wounded. Arabi’s plan was well de-

‘aid in the defence of the depot, The report | vised, but required better troops to carry

is that we have sustained a check and that General Graham ?s falling back from Kassas-' sin. I+ appeared that General Drury Lowe had hastily ridden out this morning at dawn on hearing that Kassassin was attacked. It ‘proved a false alarm, and the troopers re- turned to their postponed breakfast. When I had hardly heard thé news, and before tlre gallant General had tasted his coffee, 2 message came’ from General Graham | that the enemy was again menacing Kassassin ‘mn force. Orders were at once given to jalvance. The staff officers strode alout ‘the dirty waiting room at Mahsamah station, bread and coffee cup ir band, and in a shert |time a stream of gallar:t Guards poured out ‘to battle; the Household Cavalry and ‘Fourth Dragoons, with four guns; N’ bat- jtery, A Brigade, Royai Horse Artillery, ‘your correspondent ocenpying an independ- ent position on the left flank. Asa rule there is nothing more‘terrible yet. inspirit- ing than the roll of cannon wheels. Once heard, memory suggests it at will. It is like the muffled crush of military music at the opening of some grand march. But here these ponderous guns are dragged noisclessly, soft as camel’s footfall over sand and clouds of fawn-eolored dust, thronghi| which forms of gigantic horsemen moved like ghosts faintly outlined in the dim dis- tanee The force moved forward in colamn of treops and at first in echelon extended from the right. Far before us westward I saw through the telescope three batteries ‘of hostile artillery at least five miles away, pounding apparently at our videttes, the shells, however, falling short. About four miles off was a small body of English horse- men slowly retiring. The Guards halted and dismounted, while their horses rest- leasly lifted their feet from the burning sand. The eye piece of the telescope be- came almost too hot to apply to the eye, and many men crept under the bellies of the horses for a little shade from the noon- day sun. I never could have imagined such heat. A pull at the water bottle was the sole recourse, and this gave imme- diate relief. The General appeared to j think the cannonade merely a feint, and he ‘extended his force in line, looking north- ward, as if to meet a flanking movement. In the far distance I saw the smoke of a burning village. No attack commenced for hours. We lay and stood there, and such of the officers as were near me ex- | pressed a belief that nothing would happen, About four o’clock the order was given to return to breakfast. Later Arabi attacked. _In the evening, after severe fighting and long sustained artillery and rifle firing, the enemy were completely defeated.

The Second Kassassin Battle.

This battle was fought last Saturday, and as yet, no definite accounts have come in. The lesses on the British side have been variously stated. Some accounts place the loss at none killed and only a few wounded. Other papers range from fifty killed and wounded up to eight huan- dred. The fact that the hospitals at Isinailia, two days ago, contained four hundred and fifty wounded men, and that the hospital service at the front, near Kass- assip, was taxed to its utmost, shew that the pumber wounded is not insignificant. The loss in English killed seems to have becn not very heavy. As far as we can gather the following gives a fair synopsis of the different accounts. One correspondent writes :— After six o'clock on Saturday morning the Bengal Lancers came in with the news that the enemy were approaching im great force on the north side of the railway. Our army was at once put in motion, and by seven an artillery duel began. Arabi’s troops, of

jit out, although the Egyptians fought

better than they had heretofore. Satur- day's repulse of Arabi Pacha is considered by some as a complete success for the Eng- lish, who had never calculated wpor his attacking them in snch a manner. The wonnded state that the English right was attacked by five battalions of infantry, with five guns and 500 cavalry, under the command of Mahmoud Pacha Sami, from Salahiyeh. The enemy had altogether 15,- 000 men,

The Position of the Armies.

Sir Garnet Wolseley's objective point was Zagazig whence is the direet line to Cairo. Cairo is 99 miles from Ismailia, and 150 from Suez. Ismailia, the base. of Wolse- ley’s operations, is atown only eight years of age, having been entirely created by the Caual. I: is European in appearance, the majority of the foreign residents being Frecch. The journey by rail to Cairo from Ismailia wa Zagazig, used te occupy about seven hours. Zagazig, a little be- yond Tei-el-Kebir, is an almost purely native town of 40,000 inhabitants, is separ- ated from Ismailia by 47 miles of desert,an arid shrubbless waste of ever-shifting sand. Kassassin is a lock in the Freshwater Capal leading from Zagazig to the Suez Caral. Arabi took up his pésition at Tel-el-Kebir, to the south of Kassassin, and from that extended his lines northward to Kishlak, thence across the canal so as to command both it and the railroad. Direetly, to the north of this position is Ei-Karam, where he has concentrated a large force, whose object is to take General Wolseley on the flank. From El-Karaim and Salh- hiyeh the enemy advanced on Saturday morning, to be met by the British troops, whose advanced outposts are close to Tel- e!-Kebir. The Egyptians were spread over tae entire ridge, and a mile and a half up the line was an armoured train, bringi reinforcements from Cairo, as it brought forty pieces of artillery on Friday night. The English Horse Artillery was posted in extended order along Sir Garnot’s line for half a mile on the north side of the railway, so as to eut off the advance from El-Karaim. The whole front then was something over three miles. The lines which Arabi held at Tel-el-Kebir were en- ormously strong, mounted with the best Krupp guns, extending no less than eight miles, and were defended by black regi- ments, twelve or fifteen thousand regulars, the same number of irregulars, fifty guns, and a few cavalry. When Wolseley reaches Cairo he wil] have charge both of a road and a railway to Suez. At Suez, the roadstead is able to accommodate 500 vessels. The town is in communication with all the Egyptian lines, and Cairo, Alexandria, Dainietta, Rosetta and Ismailia can each be reached by train. The importance of capturing Zagazig is felt ‘when we re- remember that from that place radiate the lines to Cairo, Alexandria and Suez. It commands, too, the fresh water supply; for Snez receives its supply from the Canal at Zagazig. This will explain the reason of Arahbi's endeavor to hold the place, and of Wolseley’s to secure possession of the same,

Wolseley’s Army in Fgypt.

Sir Garnet Wolseley has 17 infantry bat- talions under his command, besides those which come from India. This wili give a total of 14,220 men and officers. The cav- alry brigade is composed of 2,292 officers and men; connected with these is a battery of horse artillery. ~ The Royal Artillery and the Engineers accompany the army corps in about the usval proportion. In the aggregate, the force which has been
