Fillowing is General Allison's report;
Persistent native reports existing during
the past few days that Arab Pasha was re-
firing from Kafr.el- Dewar upon Da-
man, have determined upon n
reconnaisonce to- ascertain clearly whether
Arab Pasha held his original position,
strongly defended. The column.commenced
to advance at 4:45 p. M, from the advance
picket of Remleh, the lines moving by both
banks of the Mahmoudich canal and soon
came into action with the enemy who
were strongly posted in group of palm
"A trees on.thc eastern side aud in strong, de-
fensible houses and gardens on the other
side. These positions were carried at the
time, but Wise, OF the 9Th, and one soldier
were killed. The enemy then took front
position. half mile nearer, upon the east
bank Of the canal among the high crops
and houses and behind the irregular bank
of the canal. From this position, also, the
enemy were driven with great loss. ! nc
companied the eighth column myself As

as rapidly as possible until !
ieac led point where the rail
way approached nearest the Mahmoudch
canal and then opened muskotry fire
! upon the enemy; leaving the banks Of the
| canal. Two nine FOUNDERS were dragged
out on the embankment and came into ac-
Ation against the enemy's guns, the forty

followed up by throwing four
companies still more to my lett upon the
banks q nd across the canal, thus attaining
the position wished, and forming diago
nal line across both the canal and railway.
3 The enemy retired slowly before us, as the
fire OF their seven.pounders and nine
meter guns were speedily got under control
by. our artillery. The object Of my recon.
noisance was attained and | determined to
Withdraw. This movement was carried out
with perfect regularity and precisiona The
troops fell back by alternate companies
with the regularity of II field day. Every
attempt by the enemy to advance was
crushed by the beautiful precision OF the
forty-pounder and the steady firing of the
nine-pounders Tho losses OF the enemy
appear to have been very great. They were
very desperate. They made no attempt to
follow up our withdrawal. The recon,
aDlSan's result was was all success co and
wish. regret to state our loss was some
what heavy. Lieutenant Wise was one of
! the most promising officers | ever met.
The total loss was four killed and twenty.
nine wounded.
