IsMALIA, August 2S-Only six Arabs
were found on the field OF battle, but inside
of Ramsco were found several small pyra-
mids OF slores freshly erected, beneath which
dead natives were probsbly buried. Though
the engagement was not serious, far so as
hard fighting is concerned, the soldiers
acted splendidly. The difficulties of the
groend were fearful, while the heat Of tae
sun defes exsggeralion. General Wolseiy's
object has been achieved, and we have
gained much more fresh water for the canal
had been carefully damned. AT Rsmses We
lost good many horses and mnles and The
remainder are fatigued and need rest badly
The railway has been repaired as far as
Ramses.
TROOPS CONTINUALLY ADVANCING.
The troops are continually advancing, and
it will not be long before Tel Ell Kiber is at
tackled. Between Kamses aud Maxama the
ground is good for marching. The canal is
full of dead horses and bodies of Arabs.
Ssme OF the later were thrown there by
their comrades, while others are corpses Of
men shot while attempting TO escape.
Judging by the quantity OF clothing, etc,
found in the abandoned camp, The rebels
must have been in great force, but most of
them appear to have been mere pessantry,
armed with old muzzle-loading muskets
Almost all Of the prisoners are peasants.
The doctors prohibited 'he use OF water OF
Lake Maxsma for drinking.
