AFFAIRS AT ISNIALIA.

Tel Ell Kehir is attacked. Between Ramleh
and Ma1ama the ground is good for march
ing but the canal is full of dead horses and
The bodies of Arabs. Some of the latter were
thrown there by their comrades, while Others
we're the corpses of men shot while attempt
ing to escape. Judging by the quantity of
clothing, ETC., found abandoned in the
camp the rebels must have been
in great force, but the most of them appear
20 have been merely peasantry, armed with
old muzz,e. loading muskets. Almost all the
prisoners are peasants. All the dead are also
peasants. The doctors have prohibited the
use of the water of Lake Mayama for drink
ing. An artillery general has been captured
