Yet Made.
The Decisive Action Postponed for
Several Days.
lsNAiLIA, Sept. 4.-The delay lin the ar
rival at kassasin of expected achievements
has so far disconnected Gen. Wolseley's
plans that it is not thought likely that the
general engagement expected to take place
to-day or Tuesday will occur for several
days. Gen. Wolseley's force available for an
immediate advance is entirely insufficient for
an attack on Arabi's strong positions. An
officer of the sixticlh rifles. who has seen
considerable service and who has just ar
rived from the front, states that without
large acccssons to his force Gen. Woseley
can not hope to make n successful advance
and that he is now so hampcrcd by the de.
iiciencics of the transport service as to be un.
able to utilize all the troops he las on this
line. Gen. Wolselcy reports that the health
OF the troops at the front is good Other re-
ports from reliable sources state that dyscn-
terry, diarrhpa and sunstroke are very pre-
valcnt, and judging from the number of sick
now here and arriving by train the number
Of ineffective is evidently very large
