HOT BATTLE.
Waged Between British BIuejackets
And Dervishes In West Africa.

Z" LONDON, April 2e.-The British ma
val commander at Alden, reports the
capture of Il1ig in Italian West Africa
from the Dervishes by British blue
Jackets who co-operated with an 1tal-
ian force, lost three killed and six
wounded in the fight The action, he
reports, was fought at close quarters.
The Dervishes defended their towers
in a determined manner, but the blue
Jackets drove them out. Because OF
a heavy. surf running difficulty was
encountered in landing. The debarka-
ton was finally made in the Gul1ule
river after two hours works
The British attacked the enemy on
the flank and rear with complete sue
cess. The stronghold was stormed
in fine style. The Dervishes lost heav-
lily.
The Italian and British flags were
hoisted side by side over 1llig, which
will be handed over, if possible. to the
Mijertin tribe, which is loyal to Italy.
The position of the Dervishes, the
report concludes, was surprisingly
strong and practically unassailable
from the front.
