Indian Troops. Aided by Fire of
Cruiser, Assault Shcik-
Seyd Heights.
SIX GUNS ARE TAKEN

Special Cable DespotcA TO the suS.
LONDON, Nov. I5.-The following an
nounccment was made by the Admiralty
tonight:
Successful operations have been car
ried out by Indian troops, assisted by
the cruiser Duke OF Edinburgh. against
the Turkish fort, Turba, situated on the
rocky heights eastward Of Bab-el-Man-
deb Strait close to the boundary line be-
tween Turkish territory and the Alden
protectorate. The peninsula consists Of
a number of rocky heights Joined to the
mainland by low sandy plain. the
greater portion of which is covered at
low water by a shallow lagoon.
The guns OF the fort command the
isthmus connecting the peninsula with
the mainland. Three battalions OF
troops landed in the face OF opposition
under cover OF the fire OF the Duke Of
Edinburgh. which had previously dis
abled the Turba forts. and assisted dur
ing the operations after the landing. A
battalion and half OF the infantry
attacked the enemys position.
They were opposed by we'll concealed
artillery and infantry fire. but when
the hills commanding Manheli were oc-
cupied the position was weakened.
About 200 of the enemy escaped on
camels or boats. Six were reported
killed and the majority of the remainder
were wounded and made prisoners. The
forts were occupied and large amount
of munitions and six field guns were
captured. The heavy guns were put
out OF action. probably by the fire of
the Duke OF Edinburgh.
our casualties were one officer and
fifteen men wounded and four men
killed We had no naval casualties"
