London, june 1st.-The following official
despatch has been published regarding the
operations in the Dardanelles sOn Friday
we detected the engineers of she enemy
working under one of our positions, where
upon we exploded a counter mine very sue
cesstully. The same evening the Turks
erected a Judgment in these vacant trenches,
but our troops counter-attacked with bayo-
net and recaptured the firing line trenches
and the Turks in the support trenches sur
rendered. Meanwhile the Turks shelled our
troops and heavy columns of the enemy
advanced to make good their temporary
local success, but being visible in the bright
moonlight our guns were able to bring a
cross fire to bear upon them at aocaratelv
known ranges, the consequence being that
the Turkish advance became demoralized
and their second line of bomb throwers flung
the missiles into their first line, completing
the rout. The enemy's casualties we're a
minimum of 1000 while ours were 800. On
Saturday night the Turks twice attacked the
new post we won the night before, but with
out making any impression. On Friday
night the French captured an important re-
doubt on the extreme left of the Turkish
line and consolidated the ground captured.
The Turks fired heavily on the new position,
but did not advance to attack it, being
checked by the artillery. They attacked
the left flank of one French division, but
were beaten back.
