London, May 26lh. An Official connu-
n~ication, issued late last night concerning
the operations in Egypt, says: Since the
enemy air attacks on Port SAID, the Royal
Flying Corps in Egypt has given the enemy
little rest. -Four British machine have
heavily bombarded enemy advance posts.
Forty bombs were dropped resulting in
buildings and q plant at Ell Himma being
seriously damaged, and he water Danks at
Rodbsalem beng smashed. This will upset
the whole plan of the enemy, as since tue
destruction of his drilling plant at Jifiptfl by
our patrols, he had set great store Oh he
RodhsNlem wHterwogks. 1t has now been
learned that the coldmns of troops which
suffered by our bombing attack at lei Arish
on the 18th were Germans This probably
explains their hasty retaliation by dropping
bombs on Port Said killing civilians. Fur
ther details show that two British monitors
and a sloop fired "a heavy projectiles in the
attack on 81 Arish, causing the enemy camp
to scatter in all directions among the palm
groves near the shore. The bombardmen6
lasted two hours and the strong fort in the
town was reduced TO ruins. The enemy
completely demoralized, made no reply to
our fire.
