General Wolseley's Report. LONDON, Septembner 9.
London, September A despatch has been received to-day from Sir Garnet Wolseley, timed noon, regarding the engagement fought this morning near Kassassin. Sir Garnet reports that the enemy in great force were observed reconnoitring the British outposts at daybreak. The order was at once given for them to be attacked, and after a somewhat brief engagement they were repulsed with very heavy loss, and four guns were captured. The loss on our side was slight. After their defeat the enemy retreated to their lines at Telelkiber, their artillery meanwhile firing at long range upon the British forces. The latter have since returned to Kassassin, where the head-quarters of the army now are.
