The Convention still UnsignedTurkish Officers joining Arabi.— The Enemy in Action. London, September 9.
Lord Dufferin distrusts tho wording of the Convention as suggested by Turkey, as well as certain phrases in the proclamation calling on Arabi to surrender, and before signing lie has referred the matter to the Home Government. Arabi's forces at Telelkibir seem to be acquiring courage, and they have now taken possession of, and occupied a village near our position at Kassassin. It is reported that a number of Turkish officers have joined the rebel forces. Loxdox, 9th September, 8.35 p.m. Reinforcements of the Guards are to embark for the seat of wav on Tuesday. Loxdox, 10th September, 5.30 p.m. Firing at Kassassain closed at three o'clock. Arabi's forces retreated on Tchelkibir, and reached it in a perfectly oi'derly manner. Their casualties were heavy, but there was no panic or rout. The British loss was 80. The Salakeih Contingent with their battery of Krupp guns attacked our right flank in a splendid manner. Arabi's best forces were employed in the engagement.
