A despatch from London says; Reuter's eoro3spondent with British headquarters in Palestine, . telegraph- ing last Wednesday, says: 'Within a fortnight of the inception of. the British offensive the Turkish army, occupying apparently an impregnable line, strongly fortified and provided with guns,.. ammunition and supplies, has been driven headlong. from its dew fences and chased across country. Its losses have been enormous, "The feature of Thursday's fighting was a brilliant charge by the Mid- land Counties Yeomanry, The enemy had been clinging tenaciously to a position above Mughair, beyond Wadi Rubin, where he. had hastily en- trenched himself. Supported by field and machine guns, 'the mounted troops charged across the swelling up- land straight upon the enemy. They were received with a heavy fire, but nothing could stop them. ' They cut right through the Turks, sabering, right and left. "When the enemy found themselves. surrounded eleven hundred of them 'laid dowa,,.their arms. The Turk is fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly outclassed- "The total number of prisoners verified since October 81 now exceeds 9,000."

The Government troops are said to have, a fairly plentiful supply of food and ammunition and to be capable of 1 holding out for some days, CLEARING UP THE REMNANTS OFo ERMAN FORCES IN AFRICA London, Nov. 18.—An official state- ment of the campaign in East Africa to -night says; "On the Makondo plateau (German East Africa) we oc- cupied Nviti, with slight opposition, and Chiwata after a sharp engage- ! ment. Forty-six' German Europeans and 425 Askaris were captured. Since Nov. 1 our columns have accounted for on all fronts .a total of 473 Ger- man Europeans and 1,072 Askaris killed or captured, two naval guns, 4,1 and 88 machine guns, as well as a quantity of material. The enemy has been driven from the whale of the Maher a area." GERMAN WARSHIPS CHASED TO PORT. London, Nov. 18,—German light cruisers, which fled through Helgo- land BigI't yesterday before British warships of similar type, were pur- sued to within thirty miles of Helgo- and, where they came under the pro- tection of the German battle fleet and mine fields, the Admiralty announc- ed to -day.
