FIGHTING NEAR ADEN.

BRITISH FORCE EXTRICATES ITSELF FROM A DIFFICULT POSITION.

LONDON, July 9th. 11.10 p.m. The Press Bureau reports that several thousand Turka, with twenty guns, and a large number of Arabs, attacked a small British force at Lanej, on the hinterland of Aden, on the 4th instant. The British force maintained its position till night- fall, when part or Lanej was ablaze. The columa marching to Lanej to reinforce our men was delayed by water difficulties and heavy going. It was therefore decided that the force at Lanej should retire, The retirement was successfully carried out on the morning of the 5th inst. and the little force joined the relief column. As, however, the latter was suffering from the effects of heat and shortage of water, while Arab transport followers had deserted, it was decided that the whole force should fall back on Aden. The enemy made no | attempt to follow.

Our losses included thres British officers.

A wounded Turkish major and thirteen Turks were taken prisoners.
