THE ENEMY'S POSITION AND STRENGTH. Press Association.—Electric Tclep-aph.—Copyright. London, December 14.» In his statement regarding the intentions of the British Government, Mr. Goschen said that in any event Suakim would have to be relieved without delay. General Grenfell's discretion was quite unfettered. Suakim, December 16. The enemy are answering the shelling from the forts by a, hot musketry tire, but so far little harm has been done. Two military aeronauts have started from the city to reconnoitre the enemy's position and ascertain their strength. The cavalry who reconnoitred the enemy's trenches to-day report them to be very strong, and that the followers of the rebel leader are numerous. The country is open and free from bush.
