BRITISH IN YEMEN.
HOSTILITY OF ARABS. CAPTURE OF A MISSION. THREATENED WITH DEATH. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received 12.5 am.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, Sept. 18. There is no further news regarding the result of the fighting recently reported at Hodeida, on the coast of Yemen, in Southern Arabia. It is believed that reinforcements have already arrived. A small British mission which was sent into the interior to the Iman of Yemen has been captured by Sheiks at Bajil. Although the lives of the members were threatened their release is probable. A cable message from London dated September 18 stated that 300 Arabs attacked Hodeida, the principal port of Yemen, in Southern Arabia. Indian troops with difficulty expelled the invaders.
