SANDSTORMS CAUSE TROUBLE. SCOTTISH TERRITORIALS' TRIUMPHANT CHARGE. By Cable.—Tress Association. — Copyriglit. (Received July 28, 10 a.m.) LONDON, July 27. Renter's correspondent at the Dardanelles, describing the fighting, as already cabled, says that the intense heat was accentuated by sandstorms raised by a levanter which swept cross the peninsula. The Turks are using high explosives, but their growing inferiority suggests that they are experiencing great difficulty in maintaining supplies. The "Central News" states:—"The Scottish Territorials, triumphantly cheering, charged the labyrinth of Turkish trenches. They carried three lines, and were ready to storm Achi Baba itself." When asked why they went on, one lad replied: "We thought we might as well finish the whole business at once."
