London, Feb. 9

Per Press Bureau.—Cairo reports that the enemy's losses, in the attackon the Canal were heavier thau were at first supposed. It is difficult to estimate the number, owing-to Wic wide area of the fighting, but over five hundred killed, including six drowned, have been found and buried. Of 65;2 prisoners a- hundred . were wounded. Deserters a:e constantly surrendering. The four Turks who crossed the canal have given themselves up. The Turkish army is in full retreat eastwards, and theno are now no enemy forces' Jwithin twenty miles of the canal, and even at that distance only small rearguards remain and they, are retread ing steadily.. The retreat is probably due to botli discouragement over defeat and lack cf water in the desert. Whether they will attempt a second attack cannot jet be determined.
