THE FIGHTING IN EGYPT.
GOOD WORK BY INDIAN TROOPS
CAIRO, Saturday
It is understood that an Arab regiment attacked Toussoum. A Sikh regiment withheld their fire, and allowed the enemy to conio to close ciuai-ters. They then vigorously attacked, completely routing the enemy. , _~ , The enemy employed heavy guns, and there was much expenditure of ammunition, with little result. A German major was shot at Serapeum. He was found carrying a white flag folded inside a special wallet. The streets are full of newly-arrived Australasians, and the city has not lost its gaiety. Crowds of natives waited at the station for hours, m, the hopes of seeing .the Turkish prisoners. High native dignitaries, who were hitherto pro-German, now wholly support the British.
