MESOPOTAMIA

BRITISH SUCCESSES REPORTED. DELHI, August 23. ■Advices from Bagdad report that a concentration of tribes at Baquba was heavily bombed, with good results, A' small British column operating the barrage came into contact with the Arabs, who were repulsed with the bayonet. The enemy was subsequently routed by Indian Lancers. Our casualties were light, but the enemy casualties were heavy. It was difficult to observe owing to dust. There is no change elsewhere. Trains are running regularly to Hillah and Shargat.
