The nows of tho first brush botwoen Sir Gorald Graham's troops at Suakim and Oaraan Digna'e Arabs was not altogother reassuring. The prolonged action fought on Friday last; can in no sonso bo callod a victory for Iho Arabs, who soem to have retained possession of tho field in which tko fighting took place. The reports of tho correspon dents are, as usual, rather confusing, but it is not difficult to imagine what took place. " Loaving Suakim," writos the ''Tele graph " correspondent, " aftor daybreak with his whole force, excepting the Shrop shire General Graham at half-past eight reoccupiod Baker's old zoroba, in a sheltered valley between two hills. The position was further strengthened by tho construction of four sandbag redoubts, and leaving the Surrey Regiment, with two Krupps, in tho camp, and placing one Gardner in each redoubt, General Graham advanced tnrough the pass into the wide plain, encircled by hills, in the centro of which stands the village of Hasheen. The Indian contingent deployed and 'advanced on the villago, sup ported by- -the Guards 'in square in their roar. , On either flank the cavalry were skirmishing over the bush-covered plain, whilo groups of tho cneny, in uumbors from ten to a hundred strong, wore swarming all round, on the slopes of the hills, in the thick undergrowth in the valley, and among tho mimosa bushes scattered ovortho plain. A hill immediately in front of the lino of march hold by the Arab? was cleared by tho Marines, Berks, and Sikhs. Tho Arabs fell back, onty to rally on the left of the hill. A charge was ordered by the Bengal Lancers, \\ hen a disagrecablo incident took place. The Atabs, instead of flying, stood their ground with extraordinary boldness, and charged tho cavalry as they advanced. A small body of the rebels, about forty in number, turned upon their pursuer?, and charged with tho utmost bravery. An old sheikh, mounted upon a camel, led tho Arabs on, waving his spear frantically, and his followers, nothing loth, rushed around tho Ben^aleso flank, getting to their rear. When the collision camo they practised tho same tactics as at El Teb, throwing them selves on tho ground and slashing at the horses' legs with thoir swords.
