General Town shend, the British commander, in the face of the arrival of Turkish rein forcements, again has withdrawn his forces to a position lower down the Tigris River. While this will prove a disappoint ment to the United Kingdom, those who know the country through which the British have forced their way. are not surprised that every precaution is be ing taken to prevent a reverse, or even check in the march on Mesopotamia. The country is very inhospitable and especially at this time of the year, it is necessary that the army should keep near the river, where there is a plenti ful supply of water and where it can be reprovisloned and supplied with mu nitions and guns by the heterogeneous fleet which accompanies it. The de feat inflicted on the Turks previously appeared from all accounts ta have been a serious one. Of the four Turk l.ih divisions engaged in the fighting, one virtually has been wiped out. General Townshend. according to the first account of the battle, commanded only one British division, but lie prob- ably will be bettfr supplied with guns than his opponents as long as lie keeps near the river, and has the assistance of armed steamers and tugs which have been converted into floating forts. It is expected that he is receiving re inforcements which will enable him shortly to resume his advance on Bag dad. As the season advances his progress is expected to become less difficult. Heretofore the British forcu has had to contend with the intense heat and lack of water, but the rivers are now rising and there should soon bo plenty of water for the men and horses and for the purposes of navigation.
