London, Nov. 3.
The British Admiralty announces the arrival at Akaba, © port in Arabia on the Red Sea, of H. M. light cruiser Minerva. She found the place occupied by soldiers, one of whom apparently was a Ger man, and by some armed natives. The Minerva shelled the fort and the troops. The town was evacuated and the landing party proceeded to destroy the fort, barracks, post office and stores. There were no British casualties, while the enemy sustained some Joss.
