THE YEMEN RESURRECTION.
When the Khedive perceived that the Porte wN
determined to deal alene with the Yemen insurrec-
ton he deprecated and demonstrated against the
Idea OF sending powerful force against it, and
pointed out that couple OF regiments would have
been ample for the object In view. The Porte, how.
ever, sent eight battalions OF infantry, with due
proportion OF cavalry and artlllery-a force which
has had the best possible effect In impresslny the
Arabs with the power OF the Sultan, and In reestab
fishing prestige, which, for lack Of proper tend
Ing had sadly dropped OF late years. Now, how
ever 1t altogether eclipses that of the Khedve nos
outstanding the pains he has taken to cultivate hts
own influence in the HedJaz, and ne not unnaturaly
feels deeply chagrned at finding himself supplanted
again In the sacred land. where mis- influence waa
