WAR SCENES AND TOPICS
rDEAT HETTATN AM EGYPT

The distinguished Belgian publcist VI. de
Iayeleye propounds opinions on Egypt and india, when
are invested with current interest. lie holds that
England should seize Egypt, and expect in time to lose
India Egypt in the hands OF the English, he says,
would recover the splcndor Of her antiquity. With
public works the extent OF arabic land the numbers of
the population, and the revenue would all augment.
Thanks TO the anneXatiOns conducted by Col Gordon,
Egypt now extends 10 the great lakes OF Central Africa
and she has thus become, in point OF territorial
extension one Of the largest countries in the
world Only let her pass under the protection
OF England, instantly the slavetrade is suppressed,
steam navigation connects the interior Of
the continent with the Mediterranean and civilization
and commerce penetrate into an immense region Of adj
mrabe fertility and by reason Of its altitude, habaole

the English advancing towards the Zambezi Already
they have station Lake Nyassa soon they will have
others on Lake Tansanyks and Lake Victoria. The In
ternational Exploration Society," founded under the
pices of the King Of the glns will send into the
ry travellers emgraus, artisans Of every kind. II has
been shown that graphic line could easily be estab
bsbed from Cairo to Natal and the Cape. Lieutenant
Cameron thinks that railways uniting the center Of
Africa 10 the coast would not be long in paying their
expenses IT, therefore England consented to fix her
attention III this direction, an unbroken cur
rent OF civilization would speedily cross Africa
from andria to the Cape along the line OF the high
table-lands. The English would thus erect Tor them-
selves an empire as extensive that of India with yir
GIN lands of far greater fertility with more agreeable
climate aud completely free from long droughts As Tor
India necessarily England will lose 1t IN the end The
reason is plain say nothing of the danger OF the ap

nounced by members OF il. to require that Govern
ment to observe all its international obligations and
to treat the citizens of the United States and their
property in the same manner that it is required to
treat the subjects of other great nations The
good effect of this policy has already been illustrated
IN one case. When it reported to the Secretary
of state that the authorities in Cuba were levylng
war-lOan upon American citizens, and not upon the
subjects of any other nation the Secretary at once
addressed communication to the Spanish Govern
ment demanding that American citizens in this re-
spect as well as IN all others, should be treated
with the consideration the subjects of other
nationaties. The result that the abuse com
planned of was Immediately corrected and that
American citizens in Cuba are now exempt from
these war leyies.

TIE PACIFIC COAST MILITIA t. BIZ CALLED OUT
THE RErU TON AT NEw-YORK DISCUSSED.
fBr TELEGRAPH 10 THE TETBUsE.l
WAsHINGToN. July 13-The Cabinet at its meeting
today decided that If the duty of the President
to call upon Gov. Ferry of Washington Territory
for vounteertroops to assist in the SUPPRESSION of tho
Indian revolt now in progress in the Northwest. He
is TO be requested to enlist 200 men, and will
be- also informed that 800 more may possibly be
needed. This call is made in accordance with
authority given to the President by law to call ont
the militia of the States and Territories in case of an
emergency. The equipment, subsistence and trans
portatlon of these troops will be reimbursed
out of the army appropriation when it is
made, but the pay Of the men will have
to be provided for by a special act Of Congress.
In accordance with the advice of Gov. Mccormick,
who once had occasion to call out the militia of Ari-
IONA, great care will be taken not only To have ev-
erything IN regard to the enlistment Of these men
strictly regular so that the evidence which Congress
will demand the basis of legislation shall be
complete and satisfactory but also TO have all eX-
penses attending their enlistment closely watched.
Ii has been the experience of the United States Gov
eminent. when the militia has been called out for
frontier duty former occasions, that the most
reasonable bills of expenses have been presented, in
yovng four five times the cost Of regu-
lar troops under similar circumstances. This
militia is expected to be equipped and ready for duty
within ten days, while the Second Regiment of In
fantry, which is about TO start from st. Louis for
the of the Indian troubles, and which numbers
only about three hundred and sixty men, will be two
or three weeks in reaching its destination.
Some questions of discipline at tho Annapolis
Naval Academy were also talked about IN the Cabi-
net to-day, but they understood not to have been
matters Of much public interest.
Among the subjects discussed at the meeting to-
day, the reduction in the New York Custom
House. No conclusion was reached. The discussion
upon the question of sustaining the rccOmmen-
dations of the so-called Richard Grant
White Commission, as opposed to those
Of the Jay Commission, in regard to the
extent to which the force of employees can
be reduced without drtriment to the needs Of the
service. The White Commission have reported that
the reduction recommended by the Jay Commission
", uld be too sweeping and that about sixty more
persons should be retained.
Foreign affairs were not made n subject Of at
tention, either with reference to appointments
abroad, or concerning relations with SPAN or
Mexico.

A SINGULAR Circumstance ATTENDING THE EVENT

received last night from Secretary sherman an
nouucing that the steamer had run upon rock, and
il had been subsequently beached to save hel
from sinking. The matter has caused unusual
comment in all official circles to-day, owing
TO the fact that the chief representatives
Of three branches of the service charged especially
with all efforts for the safety OF coast navigation
were represented in the party namely the Chlef oi
fine Coast Survey the Secretary of the Lighthouse
Board. and the officers i'll charge OF Life-oaylhg
Stations The Grant is of the largest OF the rev.
enue-cutters being OF $50 tons burden and drawing
nine feet of water. She running at the Tine

marked the rock on which the vessel struck had
been broken away by some passing vessel. Inc
damage to the vessel, which was abandoned ny the
party on the beach, has not yet been ascertalned.
