EGYPT AND ABYSSINIA.
Adespatch from Vienna to the Daily Telegraph
says:-"Accounts from Egypt state that the
government is actively completing preparations
for war with Abyssinia. The War Office at
Cairo and the harbor of Suez where the troops
are to embark are very animated. If hostili-
ties are resumed the Egyptian forces will be
divided into two armies-offensive and de-
fensive, the former to be composed of 5000
men and the latter of 10000. The
offensive army will be directed on the
Egyptian harbor of Arkilso, near Adua, the
capital OF Abyssinia, and the defensive army
will take up two intrenched positions-one at
Gasim, near the Rabal River, and the other ut
Bahia, on the Render River, thus commanding
the two main roads of Abyssinia leading from
the North to the Soudan. Gordon Pacha will
command the defensive army" On the other
hand despatch from Alexandria contradicts
the report of the Vienna correspondent of tho
Daily Telegraph, stating that a telegram had
been received from Alexandria to the
effect that the British and French Consuls Mt
Massowah have summoned King John of
Abyssinia to allow Gordon Pacha to return to
Egypt without hindrance. The despatch
says :-"There is no British Consul ut Masso-
wah No news has been received Of Gordon
Pacha since he returned to Debratabor at King
Johns request, and it is not yet time for letters
to arrive from him. The report of strained rela-
tions between Egypt and Abyssinia is greatly
exaggerated. No troops have left Cairo and
none are preparing to leave, except one bat
talon which Gordon Pacha requested in his
last communication" The Standards Caro-
despatch says that special meeting of the
Council of Ministers was held yesterday, the
khedive presiding, in consequence of de-
spatches having been received stating that two
chiefs, acting under the Khedivcs orders, had
traced Gordon Pacha to Suiani, where they
found him In good health, but were prevented
from bringing back any letters from him. King
John, with powerful army, had Como to Con
dar. Tho Egyptian officer commanding at

Has About, means to attack that post.

crate counsels, far as circumstance
