THE CRISIS IN EGYPT.
ARABI BEY IN SOLE CONTROL.
He Claims That the KhedIve Is De-
posed and Defies the POrte-Tbe
Dispatch of British Troops De-
manded.

LONDON, May 30.-A dispatch to the Times
from Cairo says "Arabi Bey openly declares
that If the Turks come to Egypt with inten-
tions unfavorable to him, he will resist
them.
"The natives in the deputation which
called on the Khedive yesterday, praying
for the reinstatement of Arab Bey, stated
distinctly that Arab Bey had threatened
that they would be cut to pieces unless he
was reinstated"
a Cairo dispatch to the Standard says
that the military party is greatly incensed at
the terms of the Khedive's communique
reinstating Arab Bey as Minister of War.
They consider themselves insulted by the
passage stating that Arab Bey was only re-
instated to preserve the peace, which the
military otherwise would have broken. A
deputation of officers visited Arab Bey
and demanded as reparation for
the insult the instant deposition of the
Khedive. They stated that they had their
men all we'll in handisnd ready at a moments
notice to march on the Khedive's palace.
Arab Bey succeeded in calming them, and
further stated that the Khedive had def
nitely agreed to leave the settlement of the
pending question to the decision OF the
Sultan.
A Cairo dispatch to the Times says that
all the entrances to the palace were guarded
on Sunday by soldiers, who were all ready
to cut the telegraph line and open the
bridges, in order to destroy communication
with Alexandria.
1t is reported that an Egyptian man-of-
war has laid torpedoes around the anchor
age of the British, French and Italian YES
sells. The latter have shifted their position
and closely watch the Egyptian ship.
Constantinople dispatch to the Times
says that Lord Dufferin, the,English Ambas-
sador, and the Marquis De Noailles, the
French Ambassador, presented to the Porte
on Monday an identical note, recommend
ing the summoning to Constsntinople from
Egypt Of the three military leaders and the
ex President Of the Council to answer for
their conduct.
A dispatch from Alexandria to the Times
says: "The British community here have
appealed to the Consul for greater security
against the disorderly soldiers. The joint
fleet, though able to silence the forts at
Alexandra, can only spare three hundred
men to meet the garrison of three thousand,
who are daily becoming more exasperated."
A Cairo dispatch to the Pail Mail Gazette
SAYS: "The immediate announcement of the
dispatch of troops is indispensable, other
wise nobody can foresee results"
Mr.. Mailer, the British Consul General,
informed the Khedive to-day of the imme-
diate departure of Turkish commissioner
to Egypt. Arab Bey, on learning that the
commits sioner would be instructed to sum-
mons him to Constantinople, stated that he
would disobev any such order.
The Standard S dispatch from Cairo says:
"The British Government has ordered four
men-of-war and a gunboat to proceed from
Suda Bay to Alexandria Arabi Bey has
privately informed the Khedive that he is
already deposed, and that it is arranged that
Prince Hahn shall succeed him."
CAIRO, May 30 Arab Bey is widely cir
culating a statement that he has received
telegram from the Sultan, announcing the
nomination Of Hahn Pasha as Khedive.
