Orr ALEXANDRIA, July 15.-An incendi-
airy fire 10 raging In the center Of Alexandra
aud covers an AREA mile square. ar
The bulk Of the Egyptian army Is at Rosll-
la,torty miles northeast Of Alexandria, and at
Damanhour, thirty-eight miles southeast Of
Alexandria. The soldiers had jpined in
footing the city. The fire Of the Invincible
was very effective against Fort Rails ell Tin.
Two twelve-ton guns were found reared oil
their ends, In consequence of having been
struck by shells. ..rms-.. ....
heavy LOSS OF LIFE,
The correspondent Of the Telegraph says
took al open boat and went close along
side. found all the batteries facing the sea
destroyed and the guns dismounted. An
Arab informed me that many hundred per-
SONS were killed In Alexandria. An expIo-
sion occurred in the middle of the fort, kill.
Ing everybody inside. The lighthouse will
probably soon fall. Arabs informed us that
the noise of bursting shells was like thunder
and they declared that hundreds were killed
In distant streets. They stated that the OBJ
stinacy Of the defense was due-to the fact
that the batteries were manned by negro Mo-
hammedans. They estimate the loss Of life
among the soldiers and town folks At two
thousand, 80 p .4.
.-.. NAVAL OFFICERS ACCOUNTS.
The naval officers witnessing the combat
express the opinion that with the exception
Of the Temerai-e aud the gunboats, the En-
glish ships have not distinguished themselves
very greatly as arillerisis, many shells from |
the Monarch, lnvincible, and Superb falling
seriously short. Nearly half the missiles
seemed to fall in the water. The guns like /
wise were served very slowly, giving the
Egyptians i.me to recover from their sur |
prise and regain courage. The foreign Off |
GERS think that lighter guns more quickly |
served would have ended the action sooner. |
They give the palm to Lord Charles Beres-
ford, on the Condor, who under heavy fire |
manGuvred admirably, infictIpg heavy loss.
AMERICANS pIssUsrEp.
The Heralds telegram, dated on board the |
U. S. S. Quinnebaso, says everybody on the
American ship Is much disappointed at the |
inaction of the English ships yesterday.
They say that Americans would have done |
the work in half the time.
