CoNsTANTINoPLE, August IA "A Mussul-
man jurist whom the Sultan frequently
consults explains that Arab Pashs, in so far
as he disobeyed the Caliph, is a rebel, and
may be unceremoniously treated as such
but in SO far as he has been a defender
of Mohammedsn country against the ag-
gressiye designs OF Christians, he has
merely fulfilled the duties of good Mussul-
mar, and consequently the Caliph
cannot make common cause with
England. The Sultan may punish Arabi
Pashs, If some act OF rebellion is proved
against him, but he must not associate him
self with those who wish to crush Arab as
a defender OF Islam. This will greatly in
huence Turkish military action.
