posts, and find that our actions on
Thursday and Friday had far more i'm
portant results than was aware of

tured. MahmOud Febmy, Arab Pasha' 3
Chief Engineer and Military Adviser,
is now prisoner in my camp"
LONDON, August 28.-The News has
the following dispatch
'ALEXANDLIA, August 28.-The
garrison at Meks was reinforced to.day
in consequence of BedOuins having
formed camp on the opposite shore OF
Lake Mareotis. Nothing was done at
Ramleh to-day"

The authorities are unable to under
stand his persistence in holding Kafr-el-
Dwar.
LONDON, August 28.-A despatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Is
MALTA says: "Mahmoud Fehmy was
examined at headquarters. He reports
that much suffering and insubordina'
ton prevail in the Egyptian army"
IsMAILIA, August %. - General
Wolseley and staff will probably start
for the front in two days, or as soon as
their transport can easily be effected by
rail.
The troops are con ntinually advancing
and it will not be long before Tel-el-
Keber is attacked. Between Ramses
and Maxama, the ground is good for
marching, but the canal is full OF dead
horses and bodies OF Arabs. Some OF
the latter were thro wn there by com.
rades, while the others were the corpses
of men shot while attempting to es.
cape. Judging by the quantity oi
clothing, ETC., found in the abandoned
camp, the rebe.s must have been in
great force, but most of them appear tC
have been merely peasantry armed
with old muzzle loading muskets. AL
most all the prisoners are peasants. All
the dead were also peasants. We now
have two infantry regiments with cav.
airy and artillery at Kassasin.
LONDON, Aug. ga despatch to the
News from IsInailia says: "Tne diff
Guilty of dragging supplies over the
deep sand is very great. But few miles
can be made daily. The weather is
somewhat cooler ami the health of the
troops is excellent. The glare on The
sands at noon is terrible"
LONDON, August 2S.-The correspon'
deut OF the Times at Calcutta telegraphs
that further reserve has been formed
for immediate service in Egypt, and
will be despatched on the receipt of
orders to that effect from General
Wolseley. The whole control Of the
Indian division has been made over tC
General Wolseley.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it has the
best authority to state that the report
that General WOlseley mas already tel
egraphed for reinforcements is without
| foundation.
Sultan Pasha, attended by Fuad
Pasha and twelve subordinates, will
start for Port Said and Ismailia to-day
to accompany General Wolseley as the
Khedive's Commissioner, to explain tt
the population of the districts through
which the British pass that their mis-
sion is solely to re establish the author
ity of the khedive and overthrow mill
tary despotism.
