Said, which is reported to be full Of re.
fugees. A large number Of persons were
brought from lsmalia by German man.
of-war, being chiefly German refugees from
Cairo, Tantah and other towns In the
interior. They bring alarming reports Of
the doings OF the natives At Tantah many
Europeans were brutally murdered by them.
One respectable man describes q scene In
which he saw Sofia sitting on the ground
cutting the thread of European, while 9th.
ers were holding the victims head and
Knees The European population at Port Said
are badly armed and unaccustomed to the use
OF firearms. The town Is swarming with won.
en- and children.
Ia the event of an attack by the Arabs or
Bedouins the loss Of life would be fearful
Tor although the guns of the English feet
command the peninsula the Euro.
pean population ashore numbers 10000
or IL, 600, including refugees. Hundreds
would be killed by the guns or massa.
cred by the Arabs. Many are leaving by
every steamer but others arrive from the in.
terror Thus there is no sensible decrease in
the number.
Another cause of anxiety is the insecurity
OF the Sucz canal. Although men .of. war are
a. either end there are none along the ninety.
nine miles Of canal. The officers, crew and
passengers OF the Peninsular and Oriental
steamers are armed. Up to this time no YES.
sells have been stopped, but at any moment
Inc canal could be blocked Some of the
steamers IN trdnsitu are unnamed and might
DC easily pillaged by the Bedouins from eth.
er side OF the canal and the crews murdered.
