lieves there is growing feeling among the

GRAIN AND COTTON STORES ESCAPED.
The English consulate at Alexandria, the
rtaro Opfa mi, n
| ton stores, escaped the conhagration. There
is no telegraphic communication with any
| place in the interior.
ARABI DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OUT
RACES.
An Alexandria dispatch to the Times SAYS
that 1900 christian refugees were saved in
the Coptic church during the m assacTe. The
fires in the town we're undoubtedly directly
instigated by the principal supporters OF
Arab Pasha, if nst by himself. After the
looting commenced, the soldiers attacked the
original plunderers and robbed them of their
prey. Arahi p<-hs, a~.iIss tie ~,4,, age 44lsas,
was at Fort Napoleon, which neither fred
nor received . shot. After the firing had
ceased he rode through the town, accompa-

Subsequently party of soldiers deliberately
set fire to the French consulate. Another
party proceeded in the same systematic man
ner to set fire TO the other side of the Great
Square. The whole district is SO ruined that
even street openings are undistingulshable.
ENTHUSIASTIC AMERICANS.
The 1Fnaess Alexandria correspondent
says: 81 have carefully questioned the for
eign naval officers, and they are nearly unan-
imous in thinking that the feet fred with
greater precision than it was believed posi-
Bile. The Americans are particularly enthu-
siastic. They took careful observations of
| each shot, and state that the result establishes
the fact that in a quiet sea large ship is at
| no disadvantage against fort, and small
ship is at much less than is supposed. The
German officers expressed a similar opinion.
The Austrians are much less complimentary"

riots prevail there despite the endesvors OF
