ALEXANDRIA, June III p. M.-Serious
riots occurred to-day between the natives
and Europeans. Several persons were
killed and wounded. A number of houses
were destroyed. The police at first re-
NAMED inactive. A riotous demonstra-
ton later took place before the French
Consulate, to which several of those
wounded at the outbreak were carried.
The disturbances continued some time be-
fore the authorities took steps to suppress
them. The English Consul was severely
hurt, receiving a gunshot wound. TIT
engineer of the British man-of-war Superb
was killed. The disturbances continued
about five hours, when the military ap-
peared and dispersed the rioters. The
Greek and Italian Consuls were severely
wounded. The British man-of-war Superb
will arrive in port during the night, and
will protect the British Consulate. About
20 were killed in the riot, but the exact
particulars are unreliable. The imme-
diate cause was the stabbing of Arabey
Maltez. A mob of natives collected on
the street with sticks and made their way
into the Great Square, where they de-
molished payilions and furniture in the
adjoining cafes.
CAIRO, June 12.-The following report
of the riot has been received from Alexan-
dria: Cookson, the English Consul, says
when he was proceeding from the Great
Square to the Governors residence, he
saw two Europeans, respectfully dressed,
and apparently naval officers in plain
clothes, knocked down. A Greek was shot
and killed by a soldier five yards from
Cookson's carriage, and others, even
closer, were knocked down and stabbed.
A soldier cut at the Consul's kavass with a
sword. The carriage Of the Greek Consul
was stopped by a number of soldiers and
the occupants dragged out, and the Con-
sui was severely beaten. Cookson escaped
severe maltreatment by the coachman
flashing his horses, but he was struck on
the head and one of his arms broken. The
Italian Counsel was wounded by a stone.
The wife of the Austrian Consul General
was attacked and insulted. The accounts
of the origin of the riot are conflicting.
LONDON, June 12.-The Admiralty has
received dispatches confirming the report
of the murder of the engineer of the
Superb.
The fighting at Alexandria, except the
deliberate attack upon the Consuls when
proceeding to the residence Of the Gov
ernor, seems to have been confined to the
Arabs and Leventines. No English resi-
dents are reported wounded. A Times
correspondent at Cairo lays the RESPONSE
bility of the riots upon Arab Pasha.
Dervish Pasha had summoned him to re-
I sign, and there seemed to be no alternative
but submission or defiance. But since the
riots broke out Dervish Pasha has had to
appeal to Arab Pasha as commanding the
only available force to restore order.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.- General
1gnatieff, at his own request, has been
relieved of the post of Minister of the
Interior, on the ground of ill-health, and
appointed the President of the Academy
and a member of the Senate. He retains
his membership of the Council of the
Empire and his A~djutancy. Count Tolsto,
formerly President of the Academy, is
appointed Minister of the Interior.
