come off shore. The signal has been
hoisied forthe feet to clear for action.
Inside the harbor beginning from Fort

wind sails for ventilation between decks
during action form strange look as they

man war steamers appear to be at last
getting ready to move outside.
At IL O'Clock theIRUiactbLe, Monarch
and Penelope moved out, and anchored
outside the hsrbor. The scene was i'm
pressible in y high degree. Slowly all
the foreign ships moved from their
besrths and steamed QUO of the hsrbor.
The merchant steamers presented no
regular order, but the war ships Of the
various nations steamed ont in squsd-
rons, saluting as they passed. The sd-
mira's Flag Bands played national airs.
Scarcely 8 breath OF air was blowing.
The various ensigns dropped against the
masts. The bright eastern sky overhead,
the deep blue sea, the white clothed
crews clustering on the rigging, and the
knowledge of tue change which would
soon take place rendered the stately pro-
cession OF war ships extremely impress
siVe. The merchant steamers were
crowded with refugees, those who hal
held on to the last In hopes that matters
would not come to an extremity. By
1890 the American squadron Of three
ships, the Russian ships, one Austrian
and one German had gone.

reasons for the hostile preparations. The
Interview was conducted with great
courtesy on both sides, but the Egyptian
officials looked blank indeed upon the
admiral informing them that he had sent
a demand that the forts commanding the
hsrbor be Immediately dismantled. The
mem rers Of the deputstiJ N talked some
wGat excItedly among themselves in
Turkish. sdiscussing apparently what
Arab would say to the demsDd.
They inquired who would be dep
