Washington, 13.-Secretary Freling-
huysen says in answer to inquiries as to
the safety of our officials and country |
men at Alexandra: We have NJ con-
sui in that city, but that the vice-consul
resident is an Israelite; that one OF the
members Sof the court at Alexandra, |
Judge Batcheller, is in this country on
leave. He understands that other two
American judges have gone into the
country. Ab0nt month ago one vessel
from the Mediterranean squadron was
sent to Alexandria for the protection OF
American residents. As the difficulties
increased two other ships were sent, the
others from the same squadron. About
ten days, ago, inquiry having been made
by the American board of foreign mis-
sions, Secretary Frelinghuysen tele-
grsphed to the viee-consul asking as to
the safety of missionaries. He received
an answer to the effect that they were all
safe on Jour vessels, or had gone to the
interior. He trusts. therefore, that Am
erican residents at Alexandria have suf-
fered none. An official communication
from Admiral Nicholson states that there
has been some destruction OF property IN
Alexandria belonging to Americans, but
there is no loss of life among them so far
as ne has yet been able to ascertain.

ordered q detachment Of soldiers to sur
round the palace, where the khedlve and

diers were only meant for protection to
the Khedive. but at the last moment he
actually told the soldiers to Kill the
Khedive. The men, however, hearing
tie English approaching, deserted their
posts everywhere.
