HOLDING THE FORT FOR ARABI.
The commander of the fort at AboukiI
though flying flag of truce, has refused Il
allow any Englishmen to enter the fort. H
is probably really holding the fort in tn
interest of Arab Pasha.
THE FIGHTING FINISHED.
| 3:40o'cLocK P.M.-The lighting is finished
casualties insignificant. The British troop
remain in possession of Ramleh.
ARABI's POSITION.
Arab Pasha occupies an extended lin.
from Mareotis to Aboukir. His force il
estimated at 1000. The first skirmist
lasted an hour. One or two English were
hit. Several Egyptians were seen to fall
Arab is again advancing.
RAMLEH OCCUPIED.
Rifles and mounted infantry occupied
Ramleh early this morning. They stationed
one Calling and one field gnn at the bridge
over the canal. The enemy's cavalry ap.
peared and galloped boldly along the railway
at 300 yards range. but fed upon a volley
being fired. Alter q short time they reap
fire Intellectually upon the British, who took
to cover. By o'clock the firing had ceased,
but the enemy is expected to reappear with
endorsements.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
A staff of water-workers are here at work
cleaning the Roman cisterns for the storage
of water. 1t is a race between the falling
level of the canal and the dauntless energy
of the English engineers. If only water
enough can be started in to tide over another
month the Nile inundation will probably
sweep away Arabs dyke, or rush around it,
and all will be well.
THE KHEpIvE's PROCLAMATION.
The following is the text of the khedive's
proclamatIon: "Arsbi Pashi, in consequence
of your departure to Kafir Eldwar, accom-
panied by the army, thus abandoning Alex
andria without orders, stopping railway
trsfic, preventing US from receiving tele-
grams and Communications through the post,
and impeding the return of refugees to their
homes in Alexandria, and your persistence
in war preparations and your refusal to come
to US after receiving orders, dismiss you
from the Office OF minister OF war;"
CIRCULAR TO THE ARMY.
The Khedive has issued the following cir
cular 10 the army: Son perusing the order
Diminishing Arab Pashi from the Office of
minister OF war, you will know the great
motives which necessitated his dismissal.
Henceforward he will have no authority
over you. Whosoever agrees with his de-
signs and movements will have participated
in his crimes. Whosoever shows obedience
and conforms to our rule will deserve honor,
and good remuneration. You
must be aware the country is surrounded
with dangers and perils, for the powers have
agreed on Turkish Intervention for reform
Of the country without damaging privileges
of the firmans granted to Egypt. / ann con-
WINGED you will conform yourselves to my
ordesr, which cannot have any object other
than the welfare of the country. He who
obeys my orders will be rewarded; be who
does not will have toblame himself when
punished. After the bombardment of Alex
andria a council was held under our presi-
dency. Dervish Pasha assisted, and Arab
Pasha was present. 1t was decided not
to surrender the fort until ordered
BY the khedive. A telegram was sent to
to this effect. Arab Pasha
then returned to Alexandra. 1 ordered him
70 reinforce the forts. He replied that he
would never do SO, and then started for
Kafir Eldwar. Unless / was certain that
he object of England and France was not to
AXE possession of Egypt, but merely TO
restore order, / should have been the first to
rive my life in defense OF my country n,r
1t is considered certain that ArahI will
