The disturbances continued some time before the authorities took any steps to suppress them. The English consul was severely hurt, receiving a gunshOt wound, and the engineer of the British man of war Superb" killed. The dis turbanee continued five hours when the military appeared and dispersed the rioters In the riots the Greek consul and Italian consul were severely wound ed. The British man of war Superb will arrive in port during night and will protect the British Consulate, and boats will be sent to take off all British sub iacts who desire to leave Alexandria. IL IS estimated twenty persons were killed iD the riots, but the exact particu- lars are unObtainable. So far as ascer- t;inable the noting commenced on the streets and the immediate cause was the stabbing of Maltese. A mob of na- tives collected on the streets with sticks and made their way into the great square, where they demolished the mu- sic paviliOns and furniture in the ad- joinlng cafes. All the European sub iects left the square and took refuge for some time at the French Consulate. The soldiers were called out but they | looked on without interfering during work of demolition and blOOdshed. The mob sacked the shops of Europeans and Egyptians. The troops occupy all points | 1T the city. Katherne des SOurs, inhab- tied chiefly by Europeans, was complete ly wrecked. The Europeans fired from tIe windows, killing many Arabs. The latter made terrible havoc among the Europeans in the streets.
