ALEXANDRIA,.
Turkey to Send 10000 Men-Arabi Pa.
sha Assumes New Ttle-The Only
Terms that Will be Given Him.

SOSlON, July GA herald Lon
don correspondent cables as follows:
A member of the Government assures
me that the reports of Arabs inten-
ton to offer terms of surrender, are
entirely unfounded. Very little con-
fidence can be placed in the cores
pondents at Alexandria, as all inn
portant probabilities are carefully
hidden from them. An examining
party approached the forts at. Abou-
kir this morning, when the Egyptians
made ready to FIRE, and the English
retired abruptly.
The Government has little informa-
ton of the progress of Arabs affairs,
and is not sanguine that he will sur
render. The only terms offered will
be the Punishment of himself and off :
GERS, the disbandment Of troops, and
the punishment Of all suspects of COM
plicity in the massacre.
Arab sent delegates yesterday to
meet a British flag of truce. All
haughtily declined to talk about the
surrender OH any terms. They were
most insulting to the English officers.
They said that they would resist to the
bitter end; that Arab had the whole
country with him.
The deputies retired swearing at
the English professions and threats.
CoNsTANrINopLE, July 29.-Fif-
teen thousand troops have been order
ed to proceed to Egypt next week.

-Explosions were heard here

pair the railroads cut by the rebels on
the Alexandria side.

British Ambassador again sent hi.
Secretary Of Legation to ask the Sultan
to issue a proclamation denouncine
Arab Pasha as rebel. The Secreta

conciliatory explanations stating that
England did not aim at protectorat,
over Egypt. He also asked for par
ticulars concerning the composition Q
the Turkish expedition to Egypt
The Sultan gave no satisfactory an
swer, but stated, however, that he i
irritated at England's action, and la
sent verbal messages through the Sec
retary that he would do nothing 70
England but would only recognize tn
wishes of Europe. The various GOV
ernmeats have asked their representa-

tie absence Of Oron, the Russian del
