Arabf's Defense.
4 Cairo Egypt dispatch says:

A recent Cairo egypt dispatch says:
Arab has presented the outline OF his DO
fense He objects to being questioned In any
way about the massacres at Alexandria, Tan
tab and other places in Egypt during the war,
upon the ground that he was in no way either
cognizant of the immediate cause producing
them or responsible for them. He explains
his position on this point by protesting tnat
the British fleet had no right to Dombaro
Alexandria at all; that the bombardment ano
the fact that it was done after mere twenty
four hours notice, which was entirely too snort
to allow the people to either remove their goods
or carry awsy their infsrm, invalid, aged or
children, produced feeling of uncontrol-
liable indignation among the natives, who De-
lieved from 1t that the Christians IN
Egypt and those invading the country wereln
determined league to steal in upon the coun-
try and destroy and depopulate 1T OF It's native
people. Arab alleges that he and his ofhcers
dd all in their power to keep under controi
this dangerous feeling among the Egyptians,
and insists that he would have succeeded In
preventing any outbreak of it if Admiral
Seymour had not been in such haste; ana
states that it was the common BELIEF among
his tArabis) staff that the British were well In
formed of the dangerous temper of the popu-
lace; knew that the bombardment, under the
circumstances, would drive the Egyptians into
frenzy, and that their conduct under the ex-
the resident Christians; and expected that
this would give the British an opportunity to
claim warrant for landing and occupying tho
country.
Arab claims therefore, that the British
were solely res ponsiblc for these massacres'
and insists that the British must clear thcm-
selves from the suspicion Of having acted win
the object of producing them for the purpose
of accomplishing their ultimate end before
they have any right to question him, who d1d
all in his power to prevent them.
Arab further says that when Inc meet was
dest. Dying the city of Alexandria the sup
pressed fire within the excited mob was lit by
the spark thrown when Maltese, known TO
sympathiZe with the invaders stabbed in the
street an Arab who denounced Seymours con-
duct and that from this simple occurrence en-
sued all the bloodshed
In regard to the loyalty of his conduct ana
in contradiction of the charge of reDelilon,
Arab produces evidence that he Was acting
in perfect fealty both to the Sultan and tOthd
khediYe.

A Terrible Railroad Accident.
NnnrII AnsSrS Mocc

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. October q.
A terrible accident to a cabOoSe of working
men. belonging to the North Adams freight
yard, occurred this morning. in which thirty
men were injured, several fatally. About 80
this morning Engineer Charles Wells and Fire
man James Bostly left the North Adams depot
on the engine DeerfieId on the State Road,
pushing a cab ose loaded with thirty men go
ing to wo- k at different places near Zcar and
Charlemont. The party in the car included
section-gang John Flynn, foreman; gang of
miners, John c. Madden, foreman: stone
crushers, Peter Barry. foreman; tracklayers,
Thomas Quinn, foreman; and carpenters,
J. J. Peckham, foreman. The engine
and caboose started for the tunnel. and had
gone about half the way there when the ca
boose which was in front, collided with a
Troy & Boston engine. The caboose was
raised from its tracks and carried to the cow
catcher of the engine Deerfeld The front of
water flew into the caboose. The men not
hurt in the collision were burned badly, and
but few escaped without injury. None would
have been seriously hurt but for the explosion
of the engine Deerfield's boiler.
LATER.
1t is now certain that eight men injured I'm
the accident will not live. The doctors have
nearly completed their examination of the in
jured men, and find thirty-three injured, all
scaided, many with cuts, bruises and broken
bones.
The explosion of the engine was caused by
the drawbar of the cabOose bursting in the
plate of the cylinder of the engine Deerfield
The steam blew open the door of the caboose,
and filled the car in which there were thirty-five
men crowded close together. Many were I'M
able to reach the doors, and in the stampede
many bones were broken. The boiling water
and steam saturated the mems clothes in a
moment and the men were fearfuily burned.
All the injured were carried to their houses.
All day the doctors offices were crowded with
anxious friends, beseeching them to first at.
tend their injured.

NEWSPAPER LIBEL SUIT.
Grave Charges Preferred Against Def.
bv the Montreal Post Proprietor.

MONTREAL, June Is.
Counsel for Patrick J. Whelan, manager
of the Post Publishing Company, lodged to-
day an amended plea in the libel suit
brought against him by +. Ii. McNamee. de-
PENDANT, and supplies the names of a number
of men who, he alleges. McNamee received
into the branch of the Fenian Brotherhood
established here by him under authority per-
sopally obtained from John o. Mahoney,
head centre in New York, and to these men
he administered the oath OF the society; that
McNamee acted as president for several
years that he subsequently introduced Fen
ianism in st. Patricks Society, of this city,
and through its influence had the late Hon.
Darcy Niece expelled from the society, and
the names of large number of Irishmen
were given whom McNamee is alleged to
have engaged to enter the American army
from 1861 to 1864, while he was acting as
bounty crimp, and charges him with betray-
ing his Fenian dupes to the government and
receiving large sums therefor from the Sc
cret Service Fund, are reiterated at much
length.
The name Of Michael O'Reilly is given as
the person McNamee alleged to have offered
$4,000 to if he would put daylight through
Charles ]. Bridges, then general manager of
the Grand Trunk Railway, who had done
McNamee, as he alleges, some wrong. The
plea has created profound sensation, as it
deliberately details all particulars in support
of serious charges deliberately made against
McNamee by the Pest, the Irish Catholic
organ here.
