khedlve; On my way to Cairo l saw
Europeans being massacred and their
houses pillaged at Damamhour, Tautoh
| and Mihala, where the Alexandria rab-
bic had arrived They cut off the heads
OF barbarians because they served the
Christians.
Arab Pasha had called meeting at
Cairo, of all Pashas' elemas and no.
tables and asked them whether it was
right to obey the khedive, seeing he
had sold Egypt to the English. He had
ordered the military bake houses to
make l 500 loaves daily for the British,
without providing for his own
troops, and sent kilograms in
their name. The minister of
the interior presented at the meet
ing Mohamond Pasha Bayondi who
practically directs discussions. Sheikh
Hassan recommended the declaration
of holy war, but at the digestion vi
the Coptic patriarch moderation pre-
vailed. The meeting appointed a
committee to go to Alexandria in
order to verify the ac-
cusations against the khedive.
ALL QUIET.
LoNboN, ouy "a correspondent
telegraphs from Alexandria: All is
quiet aud still; nothing doing and
nothing known. The Roman wells
cannot be filled in less than fortnight:
the fleet can condense sufficient for the
crews and troops, but not for the popu-
lace, who must 60 afloat or retire to
villages.
The Suez canal and Port Said IS con-
sidered the most insecure. There is
only a small gunooat in the canal, and
there are 1900 Europeans in Port
Said with 1000 Arabs, and sew
eral hundred soldiers with guns
under Mahomond Samy are at Fl.
Quemil, six miles off. The town is
literally at the mercy of soldiers and
people Two British corvettes have
gone to port Said. Arab Pasha is calling
in all the Bedouins in the neighbor-
hood of Ramleh.
THE FALSE PROPHET ON THE MARCH.
PARIS, July 23.-Arabi's object is said
to be to delay operations as long as pos
sible, and avoid conflict until the az
rival of the Prophet Ell Mehdi, who is
supposed to be marching in north
ward direction. Arab will continue
on the defensive and distract the ene-
my until the arrival of the Prophet,
who is swelling the ranks by thous-
ands. The position of Turkey is con-
sidered no longer an enigma, and the
Sultan is stated to be party to an un-
Outstanding between Arab and the
Prophet.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Arab claims that his Notifications
sunk eight of the British iron-clads, de-
stroyed two ard captured two. AT last
advices Aral had cut off Alexandria's
water supply. 1t is expected that the
British troons who have been landing
at Alexandra and at Port Said in con-
siderable numbers, would soon advance
upon Arabs position in the interior.
Mohammedan massacres of Europeans
are reported IN the vicinity of Cairo.
France is forwarding war vessels and
troops for Egypt to cooperate with the
British, and Italy is also sending IRON
clads to the scene of the war
ARABS OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE bonn
BARDMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.
The official native report of the
bombardment Of Alexandria says eight
ironclads were sunk, two burned and
four captured, and that the latter
would be brought to Cairo.
PRoCLAMATIoSs BY ARABI.
ALEXANDRIA, July 90 On the evac-
uation of Alexandra, Arab Pasha is
sued tie following proclamation:
Mudirsl AT the khedive's instigation
the English killed with sword and shot
in revenge the Egyptians who were left
to guard the city of Alexandria. The
khedive remains at night with his
women afloat among the English, and
returns to the shore in the day time to
order continuance of the slaughter,
therefore | issue my order to continue
raising soldiers.
A second proclamation of Arab
Pasha says;
"The khedive has imprisoned his
ministers at Alexandria in order that
they may be instruments in Euglsh
hands. The kilograms dispatched by
Ra1heb Pasha, authorizing the cessa-
ton of military preparations were forci-
bly, extorted from him, and were there
fore invalid. An irreconciable war ex-
lists between us and the English.
