sExnoUB 10 TEE KHEDIyE-
Admiral Seymour has addressed the fol-
lowing letter TO The khediye regarding the
faise statemenis cissnlAted by Arab Pasha
and those acting under his orders: Il think
it right to repeat that Great Britain has no
intention of conquering Egypt for herself, or
Of interfering in any way with the religion
or the liberties of the Egyptians. Her only
object is TO protect the khedive and the
Egyptians against the rebels. Great Britain
is determined to suppress the rebellion and
restore order. beg that you viii warn the
soldiers not to obey the rebel commanders.
The British government advises the Egyp-
tians to regard Arab Pasha and his accom-
plices as traitors to their sovereign and enc
mics of themselves and their country"

THE IMMENSE SERVICES OF THE AMERICAN
MARINES

immense services 30 generously rendered by

EVERYTHING DEFENDS ON THE ULEMAs.
LONDON, July IA correspondent at
Constantinople says: "Wbether the sultan
finally Endorses the recommendation of the
ministry to send troops to Egypt depends on
the attitude of the influential ulemas at
Cairo. Ii they can be induced TO recognize
the Turkish troops as protectors and no, as
enemies of Islam, the sultan will consent to
the expedition. The conduct of Arab Pasha,
also, will depend very much on the attitude
of the sulemas. If he is abandoned by them
he will endeavor to effect some sort Of COM
promise"
