Al. xandria, 4.-The uneasiness
among Europeans continues una
bateG. Sensational rumors of every
kind re circulated here te-night. A
report snat the Freuch consul gen
eraI h4ai asked for transports to re-
move French subjects proved to be
grOun1.eSs. The British military
authorities have mapped the town
into districts, connected by tele-
phone, and they feel satisfied this
will enable them to quell any un-
foreSeen outbreak. At o'clock this
evening the English heavy guns
near the Cairo railway began she'll
ing Arab Pasha's camp. The en-
envy replied, their shells falling
within ten yards of Fleming depot,
IN the Ramleh lines. Two more
British guns joined in the fire,
Whereup0n a lively canOnade en-
sued. The enemy continued to make
excellent practice, all their shells
falling close to the British camp.
The water in the canal broke
through the dam to-day, and is one
and One-half metres high.
A Greek who recently arrived
from Cairo gives a gloomy account
of the situation there. He fears
that when Arab PaSha is defeated
he will destroy the city. He esti-
mates at Cairo only 1000 troops,
who wilt join IN pillaging the city
at the first opportunity. He says
the CirtaSSianS are maltreated if
seen on the streets in Cairo.
Kassassin, 3.-The enemy keep a
close watch all about the camp.
Numerous Bedouin hOr.em are
providing in the vicinity, rendering
it unsafe to venture far out. Last
night q Yidette Of the Life Guards
was killed. His body was reco Yered
and found mutilated.
Arab Pasha has an excellent DO
sitiOn. He is in direct cOmmunica-
tiOn by rail with SagazOg and Sail
hieyeh, and water for his forces is
brought up by rail and canal. His
active cavalry succeeds in masking
his movements and keeping them
secret.
The Indian Cavalry and a detach-
ment of the Irish Dragon Guards
secured the country between the
camp at this point and MaXama,
and returned without seeing any
marauding BedOuins.
COnstantinOple, 4. Said Pasha,
Turkish minister of foreign affairs,
had a conference to-day with NJ.
COngauriste, the Greek minister.
The Porte is not DISPOSED to surren-
der the territory claimed by Greece,
except the portion bordering on
| Lake LenaS. 1t is believed the
matter will again he submitted to
the European conference before a
satisfactory settlement can be oE-
tanned. Austria demonstrated with
Greece on the subject OF the latter's
action on the Thessalian frontier,
and declared that Europe cannot
| permit Greece to disturb its peace.
| Lord Dufferin, yesterday, in
| formed the Sultan that he had been
authorized to assent to the landing
Of two or three thousand Turkish
troops at Port Said. Il is under
stood that DeTYisch PaSha will COM
mand the expedition, and Baker
| Pasha be his chief Of staff.

Fanzi, aid de camp to the Knedive,
proct Q led on a mission to the Ports
on the Red sea, to stir up among
the natives z loyal feeling toward
the KhediVe and to encourage opera
tiOns against Arab Pasha from that
lquarter.
The Egyptian court martial con-
tinueS to eXtOrt evidence or cOnfes-
sims from the prisoners by torture.
I Three thousand rifles aDdsix thou
sad bludgeOns were discovered on
Monday in a mosque. The Gnd-
| ing Of the weapons caused uneasi-
ness.
