he sent the following: ....

our guard rooms. will change my base
from Ismailia to Alexandria. Ten thOus-
and troops at Cairo have laid down their

HOW ARAB WAS CAPTURED.
Arab, as soon as he saw his army at
Tel-el-Kebir was doomed to defeat, gal
loped rapidly off to Zagazig, where he
had ordered special train to be held in
readiness, and was conveyed to Cairo.
Owing to some delays en- route, he ar
rived there only an hour before loves
cavalry entered the city. His appearance
in the capital caused the most intense
excitement. He did not anticipate the
British would enter Cairo for forty eight
hours at least, and when it was known
they had reached the outskirts Of the
city the Prefect of Police proceeded to
Arabi's headquarters and arrested him.
His staff had already deserted him and
not soldier was to be seen about him.
He made no attempt at resistance, and
was handed over to the British. He ex-
pressed his desire at once to send in his
submission to the Khedive, and was
furnished writing material for the pur-
pose.
DETAILS FROM ALEXANDRIA.
ALEXANDRIA, September 15.-News of
by the Arabs here with what was appar.
emily the widest enthusiasm.
MahmOud BarOudi and Suleiman Sami,
who commanded a battalion which took
leading part in the burning of Alex
andria, were recalled from Talihiyeh by
their friends and fled to Upper Egypt.
Ali Fehmy and Reschid Pasha were not
captured at Tel-el-Kebir, but it is be-
lieved they have since been arrested at
Cairo.
The enemys troops from Mehallel,
AbOukir and KafF-el-Dwar will parade
at the front here, when they will sur
render their arms, be stripped of their
military dress and disbanded in the
presence of all the troops of General
Wood.
In many instances wounded Arabs
passed them. Lord st. Vincent cut down
native standard bearer and captured
his colOrs.
There were lamentabIe casualties on
the enemy's side. Old men and chill
dren were killed. This was unavoidable
owing to the fact that the Egyptians
kept up struggling fire from their mud
huts. This brought the English fire
upon nOn-cOmbatants. Without our
oil in ha nf ho
at Kafr-el-Dwar was unassailable.
Canned provisions for twenty thOus-
and men for month were captured at
Tel-el-KebiT.
The Khedive did not receive Boutros
Bey and other delegates from Cairo, as
they were merely bearers of a letter
from Arsbi Pasha offering submission
and were not accredited by the notables,
as expected.
After the arrival of the Khedive at
Cairo regularly constituted court will
be established for the public trial of the
rebel chiefs, who will be allowed to en-
gage counsel.
The British moved forward at O'Clock
this afternoon to disarm five thousand
men at Kafr-el-Dwar, wherefrOm train
has just started with officers going per-
sOnally to surrender to Gen. Wolseley.
General Wood has issued an order
forward.
6:4OP. M.-Engineers have just return
ed and report that Kafr-el-Dwar is
abandoned. They saw many skeletons
there. The rebels are supposed to have
gone to the AbOukir forts.
ARABI PASHA BEFORE THE KHEDIVE. {.
ALEXANDRIA, September 15.-Arabi
Pashawas taken before the Khedive to-
day. He presented loathsome picture
Of grOveling serVility. He swore he had
not been aware that he was fighting
against the Khedive. The Khedive re-
mained standing while Arabi Pasha was
in his presence. When Arabi had con-
cluded, the KhediVe ordered his re-
mOval.
TELL-EL-KEBIR-ACCOU OF THE BATTLE.
By early dawn the troops arrived
within thousand yards of the enemy's
lines, and halted there short time to
enable the fighting lines to be formed
and other preparations to be made.
Perfect silence still reigned over the
plain. 1t was difficult to credit the fact
that fourteen thousand men lay in a
semi-circle round the enemy's lines
ready to rush forward at the signal at
the low sand trenches in front, behind
which, so many men slumbered unsus-
piciOus of their presence. As usual in
movement carried out in darkness
many detached parties altogether lost
their way, with some mounted police
among the number; for while we COM
pletely beat the rest of the force we
went hither and thither all night until
daybreak, and nearly stumbled into the
enemy's lines. The attack began on the
left. Nothing could be imagined finer
than the advance of the Highland bri-
gade. The Seventy-fourth were next
the canal. Next were the CamerOns
and the Gordon Highlanders continued
the line, with the Black Watch upon
their flank. The FOrty-sixth and Six.
tieth regiments formed a second line.
THE HIGHLANDERS CHARGE.
Swiftly and silently the Highlanders
moved forward to the attack. No WORD
was spoken, no shot fired until within
three hundred yards of the enemy's
earthworks. Nor up to that time did
any sound in the Egyptian lines betoken
that they were aware of the presence OF
their assailants. Then suddenly ter.
rifle fire flashed along the line of sand
heaps. A storm Of bullets whizzed OveI
the heads OF the advancing troops. A
wild cheer hreke from the Highlanders
