ters Telegram Company says: The
difficulty in regad d to the final sign
ing OF the draft of an Anglo Turkish
military convention hinges upon the
question whether Turkish troops
having arrived at Pott said will be
allowed to dlsembark or be required
to await instructions from Genera
Wolseley. The Porte claims that il
has proved it's sincerity by proclaim
ing Arab Pasha a rebel, aud that i
IS justified in expecting an immedi
ate signing of the convention. Nov
England mas the temerity to turn
round and accuse Turkey of disloy-
atty because the Porte claims the
right to land troops at Port Said
Here the matter rests pending Lore
Granville's instructions. Meanwhll,
DervIsh Pasha and B .ker Pasha hat,
bee 1 ordered to defer their depar'
lures until the convention has beer
