the village of Meks during the night,

BRAVERY OF THE ARABS.
dragon signaling on the banks of
the canal near Mahuta was shot dead by

eral hand to hand encounters occurring.

TERRORISM AT CAIRO.
Yusuf Bey who recently escaped from
Cairo, asserts that Turkish and CiTcas-
sian residents at Cairo are being arrested
daily and are never heard of again.
Some Turkish and CiTcassian Pashas,
with a few Europeans remaining in
Cairo, are guarding the citadel. They
seem well prepared to hold their own
until the British arrive. If the stories
circulated by Arabi Pasha of British
atrocities were disposed of, a majority
of Arabis troops would desert. There
is large force of BedOuins at KafT-el-
Dwar belonging to the tribe Onladali,
and at Salihist there are $4,000 belong
ing to the tribe Labaran. AbOu Sultan
remains faithful to Arab Pasha through
fear. All are prepared to lay down their
arms when the British advance.
PORT SAID, August 29.-Last evening
the Arabs attacked the British position
at Kassassin and were repulsed with
heavy loss. The British lost 12O men.
Eleven of the enemy's guns were cap
tured.

ALEXANDRIA, August 29.-The enemy

to recOnnOitre Meks.
PACIFYING THE COUNTRY.
PORT SAID, August 29.-Sultan Pasha
has arrived here. 1t is understood he
will install representatives of the Khe-
dive in districts successfully occupied
by the British. As his influence with
the natives is great, hopes are enter
tained that this will do much towards
the paciication of the country. .,
KEEHHAULING MUTINEERS.
ALEXANDRIA, August 29.-Those afloat
in the harbOr to-day witnessed an un-
usual sight, the keelhauling of three
Arab soldiers on board the Egyptian
frigate Souds for mutiny. They were

hauled up to the pOrt-side yaTdarms.

At first General Graham had but five
guns, two and half battalions, and a
small detachment of cavalry and mount
ed infantry. Being reinforced by an
other battalion he attacked the enemy
in front, whilst the First Cavalry brig
ade, under Colonel Sir Baxter Russell,
charged them in the flank, sabering a
considerable number. The cavalry were
well handled by Major General Drury
Lowe. General Graham's dispositions
were all they should have been. His
operations were carried out with cool
ness for which he has always been well
known. Arabi Pasha was on the field
during the action. The cavalry charged
by moonlight, but were unable to secure
the rebel guns. which the enemy with
drew during the night. They left, how
ever, all their ammunition. Our killed

tains, two lieutenants and fifty men.
