evacuation of Alexandria Arab Pasha issued
the following proclamation:
"The murders were at the Khedive's insti-
cation. The English killed with sword and
shot in revenge the Egyptians who were left

nis ht with his women afoat among the Eng

to order a continuance of the slaughter
Therefore L issue my order to continue rails
ing soldiers"
The Daily Telegraph has the following un-
der date OF Alexandra, July 20: "Deserters
say that Arab Pasha Is not intrenched and
has no intreuching tools. Arab having
erected Notifications Just opposite Aboukir
bay, and upon the Mahmoudieh fresh water
canal, placed a dam in the canal below
his position close to the Notifications, and
cut the canal banks above the dam, so as
to send the water all along the front
Of his position. This shows that Arsbi
has made great mistake,
as by damming the canal where he
has he secures rs water for some time. We
have set to work to fill the reservoir here
so as to save all the water possible, but
plenty will remain in the canal for present
purposes. Arabrs lire extends from Lake
MareOtis to AbOukir. Having got some tools,
he is now making works. We
are in some trepIdatiou about
water, and inquiries are making
about the cOndensers. Admiral Seymour
hiss issued a proclamation, declaring that by
sunset on Sunday all the pillaged property
and unclaimed goods may be brought to
Lord Charles BeresfOrd at the arsenal, and
that anybody bringing such things by that
time will not be criminally treated, but that
anybody who has goods OF this nature and
does not bring them in will, II
'ound out, be visited by patrol the
property seized and pilferers punished.
This proclamation is intended to meet the
cases of numerous Arabs who have hidden
Dlunder In their houses. Some have already
brought I'm what thev had"

Of 10000 OF all arms. Another battalion of
m1riaes has been ordered to prepare at once

The Daily Ne,cs believes that the POrte's
answer to the Invitation to send troops is
regarded by the government as equivalent
% a refusal, and that force will be sent to
Egypt without delay. The Tines CORES
pendent reports that respectable inhabi-
ants complain that Eoglish soldiers have
robbed and pillaged their houses.

The DGQy Telegraph. In its second edition,

The Daily NiCs tn its second edition, has
a dispatch from Port Said, which says that
A-abi, after the bOmoardment of Alexan-
dria, spread the report that the English
troops hsd been defeated. The conduct of
The natives, consequently, is very insolent.
The position is critical.
The Central NelgS has a dispatch from Al
exandria which says that q refugee from
Cairo reports that numerous massacres of
Elror cans took place on Monday on the
outskirts Of that city. Gen. Allison will

A long dispatch from Earl Granville, For
eign Secretary, to Lord Dufferin the English
Ambassador at COustan inOple, dated
July II, is published After Justify
ing the bOmbardmPnt of Alexandria, the
dispatch states that II ar Majssiy's Govern
ment now sees no alternative but recourse
to force to put an end to the intolerable
state OF affairs 10 Egyps. l. would be most
in accordance with the principles of inter
national law that that force should
ne that OF the sovereign power.

Her Msjesty's Government continue to hold
the view that any Intervention should
represent the united action and authority OF
Europe. They have, in fact, no interests or
objects in regard to Europe Inconsistent
with those nt the rest Of Europe
or OF the Egyptian people. Their
desire is that the navigation
ot the canal shall be unrestricted; that
Egypt be we'll and quietly governed, free
from the predOminaung infdeJ c9s of any
single power; that International engage
ments shall be observed, and those British
and industrial interests. which
have been so largely developed In Egypt,
shall receive due protection from out
rage, a principle which is essen
tial for our interest in all parts
OF the world. Their policy has been con-
sistent. They have Loyalty kept their en-
gsgements with France, and have been anx-
iOus that the other powers be Informed and
consulted on sll matters materially affecting
the position of the country. The action
which their Admiral has been compelled to
resort 10 has not altered their views.
The Times has the following second pro-
clamation Of Arab Pashs, in which he says:
"The Kbedive has imprisoned his Minis
ters at Alexandra In order that they may
be instruments in English hands. The
ielegrams dispatched by Ragheb Pasha,
authorizing a cessation of military prepara-
lions, were forcibly extorted from him, and
are, therefore, invalid. An irreconcilsble
war exists between US and the English"
The TINES correspondent says he has re-
geived letter from the interior IN which
The reports OF massacres at Cairo and Dami-
eta are confirmed. at Caliub family was
taken from a railway train and put under
the wheels All the employees Of the Ca
isstral survey at Tsnta hhave been killed.
II is understood that the Conservatives In
the House OF Commons will not oppose the
vote Of credit proposed by Mr.. Gladstone to
strengthen the forces in Egypt, but that a
section of the Radicals and the Home
Rulers will certainly challenge it. Its stated
that the vote will be two or three mil
lions OF pounds Mr.. Gladstone will
propose that the vote be betrayed out Of the
revenue OF the current fiscal year. Hs In
tends to ask the House of Commons to in
crease the income tax 2 pence in the pound.
