Alexandra, IA, p.m.-The Kbedive's

the streets, trying to stop the terrible
chaos which has existed ioY three days.
Streets upon streets have been burned.
Many more ChriStisns in hiding have
escaped, and the stories are all of the
same kind, murder and robbery. The
first intimatjon that the Khedive wa
