AMERICANS IN EGYPT.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The State
is advised by the acting
Consul General of the United States
in Egypt that he has moved from
Cairo to Alexandria. 1t is understood
that whatever Americans remain in
the interior OF Egypt are at some dis
tance in the rear of Arabi's army and it
is believed have not suffered. The De-
partment of State telegraphed asking

to protect American citizens.

United States in Egypt telegraphed
Secretary Frelinghuysen from Alex
andria ar follows: III remained at
Cairo up until the last moment. Our
records and my personal effects there
are lost. All American citizens
saved. General Stones family in
sisted on remaining at Cairo. and
their destiny is unknown. Commu-

GERMANY WILL STAND ALooF.
BERLIN, July 22.-The Prussian
Cross Gazette, in an article on the pol

Of the former state of things is impos-

fallen under the dominion of England.
1t is impossible to prognosticate the
work of the future, as no power has
disclosed its plans England has not
yet reckoned up the consequences of
her course. There is no necessity,
therefore, for Germany to prematurely
take sides. Bismarck in deciding up

prove false to tradition.
Russia appears, from the language
of the accredited organ of the Govern
ment, to demand that England before
acting on the assumption that the Porte
has virtually declined to send troops
to Egypt shall come to an agreement
with the powers.
