lowing report 10 the khedive: On the way 10
Cairo saw Europeans being massacred and
their houses pillaged at DImenhour, Loutah
and Manila, where the Alexandria rabble had
arrived. They cut off the heads of the bar
bsrlans because they served Christians. Arabl
Pasha had called a meeting at Cairo of all the
pashas, ulemas and notables, and asked them
whether it was right TO obey the khedive, say
ing he had sold Egypt to the English, had
ordered the military bakehouses TO make
i'oOo leaves daily for the British, without
providing for his own troops, and sent tele
grams in their name.
The minister of the interior presided at the
meeting. Mafmud Pasba Brondi practically
directed the discussions. Heikh Hasson re-
commended declaration of holy war but at

start on The 9Th inst. going from Cairo To
lsmaila. Three mudirs missed from their
posts are imprisoned at Cairo for obeylng the
khedive. A council was held daily, Nah

met yesterday chiefly to consider temporary
measure for the security of the Suez canal.
