possession saturated with petroleum.
FIGHTING TIE DROUGHT.
ALEXANDRIA, July 2S.-The staff Of the
water works are hard at work cleaning the
Roman cisterns for the storage OF water. 1t
is a race between the falling level of the canal

will probably sweep away Arabi's dyke or rush
around 1t and all will be well.
