A BRITISH VICTORY.
Tel Ell Kiber Captured With 2OOO Pris-
Oners-StrOng Feeling Against Arabi
in Upper Egypt.

His Retreat-A Protest From the
Porte-Arabs Shot.

ALEXANDRIA, August 24-Bedouins, re-
| ported TO be several hundred in number, en-
tered Rsmleh to-day and plundered several
houses. The outposts are now exchanging
shots with them.
Movements are observable in Arab Pasha'
camp, from which it is surmised that the
enemy are about to advance.
A telegram has just been received here an
nounciug the capture by the British of Tel
el Kiber, with 2090 prisoners.
Some ladies in England propose starting
for Egypt TO relieve the native poor here
and elsewhere. 1t may prove a useless mis-
sion. The natives here are of the lowest
class, and are enriched with plumber Re-
spectacle natives are not allowed TO enter
the city. When the difficulties are settled
tney viii return 10 quarter OF fhe4town
| quite uniDjured, and the necessity of re-
building the European quarter, with the in
creased demand for all sorts of labor, will
considerably raise wages, and probably place
the natives In more hourishing circumstances
than for the last ten years.
lntelllgence received at the palace states
| that the Boulak Ell Dakrur railway has been
cut a short distance south OF Ell Kitab il is
supposed by BedUutnE, with tho osiest-0f
cutting off Arab Pasha's retreat to upper
Egypt. Sultan Pasha has received informa-
tion from upper Egypt OF a strong feeling
against Arab among tie people because OF
his exacfions.
The English being anxious 20 save Cairo
they will push on rapidly thither from Suez
by the old direct raiwsy line, on which new
rails will be laid.
The rebels are constructing new batteries
on the line of the railway to Cairo. The
guns on Waterwork Hill exchanged some
shots with them to-day.
While Arabi Pasha's generals know ex-
actly our movements, We are ignorant of
theirs. The absence OF balloons is much
felt here. There is no place where they
would be more useful.
The troops at Fort Themileh, near Port
Said, are reported to be wavering in allie
glance to Arabi Pasha. Many are deserting.
SYMPATHY FOR ARAB ON THE wANE
CoNsTANTINoPLE, August 24.-Among the
uneducated Mussulmans the sympathy for
| Arab Pasha is undiminished, but among
those capable of distinguishing between the
political and sentimental aspects of the
question there is decided revulsion of feel
ing, and some of those formerly applauding
Arab now condemn him az a dangerous
enemy CT the emir.

Marice Bey, Zorab Bsy and the other
Egyptian officers who left for the trout yes
terday in company with Lord Charles Beres

mate between the real traitors aud those
merely forced into rebellion.
