and the Sultan, and he wss unable to re-
strain the Egyptian army from fighting.

Under the direction OF Sultan Pashs, a
series OF wholesale arrests Of supporters of
the National party is proceeding. All who
signed the proclamation authorizing Arab
Pasha to continue the war are being i'm
prisOned. The arrests are being conducted
entirely by the Khedlve's government.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
psny from Port Said, dated the 2lst, says
"Fort Ghemileh has surrendered. The gar
rison was found to consist of only eighty
men, a number Of the force having gone to
Damtetta last evening"
Reuters Telegram Company has received
the following from Alexandria: 'It was
originally intended, on the arrest OF Nah
moud Fehmy, that none of the prisoners
should be executed without the consent Of
England, but this decision was afterwards
abandoned. 1t has since been arranged
that British officers of high rank shall
sit on the court martial at Cairo. 1t is not
intended that the gendarmerie proposed to
be organized in Egypt shall be differed en-
tirely by Englishmen, as it would thereby
become an English corps
Letters received at the Palace state that
two nights ago a procession paraded through
the streets OF Cairo, those in line shouting,
"Allah, protect Arab Pashal Allah, destroy
that Christian, Mehemed Tewfik ~
The Khedive has issued decree appoint
Ing special commission to Inquire into and
prosecute the authors Of the outrages COM
mitted here in June last. The commission
is composed OF four Europeans and
three natives, and is under the Presidency Of
q native, foreign cOnsulates to be represent
ed at the sitting of the commission. These
representatives may make communications,
but will have no vote. The Khedive has
also issued g decree appointing a similar
commission to sit at Tantah to investigate
the crimes committed in other parts of
Egypt during the rebellion. A train Of i'm
mense length arrived here to-day from
Cairo, bringing several thousand natives,
who alleged that Arab had forced them
to leave their homes.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pany from COnstsntinople says: 1.-The an
bsssadors express confidence IN the policy
of England in regard to Egypt, and advise
the Porte to act In accord with her."
The Tunes, in leader on the SueZ canal,
declares that in an age when the control of
nations over arms OF the sea passing through
or commanded by their territory is being
everywhere abolished, It IS impossible that
we can allow the directors OF the company
to RrrOgste powers as extensive as were ever
claimed by Denmark over the sound. The
naturalization Of the SueZ canal In It's rea-
sOnable sense, IS understood to mean that It
shall be regarded as an arm Of the sea. The
Times points out that the canal has practical
ly outgrown itself. There is now no question
OF its enlargement or OF the construction of 8
new one. NJ. De Lesseps, it says, perfectly
understands that there is room for such
scheme, though he may not be prepared to
carry II cut. The scheme, however, is
merely one of the engineering possibilities
of the future Were a new canal begun to-
morrow, English interests could not be left
in abeyance pending its completion. The
practical question just now, It says, is how
to secure ourselves IN case of complications
which may possibly arise against bet g
thWarted by NJ. De Lesseps. The subject OF
the canal will, we believe, seriously engage
the attention of Her MsiestY's Government.
A dispatch to the Times from Cairo says:
can examination OF the Treasury at Cairo
proves that about e200 600 were taken by
Arab, OF which 91S,000 have been discOV-

the correspondent adds, "that other def
clencies will be found IN the Department of
the Interior"
