The D0.. LOCO --s tie following from
Alexandria, under date OF the 17th: 'More
than q hundred officers and men came In
here to-day from Aboukir. The men car
ried four hundred and five rifles, bringing
besides their own those of their comrades
who had fled. The arms and horses given
up are in good condition. I5rahim Bey
Tewfk, formerly Governor of Behereh,
had been In prison for several weeks, having
been incarcerated by the order of Arab.
He reports that Zigszlg and the surround
ing country are In ruins, and that Mansourah
has been pillaged."
The Times says: "The punishment for the
crime Of rebellion is death, and, without
vindictiVeness, it may be said that never
was that punishment more richly earned
than by Arab Pasha and his Chiefs"
The correspondent of the Times at Alex
andria says: "One of the Egyptian officers
who surrendered explains that Arab left
his best soldiers at Kafr ell Dwar because he
thought the move on Ismailia was q ruse,
and that the real attack Of the British would
be on Kafr ell Dwar. 1t is known that the
Sultan has quite recently been in communi-
cation with Arab through Damietta, and
there can be no doubt that the resistance OF
the commander OF that place originates from
StambOul."
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Company
from Port Said states that the commander
of Damietta also holds Forts Dibba and
Ghemilah. The Governor of Port Said sent
an Arab to the rebel commander on Friday,
but the messenger has not returned.
The British have occupied Tantah.
A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company from Alexandra reports that one
of the participants In the June massacre
was hanged to-day. 1t is reported that the
gunbOats and troops have been ordered to
operate against Abdallsh Pasha, who is still
holding Damietta. Train service on the
railroad between Cairo and Alexandra has
been resumed. All the stations will be Oc-
cupied by the English.
The Times says the plan for utilizing the
10000 mules recently purchased for Egypt
as a nucleus for the formation of peTml-
nent transport for the first army corps, will
receive the serious attention OF the War
Office.
LONDON, September 19.-The DaiIg Nes5s
has the following dispatch:
ALEXANDRIA, September 1S.-The reei-
ment which left Aboukir last night to Join
Abdallah Pasha at Damietta, was Arab
Pasha's own and numbered 500 men. While

The garrison of Aboukir, which was
nd n In afr al 70
render, marched out of the place last even
ing. but an entire regiment with their arms
moved off eastward TO join Abdallah Pasha
at Damietta. The remainder Of the first
detachment, about one hundred and fifty
men, reached Kafr ell DWar at eight O'Clock
this morning. Many others had escaped on
the way, carrying off two or three rifles
each. The rest OF the garrison, numbering
five or six thousand, arrived st Kafr eli
Dwar at noon. They were disarmed. The
men were dismissed to their homes and the
officers detained. The reports of the pillag-
ing of Mansourah arose from a mob smash

CALCUTTA, 8 ptember 1S.-The Indian
Government announces the issue Of loan
of 25,OOO,OOO rupees to meet the expenses

CAIRO, September 1S.-Arabi Pasha in
formed General Lowe that he trusted him
self to English honor as a soldier whose
army had been defeated. General Lowe re-
piled that he could not discuss the question
of the war. His only mission was to arrest
him. Arab considered that NJ. de Lesseps
shamefully betrayed the National Egyptian
party, who depended upon his assurances
that he would prevent any landing of troops
or war material by way OF the canal.
