moralized. he says the Egyptian generals
invariably place the irregulars in front in Or
der that the regulars may fire upon them If

AN INTERVIEW WITH DE LES5EPS.
PARIS, Sept. 2.-De Lesseps, who Just az.
rived here, in an interview on Egyptian affairs,
said that the first fact that should be known
regarding the Egyptian matter, il that the
moyem ent is a national one. He was COZ
WINGED that Arab has the nation at his back
His force at present is between 25 900 and
$4,000 Arabs: He has arms for 100000 and
when he needs men he can get them. De.
Lesseps had every reason to be satisfied with
the manner in which Arab behaved toward
the canal. The English had no need OF the
canal for their operations. The Arabs had
not placed a price on his head, or the con-

had received letter from Arab, saying i:
was not his fault and giving him notice
that the SweetwatE canal would
be cut. The English sailors had behaved very
bad. firing right and left in the streets and
killing many Arab women and children, and
one of De Lessp's own employees. The English
| army was very well organized. He thinks the
war will be long one and its final result can
. not yet be forecast. No serious operations
could be undertaken until the hot weathe,
4 and overflow of the Nile was at an end in DC.
tOber. 1t is not true that Arab had mutilat-

England had been long intending to
get her finger into Egypt OF
one pretext or another. The whole
trouble had been caused by an intrigue of
/. Malet, and for the purpose OF affording
England this opportunity He had not seen
any OF the actual fighting, but there had been
many more killed and wounded among the
British than reported There were also many
cases Of sunstroke, and some cholera, too.
When he had been IN Egypt before the troubls
began be had found some opposition to Arab
I among the Bedouin chiefs, but now he BE-
