This morning l visited Arab Bey at the
admiralty Office. He received me standing,
Immediately afterward getting on a divan
and coiiing his legs under him. l asked
him to oblige me with his views of the pres
ent situation, whether any compromise was
possible and, il SO, what. He seemed ham
pered by the number of people around him.
On his right sat Morocco chief and in front
a Bedouin chief from Tripoli, besides many
officers. He made no answer to my request,
but handed TO me letter asking me TO read
it. 1t was request from America for his
autograph, as the writer had many sigma
lures of distinguished men of the period.
In my presence he wrote letter TO the sp-
plicant, signing and sealing it with his own
hand. Soon afterward he excused himself
on. account of a council, requesting me TO
call in the evening. l did so.
Arab received me alone, most cordially
taking me by the hand and placing me in
chair. Then he said: England has no more
right to interfere in Egypt than any other
nation, and she must be content to accept
such a position. Egypt will pay her debt,
but will allow nosyinterference OF any kind.
The European sf.ployes will be retained in
the service as long as Egypt requires them.
The lives OF Europeans are safe unless En-
gland acts aggressively, In which case the
people might rise and carry all before them" /"

tation on the part of correspondents showing
me letter OF apology from an English cor
respondent for a misstatement. | then ques-
toned him "a to what he would do in certain
eventualities.
Arabi said: off Turkish troops are
sent to suppress the Egyptian army We will
resist them to the utmost. If they come TO
help US we will receive them as brothers.
Should European troops of any kind come
we will fight till DEATH" He expressed him
self Loyalty to the khedive, but refused to
answer questions about Dervish Pasha.
Many Bedouin chiefs entered At this time.
Arabi's attention was distracted by the
amount of hand kissing until he caught sight
of the stylographic pen | ueed. He seemed
curious about it, and ex planned its mech an
ism TO him, and requested that he would &C
cept, which he did. The interview, which
had taken the form of long speeches on both
sides, then terminated. He was most bitter
