LONDON, July Is, 2:30 P. M.-An Alexan-
dria dispatch to the Times says: Thirteen
hundred Christian refugees were saved in
Coptic church during the massacre. The
fires in the town were undoubtedly directly
instigated by the principal supporters OF
Arabi Pasha, il moi by himself. After the
looting commenced the soldiers attacked
the original plunderers and robbed them OF
their prey.
"Arabi PAsha during the engagement was
at Fort Napoleon, which neither fred nor
received q shot. After the firing had ceased
he rode through the town, accom-
panied by Mahmoud, Lami and other
Ministers. Subsequently a party OF SOL
diers deliberately set fire to the French Con-
sulate. Another party proceeded in the
same systematic manner to set fire to other
parts OF the Great square. The whole dis
trict is so ruined that the street openings
are undistinguishable. The English Con-
sulste and quarter, containing great grain
aud cotton stores, escaped the nfagration.
There is no telegraphic communication
with anv place in the inGeyior."
The Times correspondent adds: 81 have
carefully questioned the foreign naval Off
GERS, and they are nearly unanimous in
thinking the feet fred with greater precis-
ion than they had believed possible. The
Americans were particularly enthusiastic
They took careful observations OF each shot,
and state that the result establishes the fact
that in a quiet sea a large ship is at no dis
advantage against fort, and small ship
Is much less than was supposed. The Ger
man officers expressed a similar opinion,
while the Austrians are much less cOmpli-
mentary."
