THE WAR IN EGYPT.-Preparation for the
British advance from Alexandria have been in
progress during the past week. The greatest
secrecy Is maintained in regard to military move
ments. The London Post is authority for the
statement that the porte has countermanded the
military preparations for the expedition to Egypt
and declines to accept the British conditions for
military convention. Telegraphic communica-
ton has been established between Port Said and
Suez. Arab Pasha's patrols have been seen ten
miles from Suez, and it is reported that his out
posts near there number $500 men. The re-
ported attack on the Aboukir forts Saturday af-
ternoon was only ruse to enable the British war
vessels to proceed to Port Said. The fleet sailed
for Aboukir on Saturday afternoon, but steamed
quietly to the eastward and at three o clock Sum

are now stationed there. Ismailia was also oc.
cupied about the same time, the Egyptians hav-
ing been shelled out OF Nefich. The Suez canal
is likewise in possession OF the British, and mer-
chant vessels have been denied entrance thereto.
Sunday Major General Wood made reconnai-
sance of Arabis position Saturday, and the
Egyptians, In attempting flank movement late
in the afternoon, lost quite heavily the English
accounts placing the casualties at three hundred
The British outposts at Rameh made demon
stration Monday afternoon and some artillery
shots were exchanged. 1t Is reported that Arab
Pasha is moving up trains from Kafr ell Dwar and
that he will concentrate his forces at Damanhour.
Affairs at Port Said are unchanged. The Arabs
fraternize with the Europeans and business goes
on the same as before the occupation. The in
vading force there numbers about 900. General
Wolseley telegraphed that slight skirmsh had
occurred at lsmaia, but no particulars had been
