LONDON, august f.-hA AlcAAnurtou uiS-
patch says the contents Of Arabi's mani
festo have now become public. The docu.
ment Is most warlike and is in the tone OF
q man backed by an enormous force and in
spired by the most patriotic feelings In
it he urges the Egyptians no lsnger to hest
tate as to their course of action, and points
out in strong language their duty in eI-
pelling the British troops, and il
need be, massacre the entire Chris
tan population in order to remove all pos.
sibility OF interference in the progress Of
MohamedaRism which no powers on earth
can stay. He warns the faithful to leave
Alexandria and not submit to the domina-
ton of the British troops, and announces
that at the proper moment IL will appear
that the entire population Of Egypt, Hur-
key, Tunis Algiers and other eastern coun-
tries are banded together for the overthrow
of Christian influence upon their soil.
1t is believed that the appearance OF this
manifesto was the cause of yesterdays &C
tivity and fastened the assembly Of troops
at the front in expectation Of an immediate
attack. This, however, appears to have
been another ruse on the part OF Arabi, and
after yainly waiting for an onslaught BY
his troops, the British cautiously advanced
at dusk Yesterday and found the enemys
posts all abandoned, much to the chagrin
OF Gen. Allison.
Small bodies Of Bedouins are now appear
ing in localities hitherto unfrequented.
Arabi's operations the past few days are
feared to be part Of deep game to entraP
the British, 1t is known that he has
powerful force under his command, and II
Is feared that the maturity OF his pro-
gramme will be followed by decisive move
ments.
AConstantinople dispatch says: The con.
ference is at dead lock; progress seems
impossible. The influence excited BY the
messages of De Lssseps is prov.
ing an impediment TO mutual
understanding. De LeSseps has repeated
his assertion that the Canal Company
has every reason to believe that the British
proceedings in regard to the canal are mere
devices, which, while done under the an
nounced authority Of the khediye, are vir-
tually without consent, and the khediye,
instead of being free, Is virtually held in
duress by the British.
The panic in Alexandria has apparently
subSided. Reconnaissance this morning by
the British show it impossible for Arab to
suddenly attack the English disastrously.

Sir Evylin Wood and the Wes: Kent regi.
ment. The Queen shook hands with the
officers, wishing them prosperous voyage
and speedy return. When the Queen re.
turned to the yacht Alberta, the troops on
the Catalonia swarmed the rigging and gave
rounds of ringing cheers. The Queen was
yisably moved by the demonstration:
Alberta and the other royal yachts followed
the Catalonia some distance.
CoNsTANTNoPLE. Augt S.-DeLesseps has
telegraphed the Porte, protesting against
Admiral Seymour's action concerning the
Suez Canal He declares il is in no danger
from Arab Pasha, who, he says, has al.
ready given many proofs OF humanity.
British occupation OF the canal will only
compromise it by affording Arabi Pasha an
example for violation Of its neutrality,
