The latest news from Egypt is that the National
party are much elatcd at the refusal of Turkey to
take part ID the Conference. The Egyptian question
is now narrowed down to this: Either Arab or
the Khedive must quit the country; and as Arab
shows no patriotic desire to e1ace himself
for the good of his country, his view
being that it can only be saved by his maintaining
his position. and az the Khedve expresses deter
minatiol to remain at his post matter of duty,
the conviction is prevalent that hosilities
are inevitable sooner later In reply to
further question from The Standard correspondent
Arab Pacha replied to-day that in the
event of no Decentralization of European
troops he would, with the officers of
the army in accordance with accepted responsible
ties, maintain order; but he added: "We
would do so only long as 10 foreign
enemy actually landed troops on our
shores. If that were done it would be my duty to
fight till the last drop OF my blood was
shed. In that event the European
residents must necessarily be left to look
after themselves. my duty as humane minister
and soldier being then discharged"
1t is mentioned in reference to the
demands for active intervention that on
the night of the outbreak, the 11th.

boats to bring off the fuitives but the moment the
design was made known an order was given to
sound the assembly for the Egyptian soldiers;
and, the Governor representing to the Admiral that
pending the result general massacre of Euro
peaus would take place, the boats were recalled.
II is believed now that, In case of landing being
attempted at Alexandria. serious opposition would
be offered; but the National party are content
TO cut the water supply and to withdraw the sol
dery to the Interior whereupon they think that the
city would become the prey of the horde of Bedoulns
who are waiting in readiness to sack it,
