that France and EnRlsnd began to send
their ships to Alexandra. The IMPERIAL
government several times had pointed
o to the powers that the sending Of
heC would aggravste the situation, and
perhaps trouble the tranquility of the
country. ALI legitimate steps led to no
result. His Majesty the Sultan then sent

commissioners that be only wanted the
maintenance Of the rights In Egypt OF
His Majesty, the Sultan; tae continue
tiOu of tue frmans; the maintenance of
abuses on tina part of foreigners which do
not form part Of International con-
ventions. Three days after their
arrival 10 Egypt the commits
sioners succeeded in recOncilinE the
two parties. But unfortunately the |
presence Of the feet and the simple |
dispute Of Maltese and q donkey bog
brought about the regretable events of |
the Alexandria riots. Every body agrees
hat there was no pcemeditation on the |
part of the Egyptians; that the Arabs |
fought with sticks and that the Egyptian
army, considered as a rebellio1s body
acted 10 suppressin9 the
massacre. It has also been proved that
among the Egyptian dead and wounded |
many bore the marks Of bayonet wounds. |
As soon as the news OF the disorder |
reached the Khedive At Cairo, bis high |
ness, together with the commissioner Of |
His Majesty, the Sultan, and the EgyD- |
ian cabinet, fastened to Alexandra and |
