EGYPT,S UNPLEAsANTNRSs
An encounter between the British mounted
patrol and party of 500 Bedouins, occurred
the 10Th near Ramleh. Five of the latter were
killed. Gen. Sir Garnet Wolsley, with the
authority of the Khedive, issued a proclama-
ton to the people Of Egypt representing the
sole object of the British to be to restore the
authority of the Khedive. 1t says all parties
who are inhabitants will be kindly treated,
mosques will be respected and all supplies
paid for. Gen. Woisley adds, he will be glad
to receive all chiefs who are disposed to as
sist in supprcssing the rebellion. 1t is stated
in Turkish circles that the hesitation to issue
proclamation against Arab Pasha is owing
to the fact that telegram was received from
him expressing his readiness to submit to the
authority of the Caliph, but stating that he
could not leave his soldiers without head
until the arrival of the Turkish troops in
Egypt, when he would instantly hand over his
command to the Turkish General.
