will be sent to General Wolseley. From
internal evidence it is believed that its
statements are correct. The substance of
the information has been telegraphed to
General Wolseley. 1t is belived that the in
fuence of Mahmoud Fehmy will be useful
in bringing over the rebels. Mahmound

British troops. Ae says he surrendered.

encourage of the Khedive, including Cherif
Pasha, the Prime Minister, of having COM
municated with Arab Pasha.

raid to-day upon the villages between Alex

in the native quarter. A placard in Arabic
and English, stating the cause of the execu-
tion, will be attached to the gLllows.
PRECAUTIONS.
The authorities are taking stringent
measures to prevent the indiscriminate
landing of persons without means or en-
ployment One hundred and fifty such per-
sons, who landed yesterday, have been sent
to the arsenal, pending decision as to
whether or not they shall be compelled to
return on board the vessels from which
they disembarked. The quar- Iantine against
ships from Bombay has been entirely
| removed, and that against ships from Alden
| will be discontinued provided precautions
be taken.
Operations have been commenced for the
opening of the old channel beyond Meks,
with the view of letting the sea into Lake
| Mareotis. 1t will take nearly two months
to reach depth of eight feet.
woLsELEY WAITING.
IsMAILIA, Sept. 5.--It is not expected that
the troops will have enough provisions to be
ready to advance for at least week. Gen
eral Wolseley is making every effort to or
ganize a complete system of supply for the
field force The task is much more serious
than the foreign element in Egypt is willing
1 to admit.
Meanwbile the enemv is conteut In he
| purely ON the defensive. 1t is rumored that
| Arab Pasha has brought heavy guns from
Cairo to Tel-el-Kebir to silence the British
| forty Founders on the armed train. Matters
| are proceeding smoothly at Kassassin.
| Food is abundant at present, but the daily
| consumption is so grea: that it will not be
easy to provide supplies for future use.
1t is believed from reconnaissance in the
direction of Salihiyeh that that place has
been abandoned by Arab Pasha. On the
other hand reports from Port Said state that
over 5000 Arabs are fortifying Salihiyeh.
The enemy are said to be embarking their
baggage and military stores from Fort
Ghemileh. Some rebel officers have
arrived here to tender their submission.
The fresh water canal at Ismailia is falling
rapidly. The water company has reduced
the supply at Ismailia and Port Said. Arab
Pasha has established line of defense from
Ell Karaim to Salihiych.
Large numbers of Bedouins have again
been seen on the banks of the canal between
Port Said and Ismailia.

LONDON, Sept. 5, 1Ss2--Orders have
been received at Woolwich to dispatch 200
