EGYPT'S UNPLEASANTNESS.
An encounter between the British mounted
patrol and party of 500 Bedouins, occurred
the 10th near Ramleh. Five of the latter were
killed. Gen. Sk Garnet Wolsley, with the
authority Of the Khedive, issued 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 viii be respected and all supplies
paid for. Gen. Wolsley adds, he will be glad
to receive all chiefs who are disposed to as
sist in suppressing 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
Two DEGREES were promulgated at Alexan-
dria the 18th. One authorizing the British
Admiral and commander of the force to oc-
cupy such points on the Suez isthmus as they
consider useful for military operations against
the rebels, and inviting the Egyptian author
tiles to acquaint the inhabitants, particularly
the canal employees, with the decree. The
other authorizes the British authorities to
prevent the importation of coal and NUM-
tions of war along the coast between Alex
andria and Port Said. Natives from Kafr
Eld'war report that Arab Pasha SUNDAY
called meeting of the ulemas and obtained
from them a ftwa deposing the Sultan and
naming the sheriff of Mecca as Caliph. Arab
they also say, is organizing the Bedouins, and
has appointed commanders for these at Char
kies and at Garbieh, Egypt.
Operations in Egypt the 14th were of minor
Importance. The Khedive appointed fifteen
of his household officers to act as guides and
Interpreters to the advancing English army.
Arab Pashas troops are unusually busy erect
ing works beyond Milasa junction. Much ex-
element was reported at Port Said. An out
break was thought possible at any moment.
Ships were ready for action, one hundred
rounds of ammunition being served nightly
The sick list of the British is seventy-six inva-
lids not including wounded. Requirements
were sent to Fort Mex, as it was expected the
enemy would attempt to surprise the fort.
The iron-clad train on its way to Fort Mex
was reported to have been again attacked by
Arabi's men and the British returned the fire
killing number.
