Pasha has sent flag of truce offering to sur
render. General Wood telegraphed General
| Wolseley for instructions. A deputation
| from Cairo is at Kafr FL Dwar awaiting to
come in. The enemy have opened the cana,
and the water is coming down rapidly. Or
ders have been iEsued that the dykes at
| Meekp, In Lake Msriotos, be closed.
The conditions of the surrender are not yet
known. The general opinion here is that the
British. The British troops have been or
dered to hold themselves in readiness to take
possession of Kafr Ell Dwar.
1t is reported that Arab Pasha has been
| captured near Benha.
Butras Pasha has arrived at Kafr FL
Dwar, en- route TO Alexandria, as the dele
| gate of the inhabitants of Cairo, charged to
declare their loyalty to the khedive.
Negotiations for the surrender are pro-
| ceeding satisfactorily. The British will
probably occupy Ka6r Ell Dwar tomorrow.
1t is stated that the surrender will be uncon-
ditional.
Arab Pasha and Toulba Pasha arrived al
Cairo last night. They are both virtually
prisoners.
I0OCLock PM-Butras Bey, Reouf Pasha
and Ali Pasha Raobi arrived to-day and
proceeded to the palace, where they presented
| the khedive, on the part of the inhabitants
of Cairo, an address pledging loyalty and
submission. They were delegated to present
this address at = meeting held yesterday, at
which there were present several high func-
tionarieS, notables and ulemas, including the
shiek FL Edwi, hitherto a staunch partisan
of Arab Pasha. The sheikb, however took
no part in the proceedings of the meeting.
The delegates came from Cairo to-day by the
railway, which is intact. Butras Bey told
the khedive that the rebel force at Tel Ell
Kibsr at the time of the British attack con-
sisted Of 10000 regulars, 1000 Bedouins and
5000 volunteers The first news of Wednes-
days battle that reached Cairo reported
great Egyptian victory, and when
subsequently it was announced that
Arab Pasha was on his way to
Cairo it was rumored that he bore with
him Admiral Seymour's head. The people of
Cairo had never heard of General Wolseley,
and imagined that Admiral Seymour COM
manded the British forces. When Arab
Pasha arrived alone the populace stoned
him. Everything was quiet in Cairo when
the delegates left there.
The offer to surrender Kafir Ell Dwar is
not unconditional, as reported from Cairo.
The project OF police arrested Arab Pasha
AT LONDON.
LONDON, September 14-General Wood
telegraphs the war Office from Alexandria
to-day as follows: "Au officer from Kafir Ell
Dwar has brought letter saying all the
military chiefs wish to submit to the khedive
They have given orders TO open the canal
dam and ask me to reopen the telegraph.
They state that the army had stopped all
hostiliiies"
General Wolseley telegraphs that the cav
airy will push ON to Cairo to-day by forced
| marches along the desert route.
General Wolseley telegraphs that about
sixty guns were captured at Tel Ell Killer.
He says Arab has gone to Cairo. General
Wolseley hopes the cavalry will occupy
| Beliefs Today, and the infantry will arrive
| there tomorrow. He expects TO take possess
sion of Benha to-day, and if all is we'll to
| advance to Galioub, if not 10 Cairo, with the
Guards.
The Times, in an article on the attack on
Tel FL Kiber, says: at is impossible TO con-
ceive of an operation more successful, and
the execution in a more mastery manner.
The whole plan OF the campaign was settled
by General Wolseley, with the concurrence
OF his superiors and hearty acquiescence of
his chief advisers, before he left England.
There never was any question about the ca
nal being the basis of operations. Before he
| left Euglan he put his finger upon Tel Ell
Kiber, saying there Arab would stand, and
we should attack him on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. We mention the circumstance to
show that great deal which to an outside
observer seems chance is really foreseen,
planned or allowed Tor. General Wolseley
has achieved a success which renders all
apology for his methods superfuous."
