emptied, cleaned and reilled with water,

clearing the ruins from the roadwaTs, the
Khedive was enabled to drive through the
town to-day"

articles on the Egyptian question which are |
regarded as being directly inspired, and |

state that the Egyptian question will be ripe |
for Germany after the Western powers |
have come to a mutual understand
ing to apply for the assent of |
Europe. In view of the general need of

all sides in her endeavor to bring about
settlement Of the question, especially If she |
strictly adheres to the role OF defender Of |
her just interests.
