I'VE also accept the Sultan's friendly aid.
We are glad to be relieved of the uncer-
tainty regarding the real intentions of the
sultan, caused BY the decoration bestowed
upon Arab Pasha. We still REQUIRE that A
proclamation be issued supporting the au-

Regarding the point that England Is
Obliged TO maintain troops In Egypt In con.
sequence Of the inaction of the Porte. the
ottoman representatives are of the opinion
that action on the part of the Sultan would
be more practical and eflcacious than
ection BY England. The assertion of in
action on the part of the Porte &c un-
founded, as after the presentation of the
Identical note the Porte agreed to take part
In the Conference and to despatch troops 10
Egypt. +. =.
dispatch troops to Egypt was based upon
the tenor of the identical note and satisfied
the powers; bat the attitude adopted by
England, in subordinating her acceptance
OF the arrival and cooperation of Turkish
troops to the proclamation Of Arab Pasha
as rebel, is not In accordance with the sat-
isfaction expressed by the powers.
Thirdly. The Porte never declined the
assistance of the powers to maintain the
stdtuSqsO, which was proved by Turkey ac-
cepting the conditions Of the identical note
relating to the future of Egypt.
"Fourthly. Regarding the issue Of
proclamation declaring Arab Pasha rebel,
the Porte hopes the Conference VIII approve
Of q. proclamation being issued simulta-
neously with the presence Of Ottoman troops
In Egypt, In order 10 obtain an efilcacious
and practical result whenever disorders re-
quire the adoption of vigorous measures.
AS the proclamation is 10 explain the stu
alton and to impeach q subject Of the Sultan
who was decorated at moment when man
ifesting fidelity, 1t must derive Its force
from the immediate cooperation of In
perial troops, whose absence at the pnomul-
CATION would render the provisions of the
proclamation barren of results and aggra-
vate the present state of things.
+" The Conference will recognize in Porte
the sincere desire TO restore order and to
establish loyal understanding with the
powers"
RUssIA's POSITION.
ST. PETERSBURG, August "A semi
official statement is published that Russia
never endorsed the Anglv-F French naval
demonstration In Egyptian waters, but, on
the contrary, declared that, although not
Wishing toioppose, she would never eicour
age isolated action. This continues 10 be
the standpoint of Russia, who aims 70 in
duce Great Britain again to Join in the
European programme, and TO combine her
action with that of the Porte on the basis of
the decisions of the Conference.
