HOW ENGLAND VIEWS TIE SURRENDER
IBY CABLE TO TIE rRIBUNEl
IovDoS. Sept. lG.-The nation calmly accepts the
brilliant military exploits OF the week. There are
no il.uminatious or public demonstrations and eX-
cent the Queens congrltulatOry message to the
Kacdiye. the newspapers alone reflect the national
prde over the events in Egypt. Mono the less IS
there much rejoicing at General Woseey's mar
yellous success. The country is deeply grateful
and will not withhold its rewards from the army
Already We hear Of a subscription for sword OF
honor for General Wolseley and there are few who
do not admit that he has well earned feerase
Sin Garnet Wolseleys declaration that the war is
over was slightly premature. Damietta where

deeply compromised. is in command, refuses to sur
render The difficulty is oaly temporary, as the
British garrison at Alexandria will soon be at
liberty. Otherwise the surrender is universal.
Mos. + The rebel leaders are in the hands of the
Vncllsh: the others are actively pursued. Public
opinion here is divided to their fate. The charge
of military characterization will probably be got
rid Of since The rebels acted with the sanction of
the Cai,ph; but for those conc erned at Alexandria
the severest punishment VIII be demanded. Arabls
compicity in the ma ,s1cre at Alexandra has not
been established, though The Spectator says he and
lie other leaders must be hanged. If be escapes
the rope he will probably be banlshed. ana the
ornv will be disbanded and replaced By a gen
dannerie
The Khedve shortly resumes the affairs
Of government at Cairo. The ultimate fate OF
Egypt .excites keen discussion here and abroad
Tie strongest feeling prevails IN England that what
has been So gallantly won by the sword must not
be Whitfield away by diplomacy and Mr. Glad
ftone will have a difficult task to reconcile the
wishes Of the country with the demands OF Europe.
Few people sympathize with the annexation cry
but the disposition is to secure the next best terms
Schemes of a settlement are numerous, and there
is much founderng III the business. One OF tie
most farsecug, it appears, Is that OF The Spec
tator which advocates the transfer of the Porte'S
suzerainty to England, or as an alternative, the
wardenship of the Sucz Canal, with the right Of
garrisoning Port Said lsmailia and Suez Mr..
Gladstone is hampered by the protocol OF disin-
telestedness The PaH Mall Gazette says that his
policy will be- not one OF absorption but the estab-
lshInent Of Egypt as an Oriental Belgium. That
this will satisfy the English people is very prob
lematcal.
In the Conference the main difficulty promises to
be with Russia. who will try to retort with the
game successfully played by Lord Beacouseld in
Berlin. The military convention with Turkey is a
standing joke. and the report of any proposal to

Ii is now Acknowledging the greatest joke OF all
that it is to be modified TO suit the altered crcuin
stances
