The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-07-13

sorry that hostilities were begun, as it
was the only way in which the end
could be made and the fate of two par
ties, viz: The one In favor of the
khedive and the other of Arab Bey
and then anarchy could be decided.
The officials were conveyed ashore after
Seymour had given his decision in writ
ing. AT $50 a. m. an order passed to
load with she'll and satisfaction was
shown on the faces of the sailors. The
wind and sun were both in the ensmies
favor. 1t was sometime before the
smoke lifted to afford a glimpse of the
shore. AS nothing could be seen from
the deck a midshipman was posted in
the maintop to signal directions of
shell and the accuracy of firing i'm
proved. No news from the town OF
Alexandria. War news are given with
encouragement to recruiting young
men coming forward in considerable
numbers. A Times correspondent at
Alexandria describing yesterdays
bombardment, particularly mentions
the deadly effect of the electric broad
sides from ships which attacked the
Pharos and Rosel Tin forts. The In
flexible being furthest westward was
able to shell the Mexs fort with one
ferret and BASEL Tin forts with others.
After all the enemies guns were
silenced the men of war continued
Smelling Notifications and used sharp
nell, probably at %retreating soldiers.
The correspondent adds: 1t is at
least three weeks since England pro-
posed to France to join in occupation
OF the Suez canal, but as France raised
objections, England gave up the idea of
French co. operation in that direction
and turned her attention to Alexan-
dria. Since then she has constantly
urged France to keep her company, and
until the last moment she had not
given up hope.
A London dispatch from Suez says:
No merchant vessels have entered the
Cdudl III bhC dob 10 houlo. All OulDo,
including the Indian mail steamers,
remain in the road stead. The whole
European population is afloat. The
British consul in pursuance of Admiral
.Seymour's instructions has hauled
down his flag and gone aboard the
gunboat.
London, July IA correspondent
on board the Helican sends the follow
ing: The loss of the Egyptians must
be dreadful. A number of sheels re-
peatedly struck the works just about
the guns and threw up vast volumes of
yellow dust. 1t vas after thought that
the guns must have been demolished,
but they appeared uninjured when the
smoke had cleared. The funnel of the
Superb is pierced and the plate below
the foremost glaeis torn away. One of
the boats Of the Inflexible is useless
and another badly damaged. The
Inlexible bore full brunt of the west
end of the Rasel Tin fort for three and
q half hours. The Sultan was shot
clean through her main mast and
through her funnel. The harem ad-
joining the Rasel Tin and adjacent to
Rifle Town continued to burn all
night.
Alexandria, July 12.-It is likely the
European quarter has been seriously
damaged. Several shells from the
lnflexible were seen to burst immedi.
ately over the center of the town.
London, July 12.-In the house of
commons this afternoon, Dixie, under
secretary of foreign affairs, said: AS
far as he is aware, Admiral Seymour
had merely cautioned merchant vessels
that they would pass through the Suez
canal at their W risk. He added he
was unware that torpedoes had been
laid in the canal.
In the house of commons this after
noon Gladstone said he had made COM
m~unications to other governments in
regard to the free navigation of the
Suez canal which he thought it his
duty to make.
Sir Wilfred Lawson declared the &C.
ton of England was a%troclous, cruel
and cowardly.
Gladstone said the action Of the gov
eminent had been quite apart from
the interest of the bondholders, adding
that 1t would be unjust on his part to
discuss the reasons for the course taken
by France. He also said the massacre
at Alexandria remained unavenged and
uninvestigated. The effect would be
serious 10 Europeans. The present
Egyptian regime was one of military
violence. The proceedings Of Great
Britain were not against the people,
but against their oppressors.
Dixie denied that Arab Pasha rep
resented the national movement. He
denied that yesterdays action was an
assassination. Austria and Germany
approved it, and that the European
concert would settle the Egyptian
question.
Suez, July 12.-Natives of all classes
are sending their families into the inte-
rior, the government ~defraying ex-
penses. Town quiet.
Constantinople, July 12.-Said Pasha,
the new president of the council of
ministers, renewed the request of the
porte that the bombardment of Alex
andria cease, but it is understood that
England is unable to give effect to this
