body of troops near enough to Karin to
check any ordinary flank movement Sat
urday an attack wes threatened from the
direction of Salahieh. To-day large num-
bers OF Egyptian troops are moving, down
toward karaim from Mandarin, and those
previously advanced from Salahieh are
again active. 1t is impossible to obtain
any estimate of the strength OF either

Mandarah are nearly equal distant from

latter northweft. II is feared that Arab

Wolseley with three strong bodies OF
troops, one in the front and two on the
flank. The news from Alexandria shows
Arahi's forces at Meks forts and those al
Aboukir mean to so engage the British
forces at Alexandria as to prevent any
further reinforcements thence for Gen.
Wolsely. Reports from the advanced out
posts show that the Egyptian troops are
swarming over the country northeast OF
Karaim. A large number of wounded
Arabs were brought here from the front
