Called on for an Explanation.

ALEXANDRIA, July 20.-3:5O p. m.-
Plundering of houses just outside the
British lines at Ramleh continues. A
culprit caught in flagrante delictu was
killed by patrols.
The two expeditions which left last
night to repair the railways cut by the
rebels, on the Alexandria side of Mahalla
Junction, were completely successful in
their undertakings. The expeditions
consisted of British sappers, sailors and
marines, and Egyptian railway work
men. Both lines Of road were repaired,
and a considerable number of railway
wagons brought to Alexandria. The
British portion of the expeditions re-
turned early this morning without en-
cOuntering the enemy. The rebels are
making every effort to fOrtlfy the vicin-
ity of Port Said.
THE TIMES ON THE PoRTE's EXPEDITION.
LONDON, July 31.-The Times says:
We have Iample reasons for believing
that the expedition of the Porte now de-
termined to send to Egypt has no other
object than to thwart and oppose the
efforts England is now making to re-
store order there. Cooperation might
be accepted if the Turks should send
moderate cOntingenttO to act under orders
of British commander. The obvious
design of Turkey is to exclude England
altogether, and to maintain that we have
no right in Egypt 1t is Therefore en- mere ere
purpose of getting such worthless
pledges of good faith as proclamation
against Arabi Pasha. 1t is for the Brit
ish Cabinet to show that it appreciates
the gravity of the situation and to de-
wise measures for guarding the national
interests and for the vlndlcatlon OF
national interests and national honor,
both of which are in serious jeopardy.
A traveller just arrived from Sioutt re-
ports that Arab Pasha issued mani
festo declaring Khediye Tewfk, had sold
Egypt to the British and retired to Eng

pie to obey him until the prophet en-
fightened him to find worthy Khedive.
