POINT SETTLED.
Lord Dufferin informed Said Pasha
and Assym Pasha at ConstantInople that his
government, yielding to the objections Of the
Sultan, were prepared to waive the demand

approve the proposed operations, the Turkish
commander would still be at liberty to carry
them out. Said Pasha then urged that the
landing OF Turkish troops in Alexandria was
indispensable for the future combined action

Turks would make Alexandria, which the
English would evacuate, their base OF opera
