every means to win over the Bedouins of
Alexandra. The Khedive drove out with
out an armed guard to-day, and afterward
held crowded reception. Arab Bey
Pasha kissed the Khedive's hand and

BILE slave, but directly afterwards he set In

The B erlin correspondent of the Times hss
had conversation regarding Egypt with a
man who had spoken on the subject to the
highest persons. According to this au
thority there is reason to believe that
Germany would support an invitation to
Italy to supply troops to restore order in
Egypt, that what Germany supports Austria
will sanction, and that Russia will certainly
prefer Italy's acting at the mandate of Eu-
rope to an English occupation.
