the barbarians because they served th

meeting at Cairo Of all psshas, ulems
and notables, and asked them whether i
was right to obey the Khedive, aaeing b
had sold Egypt TO the English, ordered
the military bake-houses TO make 1,5O
losves daily for the British, without pro
Vicing for his own troops, and sent tele
grams in their name. The minister o
the interior presided at the meeting. Ma
homed Pasha Buroudi practically di
reeted the discussion. Shelhi PAsht
recommended the declaration Of holy
war, but at the instance Of 8 CoptiC
patriarch moderation prevailed. The
meeting appointed q committee to go t.
Alexandria in order to verify the seclSa'
tions against the Khedive. It was ar
ranged that q committee of seven should
start on the 18th inst, going from Cairo

1t is calculated there is sufficient fresh
water in Alexandra 10 last ten days.
Deserters say Arab Pasha is not en-
trenehed and has not entrenching tools.
Arab is having erected Notifications
just opposite the Aboukir Bay, and upon
MshmoudicA fresh water csnAl. He
hes placed dam in the canal below his
position close to the fertilization and cut
the canal banks above the dam so IS to
send water all along in front Of his posi-
ton. This shows that Arab Pasha has
made great mistake as by dsmning the
canal where he has lie secures US plenty
of water for some time. We have set to
work to fill the reservoirs here, so as TO
save all the water possible, but plenty
will remain in the canal for the present
purposes.
Over 100 of Arabi's soldiers deserted
him on Wednesday and came here. The
meeting Of sheiks, ulemas and notatles
at Cairo was held in consequence of the
receipt Of the Khedive's letter dismiss
sing Arab. The railway authorities re-
port sll ready for the advance of troops.
Al 7.3O this evening water was still flow
ing in the fresh water canal bat the exit
from the canal into the sea il being
blocked by party Of marines, so that
water below the point where Arab cut
it will be retained.
Arabi's line extends from Lake Mare
otis to Aboukir. Having got some tools
he is now making works. We are in
sVMe tFepidation about water and in
quiries are making about condensers.
The tank vessel, Supply, is ordered here
from Port Said. She will be able to
furnish sufficient water for the troops.
Admiral Seymour has issued q proclama-
ton declaring by sunset on Sunday all
pillsge property and unclaimed goods
msy be brought to Lord Charles Beres-
ford, and that anybody bringing such
things by that tiae will not be crimin-
ally treated, but anybody that has goods
Of that nature and does not bring them
in, if found out will be visited by per-
sonal property seizure, and the pilferers

to meet the cases of many Arabs who
have hidden the plumber in their houses,
Some have already brought in what they

net Wolsley will command the exedi- |
lion to Egypt, which will consist of 20,- |
BOO, all arms. Another battalion Of |
