principal traitors To his cause mutt be
put away. There were only about 40,
and ten minutes would suffice. The
loyal ministers naturally feel anxious.
Another correspondent telegraphs
from Alexandria: Arab Pasha is
threatening to cut the Mohamondich ca
nal which supplies thetown with water.
He now prevents provisions from en-
tering, so that as number of Euro
peans are returning there is likeli-
hood of famine. An unsuccessful
attempt to fire Cairo and an attempt to
sieze Englishmen's houses there were
frustrated by the loyal governor.

ton.
ARAgI's FORCE INCREASING.
LONDON, July 21.-The Times has
the following dispatch from Alexan-
dria: Arab Pasha's force is said 10 be
increasing. Hesitation in attacking
him is regarded as fatal mistake by
all authorities here, English and
foreign.
Along the southern base of School
ey's mountain, New Jersey, is an inter-
mittent spring whose waters flow only
when the wind is in certain direction.
1t is visited by the Indians, among
whom it is celebrated for its medicinal
properties.
ROBBED BY ARABS SOLDIERS.
LONDON, July 19.-The correspond
ent of the Telegraph at Alexandria
says: 81 drove yesterday, nine miles
along the line of Arab Pasha's re-
treat, and passed several villages, the
people in which are starving. The sol
diers robbed them of everything. The
entire route is lined with carriages and
dead horses. It is reported that the
Bedouins harassed the soldiers during
their retreat, killing 200."
IN THE COMMONS.
LONDON, July 22-In the house of
commons, Gladstone gave notice that
he would on Monday, ask for vote
for strengthening the forces in Egypt.
He said he would state the amount
wanted, Saturday. He said that if the
,ote of credit were agreed to he would
ask the house to proceed with the tax
bill to meet the increased expenditures
connected with the dispatching of forces
to Egypt.
At the request of Gladstone, num-
Der of questions about Egyptian affairs
were Withdrawn. Gladstone confined
the report that the sultan had agreed
to enter the conference, but said the
porte had not replied. AS to sending
troops to Egypt, the under foreign sec
rotary stated the government had de-
clared to the conference they reserved
the right with France of taking steps
to preserve the Suez canal. The En-
glish and French ambassadors at Con-
stantinople had informed the confer
ence they thought it desirable that &C
ton about the canal should receive
the sanction of Europe. France
and England therefore proposed
that powers be designated who
shall be charged in case of need with
protection of the canal In order to
save time the powers to be designated
should be authorized to decide on the
modification which should be exer-
cised in every case on principle OF
protocol reimbursement

ty, has expressed his sense of the ex-
cellent service of the gun boat Condor
and her commander, Lord Bresford, at
Alexandria, which, ne said, would re-
ceive special recognition.
A correspondent at Alexandria, says:
There will be public executions to-day
or to- morrow morEing. He is asked
to point out all the culprits who have
been connected in numbering Euro
peans under circumstances of excep-
tional barbarity during the lombard
ment. They will probably be shot by
Egyptian troops. 1t is quite possible
he says such executions will continue
for some time, as every day Drings to
light similar cases. The Times expresses
the belief that the opposition in par
Lament will move to vote on a dilatory
action with the government, after the
massacre at Alexandria in June, and
its want of foresight and preparation,
when the BON bardment has been de-
cidpd upOn.
