LONDON, Aug. 3a.-A dispatch from Ismail-
ia in the second edition of the Daily News con-
meets the arrival of Sultan Pasha and the late
Governor of Zagazg with rumors that the
rebels are desirous to negotiate. 1t says great
importance is attached at Ismailia to the visit
of the two. 1t should be remarked that as
they are sent by the Khedive it seems impos-
sible that they can promise anything on behalf
of the followers of Arab Pasha.
A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Port
Said, dated at 7.45 a. m. today, says Arab
Pasha has asked for an eight days armistice.
Gen. Wolssley refused, but offered an armis-

done for several days, unless Arab again
forces our hands

MADRID, Aug. 31.-All the powers, includ-
ing England, have replied favorably to the

affairs the proposal for collective protection of
the canal will be without result

founded.
LONDON, Sept. IA Tunis dispatch from
Alexandria says: News has been received from
Cairo that at meeting of notables, Aug. Goth,
at which the Governor OF Ismailia was present
speeches were made recognizing Arab Pasha
as the sole ruler of Egypt The Prefect of
Police on hearing this declared against Arab
Pasha, and ordered the arrest of all persons
present at the meeting. He is organizing Tur-
kish police for the protection of the Khedives
interest. The Governor of Elarish has decar-
ed for Arab Pasha, aid has influenced two
tribes OF Bedouins in his favor.
