The Egyptian Situation.

LONDON, January 24-Some surprise
was expressed yesterday at the news
from Cairo that Lord Cromer had ex-
pressed himself so confidently in regard
to the prompt suppression of any out
break that might occur. To-day's adj
vices give the grounds for Lord Cromer' S
cofidence. His Lordship is assured of
the entire fidelity of the native Egyptian
army to the British cause, and, with the
British army of occupation cooperating
with the native troops, it is believed that
any attempt at insurrection would be
promptly crushed.
A Cairo dispatch says that Lord Crom-
er called upon the Khedive this morning
to inform him that the British Cabinet
had ordered an increase of the British
garrison in Egypt The dispatch does
not state how the Khedive received the
news, but no doubt is felt that it had a
profound impression in dissipating any
idea that Mr.. Gladstone intended to
abandon Egypt.
The latest dispatches from Cairo state
that the hostility OF the Khedive towards
the English shows no sign of abating. In
answering the threat uttered by Lord
Cromer to the effect that a complete
change of regime might be necessary in
the event of resistance to British author
ity, the Khedive replied that he only
yielded to force. The Khedive has been
strengthened in his attitude of antago-
nism toward the English by deputations
from the provinces, headed by local Of
ficials hostile to British control. These
deputations have addressed the Khedive
in fulsome and fatteing language, con-
graduating him on his opposition to the
English.
CAIRO, January 24-The Khedive de-
nies any intention to dismiss British Off
cials from the Egyptian service. lsmail
Pasha's son, Chief of the Khedive's
military household, has resigned, but
his resignation has not been accepted.
LONDON, January 24.-The reinforce
nlents to be sent to Egypt are not likely
to exceed 1000 troops and two war ships
for Alexandria and Port Said and one
war ship for Suez
French Excitement.
PARIS. January 24.--The sensation in
France over the action of the British in
Egypt is increasing. The course taken
by England is looked upon as proving

newspapers unanimously call upon the
government to vindicate the rights of
France.
