In the Mohammedan world tradi.
tlons as to the future destiny OF Islam
arc important iactors in the regulation
OF popular sentiment. Que Is to the
effect that Russia faally will tear
down the crescent on the Sophia
mosque at Constantinople; another is
that from Abysainla will come the
power that lie to destroy Mecca and
Medina, the most sacred places OF the
followers OF the Arabian prophet. 1t
is on account OF this latter prediction
that the Turkish sultRns and the
Egyptian khedives alwhys have
strained every nerve to prevent the
negus from getting a foothold at
Massowah, seaport convenient for
ombaTkalion OF an expedition TO
Mecca.
The question OF the possession Of
MasBowRh seems now, however, TO be
burnisg one. Kassala and Massowah
originally belonged to Egypt, but
when Itsly, supported by Great Brit
ain, undertook her adventurous expe.
dilion to the Rsd sea, they were
turned over 10 her on the understRnd-
ing, however, that should Italy be
unable TO hold them, both places
should be restored to Egypt or Eng
land. Italy has now decided TO
abandon her colony in that part OF
tho world, and one OF the stipulatlons
Of the treaty o peace with the Abys-
sinian ruler is, that the territory by
The Rsd Sea abandoned by Italy shall
be turned over to Abyssiuia. MeneIek
now insists, it seems, unon the fuliil-
ment of this part Of the agreement,
and he believes he can count upon the
moral support OF France and Russia,
should struggle for the possession Of
the two places ensue.
Nassala lie important as commanding
the ion Of the upper Nile, ana Eng.
land cannot afford to leave 1t in the
hands OF her opponents. Steps are
already being taken to occupy both
Kassala aud Massowah, md 1t is not
impossible that the negus viii veo-
turo battle with the Auglo- Egyptian
force before he relinquiehes the rights
acquired by the treaty with King
Humbert.
