Show There have been no exciting developments within the last few days in Egypt. On Aug. 19th a skirmish occurred between the British and the forces of Arabi Pasha. Information through a British channel admits the excellence of Arabi's earthworks, and the accuracy of the fire of his artillery. Arain? is evidently preparing for a long struggle. Under his orders the population of portions of the interior are engaged en masse on earthworks, and there seems to be a determination on the part of his followers to support him in a vigorous campaign. |
