Events Which Preceded the Bombard- ment. a THE SITUATION EXPLAINED—THE KHEDIVES— THE ALEXANDRIA RIOTS AND THEIR CONSE- QUENCES—ATTITUDE OF THE PORTE AND THE GREAT POWERS. The crisis in Egyptian affairs, which reached the culminating point on Monday in ths bomb- ardment of Alexandria by the English war ships, has beea of such gradual growth, and the causes leading to it so obscured by conflicting interests, that it is difficult for a foreigner, especially an American, to comprehend exactly the real situation. This confusion of ideas is not at all surprising when the complex condition of Egyptian politics and tbe continental character of the questions in dispute are taken into consideration. It is not a mere quarrel between two nations, where the di- viding lines between the contending parties are clearly defined, but it involves in the first place an Internal conflict. A party denominated as the national party, with the popular battle cry of “Egypt for Egypt and opposition to foreign- ers,” is arrayed against the constitutional gov- ernment under the Khedive. Then there is the Sultan of Turkey governing Bespt as a prov- ince, whose power Is defied. As if the situation was not sufficientiy complicated, England steps in on the plea that her interests in the Suez canal and the rights of the English holders of Egyptian bonds are endangered. France also claims a right of tn- terference in the interests of her bondholders, and through this entangled web of domestic and foreign complications is mingled the dis- semination and treachery of oriental diplomacy. In order to obtain as clear a view as possible through the clouds and mists that overhang the present phase of Egyptian affairs, it will be necessary to go back some years, and follow up some of the threads In this entangled maze. Beginning then with the origin of the present government, it isa matter of history that the province came into dispute first in 1799, when Napoleon invaded it and made it a dependency of france. England held its neutrality vital for her interests in the Mediterranean, and the famous victory of Nelson on the Nile was the result. The French were chased from the coun- try and the province restored to the suzerainty of the Sultan. Since then the ruling power has, through various revolutions and viciesi- tudes, become more and more independert of the Porte, until to-day the Khedive is virtually }an irresponsible ruler—save where the advice and consent of his fureign advisers is necessary. The advice and control are founded on the rights of European stogkholders whose money has for years been paid to the relyning Pashas. Khedive Ismail, the Sardanapalus of ERY! The Khedive Ismail, father of the present Tuler Tewfik, was put upon the throne in 1867 by the intrigues of the Emperor Napoleon. Ismail Pasha was not born to the Egyptian throne. He was a younger brother, and death only made way for his restless, intriguing am. bitton. Educated in Paris, he joined the lax habit of the empire to tie unchecked instine! of the Oriental. In the feverish atmosphere of the court of Napoleon III. his better instincts were scorched, and he set before himself the most ignoble models, A perfect master of the art of guile, he outwitted the most astute diplo- matists, and the Sublime Porte itself repeatedly retired from contests with a vassal as unscrupu- lous as le was subtle and able. When, by the death of his brother, Ismal! was called to the throne in 1867—very much against the real wish of the Sublime Porte, which acceded only to the strong request of Napoleon iff.—the Sardana- palian character of the young man was well known. He took the place of ruter of the four million Egyptians not with the generous aspira- tion of introducing the civilization that he had mastered in Europe, but rather with a determi- onto make that civilization serve him in plundering more adroitly his hapless subjects. Though everything that had been done in the country, from his accession to his deposition had been inspired in his own interest, it would be a mistake to suppose that ke had not ad- vanced the country’ or rather permitted forein- ers to pusi it forward. When he came to the thrones there wasn't a railroad or canal in the whole valley of the Nile. Now there is a perfect network connecting all the various towns, and under his own supervision a great part of the tillable soll has been put under paying cultiva- tion. English and French Control of Egyp- tian Finances. Ten years ago Kiedive Ismail was first aroused by the remonstrances of England and France to the imperative results of his jous and reckless administration of af was under the knowledge of this intending national bankruptey that he signed a conver tion in*November, 1876, giving Bn: France the virtual control finances until such tiine as n, it not reimbursed, at least assured afety of their investments. Under the compulsion of foreigners he for the moment broke off his system of squandering, closed his lio, turned out doors his cronies in spec for. Goschen, one of the first fi was received by him, though so: y as the representative of the English creditors, and Jouvert, a Frenchman of high reputation in command of affairs, was delegated on the part of France. The subsequent examination justi- fied the worstapprehensions of foreign creditors, and even alarmed the khedive himself. Rivers Wilson, an Englishman, was appointed con- troller of the general receipts of the country, and Blignieres was appointed controller of gen eral expenditure, and with these were associated four European commissioners of public debt. Protocols were drawn up by the English and French sovernments, protecting these control- lers, and to guard against the possibility, as it was supposed of the astute Turk entrapping his unwelcome saviors. Of course, with a ruler adverse to them, the foreigners found every- thing next to impossible in the way of reform, and though considerable advances were madé under the provisionary system, it was found that the khedive, being insincere, no permanent improvement was possible. So, in November, 1878, a new scheme was adopted by the consent of tue foreign governments. The khedive was prevailed upon to surrender the private estates of hinself ana family as the basis of a new ar- rangement withthe creditors. The English and French governments reappointed Wilson and Blignieres as co-trustees, and the khedive, to give ar earnest of his desire to keep faith with the lids zo for the purpose of rubbing themselves upon it, it is doubtful whether a score of wor- vigor.

When Egy} passed into the hands of the Khedive in 1867 it was 8 country of great natural, but wholly un- developed resources—it was cursed by the Ori- ental system of government which simply waste, theft and oppression. Ismail had been forced to recede step by step from the position of an independent sovere' to that of a monarch under tutelage of three dis- tinct powers. First, he is the viceroy of Tur- key; second, heis the financial vassal of England and France, whose citizens have lent him mo- ney to such an extent that any tampering with their interests on his part will be accej asa cause of war by elther England or France. If the interests of the two countries were not about equal, Egypt would long ago have fol- Jowed the course of India, and every other pros- rous country Into which English thrift has pushed itself.

(GROWING HOSTILITY OF THE ARMY TO FOREIGNERS, Unhappily for the future of the country, every- thing of a reformed nature has been and carried out by fo and as a conse- unturned to make trouble for France. Arabi, one of the native a favorite of the army, it himself at of the dissatisfied sol- lers and natives who detest foreign domina- tion, and under plea of a patriotic movement has enlisted an almost unanimous Egyptian sen- timent in his favor. Arabi Sey,the Leader of the Native This party, under the leadership of Arabi Bey, assumed the name of the national party, and aggressive movements were at once begun against the foreign officials it the government. This party professes to demand the dismissal of the Khedive and the reorganization of the country under exclusively native influence. But as that would be equivalent toa zepudiation of the vast debt due France and England, these two powers are bound to check or guide the movement. France does not. however, go a8 far as England in this policy. Bhe is quite will- ing the Egyptians shail have their own ruler, rovided the Interests of the bondholders protected. England professes to only her interest in the Suez canal, and the Present movement is for its seizure and neu- tralization. THE RECENT DISTURBANCE began, however, about 15 montis ago, when the Khedive refused to ratify the sentence of a court-martial condemning some fifty officers of the army, most of whom were of Turkish or Circassian origin, to be degtaded from their Yank, shorn of thelr decorations and sent into exile in the distant provinces ef the Soudan. These officers had been charged with conspittig together to take the life of Arabi Pasha, minister of war, and the court was composed of men all friendly to Arabi. The court-martial, however, was a packed one, and, irrespective of what evidence might be heard before it, was pre- determined to get rid ot, wholesale, the non- conforming spirits of the ‘army. The Khedive was quite within the bounds of that prerogative when he refused to confirm the sentence of the court-martial, and he was strengthened in his | determination by the knowledge that the Sultan approved his action and by the assurance of the consuls general of England and France that their governments would support him also. COERCING THE KHEDIVE. On the evening of May 10 the ministry waited on the Khedive and demanded that he should withdraw the decree he had signed at noon modifying the sentence of the court martialto one of simple exile and insisting that the original sentence should be carried out in its entirety, and threatening in the event ot refusal to de- pose the Khedive. In consequence of these threats, and public order and safety being en- dangered, the consuls general of England and France telegraphed to their governments for ships of war to sustain the authority of the Khe- dive. The threat of deposing the Khedive was no idle one; but Arabi wishing to deceive Eng- Jand and France as to the real character of the the Khedive. As soon as it became evident that this military movement constituted a real danger the banks and money lenders refused to loan money on any terms, and when wouid-be borrowers demanded the reason for this close- fistedness the reply was invariably Arabi Bey, and thefellah soon began cursing the father of the Cromwell “ot Egypt, as he delights to be called. The result of this discontent among the agricultural population was a distinct refusal on the part of the notables to assemble unless legally convoked by the Khedive. Foiled ia their attempts to cover arevolution with the coating of constitutional whitewash, which they had hoped would hoodwink Europe, the Arabi ministry, both officially and otherwise, endeay- ored to blarney the country into the belief that there was really no material difference of opinion between themselves and the Khedive. The optimists thought that all was over and that the military and their ministry would ac- cept their position, eat humble nd be good for the future. Meanwhile a few ships, detached from the fleets of England and France, arrived at Alexandria, and moral suasion was supposed to have gained the day and left the Khedive and the powers masters of the situation. THE CABINET CRISIS. The consuls general of E: nd and France, after vainly endeavoring by unofficial negotia- tions to persuade Arabi to resign, presented an ultimatum to the effect that the ministry should , that Arabi Pasha should leave the coun- try and other officers named should retire to their native villages. The ministry after two days of consideration resigned, but without accepting the terms of the ultimatum. ARABI BEY REINSTATED AS SECRETARY OF WAR. At about 12 o'clock on -Saturday, May 27th, the Khedive received a telegram from the com- mandant at Alexandria to the effect that if Arabi Pasha was not reinstated as minister of war within twelve hours he could not answer for the public safety of Alexandria. On the re- ceipt of this telegram the Khedive sent for the malcontent officers of the Cairo garrison and in- forme them that he took the command of the | army, ordering them to confine their troops to barracks and not to make any military disposi- tions without orders from him. The behavior of the officers in the presence of the Khedive was most insolent, and one of. them, Abdul-al . : uence bt 22 | Pasha, turning to the All Pasha Peiml, while ations of the first rank find it difficult to pay | dent we can do nothing with this fellow,” and the Khedive was still speaking, said: “It is evi- turning their backs on his highness left the audience chamber without salaam- ing. This new move created the great- est public consternation. Sultan Pasha, the pre t of the Chamber of Notables, endeavored to solve the difficulty by appealing to the patriotism of the army to save their coun- try from the horrors of a Turkish intervention, with its attendant expenses. Arabi, on tle other hand, endeavored to excite the fanaticism of his followers by exercising his great oratori- cal powers in abusing his sovereign, preaching rebellion, and inveighing against Europeans. The next afternoon, the 28th, the result of all this talk became apparent. At about 5 o'clock all Cairo was startled by the news that Arabi had been reinstated as minister of war, and tie alarm oecasioned was greatly augmented when the means employed to effect the reinstatement became known. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon a deputation of notables, ulemas, trades and cor- porations waited on the Khedive at the Ismailia palace, and throwing themselves at his feet begzed him to reinstate Arabi as minister of war, as the soldiers had threatened that if it was not done immediately they would cut to pieces the members of the deputation. At the same time the” palace was surrounded by troops and the officer in command informed one of the Khe- dive's equerries that If his highness went out tor his usual driye before acceding to the re- quest of the ol eae he had orders to fire on him. The Khedive did accede to the juest of the deputation, and Arabi was reinstated minis- ter of war. PANIC IN ALEXANDRIA. the wildest panic took place; men and women rushed to the bourse, the hotels and other places where telegrams were posted, and fought for the tront places to read the news. Calmand sedate merchants who have withstood the sud- den and ruitious fall of Egyptian stock without, winking or turning a hair, rashed home and told their wives to pack up themselves and children and get‘on board steamers bound for Europe. Every vessel in the harbor was crowd- ed, from the stately sies of the Peninsular and Oriental, and the Messageries Maritimes, to the hog-shaped Newcastle collier. The demon panic reigned supreme. ‘The Alexandria Riots. The active military propaganda which Arabi had initiated throughout the country had done its work. Contrary tothe opinion of those who were believed to know Egypt and the Egyptians best it was found possible tp raise, a vindictive spirit against the Europeans—a feeling which On the news reaching Alexandria a scene of their carriages and beaten to death with clubs and legs of tables and chairs. Three young men and a Swiss merchant, going down shore to warn some friends who were set by the infuriated Arabs. Mr. Cookson, the British consular judge, on his way to see the governor, was and fearfully beaten, nara cecaping with life; the streets of the Cistern, Franl street, the streets leading to the ee habited chiefly by Maltese, Greeks and Ital! of humble position in life, were the chief scenes of the fighting. The Arabs seem to have come in from all sides and literally overwhelmed any Europeans they came across by force of numbers. All were utterly panic stricken. No attempt at organized defence was made, and with the ex- ception of a few shots fired from windows and balconies the Europeans did nothing to stop their fellow colonists being done to death. After the rioting had lasted about three hours suddenly the military was called out and almost immediately cleared the streets, but berore this was done the whole of the European shops along the route of the rioting had been smashed and sacked. This outbreak brought to Alexandria war ships from all the leading nations whose citizens were threatened. The two powers, England and France, insisted upon a compliance with the terms of their ultimatum, and after fruit- less negotiations and delays active operations were becun against the city of Alexandria, where Arabi rewained in command of the troops. ‘The Suez Canal. MAGNITUDE AND IMPORTANGE OF THE GREAT COM- MERCIAL WATERWAY THAT IS NOW THE BONE OF CONTENTION IN THE EAST. The Isthmus canal, the work of M. de Lessep: now a leading cause of the Anglo-Egyptian em- broilment, was begun in 1859 and opened to ships on November 17, 1869, in presence of the Empress Eugenie and the representatives ot other sovereign powers. The idea ot the canal was not anew one. Sesostris Pharaoh Necho, the Romans, and the Arabians always entertained it. Their plan, however, was simply to unite the Nile and the Red sea, the Mediterranean route being unthonght of. In 1799 the lineacrossthe isth- mus was surveyed byNapoleon I.,but theengineer (La Pere) having reported a difference in the level between the two seas, the project fell throush, and was not revived till M. Ferdinand de Les- seps took it up, ané undaunted by all adverse criticisms, obtained a permit from Said Pasha to begin operations. a Compag- nie Universelle—was formed in with a cap- itol of £8,000,000—200,000,000 francs—ultimatel, increased to £18,000,000—450,000,000 francs. The Mediterranean debouchment was at Port Said. then a miserable Arab village, built ina dreary, arid waste. The termination of the canal is at Suez.

The engineering difficulties encountered were notfew. Theexcavations onthe canalamounted to 100,000,000 cubic yards. These were chiefly made by the aid of steam dredyes of pecutiar construction, some of which were 7 horse- power, 110 feet in length, and cost £20,000 each, For the greater part of the distance the dreds- ings were through a treacherous. dry, sandy plain; in some sections, as at El Guisr, about one-quarter of the distance eastward, the cut- | tings were over eighty feet through rock of pe- y hard texture. The solid embankments om 5 to 60 fect in thickness. At Port Said have been constructed two enormous jett which extend 6,940 feet and 6,020 feet into the Mediterranean, and enclose a harbor ot about 450 acres in area, witha depth in the ship chan- nel of from 25 to 28 feet. In the construction of these jetties huge biocks of concrete were used, weighing 22 tons each. The distance saved by the canal inthe journey to India is nearly half that by the Cape of Good Hope— that is to say, while from the English channel to Point de Galle, in Ceylon. by the latter route was 11,650 miles, by the Suez canal it is 6,516 miles, the only addition to the passenger fares being 8s. 4d. a head, and the same amount per ton for freight. The trafic through the canal since the open- ing, in 1869, on -which occasion 130 vessels passed through free*of toll, has vastly in- creased. In 1870, up to July, 21,402 ships had made use of it. of which only 13 were sailing vessels, and by the end of the first year 496 ships had traversed its course. with a gross tonnage of 486.009 tons; in 1869 the number of vessels was 1,477, st ber was 2,727 vessels, 4,000 tons, 79 per cent of which flew the British flag. 4 England’s stake in the canal, besides its tm- portance to her as a route to India and Austra- lasia, is no small one, when it is remembered that in November, 1875, Mr. Disraeli, on the part of the government, acquired by purchase shares to the amount of £4,000,000. Now, though the dividend on the total receipts of £2,187,048 (after deducting working expenses, interest, redemption of obligations, providing 5 per cent on the statutory reserve, leaving a net profit of £987,121,) is 5 per cent per share. England receives nothing from the earnings up to 1894; but she receives from the Khedive 5 per cent on the purchase money of her shares. She has nominated three competent men of the di rectorate, and has a thoroughly controlling in- terest. Of these members two watch all financial matters and attend the monthly meetings of the board; the third is a resident director and a member of the managing committee. These gentlemen report constantly to her majesty’s government all matters affecting either the financial or the general interests of England. They have great welght upon the board, and are treated with uniform consideration by the other directors. They report that vhe traffic can and will easily be doubled, and toward bringing this about the board requests from the shareholders the necessary powers to enable them to realize at more frequent intervals successive issues of obligations to extend over a period of twenty- seven years. To show the importance which others attached to Enzland’s interest in the canal may be quoted a dispatch of M. Barthel- emy St. Hilaire, who said that England furnished nearly all the custom, and that the canal was the indispensable route which placed her in communication with that incomparable colony Possessed in of 250,000,000 subjects which she India.
