Spain on the Situation:

One of the most remarkable signs of 5

the times is the sudden and promivuent activity of Spain in foreign politics Hitherto, Spaiu has been pecuiiarly quiet. Now she suddenly awskes to the fact that she has an ioterest in Egypt. so far as the caval is concerned and will probably, for the future, take her part

in the diplomatic council» of Europe

Her “movements in Africa are causing some litile stir, aud the direction of her arms may be surmised from the follow- ing telegram from Tangiers to the Petit Marseillais ‘ ‘Two Spanish field officers have recently visited Morocco under cir cumstances which give rise to serious reflection. These two officers—a colonel and a major—first went from Ceuta to

Tetuan. They then visited Angbera and Tangiers, studiously examiving the

country as they went along. In each place they took measurements and drew plaus, besides asking many questions and making remarks about some batteries, which they cerefully scrutinized. They returned to Spain after completing their eXaminations. Some excitement ap- pears to have been aroused in Morocco by this mysterious visit, and people are

actively canvassing the possibility of

Spain laying hands on the country. It is even stated that a force of 20.000 men

is to be despatched to Ceuta at once, ** as |

a measure of precaution,”

Strong Suspicion of Murder.

The drowning of the girl, Sparrow, at Souris, on Sunday night last, is the topic of conversation in that village. Various rumors are afloat, and the conclusions

generally arrived at are that she came to |

her death by foul means. Witnesses who saw the young woman previous to her melancholy end, agree that she never committed suicide, and that some one other than herself, must have have had a hand in her death. She left the house of Dr. Cox

in company with another servant, and when

There has just arrived here from the Soudan an Egpytian flicer who states he is deputed by Mehemet Naadi, Governor of Soudan, to inform the Khedive, that he and all officors and sol

liers under his command are loyal and will ot recognize Arabi. Ali Effendi, the loyal rovernor of Port Said, has been appointed vrovisional Governor of Ismailia, and will there to-day in the Khedive’s steamer, Beserea, which also takes Lord harles Beresford, Morice Bey, Dulier Bey, seorab Bey and three of the Khedive’s flicers,who will immediately proceed to the front.

Line Telegraph has the following from Ismailia: —The enemy are reported in force ren miles off. Occasionally they attack our pickets, but retire directly as we advance. Our line extend over a mile and a half veyond Ismailia. The water supply con tinues to diminish, and. what we have is very bad. Our cavalry is moving towards Mabgamah. The railway to Nefiche is ompleted. Prince Teck will proceed with General Wolseley.

Later.—General Wolseley and cavalry ire now at Netiche. There is no sign of the enemy.

A correspondent of the Times at Con- stantinople says that among the uneducated Musselmans the sympathy for Arabi Pacha is undiminished, but among those who are capable of distinguishing between the poli- tical and sentimental aspects of the ques tion, there is a decided revulsion of feeung, snd some of those who formerly applauded \rabi now condemn him as a dangerous enemy of the Empire.

The Constantinople correspondent of the News telegraphs that general confidence js expressed in diplomatic circles and by the press that the moderate party has triumph- ed and that the military convention will be Lord Dufferin’s essential de- mands are already conceded and questions of form only wait decision.

says: It is reported from Constantinople that the Sultan has consulted Germany in regard to the Military Convention and that Germany has advised him understanding with England, as co opera- tion with that nation was the only means of defeating Russia's plans. ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 24,

A pillaging party visited Ramleh to-day; it consisted of 50 Bedouins and five men of the Mustophez: Regiment. As soon as they entered the outskirts of Ramleh they commenced their work of plunder.

On the approach of a body of Highland ers the Bedouins fled and the Mustophezi took refuge in a house where one was killed and the fonr others were made prisoners.

The rebels are constructing new batteries and one line of railway to Cairo. The guns on Water Works Hill exchanged some shots with them to-day.

lutelligence received at the Palace states that Boulak El Dak Railway has been cut a short distance south of Ei Kitah, it is sup- posed by Bedouins with the object of cut- ting off Arabi Pasha’s retreat to Upper Egypt. Suitan Pasha has received infor- mation from Upper Egypt that a strong feeling against Arabi exists among the people through his jexactions.

While Arabi Pasha’s generals know ex- actly our movements, we are ignorant of theirs. The absence of balloons is much felt here.

The troops at Fort Ghemileh, near Port Said, are reported to be wavering in their | aliegiance to Arabi. Many of them are | deserting.

Port Sap, Aug 24,

Several more of Arabi Pasha’s officers have arrvied at Kantard from the Egyptian |} camp at Salahiek to make submission to the British. A letter from the command- aut at St. Ghenuleh has been received by Sheikhs in the Arab quarters of Port Said, charging them to warn the inhabitants to flee in consequence of a rumor that the black regiment was advancing on Port Said from Dannitta.

A British force, with some artillery, has | been sent beyond the native quarter. | Lord Charles Beresford arrived at Ismailia | yesterday. | Two Arabs have been shot here for not | answering the challenge of the sentry. The exodus of natives is consequently renewed,
