WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, AUGUST 11, 1882, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Ai.exam.ma, Au. 5 -In a recounoisssnco Thursday breastworks were found finished on . 0int on Malimomlieh canal, already occu pied bv t' British picket. It is clear that Arabi Pashi intends to remain on the defen sive. Hi real resistance will be at Kafr el Uwar. Vo could havo skirmishes every day if Gen. Alliso ) allowed the Kwrt-sli to amusa themselves, but he has forbidden mem pot ting of Arabi's men who appeir within rango The htalth of the troops is excellent, rmlv one and a half nor cent, beinjr sick. Affsirs at Port Said are quiet On Toe-day a quarter of sfmillion pounds for service debt was col lected in the provinces in obedience to the orders of Arabi Paha. A Bedouin sh-ikh states thit Arabi has about 20 000 B-douins, who will be sent to various parts on the coast. The sheikh also says Arabi is in commiinica tion with the false prophet nt Soularn. and that when beaten h will not retire to Cairo, but tn Wan el Dakhel. Adda, who has just arrived from Cairo, states that there js a coun cil of war every evening at the ministry of war in Cairo. All sub-ministers except the sub-minister of finance, are still at their posts. No European simp are opened. At 5 o'clock this afternoon the British troops with a number of field guns served by sailors, atticked the advance guard of Arabi Pasha uear Ramleh, between the canal and the railroad, firing upon the enemy's position from three sides. The object of the operations to-day was a recou noissance in force. Commencing at 4 o'clock this afternoon a steady advance was madn by mariners upon the railroad line, the rifles upon the west bank of Mahmaudish canal, and the South Staffordshire regiment and mounted infantry upon the east bank. The e.iemy were driven in from all theii ad vanced pets and compelled to bring into action all their troops available in front of their principal line of intrenchments at Kafr el Dtvar, namely, about four battalions of in fantry, a force of cavalry and several guns. The "latter were completely silenced by the accurate fire of our 40 plunders. The Egypt ian infantry held their pround with consid erable tteadinexs, but the miriners on the railr ad, who were under the immediate com mand of Qen. Allison, pushed the enemy back upon their second line of intrenchments to ward Kafr el Dwar. The mariners were sup ported by the Sou'h Staffordshire reiriment and rifles. They suffered somewhat, but be haved with the ereatest calmness and teadi ness under the heavy fire. The object of the British operations, which was to compel the enemy to display what force and what guns they had in front of thcirmain position, was completely attained. This was ascertained by nightfall, when the British were slowly and steadily withdrawn. No accurate return of killed and wounded is as yet attainable. The enemy's loss is unknown. A large num ber of the wounded fell into the hands of the British and many dead were seen. A consid erable number of the enemy were made pris oners. The losses of the enemy appear to" have been very great, and they were so dispirited that, contrary to the usual practice of Asiat ics, they male no attempt to follow up our withdrawal. As a reconnoissance the success of our move was all I could wish, I revret to state our loss was somewhat heavy, Lieut. Vyse was one of the most promising officers I ever met. -Our total loss was four killed and 29 wounded, Yellow Fever Increasing Galveston, Aug. 5 The qusrantinn offi cer reports the arrival of the sohooner Henri etta from Brazos, and two suspicious caBes of sickness aboard.

The disease prevails among the higher classes as well as am ng the lower. There has been a number of deaths among farmers Many stores are only open part of the day, which gives ths citv a very desolate appear ance. Last nicht Manana Flores, a Mexican druggist, the first ewe of fever in Browns ville, died. He was tiken in a cut ta the graveyard and buried this morning. A case in the garrison at Ft. Brown died this morn ing. Hi9 name was Busting and he belonged to the 24th U. S. infantry band.

A man names Chamberlain is sick at King's ranche, 140 miles from Laredo, with bad fever. The American mail carrier from there says he has got black vomit.

There is no Ion ger any doubt that n. divergence of views ex ists between, England aud Rnssia, which will exercise a very prejudicial influence upon all nttempts to harmonize English action in Euvpt with the legitimate rights and wishes of the powers. It is not unlikely this diver genee will lead to a brake of the conference at an early date without any tangible result. War In V.npl. Alexandria, August 6. The place of yes terday's engagement is named Esbet Kurshid. Gen. Allison states the enemy's los is be tween 200 and 300. One officer of the Musta phazine regiment ind fourteen men were taken prisoners. They state the enemy's force con sisted of a battalion of the 2d infantry regi men, twelve hundred strong, and nine hun dred of the Mustaphazine regiment, who par ticipated in the June massacre. In order to test the prisoners they were given the option of returning to the enemy's camp, but they all refused, saving there was great dissatisfac tion in Arabi 'Pasha's camp They say Arabi sent as prisoners to Ciiro some officers who aked what they were fighting for. The pris oners reckon the rebel force at Kfar-el-Dwar at 16,000 The enemy's first line was not en trenched, but sheltered partially by brush wood and houses and partly by barricades erected with carriages taken from Alexandria. Yesterday's engagement is the subject of gpneral comment here. In the opinion of men of high professional experience nothing has apparently lien gained to compensate for the heavy loss in killed and wounded. Constantinople, August 6. At sitting of the conference yesterday the British ambas sador accepted the principle of collective pro tection of the Suez canal. The French am bassador was forced to reserve his opinion, owing to the political crisis in Paris.

Lord Dufferin agiiu insisted upon the proclamation of Arabi Pasha as a rebel. He points out tho fact that rumori prevail in Egypt that the sultan protected Arabi Pasha and would send troops to drive out the English. He further called attention to the fact that the porte had not yet given a written state ment ot its adhesion to the identical note, and said England might regard delay as actual re fusal and act accordingly, London, August 7.

Hnialley' Opinion. New York. Aug. 7. Smallev. the Trib une's London correspondent, gives the true inwardness of the Egyptian embroglio. He writes: "Arabi Pasha is nothing more nor less than an unscrupulous military attventu r.r. wilh an irfflv larcelv made UD of ex-con victs and other criminals. His object U merely to establish a military despotism in Egypt for the benefit of himself and his fol lowers. To nut down such an adventurer and to establish the autl ority of law again are to work directly in favor cf a better future for Egypt, and this Is giving the true national pnrfcy 111 mni, wuuuvry n vnauvw Yellow Fever.

The wheat fleet of '82 begins to drop in, says the Alorian. 'Tis the impression that the ships that are listed this year form but a part of the fleet, bound for the Columbia. Tis argued that if the exact number of vessels bound for here were known, freights would be fixed in exiot accordance with the supply, but that an un known quantity in the equation will tend tn keep freights down. Six inches more water on the Columbia river bir would have more of a bearish tendency on Columbia river freights than anything e'sc we know of. Wheat tor Tacoha.

T. t This county lies west of the Columbia river, extending from the Cascade rango to that riv er on the east and bounded south by Klickit at county. It is becoming more an attraction to settlers as it acquires transportation facil ities, and aji exchange describes it in brief, as follows : One of the sections of Eastern Washington, which offers attraction for immigration, is Yakima county, which lies between the Col umbia river, above the Snake, on the cast, tho Cascade range of mountains on the west, British Columbia on the north, and Klickitat county on the south, hss been tho paradise of tho stock raiser. The foothilt vsllevs havo furiishcd uncq'ii'ed SHT."ier range, while the valley of Lowei1 Yakima river has furn'shed a fine winter range for cattle. Lately v.-.rious sections of Yakima have been tested by the grower with saiisfactorv results. Until this season, however, the grower had to depend on a home market. But. now, the O. R. & N. Co. propose to carry away the products of the county at reasonable freight olmrges from con venient points on the Columbia, above the mouth of Snake river. Acting under this stimulus tho acreage of grain in tho Yakima, Kittitas and other valleys has been largely in. creased this year, and will bo multiplied ton fo'd next year. The countv is broken into hills and valleys, through thn latter of which run sparkling streams, led by overlasting snows of the, Cascade Mountains.
