Fur years rior to the rebellion of Arabi, disaf- oction Ind been brewing among the Egyptians.

Th' i plan, the Glad- eione Government never yieldcd‘to, and a. plan to x ueVe Gordon Was tin-med. And in August of heat year, General Wolseley left England in charge of' what has been known as the Nile relief expedition, consisting of 9,000 picked soldiers of the British army, and a detachmem ot'Uanadinne. His instruct-ions were to bring away from Khartoum Genci'al Gordon and Col. Stewart. Nothing of any sei'ions moment happened to this foroeiimil the 17th and mm of this month, when Gen.
