OBSERVATIONS BY THE SURVEY DEPARTMENT.
Cloudy weather has prevailed. On Saturday night the horizon was very clouded and obscurred the view of the Ramadan moon. Yesterday was another cloudy day, there being comparatively little sunshine. Similar weather prevailed to-day but there is a fresh breeze from the north and the barmoeter is rising.
It is said that on account of the gravity of the situation the Tsar's yacht is kept under pressure to convey the Imperial family to Denmark in case of necessity.(Reuter)
The corporation of workmen decided yester-day evening to continue the strike to the bitter end, bat to give no occasion for violence. (Reuter)
The situation in Russia is monopolising attention and depressing the bourses. It is j believed that it will be necessary to postpone the Russian loan. (Reuter)
The political parties have decided to form a government of their own, which will act independently of the Imperial Government. Owing to the strike of the hands in the gas and electric works, many quarters here and at St. Petersburg were in Darkness last night. Only candles and lamps were available. (Reuter)
The situation throughout Russia is getting worse. Telegrams from all parts show that the Government is paralysed by the wholesale strikes which spread to every trade and profession. There is practically no railway communication and there are no newspapers. Ordinary life is at a standstill, and all schools, colleges, and universities are closed. Moscow is absolutely cut off owing to the strike of the telegraphists. Odessa is also practically isolated. The town council is establishing a militia for the defence of the citizens. Reval is plunged in darkness and the theatre has been burned. The Minister of Finance has informed the bankers that the negotiations for the loan are postponed pending an improvement in the situation. (Reuter )
30,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 100 guns are held in readiness to repress any disturbances. There have been crowded meetings in all cities in favor of the strike movement, bat the collisions between the troops and the populace have not, so far, been serious. (Reuter)
M. Witte was received by the Tsar on Friday and Saturday. The proclamation of a Constitution is expected on the 3rd of November. A curious feature of the Russian revolutionary movement is the formation of citizen militia in different towns. (Reuter)
The workmen, under the leadership of students, whilst erecting barricades in the streets, had a sharp encounter with the Cossacks. Five strikers were killed and 18 wounded. Two officers and four soldiers attended a meeting last night and asked the strikers not to fire on the troops, promising in return to fire in the air when summoned to quell disorders. (Reuter)
The revolutionary movement is extending. It is rumoured that a yacht is in readiness to take the Tsar to Denmark. (Havas)
At the banquet the King and M. Loubet drank to the prosperity of the two nations. (Havas)
President Loubet has left. (Reuter)
M. Loubet has embarked on his return to
The Spanish cruiser Cardenal Cisneros struck a rock and foundered. The crew were saved. (Reuter)
The cruiser Cardenal Cisneros has sunk The crew were saved. (Havas) The cruiser Cardinal Cisneros was built at Ferrol and took some twelve years to construct. She carried two 9.4 in. guns, eight 5.6 in. and a number of smaller pieces, was protected by an armour belt and was capable of a speed of 20 knots. She was more or less a sister of the Vizsaya, Maria Teress, and Oguendo, which perished at Santiago, and, like them, was hardly fitted to meet the requirements of modern naval war.
It is announced that all the Powers are in principle in favor of a naval demonstration to overcome the resistance of the Porte to the Macedonian scheme. It is doubtful whether the Porte will give way without a display of force. (Reuter)
Italy is averse to a naval demonstration against Turkey, but she will act if necessary. (Reuter)
The German Minister, in an audience with the Dowager Empress,
informed her that the

Our native contemporary "Al Zahir" contains an Arabic poem, composed by Moh. Bey Abou Shadi, the proprietor of the journal, and dedicated to H.M. the Sultan on the occasion of the commencement of Ramadan, which commemorates the glorious recapture of Sanfi and describes the Yemenites as lacking knowledge, religion, and good manners. Perhaps they will atone for their past rudeness by giving Ahmed Faizi Pasha a warm reception at Sada, where their leaders have retired.

The extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Sucreries, which was to have been held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, has been postponed till the 25th prox. owing to a sufficient number of shares not being represented.
Our readers will remember that some months ago the property of Aly Pasha Cherif on Rhoda Island was put up for sale by the Wakfs Administration, and was knocked down to Messrs. Zervadachi AND Co. at the price of £1,360 the feddan. This price was thought by the Wakfs Administration to be insufficient, and consequently it was decided to have a new adjudication. We hear that few companies were prepared to compete owing to certain drawbacks connected with this property, such, for instance, as the fact that all the river frontage, amounting to 14 feddans, had been sold by the heirs as private property to various persons, and consequently would not enter into the general sale. Another drawback was the fact that a portion of the property was understood to be leased for a period of seven and a half years and that under no circumstances would the lessee give it up to a purchaser until the expiration of his term. We now hear that the lessee has officially notified the Wakfs Administration of bis intention to hold his land for the entire period of his lease, although the administration only recognises his right to a part of it A good deal of discussion took place about this at the time of the first adjudication, as several important persons are said to be in interested in the matter, and the point is one that has an important bearing on the renewed sale of the lands, which has been fixed for the first of next month.
The last few days have seen a long of more or less serious accidents in the harbour of Port Said largely owing to the somewhat protracted spell of bad weather which we have experienced here. The night before the arrival of the Royal party in the Renown it blew hard from the east, and in a short space of time a sea got up which did considerable damage to the new East breakwater. Towards morning some 30 yards of newly placed block of concrete had disappeared and a large hole had been breached by the sea in the small jetty. Some forty native craft, wind bound, laden with coal, took refuge under the lee of the jettes and one was sunk The Messageries Senegal hooked some mooring chains with her anchor and, drifting round, smashed he windlass, and divers lifting material were sent at daylight on Saturday to assist her. During the early hours of Saturday, a collier, the Appledore, to avoid a collision with some of the native vessels which at all times are to be seen crossing and tacking in the sea channels, let go both anchors and did so much damage to herself that she was obliged to slip both chains ; which chains and anchors it took over a day to recover and replace on board. The record was completed last night, when Bell's Asia Minor steamer, the Bear, coming into port, in the main channel, ran into and sank a very large Arab dhow laden with some 100 tons of coal and carrying no lights — which, by the way, is after all not at all an uncommon state of affairs in the harbor and on the coast line of Port Said. The sound of the crash of torn and rending timber, accompanied, as it was, by the noise of falling spars and the howls and screams of the vessel's crew and of those of many other similar vessels at anchor in the vicinity, was awe-inspiring and terrifying in the extreme. The Bear apparently went astern on the engines, for her rudder could clearly be seen from the breakwater in a mass of foam and spray, and a circle of some yards of churned-up water was remarked, by many among the witnesses of the collision, Which occurred at 8 p.m. The Canal Company's launches were in the Vicinity and very quickly had lines on to the sunken vessel endeavouring to tow her out of the channel, with little chances of success, for the dhow bad completely sank in a minute after the shock, which most have cut her nearly in two. I have heard that no lives were lost and that her entire crew of 16 were picked op almost immediately. The Bear, after examination, slowly proceeded to her berth, having suffered no apparent damage, and to-day shear-legs and divers are at work getting the sunken ship dear of the channel, which, however, remained dear on its western side.
The first winter races take place here to-morrow, and very great interst is being manifested in the meeting. Hamad Bey Basili is making preparation on a great scale and hopes that our races will eventually rival those of Alexandria or Cairo. However that may be, we shall have visitors from Cairo to-morrow in the dessert of Azab, close to the Nazleh waterfal and the old Coptic convent and only a matter of a few minutes' drive from Medinet el Fayoum
A leper came to my office yesterday and I made enquiries as to how he
caught this terrible disease. He informed me that he used to sleep in
the same room with his brother and brother in-law, the last of whom was
a leper and communicated the malady to the other two men. These three
men are the only cases I have noticed in Abousir illage,

Pisani, the Malteese, was again brought before the British Consular Court both on Friday and Saturday, on the charge of having attempted to murder Victoria Dehan, and Austrian subject, at the Pension Krauss, on the 13th inst Mr. A. D. Alban presided, Mr. Favargi acted as registrar, and Maltre Sciortino appeared for accused. In giving evidence on Friday, Captain Arthur Quartier, inspector of the secret police, deposed that he was called to the Pension Krauss in the Old Zaptieh street on the 18th inst. and that on entering he found there a man who was connected with [ ] "Imperiale," an employe of the Telephone company, and the landlady. He was handed a revolver which he selt in order to convince himself that it had been fired recently and which he then put in his pocket. The mirror was broken and the carpet and two chairs were blood-stained. He found Victoria Dehan in the next room standing up and holding her right side from which blood was flowing. There was also a man in the room who proved to be Giorgio Mascarelli, the woman's lover. He took her to the Gards Medicale, where she was attended by a doctor. Shortly afterwards the Commandant of Police and the chief of the secret police arrived, and in their presence he unloaded the revolver, which contained two loaded and three empty cartridges. Accused came to the pension in te custody of the mamour of Mousky ceracol and witness examined his hands. He found the top right hand between the thumb and fore-finger discoloured, and there was a slight bruise on the fore-finger, the left hand was much discoloured and both smelt of gunpowder. Victoria Dehan, who had returned to the pension, was confronted with accused, who she identified as her assailant. VIncenza Zuixef, mother of the injured woman, was next called and said that she cae to Cairo to take her daughter back to Port Said, where her husband lived. She next accused at the railway station and afterwards went to the pension, having first visited the Hotel de la Poete. At the pension witnesses, Victoria Dehan, Pisani, and the landlady went into a parlour. Accused told Victoria that he had sent for her mother to take her back to Port Said. Victoria said she could not ge at present, and told accused to leave the room as she wished to speak to her mother. The landlady then told witness that she could not allow her daughter to leave as she had been recommended to her by someone. Accused asked Victoria why she would go with [her] mother, and the woman replied she did not wish to, whereupon Pisani drew a revolver from his coat pocket and fired at Victoria. The landlady rushed out of the room and locked herself into the opposite one, while witness ran out calling for help and as she was going downstairs heard another shot. Witness did not go back to the house but took the next train to Port Said. Emin Wasfi, mamour of the Mousky ranebl, was the next witness heard on Friday. His evidence differed in no essential detail from that of Captain Quartier, and Said Mustaqha was next called and deposed to having arrested accused. The first witness examined on Saturday morning was the medical adviser to the Austrian Consulate. The woman Victoria deposed witness, had two wounds which had evidently been inflicted by one bullet. The first wound was on the under surface of the right arm, oblique in direction, and superficial, it being caused by the Bullet grazing the arm, which the woman held up to protect herself. The second wound was serious. It was on the anterior right side of the thorax and had penetrated into the thoracic cavity, lacerating a portion of the rights lung. He had sent her to hospital and thought she would not be able to appear for at least ten days Giorgio Mascarelli, who lived with Vitoria Dehan, next gave evidence. The woman, he said, was married and her husband lived at Port Said, in which town he had made her acquaintance. He came into the pension where he and Victoria were living, just after the shots had been fired. A revolver was produced in court, and witness said it was similar to the one which he had seen lying on the floor of the room when he entered. He was aware that accused had had relation with VIctoria Dehan; accused and witness had not quarrelled about her. Dr. Ismail Hamadi, attached to the Cairo city police deposed to having examined the accused. He said that he found a wound on the left side of the neck at the junction of the head and neck and behind. THere was an irregular opening with a diameter of about half a centimeter. The hair in the neighbour-hood of the wound was signed; the wound might have been self-inflicted by the left hand. There was also a burn and wound on the right cheek, which might possibly have been caused by a piece of glass. There were black marks on both hands, especially the left, and also and abrasion on the right hand. Dr. Battista Mazzoli was the last witness called and deposed to having examined Victoria Dehan at the Garde Medicale. His evidence was similar in every respect to that of Dr. Basker the first medical witness called the case was then adjourned until the 7th pox. when it is hoped that the wounded woman may be able to give evidence.
