LONDON, June 12

Mr Murdoch, captain of the Australian cricketing team, has written a letter to the Press with reference to the circumstances under which the Australian cricketers were excluded from the luncheon tent at the Nottingham match. In his communication he explains the manner in which the misunderstanding occurred, and defends his action on the occasion.

A rumor was current here this evening that Hanlan, the Canadian oarsman, was dead. The report is, however, discredited and requires confirmation. Arrived Manx Queen, ship, from Port Chalmers.

ALEXANDRIA, Juno 10

The strong ill-feeling of the native population of this city towards Europeans manifested itself last evening in an attack by large bodies of the former upon several parties of English and other residents. In the affray which took place several Europeans were killed, including the engineer of H.M.S. Snperb, and many were wounded, including the British Consul, who suffered very severe injury. The disturbance was ultimately suppressed by the military being called out to restore order. June 12. Enquiries which have been made into the cause of the emeute which occurred in this city on the evening of the 10th inst., have elucidated the fact that it originated from a street quarrel between a Greek and an Egyptian, and owing to the strong ill-feeling prevalent in the city against all European residents, the natives attacked some of the latter who were present, and the disturbance increased until it was found necessary to call out the military. The statement that the British Consul was seriously wounded during the emeute is fully confirmed, and it has been ascertained that the Italian Consul was also wounded, and that twenty persons were killed on the occasion.
