In consequence of the menacing attitude of the Bedouin Arabs, who are massing in the neighborhood of Naex, it has been deemed advisable to strengthen the British garrison at the fort, and reinforcements were despatched to-day for that purpose. The great scarcity of water in consequence of the usual supply by the aqueduct being cut oil is being severely felt by the inhabitants of this city. The available supply is very small, and is being rapidly exhausted.
