The Soudan War.
[Reuter’s Telegrams.]
THE CONFERENCE,
ATTACK UPON SUAKIM.
LANDING OF BRITISH SAILORS. London, May 20,
In the House of Commons last night the Premier made a statement regarding the projected Conference of European Powers upon the Egyptian Question. Mr. Gladstone said the Government s<i'l adhered to the basis upon which the Conference was to be held as originally announced. Parleying was still proceeding on the subject with France, and as soon as agreement had been come to with that power concerning the questions under discussion the other European powers would be consulted.
Telegrams received this morning from Suakim state that the rebels in the neighborhood are again assuming a hostile attitude, and during several hours yesterday afternoon and evening continuous firing upon the town was maintained.
A body of sailors was at length landed from the British war vessels lying off the town, and the Arabs then fled.
