[REUTERS TELEGRAMS-] London, July 23.

It is announced that the Duke of Connaught, Sir Archibald Alison, and Sir Evelyn Wood have been appointed to the command of Brigades of the English army in Egypt. The British force now being despatched to Alexandria consists of 10,000 officers and men. An extraordinary war credit is to be asked for by Mr Gladstone in the House of Commons to-morrow. It will be for an amount of £2,300,000. Germany and Austria are holding aloof from all questions affecting Egypt at the present juncture. Alexandria, July 23. A party of British troops, while out exploring the railway line outside Alexandria, met a force of Arab cavalry. The latter declined an encounter, and made off before the British could come up. Measures have been commenced by the British troops for the occupation of Aboukir, an important strategical position 10 miles north-east of Alexandria. Arabi Pasha has now been formally dismissed from the position of Minister for War. London, July 23. Instructions have been issued by the War Office for the men of the army reserve to join the various military depots on the end of August.
