CAPTAIN ROPER AS A HERO.
Captain Roper was once more the subject of conversation on the water front yesterday, and if | the story which was told of him is true, it ought to condone at least some of the offenses which
he is alleged to have committed. It is said that at an early hour yesterday morning a gentleman dressed in a long black coat and a black slouch hat presented himself at the steamer and ex- pressed a desire to see the Captain.. The cabin boy took a survey of the stranger, and becoming satisfied that the visitor was not a newspaper ruan, ushered him into Mr. Roper's présence, The latter was apparently at his morning devo. tions. He sat behind the cabin table, wearing spectacles and reading the lible, the index finger of his right hand resting on the passage in Job which reads as follows:-"They have gaped upon me with their mouth they have snitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.”
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1882.
An official gazette publishes a letter from Arabi Pasha, which declares that any person found. In possession of a proclamation dirmissing Arabi Pasha, from the Ministry, circulated by the Khedive's emissaries, will be Coan-Martialed. The army will de its duty and defend the country to the last extremity. If the commercial and political interests of the lowers do not induce them to stop the British, a terrible struggle must enstie.
Some Italians, Swiss, French and Germans remain in public administration and continue to receive marks of confidence, notwithstanding the British intrigues to depopulate Egypt.
LONDON, July 27th.
The Times' corresponilent at Alexandria con firms the report that Arabs is in regular com munication with parties in England: The cor respondent also says the Kledive has ordered a Commission inquire into the reports of the looting by the English. General, Alison iusists that an investigation be male.
A despatch from Constantinople says that four Turkish ironclads and five transports are ready to start for Egypt. In spite of preparations. donits are expressed that the expedition will actually be despatched.
The Daily News declares that Torkish action. respecting the intervention in Egypt will not have the slightest effect upon the arrangements for the
The stranger entered cautiously, and after glancing carefully about the apartment he re- moved his hat and advanced to the table: Good morning, Captain," he said: "how do you do, sir; I am glad to see you so well, sir." He held out his hand, took that of the Captain most fervently, but Captain Roper was suspicious and made no answer to the salutation.e-merely-English-expedition. glanced up and eyed his valler suspiciously over the rim of his spectacles, The inter advanced to the table, on which he deposited his hat.
