There is great anxiety in England, because the Sudanese troops, at least some of them, have mutinied. Until now, it was believed in London that these forces would side with the British battalions, against the Egyptian battalions, and they even counted on their numerical superiority, and now they are giving the signal for revolt. The situation will become extremely serious for the United Kingdom, if it does not conciliate the Sudan, and the shooting of the day before yesterday will leave deep scars. With this Sudanese agitation, coincides a renewed effervescence in Egypt. Arrests continue, while military parades multiply. The Times, in a dispatch from Cairo, (and this newspaper reflects at best the feelings of the residence) announces that the Egyptian Chamber is to be dissolved. We know that it has been extended until December and that several of its members and not the least are in prison. Thus, Mr. Baldwin's government would no longer have any official resistance to face. It is true that it would not gain anything from it. The national party, of which Zaghloul Pasha remains the leader, is organizing street opposition, especially among the students who have generalized the strike. It is now leading a campaign against the Ziwar Pasha cabinet, which it accuses of excessive weakness towards Lord Allenby. This ministry, from which several of its members have already defected, would be obliged to resign, there would be no reason to be surprised.
