I have Just heard IN important piecc Of
news It is that considerable British force
Is under orders 10 proceed to Egypt.
This is in confirmation Of previous
dispatch regarding tue mobilization Of tho
army, md the first direct move England has
made In tho prosont European crisis. Tho
Cabinet, no doubt, lIaa becn and is divided
on the question Of takiug part IN tho war.

suez Canal Is frail tendon binding together
tho great centres OF lilo Of lndia and En-.

concern Of tho Government. 10 annex Egypt
or establish an English protcctorato Is now
deemed tho only solution Of tho problom.
