ing the declaration of the Ottoman
delegates to the conference, it is not
generally believed the decision re-

troops to Egypt is final. 1t is con-
sidered certain they will not be
sent if Great Britain really
insists upon their being placed under
order nf the English commander,
which would be Inconsistent with
the wishes of the Sultan. The Sui
tan cannot openly espouse the cause
of Arab PaSha for ouenlV breaking
with him.
