AN ARMY Re ORGANIZATION SCHEME.
That the power of England in Egypt
did not cease with the laying down OF arms
and capture OF the rebels at Kafr el- Dwar, is
demonstrated by the news that the Egyptian
Council of Ministers has adopted the prelimi-
nary scheme Of Baker Pasha for the reorgan
ization of the Egy ptian army. Baker recon-
mends that the field Off cers of each regiment,
battalion, battery, etc, be one half British and
one-half Egyptian, AMI that the other officers,
from the rank Of captain downward,b be select
cd from Egyptians, klbanaDs and others al
ready in the service OF the Khedive. The staff
will consist OF an equal number OF British and
Egyptians. The expense OF the army will be
E36S,000 yearly. The gendarmine will be off,
cered by Egyptians, but will have two British
inspectors Baker Pasha considers that Que of
the principal advantages of bis scheme will be-
healthy emulation between the regiments
commanded by British officers and those CON-
manded by native officers The army will
number 1000 men.

obtain majority it would be necessary for
the government to enter into an alliance with
Clericsls and Conservatives.
