EGYPT.

CAIRO, Jan. l0.-The Egyptian ministry
has ordered the troops under the command
OF Zeebehr PaShs not to enter Soudan.
They have also stopped the recruiting Of
black troops under him. After having
been virtually State prisoner, with GER
tain limited amount of freedom for the past
ten years, Zeebehr Pasha has slnce the late
crises after some hesitation, been appointed
to the command OF the black contingent Of
the Soudan expeditionary force. With
characteristic caution. however, his wife and
family were to have been detained at Cairo
to serve in some sort as hostages to
insure his good behavior, much
as be himself was formerly
kept o. guarantee for bis son. A few days
sgo 1t WAS discovered that he had sent his
wife secretly to Suakim and as soon as this
discovery was made Zeebehr was arrested.
He was set at liberty the next day, but was
kept under surveillance. 1t is said the
ministry will relieve Zeebehr Pasha OF
command and adopt different policy in
dealing with internal affairs from the one In
vogue under the former ministry, which
only invited betrayal and alienated the
tribes Of Soudan BY alternate bribery and
force
