LONDON, April 24.--Ihe final decision OF the
Government in regard to the expedition for the

arrival of Sir Evelyn Barring and General Graham
on Monday After today's council at Cairo. General
Sir Evelyn Wood advised the Government
that the expedition should consist of 1000 Egypt
ians and 500 English troops. General Wolseley, at

fell for the command of the expedition.
In the House of Commons to-day Mr.-Gladstone
refused to state what reply had been sent to
Egypt's suggestion in regard to the relief Of l'er-
ber Berbcr, he said, was doubtless IN danger but
Khartoum was in no danger, either military or any
other The Government fully recognized the
obligation they were under for the safety of Cen
eral Gordon, and would put them
selves in a position TO render all
ncedful assistance Lord Edmund Fit2maurce
Under Foreign Secretary SAID that no information
had been received that Nubar Pacha refused 10 re-
