NEWsPAPER ADVICE TO THE GOVERN
~, MEST.
Ihe Fail Mall Gazette, In an editorial
s'n Hn tlle situation in the Soudan, says:
,,n ,nnSlanu may not need military aid in
the Soudan, but she does need camels'
which the Turks only can supply. The
sultan Is anxious to co-operaie with
! England on the basis of the rocopnition
Oh nus sovereignty over Egypt. If the
! government rejects his offer, thev may
20 lace the combined hostility OF
vi Mahdi and the Calipha of Islam"
THE BLUNT IDEA,
no ElODe referring to tho recent pub
Ilshed letter containing u reported
conversation between clorgyman and
| a former project of police under Arabi.
! during which the latter said Wilfred
blunt was the only living man able to
eliect Tor England a peaceful solution of
me Soudtn question, says: "The ma
Tonal party in Egypt combined with tho
French party at Cairo, have organized
centres IN every capital OF Europe, and
are Intriguing q rise and revolt of tho
followers OF El Mahdi, as the means of
overthtoWlng an alien khedivlal gov
ernment. The intriguers consist
OF the alherents of Arab. Several
ofthom reside in London and hold in
iluenial positions, and would willingly
nave assisted Blunt's scheme TO nego.
tlate with lGl Mahdi. Gladstone, how
ever, knew tho means Blunt intended TO
employ to reach El Mahdi, and there
lore rejected the scheme, MANY of
Blunts friends are still of the opinion
that The capture and crucinxiot of n |
Mahdi would only accentuate his clai m
among Mosloms TO be regarded Ms tho
prophet of Islam."
