ORDERED TO EGYPT.
British Troops to Prepare at Once
for the Trip.
The Government Takes Prompt
Measures In the New Trouble.
Ocean Steamers to BE Converted
Into Troop Ships.
Rv Associated Press,)

LONDON, Jan. ga sensation was
caused In London this afternoon when
It became known that the British Gov
ernment had determined to act energet-
icaily in Egypt and to send reinforce
ments of troops to that country imme-
diateiy.
At Aldershot Camp a detachment OF
military, mounted police and some of
the best cavalry in the British Army.
together with n or more infantry regi-
ments. received orders during the day
to make all the necessary preparations
to proceed Immediately to Egypt.
1t Is understood that the Government Is
preparing to secure additional troop
ships from among the large ocean steam
ers, as a number OF the regular troop
ships are either in service or disabled.
The comments of the newspapers upon
the situation OF affairs in Egypt confirm
the gravity of the crisis, as exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press yester.
day.
The Times says hat the Khedive must
be made to understand that Egypt does
not exist in order to be his plaything.
! The ST. James's Gazette expresses the
opinion that It is high time the Khedive
was taught the limits Of his position,
and that he must cheerfully accept the
control England lis obliged to exercise
over Egypt or else he must be deposed.
Other English newspapers express
themselves In a similar manner. and the
general sentiment seems to be that the
khedive must be taught a lesson.
According to the reports received here,
all through his tour up the Nile the Khe.
dive did not lose a chance to censure
the British officers.
At the Wady Halfa review, when sur
rounded by notables, and in full hear.
ing Of the onlookers, the Khedive warm,
ly received the companies led by Egyp'
y tian officers. and scarcely returned tn,
salutes of the English officers.
In addition. the Khedive kept up q
running fire of loud comments, such as
II am ashamed Of these men, - dis
graceful" "scandalous." &c.
