ENGLAND'S OBJECT.
USED ITALY IN THE ABYsSINIAN
EXPEDITION AS OATS PAW.
Head of the Egyptian National Party Says
England is Using Every Means to
Gain Control of the Nile.

morning publishes the following cor
respondence from Constantinople I'M
der date Of Nov. IL: At a moment
when the Turkish nation is in semi.
effective state and may possibly &C.
cupy the world the visit of Mustafa
Kamel, head of the Egyptian Nation
al Patriotic party is not without signi-
ficance. One of Mustafa KamePs OBJ
jects in coming here was to dispel the
idea that the khedive is not entirely
loyal to the sultan. AS regards the
feeling among the Egyptian natives,
and he represents the rising genera
ton, he said:
1.-The Egyptians, without exception,
are discontinued with the British &C.
cupation. They know that England
is striving to blind Europe and the en-
tire world in order that she may place
her hand over the entire valley Of the
Nile. Their former confidence in the
world of the English no longer exists.
The English occupation has taught
them that in politics, there is neither
morality nor honor
But why should the Egyptians
seek to get rid of British rule? They
are prosperous and well governed un-
der it,"
1--WE Egyptians wish to get rid of
British rule" said Mustafa Kamel,
firstly, because it is our duty as a
nation full of vitality, knowing its
rights towards itself and even toward
the Holy Fatherland. Next, because
the British occupation ruins Egyptian
morals and mentality"
"Will you tell me the Egyptians
feeling towards Turkeys"
Undoubtedly the object of all pa
triotic Egyptians is to bind her to Tur-
key and to strengthen those bonds
more than ever History tells us to
follow no other policy. If the En-
glish are in Egypt it is owing to the
divisions and antagonism which exist
ed before the occupation between the
sultan and Khedive Tewfik Pasha.
The English are at present using all
their efforts to divide the sultan and
the khedive, but we are sure the wis
dom and patriotism of the khedive
will fortify him in policy of ap-
proachment with Turkey wherein
alone rests his welfare and that Of
Egypt"
"Can you explain the sudden cause
of the English expedition to DongOla"
Mustafa Kamel certainly gives
new idea about England's move. For
a long time past, "he said, "the English
have looked yearningly toward the
Soudan. They have wished always
as now to grasp the inexhaustible
sources. They know that the master
of the Soudan is master Of Egypt and
that if the European powers manag-
ed to make England evacuate Egypt
the free Soudan which owes Europe
no debt as Egypt does, would become
an English province. To that direc-
ton they have been working for
years. When they saw in 1891 that
France and Russia were preparing for
an entente and could give the negus
of Abysinnia officers and arms in or
der to push him toward the Soudan,
England pushed Italy towards Ably
sinnia in order to check the negus.
Their game succeeded admirably and
Italy, being neively thrown upon Ably
sinnia, did but serve the plans OF
England with her blood and her mon
ey. How skillfully the English, I'M
der a pretext of aiding the Italians,
profited by their disasters to under
take the Dongola expedition with the
assent Of the triple alliance is seen.
Today, to complete the comedy, En-
gland asks Italy to give her back Kas-
sala. Thus it is that England has
Knocked all Europe without Europe
forcing her to leave our dear Father
land"
