EGYPT TO FOOT THE BILL

Expedition.
FRANCE AND RUSSIA OBJECT
The sultan Enters No Protest-Serious
Condit ion Of the Italian Army in

War viii lie Disastrous.

Cairo March 26.--The commission of
the Egyptian debt mrt here today and
decided to advance I50O, 900 400, ,0OO)
necessary to meet the expenses Of the
British Egyptian expedition which is
to advance upon Dongola. OF the sum
needed. G2OO.00O l$l, ,OOO,O ,O0O) is available
Immediately.
The English, German, Italian and
Austrian members of the Egyptian debt
commission voted to advance the money
required The Russian and French
members voted against the proposition.
Directly the action of the majority of
the Egyptian debt commissioners be-
came known, the representatives of the
Paris syndicate of Egyptian bondhold-
erS took steps to institute proceedings
before the Egyptian mixed tribunal
against the debt commissioners and the
ministers responsible for the reserve
fund.
London, March GA special de-
spatch' from Cairo says that the French
and Russian members of the Egyptian
debt commission left the meeting today
after protesting against the use Of the
reserve fund for the purpose Of the
British Egyptian expedition.
The question OF the reported protest
of the Turkish government against the
British Egyptian expedition was taken
up in the house OF commons today.
The under secretary Of state for for
eign affairs. George n. Curzon. said
that 1t was true that the sultan had
made inquiries as to the nature of the
expedition to Dongola. hut no protest
against it had been made on behalf of
the Turkish government The neces-
saryN XDlanations. Mr.. CurZon added.
We're given to the Turkish amba assador.
1t was true that Turkey had not been
consulted previous to steps being taken
to organize the Nile expedition, but that
was because nothing was contemplated
which was beyond the power OF the
khedive In the advance of the troops.
Referring to the conflict Of opinion
which has arisen regarding the use of
the Egyptian reserve fund, Mr. CurZon
said that there We're various precedents
for asserting that u majority vote of
the commission was all that was neces-
sary to authorize the expenditure.
