WAR IN EGYPT BR|TMM's FEAR
Foreign Secretary Warns the People
The-e Is Danger Of a Bitter
"HoIy War;"

LONDON, July 1.-THE official an
nouncement in parliament by Earl
that England was confronted with the
possibility of the invocation Of a
Jehad, or holy war, in Egypt, and that
it might be necessary to land an army
there, created a tremendous sensation.
Earl Grey's statement came with a
dramatic suddenness, and has taken
the whole country by surprise.
The recent execution of five natives
at Danishaw, Egypt, and the flogging
Of several others for the murder Of
English officers has drawn the de-
nunciation of the radical press, and
served to bring forth Earl Grey's
warning.
Speaking in a solemn tone and
amid an intense silence, the minister
declared that the recent attacks on
British officers at Tantah were not
accidental, but a deliberate manifesto
ton Of the fanatical spirit which had
necessitated the strengthening of the
garrison in Egypt, and declared that
unless the authority of Lord CrOmer
and the Egyptian government was
strongly upheld, situation requiring
the adoption of stern measures might
arise.

WINNIPEG LOSES IGORROTES.
FiIipinos Ordered Back to Their Home
by the U. S. Government.

WINNIPEG, Man., July 12.-The
camp of the Igorrotes who have been
on exhibition for the past week at
Happyland was disbanded last night
by orders of the United States gov
eminent and the natives were taken
to their quarters in Winnipeg, where
thew will remain until this afternoon
when they will be taken to Chicago
en- route to the Pacific coast, whence
they will take passage to the Philip
pines.
That the United States government
should be required to exert it's author
it is alleged to the negligence of DR..
T. K. Hunt of Chicago, who brought
last March, and who, it is now said,
has failed to live up to his agreement
with the government in caring for
them.
Fred F. Barker, official Of the Unit
ed States government, accompanied by
R. Schneidermind, who speaks the
language of the Igorrotes reached
Winnipeg yesterday and Immediate
ly went to the camp where he began
an investigation. Through the inter-
probation of Schneidermind it was
learned that the band wished to re-
turn to their homes, and further that
they were dissatisfied with the treat
ment they had been subjected to since
being brought to this continent 1t
was then determined that the band
should be taken to Chicago prepara-
tory to returning to the Philippines.
A meeting of the Canadian club
was held yesterday to consider the in
cdent of the floating on July 4 of the
flag of the United States over the
Winnipeg city hall, which has caused
much adverse comment and indigna-
ton. A committee was appointed to
inquire into the facts and report.
