Washington, Nov. 9.-Earl
Kitchener's ultimate destination,
during his mysterious absence
from the British war office, is
said by confidential information
received today to be India,
where, according to the same in
formation, British rule is con-
fronted with a more serious
state Of unrest than has general
ly been known outside of British
official circles.
Through the thick veil which
the British censorship has
thrown about the events in India
and Egypt comes a statement
that Nawab, Sultan VI Mulk, the
nizam of Hyderabad, one of the
most Influential of the native
princes and staunch supporter OF
the British, has been deposed by
his people. This development
coming as one of the climaxes to
successive reports of mutinies
and unrest, many of which have
been substantiated and admitted
by the British government, is
said to be the leading reason for
Earl Kitchener's departure from
England, which has been shroud-
ed with much secrecy.
Kitchener Merely HaIts in Balkans.
1t has been officially announced

been generally interpreted as mean

among those close to the government
that while Lord Kitchener may stop in
the Balkans to coordinate the efforts
of the allied forces. his ultimate desti-
nation is not only India, but Egypt as
well, where the British gateway to
Asia is now menaced by the TeutOnic-
Bulgarian-Turk successes in the Bal
kans. Coupled with repeated rumorS
of activities of German agents TO-
Inenting discomfort among the native
population of India have come reports
of disaffection in Egypt, also
ascribed to the same sources
German Agents Busy.
Since the Turks failed to cut the
Suez canal, mainly through the
prompt arrival of colonial troops from
New Zealand and Australia, it has
been reported that agents from Con-
stantinople and Berlin have been
conducting a persistent propaganda
among the natives. Some time ago
Great Britain imposed the most string
cnt restrictions against the entry of
foreigners to India and Egypt, with
the announced purpose of keeping out
tho agents of Great Britain's enemies.
The Importance to the British of the
reported downfall of the nizam of
Hyderabad may be illustrated by the
fact that at the critical moment when
Turkey entered hostilities and the sui
tan called on all Mohammedans for
holy war the nizam of Hydera bad,
head of the largest Mohammedan state
in India issued a manifesto to his
people, in which he declared it to be
the duty of all Mohammedans in In
