OF unrest than has generally been

ever, had no advice on the situation.
At the British Embassy It was said
that no new advices had been received
to throw light on the situation.
Through tho thick veil which the
British censorship has thrown about
events in India and Egypt comes
statement that the Nawab and Sultan
ul-Mulk, the Nizam Of Hyderabad, one
of the most influential of the native
princes and stout supporter or the
British. has been deposed b. his
people.
Will Visit Egypt, Too.
This development, coming as one Of
the climaxes 10 successive reports OF
mutinies and unrest, many OF which
have been admitted By the British gov
ernment, is said TO be the leading rea-
son OF Earl Kitchener's departure,

Suez Canal, mainly through the prompt
arrival Of Colonial troops from New

ported that agents from Constantine
pie and Berlin have been conducting a
persistent propaganda among the ma
t!ves. Some time ago Great Britain
imposed the most stringent restrictions
against the entry of foreigners to adia
and Egypt with the announced purpose
of keeping out the agents or Irea'
Britain's enemies.
The Importance TO the British o. the
reported downfall of the Nizam OF
Hyderabad is indicated by the fact that
