Lord C'urzon, speaking in the House of Lords, stated that evidence existed that the enemy had instigated and had long prepared for the Egyptian disturbances. The Government was sending n special mission, under Lord Milner, to inquire into the disorders,'and to report on the best form of constitution for Egypt under the British protectorate.

Two riots had resulted in great damage. Twenty-seven British soldiers, four British civilians, and nine Indian soldiers were killed, and seventy British and forty Indians were wounded A considerable number of Armenians and Greoks were killed; and nearly a thousand Egyptians were killed in suppressing the rebellion. The position was now satisfactory.—Aus.. N.Z. Cable Assn. STATEMENT IN THE COMMONS.
