The Soudan War.
[Reuter’s Telegrams.] THE THREATENED ADVANCE OF OSMAN DIGNA. GREAT CONSTERNATION. THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. London, May 15. It has transpired that in consequence of the threatened advance northwards of Osman Digna and the followers of the Mahdi, and with a view of allaying the consternation which has been thereby caused, the Egyptian Government recently decided to despatch a portion of the Egyptian forces now stationed at Assouan to Wady Haifa, an important military position at the Second Cataract on the Nile. The Imperial Government, however, vetoed the proposed despatch of troops. Negotiations regarding the forthcoming International Conference on the Egyptian question are still proceeeding. The Egyptian Government, in furtherance of its claim to a voice in the deliberations, proposed to appoint Nubar Pasha, President of the Egyptian Council of Ministers, as its representative, but the British Government objected to the Egyptian Premier attending the Conference.
