FURTHER DISORDERS FEARED. CONVICTS BREAK LOOSE. Received April 23, 1.20 a.m. London, April 17. Though the situation in F.gypt is outwardly quiet, further disorders are feared and the Twenty-sixth Division from Dobrudja has been sent to reinforce General Alienby. This enables him to recommence the leave and demobilisation of troops, particularly the Australians end New Zealanders, who volunteered to stay when the English women and children were endangered a month ago. The Australians and New Zealanders behaved with splendid public spirit, realising the necessity for their retention. An insurrection in Tura Prison on April 12 resulted in five hundred oonvicts breaking loose. Black warders fired, killing twelve and wounding seventy, but a hundred are still free.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Asf/i.
