ENGLAND AND EGYPT. London, March 15.
The Earl of Rosebery, Secretary of .State for Foreign Aliairs, has instructed Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, special Commissioner in ' Egypt, that the British army of occupation will shortly be reduced by .siv regiments, and has informed him that Her Majesty's Government propose to withdraw the British force to Assouan, as the furthest •southerley outpost, while Egyptian troops will protect the frontier as far as Wady Haifa. Moukhtar Pasha, the Turkish Commissioner, hesitates to assent to these proposals, as the withdrawal of the British forces will ent-iil large reinforcements of the Egyptian army. Hostile Arabs in the vicinity of Suakim are renewing activity. A body of friendly natives, who were out foraging, were attacked near Hasheen. They made a determined stand, however, and routed the rebels, killing thirty of their number.
