SITUATION IN EGYPT AND
SUDAN CONTINUES QUIET
LONDON, Dec. I.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —Egypt has agreed to
the outstanding terms previously un
accepted, which were laid down after
the assassination of the sirdar, Sir
Lee Stack. Messages to this ef
fect, it is learned from authoritative
sources, have been received from
Lord Allenby, British high commis
sioner in Egypt.
The demands to which the Egyp
tian government at first refused to
accept were that all Egyptian offi
cers and purely Egyptian units of
the Egyptian army be withdrawn
from the Sudan; that an increase in
irrigation be permitted in the Sudan
and that opposition cease to British
wishes concerning protection of for
eign interests in Egypt. After the
Egyptian refusal, the British au-
I thorities themselves ordered the
| Egyptian troops to evacuate the
i Sudan and some of them have left.
[ The situation both in Egypt and
I the Sudan continues quiet, according
to the latest reports from newspaper
correspondents, whose dispatches
imply that further trouble, in the
Sudan, at any rate, is improbable.
Propagandists Blamed
The mutiny of a small body of
troops in the Eleventh Sudanese
battalion is generally ascribed di
rectly to the influence brought to
bear on the men by their officers,
acting in behalf of Egyptian propa
gandists.
The full extent of the casualties
among the mutineers, suffered dur
ing their fighting with the British,
apparently will not be established
until the ruins of the building in
which they barricaded themselves
are cleared away, but some reports
indicate that only about a score lie
under the debris.
A Cairo dispatch on Saturday said
one officer and fourteen men of the
mutineers were believed to have
been killed, the remainder surren
dering, with the exception of a
small number who were being
rounded tip by the police. An offi
cial communique showed that two
British officers, one British physi
cian and two Syrian physicians were
' killed and nine men of the ranks
wounded. *
British to Withdraw Troops
The Cairo correspondent of the
Daily Express says an agreement
has been reached by which the Brit
ish troops will be withdrawn from
the Alexandria customs house,
which they recently occupied. This,
he adds, would seem to indicate con?
fidence in the ability
of the new premier, Ziwar Pasha,
to hold down the extremists and ful
fill the British terms.
Mustaf Nahas, former minister,
and a number of other lawyers have
addressed a letter to the public pros?
ecutor protesting against the arrest
of members of the chamber of depu
ties in connection with alleged plots
against the British and demanding
i their release.
A message received today say.« the '
Cairo schools, in which the students {
have been on strike, are reopening !
and that the situation is quiet in ;
Cairo and Alexandria.
There is no prospect of further dis
orders, this message asserts.
