Farther disproof of the pretence that an advance on Dougola is necessary for the protec- tion of the Egyptian frontier is afforded by a letter from a level-headed Journalist who bas gone to the Soudan as war correspondent of the London. Chronicle and a syndicate of provincial newspapers. He writes-The more I hear from prominent men in all departments about the course of events bere during the last few weeks, the more convinced I am that the Dongala expedition originated outside of Egypt. The order came from London, and whatever was the reason. It was not sny exceptional danger the Nike frontier. The Intelligence Department appears to have had no information that an early match up the Nile was likely. All tha milliary departments were in the same position. The railway department was qu'te unprepared I do not believe that until the London telegram arrived a single soldier or official here or on the frontier expected a campign.!!
The fact is, everything is tending to prove that the Soudin adventura was undertaken by the Billah Government as an urgent, imperative counter-move to French designs in the Upper Nile regions, and the first intimation of the Intended action was communicated to the Times by member of the Cabinet in London and published as a telegram from Cairo.
