HOT NEWS FROM EGYPT.

A SPECIAL FABLEGRAAf. The Berliner Tageblatt, with an enterprise which must have made even tho chief of the Wolff Bureau turn green with envy, has secured some startling news from Egypt;—■ , The English, finding themselves driven to the wall in Egypt, have, as is the habit of all wild aniraals at bay, turned on the innocent and defenceless inhabitants. In the vicinity of the Suez Canal twenty-four absolutely harmless persons were shot as spies. A dozen Egyptian military officers were sentenced without trial to imprisonment for life. A large number of the Australian troops were shot dead in masses because they resented tho domineering attitude of their fellow-Britons, the feffioors of the Home forces.

To add to the reign of terror which the English have thus established, violent quarrels, loading to an interchange of blows, have arisen between the British High Commissioner and General Alaxwoll, each of whom is constantly countermanding tho orders issued by the other.

The Tngeblatt's Cairn correspondent is hereby recommended for five Iron Crosses of the first class, and election to the Inner Circle of the Society of Ananias,
