British I nloose Cannon on Native Troops in Sudan Fourteen Killed as Rig Guns Wreck House Sheltering Body of Mutinous Soldiers. tly IntrniH t imial New* Service. Cairo, Egypt, Nov, 20.—Wherever Egypt turned tonight It stared Into the throat of a cannon. For the first time since agitation seized the country over Britain's re prisals for the murder of Sir I.ee Stack, Sudan's governor general, ar tillery was used upon the natives this afternoon. Big guns tore down a house in Khartoum, wherein the mutinous Su danese troops who killed threo doc tors in attacking a hospital had bar ricaded themselves. Fourteen natives were killed and those of the muti neers not killed were captured by the English troops. That was only one of the meager report* of violence that seeped through slashed, telegraph wires from Khartoum. There came also reports of mob fighting in the streets, but the aerious consequences mentioned were not described fully. Warning was broadcast throughout the country this evening that any more attempts at rebellion would be met with executions before firing •quads. Sudanese troops were cau tioned that members of any organiza tion In which mutiny originates would be executed—a practice in use In mill ary organizations of many countries to Induce non-mutineers to report the activities of rebellion fo menters. British reinforcements from the English troops in the Sudan are on their way south. Heavy guard Is be ing keep over all munitions to prevent Egyptians, whose stocks are low, from replenishing them. The British are preparing for fur ther outbreaks in the Sudan, al though violence In that country has been confined thus far to Khartoum. Pola Negri has just bought a new 10-room house In Hollywood.
