London, Nov. 28 (By the Associated Press). —The Egyptian embassy in Ixm don said today that it regarded the out break among the Egyptian troops at Khartum as not due to any influence out side the battalion involved, and not eon ne< ted officially with the trouble in Cairo. It is stated in official quarters, howev er. that it was expected that if trouble broke out along the Nile it would origi nate in the Sudan. While a mutiny of troops was not an expected possibility, it was not left outside the official Calcula tions. and the government feels that it has the position so well in liand that spread ing of disorders in Kgypj is improbable. Tlie arrest and imprisonment of the leaders of the Egyptian extremists re moves the greatest} danger to the situa tions in Cairo and Alexandria, where any important outbreaks, it is thought, would be likely to start.
