General Allenby announced on Monday week that order had been

in great measure restored in Egypt, and that Zagblul Pasha and his friends would be released from internment. This was taken by the Nationalists to mean a great political success for them, and was celebrated by street demonstrations which led to further rioting. Several British officers were murdered last week in Cairo, where the mob began to attack the Greeks and Armenians. At Alexandria on Thursday week a mob attacked the British troops, and did not desist until the soldiers fired on them. The late Premier, Rushdi Pasha, formed a new Ministry en Wednesday week, and appealed to his countrymen to keep the peace. We discuss the situation elsewhere.
