IURITID PRIM ASSfCIATION.—COPIRiafIT.) ♦ CAIRO, 2nd March. Sarwat Pasha's formation of a Ministry following'upon Lord Altanby's return, and the announcement of th* British policy resulted in a demonstration in the' extremists' districts of Cairo, in which the native military arrested 1 twenty-one persons. The situation has become a struggle between the Ministerialists and the extremists. The former are optimistic as to their ability to control the situation. They propose immediately to draft a constitution^ and arrange for the early election of a politically supreme Legislative Council. Sai-wat Pasha has appealed! for the co-operation of the best elements, in order to establish a xuiited independent Egypt..
