INSOLVENT EGYPTIANS.

ATTACKS ON BRITAIN. HYSTERICAL INDIGNATION. LONDON. June 16. A letter sent by the British High Commissioner in Egypt,' Lord Lloyd, to Ziwar Pasha, the retiring Prime Minister, expressing Britain’s recognition of his valuable work during liis term of office in the interests of AngloEgyptiau friendship, lias aroused the Wafdist Liberal press to indignation bordering on hysteria, says the Cairo correspondent of the Times. In addition to castigating Ziwar Pasha as a traitor, these papers are filled with disrespectful, almost “insolent, attacks on Britain, and the Egyptian Government’s toleration of these particularly strong outbursts in its own organs has created a most unfortunate impression in British circles, •which point out that the hostile attitude of tlie Government’s own mouthpieces tov'ards Britain’s simple appreciation of the work of furthering Anglo-Egvptinn friendship scarcely squares with the official declaration of the new Prime Minister, Adly Pasha, at the opening of Parliament to the effect that ho desired to establish cordial relations between Britain and Egypt.
