CRIMES AGAiNST BRITISH.

SEVERAL ATTACKS IN CAIRO. A. and N.Z. CAIRO, Feb. 19. The murder of Mr. Jordan, a New Zealander who owned a business in Cairo, was the fifth outrage of the kind in a week. It suggests that the extreme Nationalists have commenced a policy of murder of English officials and residents. Extraordinary circumstances surround Mr. Jordan's death. The body was found on ono of tho busiest bridges in The city, but there is not an iota of evidence to indicate how it came there, though it was found in broad daylight. When it was taken to the hospital a native doctor certified that death was due to heart failure, but a post-mortem examination revealed a bnllct in the stomach. Mr. Alfred Brown, an official of the Education Department, was that in a busy street when he left his office at lunch-time. His servant, who was behind his master, was also wounded. The assailant escaped, firing in order to deter pursuers. Mr. Brown died in the evening Mr. Peach, a railway official, was leaving a suburban station with bis wife, when ho was shot in tlie thigh by two natives who escaped.
