UNREST IN EGYPT
LONDON, June 5. The advocates of Wardani, the assassin of Baatros Pasha, have asked for a new trial. A correspondent at Cairo states that Sir Eldon Gorst has ordered that in future natives will not be required to dismount their camels in order to salute British officers. The correspondent predicts that. the natives will continue to pay the usual compliments to native magnates, but will be* delighted with the chance of insulting the British. Sir E. Gorst's order, he adds, was issued shortly after a British battalion had been insulted in the streets of Cairo, so that any concession at this stage to the British sentimentalists is specially fatuous.
