EGYPT
RELAXING ETIQUETTE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright). LONDON, June 5. A correspondent at Cairo states that Sir Eldon Gfljrst, British Consul-General in Egypt, has ordered that in future natives shall not be required to dismount from camels in order to salute British officers. The correspondent predicts that natives will continue to pay the usual compliments to native magnates, but are delighted at the chance of insulting the British. Sir E. Gorst’s order, he adds, was issued shortly after a British battalion was insulted in the streets of Cairo, so that this concession to the British sentimentalists is specially fatuous. THE MUBBEBBB WABDANI. CAIRO. June 5. The advocates of Wardani, who was sentenced to death for the -murder of premier Boutros, have asked for a new trial.
