EGYPTIAN TROUBLE

UNDER MARTIAL LAW. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) • LONDON, May 1. Egypt is quieter. British officials, under martial law are carrying on the government as the Egyptian Government is not carrying out its functions. THE AMERICAN NOTE. LONDON, April 24. Received May 2, 11 p.m. The Press Bureau announces the publication by the Foreign Office of the Note communicated to General Allenby on April 22 by the United States Minister at Cairo, announcing that President Wilson recognises the British Protectorate ovgr Egypt proclaimed in December, 1914. The President reserves for further discussion the details of the recognition, along with the question of the modification of any American rights which the decision may entail. President Wilson and the American people have every sympathy with the legitimate aspirations of the Egyptian people for a further measure of self-government, but view with regret any effort to obtain its realisation by resort to violence.
