EGYPTIAN TROUBLES.

WORKERS RESUMING. Bli Cable. — Press (Rcuter) CAIRO, April 27. As a result of General Allenßy'fl proclamation, the great majority of the Government employees have re*" turned to work. America's recognition of the British protectorate over Egypt has had a sobering effect, and brought home to the minds of the extremists the futility of their exaggerated aspirations. PREMIER RESIGNS. (A. & N.Z.) CAIRO, April 27, A reconstruction of the Cabinet is probable following on the resignatio of Rushdi Pasha owing to .illhealth. Rushdi formed a Cabinet during the critical period and helped the authorities to calm the disturbance. He withheld his resignation until order was restored, and the Government servants resumed work. The extremists, who had been boasting of America's help, are astounded that Mr Wilson has recognised tha British protectorate.
