The Egyptian negotiations were continued this morning and this afternoon the Egyptians demand a joint administration of the Soudan, which Britain declines to conceded. EFFORT AT AGREEMENT CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT [ British Official Wireiess. ] RUGBY, May 7. Negotiations with the Egyptian delegation are being resumed again at 9 o’clock this evening, and a session until the early hours of to-morrow morning is probable. A Cabinet meeting will be held to-morrow morning, when the position will come before Ministers. Efforts are being made to achieve some definite result to-morrow. The Hon. A. Henderson (Foreign Secretary) has postponed his departure for Paris on his way to Geneva from tomorrow morning until the afternoon.

The actual situation is that the matter of the Soudan is still unsettled and is still under discussion. At the same time discussion is continuing on other points, such as the question of troops in the Canal zone—points which have been raised again since the Egyptian courier arrived from Egypt with the observations of the Cairo Cabinet upon refernces made to them.
