England Faces Egypt Evacuation Treaty Standoff
Russia and France block Turkey from signing a treaty that would evacuate Egypt by British forces under Salisbury terms. England remains in possession, awaiting terms from other powers or military action. French papers label the convention a duplicitous move while American papers warn Britain may be deemed a laughing stock by some. French papers argue for inviolability of Egypt for all powers, including England and France, and urge France to guarantee it will not seize Nile territory. The London Standard notes a conclusive reply if France presses evacaution.
