A despatch to Lord Rosebery from

ENGLAND AND EGYPT

Lord Cromer of 16th February, just published, recapitulates the events of the second crisis, and contains the protest against the Khedive's action which if disregarded would have eutailed further graver consequences, but it was not prudent to assume positively that future trouble was ended.
