DR. CAMERON (Glasgow, College)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has received any intelligence pointing to a renewal of the Arab attack on the Scottish Mission Stations in Central Africa?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

Her Majesty's Government have received no intelligence of any fighting near the Scottish Mission Stations in Central Africa, subsequent to that mentioned in the answer given to the hon. Member for Wandsworth (Mr. Kimber), on the 19th of March. A telegram from Her Majesty's Consul at Mozambique, dated the 27th instant, states that he had received a letter from the acting British Consul at Nyassa, reporting that he had held an interview with certain Arab Chiefs at the north end of the Lake respecting the attack on Karongas.
