§ SIR C. W. DILKEMay I ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any information with regard to the continued fighting in Vitu, and the circumstances under which it is being carried on?
§ *SIR E. GREYI did not know before I came into the House that the question was going to be asked, and, therefore, I cannot give any details. There has been one telegram to the effect that a further engagement has taken place with a native chief, it having been provoked by him. It stated, further, that Mr. Rodd hoped to leave Vitu for Zanzibar on the 22nd. The casualties, apparently, were few, and I think, as Mr. Rodd expects to leave Vitu so soon, the operations must have been effective.
