HC Deb 20 May 1895 vol 33 c1606
Mr. R. A. YERBURGH (Chester)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it is the case, as stated by Colonel Colvile in his Dispatch from Kampala of 5th December 1893, that the State of Usoga owes allegiance to Uganda, and that the State of Unyoro is tributary to Uganda; and, if so, whether, in view of the further statements contained in the said Dispatch, that Kabarega the King of Unyoro, had invaded Usoga, and that the capital of Kabarega, is the only remaining great Slave Trade centre in that part of Africa, the Government will extend the Protectorate they have declared over Uganda to Usoga and Unyoro?

SIR E. GREY

I see no reason to question the correctness of Colonel Colvile's statement, but it does not seem necessary as far as the present relations between Uganda and Unyoro are concerned to alter the limits of the Protectorate.
