HC Deb 14 February 1898 vol 53 c468
SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Papers will at once be laid before Parliament as to the Uganda rising of last summer and as to the disaster to the Macdonald Expedition; and whether he can inform the House of the circumstances under which the ex-King Mwanga has left German territory and recrossed into Uganda?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE N. CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

Papers are being prepared as to the Uganada rising of last summer, and also as to the recent mutiny of a section of the Soudanese troops in Uganda, which, however, it is not quite correct to describe as a disaster to the Macdonald Expedition. We do not know anything of the circumstances under which Mwanga has escaped from German territory. We are only aware of the fact.
