HC Deb 28 July 1898 vol 63 c305
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Belgian officers on the Congo State frontier have applied for British help; and if there is any probability of the Dervishes, reinforced by Manyama, attacking Toru, Unyoro, and Uganda; and, if so, what steps will be taken to resist them?

MR. CURZON

No application has been received from the Belgian officers for British help, nor does there seem to be any probability that the Dervishes will attack Toru, Unyoro, and Uganda.
