HC Deb 14 March 1898 vol 54 c1524
SIR ELLIS ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information as to the campaign in the Soudan, especially as to the report that there are European officers with the Dervish forces?

MR. CURZON

I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject of the Soudan campaign, but I may say that we have had no confirmation of the rumour referred to.
