§ SIR C. DILKE Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, when Mwanga, after his first defeat, was driven into German territory, a communication was addressed to the German authorities, by the British military authorities on the spot, pointing out the danger of Mwanga's escape, and asking them to keep Mwanga at a safe distance, which they promised to do: what evidence there is that care was exercised to prevent Mwanga's escape; whether he will state to the House what is the latest information received with regard to the expeditions of Major Martyr and Major Macdonald from Uganda,; and whether further Papers can at once be laid upon the Table with regard to the affairs of the Uganda Protectorate?
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. ST. JOHN BRODRICK, Surrey, GuildfordYes, Sir. A communication was addressed to the German authorities. There is no reason for supposing that care was not taken to prevent Mwanga's escape. There was a sentry outside his door, who shot the servant with whom Mwanga had exchanged clothes by mistake for the King.
