HC Deb 03 August 1900 vol 87 cc639-40
MR. HEDDERWICK (Wick Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has ascertained the cause of the rising of the natives of Ashanti.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

No; and it will not be possible to form a definite opinion as to the causes of the rising until further information can be obtained when, order has been restored.
