§ Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can give the House any information with regard to the state of affairs in Ashanti.
§ Mr. A. J. BALFOURI believe all the information at the disposal of the Colonial Office has been already made public through the ordinary channels of information, and my right hon. friend near me tells me that no information of any sort has reached the Colonial Office since this morning.
§ Mr. J. CHAMBERLAINThat is not literally correct. I have received a telegram, but it does not contain any fresh information.
