Details Of the Massacre OF Native
ChFisfianB I'm Africa.

LONDON, October 26. Details have
been received of the massacre Of na-
tive Christians of Uganda, Africa, by
the order of King Niwanga, The
massacre began in June, and. sEas d.
rectly due to the refusal Of Christian
lady as the Kings page to commit an
abominable crime. Many Christians
were ortured, mutilated and speared,
and thirty.two were burned alive to-
gelher. The appeals of the mission
aries for cessation of the atrocities
were unavailing and did not serve
to frigh'en candidates to bap-
tism, and within week after
the massacre many natives were bap-
tized at their own desire. Lsafletscon-
tanning extracts from the Scripture,
prayers and hymns in the Uganda
language are freely bought by the peo-
pie, although their possession involves
danger of punishment. The diary OF
Harrington, who was put to death by
the King, will soon be published in
London. 1t is a thrilling and pathetic
narrative Of his experiences in Uganda
up 10 the day of his death.
