An English Missionary and Sixteen OF
His Followers the Victims

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 25.-An English mis-
sionary named Brooks, and sixteen of his
followers were murdered Saturday near
Saadani, by members Of the coast tribes
and natives of Zanzibar. These murders
indicate the extent of the hatred to the
whites the Germans have aroused. Sand ami
for many years nas been the starting point
of European missions, the natives welcom-
ing the missionaries and assisting all Of
them, especially the English. The murders
have caused a sensation. The question as
to the measures England will take to punish
the murderers is eagerly discussed here.
THE SULTAN HARD UP.
LONDON, Jan 26, A. MA dispatch to
the Times from Zanzibar says: "Grave
pecuniary embarrassment is reported TO be
impending for the Sultan Of Zanzibar
Facts have leaked out which indicate that
his treatment at the hands of the German
East Africa Company is absolutely unpar-
alleled. Since the beginning of its
operations IL is stated that the
Sutan's direct cash loss has been over
450,00 rupees and his constructive loss tn
times that amount. The company exacted
the payment Of every penny 10 which it
would be entitled if in prosperous working
order. Ia addition to the value Of the losses
it sustained at Kilwai and elsewhere, the
sultan is compelled to pay monthly nearly
1900 rupees TO recoup the company for
the cost Of theoretical administration,
which has been practically abln-
doned since September, and the company
has made no repayments tn any officials or
soldiers on the coast, except at one place.
The company has thus driven vast body
Of malcontents into the insurgent ranks,
hating the sultan and company alike az re-
sponslble for their desritution, and it has
entirely destroyed the sultan's power 1t is
rumored that the sultan has repeatedly re-
Inonstrated with the German consul on
Germany's want Of success. In an open
durbar, recently, the sultan stated that he
had received only !, 900, instead of the Gus

gold-whereupon the men, mostly negroes,
refused to work and told the police that
