ligionistS of Uganda chose hlweWa Tor
their King. Matters went smoothly for
a short time, until the Christians dlScov-
cred that the Mohammedans were endea-
vouring to detach the kings favour and
goodwill from them. They were heard
to insiDuate that as England had a Queen
the Christians intended to place one OF
MUesa's daughters on the throne instead
of Kiwewa. The new king did not long
remain undecided about the course he
should adopt, but the Mohammedans in
formed him that before they could accept
him as a genuine co -religionist he would
have to undergo the rte demanded. ri
wewa, however, though he had been ready
enough to ALLEVIATE The Christians, SAID
that he preferred deposition to conform

gered at Kiwewa's obstinacy, it was rcSol-
