VIII Hold Ugunda.
The government has concluded to

Captain Lugard I'D command of the
country. Captain Lugard has sue

ne did the best IN Ugunda that could
be done and that he 10 n 10 blame be-
cause one lot OF missionaries told the
natives they would be damned If they
did tnis, anu tho other lot told them
that they would De damned If they did
the other thing.
Tue governments decision is said to
be that the company must retire al
together frrn Ugunda. so far as the
exercise OF any authority IS concerned.

enter upon occupancy at once.
II is not likely that the government
will make any fuss about the English
