BRITISH AFRICAN AaaREss1oNs.

LONDON, April 1l.-Advices received
here from Uganda under date OF December
:. say that the British East Africa com
psny's forces met those of Kabba Regas,
the most powerful chief of the district,
and defeated them. The fight lasted three
hours after which the enemy fed, leaving
fifty dead upon the field. The British
residents 10 Uganda recently declared war
against kabba Regas, king of Unyor.
King kabba Resas was considered vas
sal OF King Mwanga of Uganda, but he re-
fused TO acknowledge this or pay tribute.
The power of ksbba Regas was At one
time very great, but tyranny aud cruelty
are said to have weakened his hold upon
the natives. He is a notable slave dealer.
His native bands, equipped with FIRE arms
obtsined fro NJ Arabs. have devastated vast
tracts of country. driving the peaceful
people into the mountains and forests aud
killing and making slaves OF many Of
them.
As Kahba Regas Is said to have many
natives in slavery, a march into bis terri
tory on the part o. the British forces
would seem to be one of the possibilities
OF the near future. the plea being appsr-
entity taat Kabba Regas' capital IS place
where the Arab slavers find Al asylum
and headquarters. Thus il is apparently

COLUMBUS, O.. April 1.-THE United
Miners OF America have ordered general
strike April q.
J. A. Crawford of Illinois, member of
the executive board, presented the resolu-
ton to strike. Van Horn of Indiana op-
posed the date, asserting that the Indiana
miners had contract with the operators
to work until May II. Joseph Dunkerly,
state president OF Indiana, WAS bitterly
opposed to the date and wanted assur-
ance that Illinois WAS ready, for If 1lli-
nois was not, then the coal operators of
that state could supply all the states
around. The date Was changed to the
21st on account of the 22nd being Sunday,
and the resolution carried.
The resolution referred to above pro-
vides that in case the first general suspen-
sion of mining fails to bring the desired
results, the executive board Is authorized
TO order another suspension during the
year at auy time that may be deemed al
visable. 1t is understood that the Indiana
miners in joining the movement in the
face OF their contract to mine until May l,
did so upon the ground that they were
compelled under the circumstances to
enter upon the suspension, claiming that
the operators IN one district had first

sent week the debate on the tariff bill

time there should be no interruption by

result OF an understanding. first among the
Democratic leaders, and secondly between
the Republicans and Democrats. The
general impression about the senate Is that
the agreement entered into will probably
continue about fortnight. but Senator

beyond a week, for the reason that he did
not wish to be bound when it became APP

THE SEAL PATROL.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE sailing or
ders and Instructions TO he commanders
of tue ships Of the seal patrol were COM
pleted by the navy department to-day and
subm tied to the secretary of state for his
approval. So far they are kept secret, but
the general tenor OF the in structions, it Is
understood, require the naval officers to
seize any vessel found engaged in sealing
north of the 35th degree of latitude
after May 81 aud before August l.
The presence on board of sealing APP
paratus will be regarded as sufficient
proof Of the character of the vessel to
warrant her seizure. The seized vessels,
if carrying United States flags. Will be
sent to the nearest United States port and
delivered to the judicial officers there TO
await trial If British vessel, it WILL be
turned over to the British naval officers.
who will return her to Victoria.
The sailing orders will also be kept Sc
cret so as not to defeat the purpose OF the
disposing of the vessels of the fleets as to
make it probable that no sealing craft can
venture far into the sealing waters without
"a reasonable certainty of capture. Some
of the naval vessels will lie in wait in the
neigh borhood of Sand Point and at the
mouth of the passes between the Aleutian
islands through which the sealers
would pass from the North Pacific into
Beriug sea. A contingent OF the fleet will
cruise off the coast of British Columbia
an South ern Alaska, following no the
sea herds. The fact that vessel, United
States or British. has cleared from port
before the PRONUNCIATION OF the laws will
not suffice to save her from seizure. her
