Famine in British East Africa.

The famine in British East Africa is a serious one. The protectorate off, cials have been put to sore straits to provide food for their subordinates. and in some cases the garrisons have been fed very largely on the game which the officers could shoot. The distress and disaffection among the na- tives is taking some very unpleasant forms. Recent travellers over the Uganda railway report that in places the line has been torn up by the na- tives, thus causing great delay both in the passenger traffic and in the transport of stores. It is probable that the natives in some way connect the present scarcity with the making of the railway, and it must not be over looked that the employment of ten or twelve thousand Indian eoolies on the construction of the line may have ma terially affected the local supplies of food stuffs. The unusually low Nile which is reported from Egypt points to a severe drought in the Upper Nile regions and in the Abyssinian high lands.
