WITH WILD TRIBES. The war methods still required to deal with truculent African tribes are set out interestingly in a number of dispatches from Sir F.

The village waa destroyed, sad subsequently the 'captives were given up, after discussion by the Muiishls aa to whether or not t they should kill them all. (Seventy-wo more captives were released, making a total of IIS out of 1H3. which was the number missing aa far aa 1 known, in addition to 7ti aciuully aeen to be killed." Incidentally, it la disclosed by these dispatches that the disturbances which broke out at Sohoto while these operations were in progress "gave cause for very grave anxiety. Lieut, Col. H shier waa wo advised hy the high coniniisslouer, awl. us it appeared, quite possible that there would be a general religious rising throughout the protectorate, he railed on hia officers and men "for a special effort.

The large quantities of arms of precision subsequently surrendered showed how very completely armed the population waa. .The operations were brought to a successful conclusion, but were marked by a regrettable Incident" in the shape of the surprise, defeat and retreat of n small force in the Kwale district, when all the three European officers were wounded, and there wrere twenty one casualties out of n total rank and file of seventy.
