On Tuesday the newspapers published a communication from the Foreign
Office stating that news had just been received from Unyoro that Colonel Evatt had attacked Kabarega on the east bank of the Nile on April 9th, and had completely defeated him. Three hundred of the enemy were killed, and Kabarega, himself, who was severely wounded, and Mwanga were taken prisoners. Our loss was two killed and twenty wounded Waganda. This is excellent news, and marks, we trust, the beginning of better things in Uganda. It means that not only the last embers of the mutiny have been stamped out, but also that Mwanga will no longer be able to foment insurrections. We wonder what the Foreign Office will do with Mwanga. We suppose they will deport him to Zanzibar. It is also interesting to speculate on what is now , the nature of Mwanga's religious beliefs. He has been, we believe, in turn an Anglican Protestant, a Roman Catholic, a Mahommedan, and an ordinary worshipper of fetish.
