The Natives Are Said- to lidake ,nceellent Soldiers. The British Government has de- cided to create a native array' in its various protectorates on the eastern coast, ot Africa, Somaliland, EaSt Africa, Uganda and Central Africa. Somaliland was created a protecto- rate in 1881, East Africa in 1895, Uganda, in 18.94. and Central Africa in 1891. In each of these districts the ruling powers have erected and maintained forces composed of na- tives officered by British, and serving solely -under the authority of the .Resident or Coinnussemer. The new order combines these se- parate organizations , into "The King's Afriean Eines," under a Brig- adier -General, whog0 headquarters will be Entebbe, 'Uganda.

It will not be long, pro- babiee before the Residents or Cone- missioners are succeeded by Gov- ern.ors, and the protectorates be- come -colonies in name as well as in fact. The natives have ehown themselves to be excellent soldiers ; they have been put to severe tests in several expeditionary movements, and have left little to desired., Detach- ments from. two battalions of the Central Africa Rifles visited England a year ago, and made a good im- pression; and the new force can pro- bably be filled several times over from natives • who apply for enlist- ment. Six battalionsa-regiraents in everything but name—are to be cre- ated ;two Central Africa and two Uganda battalions, and, one ,East Africa and one Somaliland -battalion. These will be perinea -tent organize. - tions, officered by officere detached from their regular cdramand.
