German East Africa.
Dondon, February 19,
The Wangoni tribe in German Hast Africa are invading the Langeburg province at the northern end of Take Nyassa. Severe fighting took place, wherein Captain Weise and a detachment of native soldiers were killed. It is feared that unless strong reinforcements are sent Northern Nyassaland will be ablase with revolt.
The native rising in German East Africa began with attacks by a predatory tribe on the coast villages. The Indian traders succeeded in making their escape, but the houses were looted, and a German planter and a few Arabs were killed. The German Soudanese troops, under Major Johannes, operating in two divisions from Kihva and Tohoro respectively, pursued the insurgeants, and hanged three of the ringleaders. The rising is attributed to a desire for looting, an 1 not to political unrest. The same tribes rose in 1898.
