HORRORS OF SLAVERY.
FIENDISH CRUELTIES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyr;cfct. London, Jan. 20. A correspondent of the Westminster Gazette who lately returned from Abyssinia declares that the worst forms of slavery are rampant in Adis Abeba, surrounded by open fiendish cruelty which is hardly discounted by the Foreign Offices of European Powers. The writer states that he saw a convoy of 10,000 slaves, the men chained together in a row, with women and children dragging alongside the main body. In the course of a day’s inarch he counted 50 dead or dying along the trail. Some of these slaves were captured in Abyssinian territory, others in British East Africa, others in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. There have also been several raids into the Kenya colony.—Aus.-N.Z.
