Somaliland
Lonuox, November 30,
The Mullah has returned the British stores captured from Colonel Svvayne during the fight near Bohotleh. The stores were accompanied with a message of defiance. December 1.
Toe Somali levies are insubordinate and are being rigorously pupished. Many simulate sickness in order to secure hospital comforts and camel transportation to the coast. Colonel Cobbe on the 12th makes Balmain wells, 40 miles beyond Behotleh. The stores which were captured from the British and returned by the Mullah were unfit for use.
Mr Bennet Burleigh, special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, wires from Berbera that the Mullah was formerly an interpreter on British warships. In recent letters he offered to accept peace if Britain would acknowledge his independence, and grant him a seaport eastward of Berbera. The Morning Post’s Aden correspondent states that owing to the rains ceasing an advance in Somaliland is impossible until August. The posts, meanwhile, are being strengthened.
