Rise schek and othora, Mrs. Morrison | , THORSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1874—TRIPLE SHEXT, THE SLAVE TRADE. Lieutenant Cameron's Official Report on the East African Slave Traffic, “A RAILROAD TO TANGANYIKA. Lonpon, Ausust 14, 1874, The following official report of Lieutenant v, Lovett Cameron, R. to the Earl of Derby, of the Foreign Office, was received this evening:— KawE.e, Ujiji, March 4, 1874, My Lorp—l have the honor to bring before your consideration the question of the East Airican | eared to me since [ pave It is a question of vast im- portance, as, untii 1¢ is put an ead to, little or nothing caa be done toward the regeneration and civilization of this part of the world. and while communication remains in its present unsatistac- vory state slavery wili still continue to be a biot on some Of the fairest and most feriile portions of the world. ‘he slave trade flourishes in a belt of jungle villages, avout a week’s march from the coast, the people of which have agreed to supply acertain number ofslaves to the inhabitants of Whiocle, in return for which they are ailowed to extort Mhongo, or blackmail, irom passing cara- vans. This has only been the case during tbe last twelve months or so, ourcaravan and some others which came up about the same time having been the frst who were subjected to this extortion. ‘These villages are buiit in the centre of patches of jungle, abd oniy accessibie by narrow and tortu- as paths, which could easily be blocked so as to render access impossible. However, none of tne patches are large coough to prevent their being thoroughly searched by rockets: and. in the event | Of the people retusing to desist from their abomin- able traitic, they might easily be reached by @ naval brigade tormed irom the squadroa on the East. Coast. With a view to this, it might be well | it the depot ship were furnished with w rocket bat- | tery and a couple ot the Abyssinian seven-pound- | ers, together with a mule train suficient to pro- vide the necessary transport. COLDBLOODED MURDERS. Proceeding westward, on the regular caravan | route, Simbewani and some dependent villages form another centre where slaves are sold to cara- Vaus proceeding to the coast. They are princi- ( ly procured by forays on the surrounding Washeazi (vr wild people), a party setting out and destroying villages and carrying olf those of the inhabitants who are not killed or are unable to make their escape. If among the captives there are any who, by aye or infirmities, are vaiueless in the market, they are irequentiy murdered in cold blood, in order to save the vaiue o! their food, After crossing the Makata Plain, the villages ot Mbumt, Kdeletamaré, Rehenneko and jainyi Usagara, together with some owned by freea men or escaped slaves of the Arabs at Zanzabar, form the foci of the trade. Here, in addition to the slaves obtained by forays, the captives made in the internal wars of the Waroro and Wabeni, are bought and soid, and also tbe people are by no means averse to attacking caravans of Wanyam- west, if they think themselves atrong enough to do so in salety; but this is usually done more for the sake of plunder than to obtain slaves. SLAVES IN THE INTERIOR, From here one passes on past Mpwapwa, which is more # provisioning station for caravans be- tween two desert tracts than anything else, to Ugogo, which 1s principally an.importing country, the soil being comparatively poor and requiring mote labor iu its cultivation than the rest of the country, besides which the natives (meu| confine themselves to taking care of their cattle, of which taey have large herds, leaving the field Work to their women and slaves, However, at Kboko, where a jew Wamrina are settled, and | Mdaburu, the two Western districts, slaves are exported—usually bought from the Warori, whose country marches with theirs on the south. After Ugogo we come to Unyamwest, which may be con and Uvinza on the west, Here the question is more complicated than any- where else, THE ARAB SLAVE TRADERS. 1, There are the Arabs, under which term I in- clude Waswahih, Wamriwi aod the rest, as it is the general custom to do so in this part ot Africa, and their connection with the trade may be classed under two heads:— (a.) The respectable portion, who have eitner set- } tled in the country or who take charge of large trad- mg caravans. These neu buy slaves for domestic Lacie und to cultivate thelr large snambas, or arms, many possessing a whole village and sure rounding country, besides their tembé in Taborab, | Kivikurah, or Kiviharah; some more thanone. Ali the inbaoitants of there villages are slaves.
