News has been received in London that Captain Erskine, British Consul at Gore, Abyssinia, is making good progress with his evacuation and is expected shortly to arrive In Gam befit, 100 miles to the west. He has proceeded over mountain passes, through bandit-ridden country by mule train, with a party of foreign nationals, mostly Greeks, ahead of him, and followed by Ras Imru, one-time commander of the Abyssinian Army. Ras Imru is leaving Abyssinia, and has been given permission to settle in Uganda. Practically all foreigners have lett Western Abyssinia except a few traders in Jirnrna Province and some missionaries in Sidamo who consider it safer to stay rather than risk the perils of the journey.
