LEAVING WESTERN ABYSSINIA RAS IMRU TO SETTLE IN UGANDA (British Official Wireless) ■ (Received 7th October, 11.35 a.m.) RUGBY, 6th October. News has been received at London that Captain Erskine, British Consul at Gore, is making good progress with the evacuation, and is expected shortly to arrive at Gombela, 100 miles distant. He proceeded over mountain passes through bandit-ridden country, by a 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 left Western Abyssinia, except a few traders at Jimma and some missionaries at Sirama, who consider it safer to stay rather than risk the perils of the journey.
