HISTORY OF THE PROTECTORATE TERRITORIES 233 



agent of the chartered company. Lngard marched straight on jNlengo, 

 refusing to listen to jNlvvanga's attempts at temporising and delay. He 

 proposed a new treaty to Mwanga, which was for some time opposed by the 

 French faction, but suddenly agreed to and signed on December 26th, 

 1890. On the following day (December 27th) arrived the first English 

 Bishop of Uganda who ever took up his residence in that country, 

 Bishop Alfred Tucker, who holds that position to this day. Following on 

 this treaty of Lugard's came, however, a civil war between the Koman 

 Catholics and Anglicans, culminating in an attack by Mwanga's adherents 

 on the small fort which Lugard had been allowed to build at Kampala, 

 a suburb of Men go. 



Prior to this outbreak the Muhammadan ex-king of Uganda died of 

 smallpox, but a successor had been chosen in the person of Mbogo, and 

 a serious raid had been made by the Muhammadans on the central 

 districts of Uganda. Captain Lugard marched with a contingent of 

 Baganda under the present prime minister, Apolo Kagwa, against the 

 combined forces of the Muhammadan Baganda and the Banyoro. He 

 inflicted a severe defeat on the Muhammadans, but had resolved, never- 

 theless, on the bold project of proceeding to the west coast of Lake 

 Albert and taking over all the ex-Sudanese soldiers of Emin's province, 

 who were established at Kavali's under Selim Bey. The ultimate result 

 was that Captain Lugard brought Selim Bey, his 400 or 500 Sudanese 

 soldiers, and a rabble of some 7,000 wives, followers, and children, into 

 South Toro, where he established them in the newly created kingdom 

 over which he had placed Kasagama (the present king), who was a prince 

 of the Unyoro royal family. 



After Lugard returned to Mengo in 1892 the long-brewing trouble 

 between Catholics and Protestants finally burst out in civil war. Lugard's 

 fort on the hill at Kampala was attacked by the French party (as the 

 Koman Catholics styled themselves). The situation was saved by his 

 Maxim gun, which repelled the attack of thousands. Mwanga fled, as he 

 always did when war broke out, and the flag of the Imperial British East 

 Africa Company was hoisted over his reed palace at Mengo. Mwanga took 

 refuge with the P\-ench missionaries on the island of Bulingugwe. This 

 island was attacked by Lugard and Captain Williams (his military 

 assistant), and Mwanga then fled to the German frontier. After negotia- 

 tions that were futile, and much shilly-shallying, Mwanga returned to 

 Mengo, and became reconciled to Lugard. After making an attempt to 

 settle the Muhammadan })roblem by winning over the jNIuhammadan 

 representative of the royal family of Uganda (^Ibogo) to the British side, 

 Lugard finally left Uganda in the middle of 1892, having, it may be 

 truly said, effected very wcmderful things with very small resources. It
