principal
  nobles, and the residences of the foreign ministers. The
principal
  traders are Armenians and Hindus. About a mile north-
east
  of the palace is the military camp. On the hills some five miles to the north, 1 500 ft. above the camp, are the ruins of an old fortress, and the churches of St Raguel and St Mariam. The town is in telegraphic communication with Massawa,
Harrar
  and Jibuti. It was founded by Menelek II. in 1892 as the
