Officials of Uganda’s new military government expressed disappointment that guerrilla leaders failed to show up for talks, but they said Gen. Tito Okello’s regime is still willing to negotiate. There were persistent reports that Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Army guerrillas were making major advances, and there was a short-lived panic in Kampala, the capital, when rumors spread that rebels were in the city. At a press conference, three leaders of the new government denied that the guerrillas had captured towns in far western Uganda or taken Masaka, southwest of Kampala.
