The need of an avenue from the east by

which British troops might be sent into the interior of Son ;h Africa at the present

juncture has been felt and remarked upon. It has been greatly regretted that Delagoa Bay and the territory inter- vening between ltand the Transvaal did not belong either to the Boers or the British, as in either case the railway from Lorenzo Marquez inland could have been utilized for the British attack and invasion of the Boer country. But

Portugal being a neutral nation this plan

S could not he carried out.

against an att ack from the eastward, also overlaps the British . possession!! in Rhodesia and Central Africa to the north- ward. And Britain had long ago secured ,from Portugal a. concession of the privi- lege oftransporting troops from the coast through the Portuguese possessions to the inland British country. This route is now to be utilized. From the port of B`eira, at the mouth of the Busio River, some 500 miles north of Lorenzo Marquez,

a railway extends some distance into the interior. There is no danger of the com- _munication being cut by the enemy on this route,as it lies.far to the northward of the Transvaal territory.

The question has been raised whether it

is not a violation of neutrality for Portu-

gal to permit the passage of the troops of

a belligerent through her country in time

fof war. Her right to do so has been challenged andhas amused some hostile criticism, which perhaps cannot be better answered than in the language of Senor

Beirao, the Portuguese Foreign Minister,

replying toan inquiry raised on 4th April in the Chamber of Deputies at Lisbon. He said:

“The transport of British soldiers by

railroad from Beira to Umtali was re- quested by Great Britain and consented to

by Portugal, because the British Gov- ernment thereby onlylexercised a right

countries. The outbreak of war has not abrogated these treaties, which were con- cluded and signed prior to the war by Portugal in a spirit of loyalty. I have im- formed the Transvaal of this resolution.

“Portugal has loyally adhered to its

duties and neutrality,and its reasons have been communicated to all interested parties.

“There could occur no more solemn

occasion than the present to declare that the British Cabinet has maintained with Portugal relations of cordiality and loyalty for which there is reason for con- gratulation. Please God that these good relations shall always be maintained.”

The route is acircuitous one, but in

view of the conditions existing at Maie- king there is no doubt that the Beira

expedition will be pushed along with all

l possible speed. In this way Col. Plumer

will be reinforced from the north and it is

A not improbable that a force will before long be gathered at Mafeking not only sufficient to relieve that town but also to make an effective invasion of the Trans-

vaal from that quarter.

A recent discussion in the Senate of

France threw some light on the relations

between the two nations separated by the British Channel and gives assurance of peace for some aims' to come. M. Del-

casse, Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke with kindly freedom of the necessity fcr mutual confidence and mutual respect fcr each other’s rights and-dignity. He de- 'plored “ridiculous threats” and said the time had not yet co ;ne to tell the whcl 1 truth concerning the events of 1898. ln
