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.
p Fortunately, however, the Portuguese

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
