Foreign Slave Trade.

In a report presented to the British Par
Lament showing the activity and extent of
the traffic in slaves upon the African coast,
are some facts especially worthy the attention
Of Americans.
The actual export Of negroes from all
points Of the coast appears TO be now ch city
carried on under the flags Of Brazil aud
Spain; there can be no question, how ever,
that, indirectly, the flags of other nations
continue to be used in aid Of the traffic. In
respect to that Of America indeed, though
possibly not employed so openly as formerly,
in consequence of The more effective %surveii-
lance of The United States c~ruizers, still the
most %efiectual assistance is rendered by it
TO the slave-dealer; not only are vessels
built expressly for him at New Orleans and
other American ports, but they are frequently
brought to the coast, and there transferred 10
hum, the American flag being retained until
the slaves are embarked. American vessels
are also now regularly chartered by some of
the principal slave-dealers for a period, say
two years, during which they are bound 10
go whithersoever they may be sent by the
charterers, and to ship such freight as may
be procured for them; the only stipulation
being, that they are not TO be required lotake
any cargo which will subject lhem to seiz.

suitable for the traffic are aiken direct to the
slave-iactories from the places of manuiac-
ture, and also slaves, hoops, deals, and other
articles necessary for slave equipment but
which may be safely carried by American
vessels under the name OF ''lumber."
The houses Of Pedro Blanco. and Of Zulu
eta aud Co., are reported to employ Ameri-
can vessels in this manner; but French.
Tuscan, and other European bottoms are also
concerned extensively in conveying goods
for the slave market.

The mo I successful adventures IN the
coast Of Africa. during 1914, were those ac-
compiishrd with the assistance of vessels um-
der the American flag.
Thp plan h IS been to employ two vessels
under charters, sending them to Africa from
this place with clrgoes adapted for the Afrl-
can marts, and also with water and other
equipments for the transport Of slaves. Ole
of these vessels proceeds to trade at the diff
ferent African ports. under the directions of
the chief supercargo, while the other remains
stationary, as a stnrp-ship, at the place where
the negroes are collecting for elnbarkation.-
This stationary vessel, generally one which
has. according to the terms Of ii former char
ter, been two or three previous voyages, is
then. under the conditions frequently found
in such contracts. delivered over to the char
terprs rs their property when, being prepar-
ed for the reception OF the slaves. and all the
time under an illegal flag, she is crammpd
with slaves as soon as the opportunity offers
and proceeds to her private rendezvous in
Brazil. THjther aLso her consort returns in
baLast, wih part Of The crew y' the other res
sci on board. and in ali probability assists,
shouH occasion require, to decoy the cruisers
from the vessel taking The SLares.

they could not get them. The negroes slept

got all the muskets and pistols, and loaded
them, and the crew were firing down amongsl
