4 TR1NSCONTISESTdL EMPIRE.

The scramble for territory in AinCa con.

Portugal that causes intense irritation III Eng

outlet for the trad" Of the interior provinces Of
South Africa Dcagoa Bay marks the south
ernmost settlement Of III" Portuguese on tn"
East Coast, their possessions embracing fifteen
degrees of latitude northward toward Zanzibar
and including Mozambique the mouths Of the
ZambeSi and Sofaa. II is port that is greatly
coveted by the English, who have nOminalIy
annexed the BcchunaS and the great tract
stretching from the Limpopp to the IanibeNi
The line to be built with English capital was
projected as the first of a series Of railways by
which the interior Of Southern Africa could be
brought into rapid communication with the
coast, and the new gold and diamond fields
rendered accessible The Portuguese Govern
ment now suddenly intcTcneS with veto upon
the construction Of the line, and claims the
exclusive right Of building railways from the
coast inland.
This action indicates serious attempt on the
part of Portugal to carry out the visionary
scheme of the Lisbon geographerS. and to estab-
lish an empire stretching from coast to coast
Opposite Mozambique and the Zambcsi delta
there are several important colonies on the At
lantic coast, notably Bencguela and Angola
under the same flag and "a broad belt OF tern
tory between the two oceans is claimed on the
ground Of priority Of discovery and exploration
This transcontincntal tract Of vast extent, II
reserved for Portugal, will not only exclude re-
cent English anncXations and protectoiTti"N

by France and Germany. In 1856 an agree
ment was entered into between Portugal and
France, by which the former was
permitted to take up and colonlze
the entire region lying between her
colonies on the Atlantic and Indian oceans
Germany subsequently assented TO the same
convention, apparently for the sole purpose OF
embarrassing England. Two European Powers
are therefore behind Portugal in this deliberate
attempt to close the Zamb eSi, to cut OIL NyaHsl
Land from commercial privileges, and to block
the progress Of the English in tropical Africa
Lord SaIi.bury's diplomatic resources will
have to be heavily drawn upon in order TO
counteract policy at once hostile 10 England
and ruipous to Africa. The Portuguese have
shown themselves IN he unfit for the work Of
