LopRENzo MARQUEE. Sept. 25.-sev-
eral thousand Kafiirs are threatening to
attack this town. The government has
distributed arms among the white pop
ulation for defense Serious trouble is
expected.
Lourenzo Marquee is a walled Portu-
gnese town of Africa on the north side
of Delegoa bay. 1t has a good harbor
which gives it considerable Importance
in the trade with the Transvaal. The
town has a population of about 900
and is protected by number of roughly
constructed old forts The town is sit
uated in the southern portion of the
province of Portuguese, East Africa,
which extends along the coast from the
mouth of the Zambesi to Delegoa bay
and is bounded in by Mashonaland,
Matabeleland and the Transvaal.
The Transyaal leaders have long been
anxious to secure control of the Delegea
Bay railroad and they have also been
ambitious to have seaport, Iourenzo
Marquee preferred. With tbs object
IN view the Beers recently sent the sum
of $3.50, 900 to London in order to pur-
chase the bonds which Portugal is ex-
pected TO issue as soon as the Bernie ar
bitrators have decided the Question of
boundaries. A few days ago, on Sept.
10, advices from Pretoria said that the
Transvaal government had acquired the
prior rights in Delegoa bay inclnding
control of the port dues, thus giving the
fransyaal commanding position and
free access to the sea.
