LONDON, Oct. 2o-The African sstua-
ton has heen aggravated by the Frenca
semi-ofTiciai note. made public on Tues
day last and reading.
The news from West Africa fore
shadows great difficulties ar Nikki and IN
Roregu. The Niger Company tBTitishe Is
sending officers there 10 increase It's re-
hellion and distribute arms 10 the natives.
In view Of this situation. French troops
have been dispatched % the district from
Senegal as a preventive measure. More
over the British negotiators for a setIle-
ment OF the Niger question have been in
Paris for over week. and everything
points to Great Britain seeking 10 let
matters drag. Seemingly she does not In
tend to discuss the question, but means
will undoubtedly be found TO foil these
tactics"
Then the situation was further aggra-
waited by the reply of the British colonial
effice, issued the same day, declaring that
there did not seem 10 be any reasonable
fear of complications al Nikki. capital Of
the Boregu territory. provided the
French government behaves reasonably" :"
II was added however, at the colonial
office that Great Britain has taken the de-
termination TO more effectively police her
territories, and If the French persist in
trespassing. complications will naturally
arise.
ENGLAND Growing Angry.
The wording OF these statements, II is
pointed out. shows that both sides are in
clined to lose their tempers. Even the
