DeIaso Bay.

Delagoa Bay. on the southeastern
coast of Africa, Is owned by Portugal.
1t is of great strategic Importance In
any future contest for control in South
Africa, because IL 1t were in hostile
hands the South African Republic
would be prevented from getting ac-
cess to the sea. President Krueger's
recent large importations of war ma
terials have all been forwarded via Della
goa bay. England has been for some
time anxious to acquire the bay, either
by purchase or lease from Portugal;
and the recent appearance there of a
British squadron of eight ships, and
the landing of guns at Inyack island,
ut the entrance of the bay, indicates
hat the arrangement, though denied,
has been made.=Youth's COMPANION.
