RIP VAN wINkLE's LAND.
The Portuguese Colonies in Africa in

From the london Leader
The Portuguese colonies in Africa are the
Rip Van Wrinkles land OF reality. After
three centuries Of white dominion they re-

Da CANA ard his bold successors left them.
In tie years report of consul for
Angola these Portuguese peculiarities stand
out strongly.
Thus. from Loanda, the capital. to Cape
Town is about sixteen hundred miles, and
the Journey should take about six days.
What actually happens is this: You first
take trip of 5000 miles to Madeira. where
you waylay the next mail steamer, and
then complete the excursion by another
journey of 1880 miles to Cape Town. In
short. $50 miles have to be travelled to
cover a distance OF 1.t5O miles A letter be-
tween Cape Town and Loanda takes about
two months.
Here is picture OF what trade means in
she favored region of Cabinda bay where
there is a single white trader. who occu-
pies n house Of three rooms, with shop
of twenty feet by eight feet attached The.
place is stocked with puncheons of some
vile stuff called rum which are ex-
changed for palm kernels
Knots of natives from the interior vii

Even when there was only a CULVER of the

the fangs that were still terrible.
