HAS NO FOUNDATION.
Regarding the Division OF
Portuguese south African Col
onies a Fabrication.

Berlin. Dec. 2o.-Regarding the state
ment by the Lokal Anzeiger that Sc
cret observation-disclosures treaty
exists for the division of the Portu-
guese colonies in South Africa cor
respondent of the press is able to as
sert on the highest authority that the
story is a pure fiction and is al lis
claim without foundation in fact. The
high official who authorizes this denial
made the following declaration:
There is no objection to stating that
the understanding had by Great Brit
o!n. Germany and Portugal refers only
TO Africa and leaves Asia wholly out OF
the account 1t is quite certain, how
ever, that Germany under 10 considera-
ton would conclude such bargain
with Portugal as the Lokal Anzeiger
acts forth. Anyone with the slightest
political sense ought TO see that these
Tiny enclaves in the midst of British
India are the last colonial possessions
Germany would dream Of.
Berlin, Dec. ga German official
agency issued "a statement in the even
ing to the effeetthat the assertions OF
the Lokal Anzeiger were arbitrary
and erroneous guesswork."
Official circles in Berlin describe the
statements made as quite inaccurate"
London, Dec. 29.-The Standard says
that no credit should, be given to the
rumor from Berlin of secret Anglo
German-Portuguese treaty for the par
tition of the colonies of Portugal.
Paris, Dec. 29.-The publication by
the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, of the
secret treaty between Germany, Portu-
gal and Great Britain, providing for the
partition of the Portuguese colonies,
meets with no credehce in official cir
Giles here. A foreign Office official said'
to representative of the press that
their advices from Portugal and Ger
many left no doubt that the publica-
ton was largely invention. They
could not believe Portugal would sign
II treaty stripping herself of her col
onies, and so far-reaching and harmful
to Portugal"
Washington, Dec. 29.-Nothing is
known here of the reported intention of
Great Britain and Germany TO partition
Portuguese East Africa between them,
Great Britain taking the country
around Delagoa bag and southwark
and Germany the northern half of the
territory which adjoins the German
East African possessions. The officials
here attach no credence to the story
because. as they point out, movement
of this kind, disturbing the BALANCE of
power in Africa, would lead almost GER
tainly to serious complications between
the principals and the other powers of
Europe. Moreover, the old rumor of
secret treaty between England and
Portugal, whereby the former might
for proper consideration possess itself
of Delagoa bay whenever the place is
needed for military purposes, has al
ways been credited 10 some extent here,
and il such treaty really exists there
would be no need for Germany's par
ticipation as reported.
