THE ANGLo-GERMAN PROPOSAL
4 Scmi-OmcinI Explanation of the
Loan Profcrcd PorturnI

LISBON. Jan. "a semi official note "a
the press, regarding the Anglo German
agreement, has just been issued. 1t is as
follows:
The British and German Governments.
having previously reached an agreement
between themselves, informed Portugal
that in the event Of her contracting a large
loan for the purpose OF reorganizing her
finances, the two Governments were dis
posed TO guarantee the success of the opera
ton At the same time. the Governments
of Great Britain and Germany assured
Portugal that the basis of the agreement
between them was the recognition OF the
integrity of the Portuguese colonial do
minions and the legitimacy of Portuguese
sovereignty over the Portuguese posses
sions. They further suggested that. in the
event of Portugal accepting proposal con-
corning loan, the latter should be guar
anteed by the colonial and customs re-
ceipts. The Portuguese Government then
declared that it had no need Of such loan,
and. according to our information, has no
such need to the present day
1t will be noticed that this note does not
deny that money will be needed when the
Delagoa Bay award has been made or refer
in any way to the possibility OF a lease.

scHLEY MAY GO TO AFRICA.
itnn to Despatch Warships to
Dclagpa Hny,

The question OF sending United States
! warships to Delagoa Bay has agitsted both
wings Of the State War, and Navy build
ing. Secretary LcnE. it is said, has been
considering a plan for some days past OF
sending one or more vessels to South Africa
to lock after American interests in those
waters.
II any warships should be sent thither it
is highly probable tSat Rear Admiral
Schley would command them. Schley has
ever since he was assigned TO his present
command but he IS under orders to remain
in South American ports for the present.
Since Admiral Schley sailed. however. the
seizure OF American ships at African ports
has changed the aspect OF affairs. and
has opened the way for sending Il couple OF
cruisers. for instance. to DelaEol Bay It
is understood that naval officers strongly
favor the plan, and that Secretary Long
himself would like TO send Schlcy upon the
cruise. f' F'r
But the Secretary ~ State. II is reported,
is greatly opposed to sending the ships. lest
II may irritate Great Britain unnecessarily
and imPeril the good feeling which now ex-
lists between the two countries.
While there is no immediate prospect OF
vessels being sent to South Africa. the mat
ter is under advisement, and 1t is believed
that plans are already uatured ia the Navy
Department for sending Schley Immediately
to Delagoa Bay whenever the time may ar
rive that seems to require such action.

Holmes. wealthy grocer of Dsnville. is
applying the strict letter of the Scripture
to his business. Some time ago he sur
prised his friends by building a bonfire
in front OF his handsome store on Main
Street and piling on it every cigar and
every piece OF tobacco in his store. No
one was allowed TO touch the pile until
the last bit OF fame had died away.
y few days ago he became convinced that
the selling OF pork and lard was contrary
to the Scripture. and his stock Of both
was likewise destroyed
Mr. Holmes is a Presbyterian and stands
high in all circles. He is deep student
OF the Bible and OF literature generally and
cannot be said to even border on the
crank condition.
He has been very successful in business
and says it is his intention to handle moth
ing which is in the slightest degree against
the welfare OF mankind or contrary to the
teachings OF the Scriptures.
