London, Sept. s.--The news tele-

ques has caused much speculation as
TO the Portuguese intentions in South
Africa. Many people believe that
there is a secret agreements between
Great Britain and Portugal, which
win enable the former power to ex-
ercise long-cherished right of pre-
emption of Delagoa bay.
Others connect the Portuguese re-
inforcements with the intention to
refuse the Boer fugitiyes an asylum
in Mozambique, and the determine
ton of the Lisbon government to
no longer permit the Dutche forces to
draw supplies from Delagoa bay. So
long as the Transyaal was independ-
ent, Portugal had no right to prevent
goods other than contraband of war
from reaching the frontier, nor could
she prevent unarmed burghers from
entering the territory; but if Portu-
gal recognizes the British annexation
of the Transyaal as valid she will be
entitled to treat the Beers as rebels
against a friendly state, and could
refuse to grant Kruger or other lead
] ers or escaped Boer combatants per-
m.s zion TO seek refuge within the
domains of King Carlos.
