DIVIDING AFRICA.
Statement rhs, EngiNnd, Germany and for-
tugai uave Agreed 20 a Division.

Berlin, Dec 90. The Lo<alanzeiger
publishes the contents OF the German
English-portugese secret treaty.
In order TO prevent any Interference
by France or Russia, England con-
eluded a secret treaty with Germany
regarding the complete partition Of
Portuguese colonial possessions. Ger
many is to receive all Portuguese pos
sessions in Asia that II to say, Timor,
Goa, Dsmaio, Macoa and Diu, with
10000 square miles OF territory and
1000, 900 inhabitants
Germany further receives in Africa
all Portuguese territory north OF Mo-
zambique, except a strip OF land three
miles wide for Mr. Cecil Rhcdess
transAfrican railway. For this the
German government will pay Portugal
%, 600. 600 marks
The surprising part in the statement
OF the Lokalanzeiger is that it refers to
Asia, when it has repeated been as
serted at the Foreign office that the
treaty only refers To Africa and did not
refer To Asia. II must, however, be
remembered that the Lokalanzeiger
was in position TO publish the Samoa
treaty twenty-four hours before the
official publication took place. Eng
land receives the remaining African
possessions OF Portugal, which contain
two million square kilometers and have
thirteen million Inhabitants
The consent of Portugal to this ar
rangement has already been obtained
in principle. The Lokalanzeiger de-
clares it has the news from such a
source that no dement, is possible.
1t is possible. If the story proves
true, that President Kruger may now
