r%I HE English have long covet-
M#A ed the port of Lorenzo
KEN y Marquee and Delagoa Bay,
AWMK and now, according to the
e@&a news dispatches, they are
likely to secure this inn
portant strategic and commercial
point by purchase of the, en-
tire Portuguese possessions in East
Africa. 1t is asserted that this
acquisition will be announced at the
next meeting of parliament. tbs also
reported that Germany is to have
portion of the Portuguese possessions
in accordance with a secret convention
with Great Britain as reward for
German neutrality during the Boer
war. In the light of the fact that Del
agoa bay is admittedly the key to Brit
ash South Africa, the peculiar eager
ness of his maiesty's government to
possess it is easily appreciated.
Delagoa bay is not only one of the
best natural harbors in all Africa, but
it is the only practical bile seaport with
in reasonable reach from Preto ria. In
possession of it the English may easily
clinch their claim to being the supreme
power in South Africa; without it they
are more or less at the mercy of for
eign nations. Delagoa bay lies at the
southern extremity of the Portuguese
territory of Mozambique. 1t is nearly
20 miles in length north and south and
from 16 to 25 miles in width. Nearly
all South African ports are more or
less spoiled by the presence of huge
sand bars at slight depths below the
waters surface; but in Delagoa bay
there is sufficient depth of water over
the bars to allow the passage of smaller
boats, while navigable channels of con-
siderable width for the largest YES
sells are well known to the government
pilots. The inner harbor, from the bay
to the mouth of the English river, on
the left bank of which is located the
town of Lorenzo Marques, is an i'm
posing stretch of water. The whole

view from the bluffs back of the town
Is said to be one of the most beautiful
and magnificent ina ginable. On closer
inspection, however, it is seen that the
original town of Lorenzo Marques was
located upon an in-favored site, being
built upon long, low bar of sand not
very far above the water. Originally
this sand spit receded landward into
low, swampy ground, but under Eu-
ropean invasion this land has been
drained and an upper town is spring.
ing into existence upon the higher
ground, leaving the lower lands for
wharfs and shipping houses. Delagoa
bay was first discovered by the famous
Portuguese navigator, Nasco da Cana,
who, some five years after the discov-
cry of America by Columbus, embark
ed, like him, with three vessels, but
with the mission of discovering a new
route to India by rounding the Cape
of Good Hope. BY this hardy under
taking, which, like all voyages of that
| day, was exceedingly adventurous, he
succeeded in reaching the eastern
| coast of Africa. Here he coasted for
some days along the shore to the south
of Delagoa Bay. This land he called
Natal because he first saw it on Christ
mas day. When he reached the great
| bay which was to prove his most inn
| portant discovery he was we'll received
there by the natives; but hardly tar
rying to explore the region even about
the mouths of the large rivers that
empty their waters into the bay at
that point, he proceeded northward
along the coast as far as Mozambique.
Then he returned to Lisbon.
In 1905 another feet of Portuguese
vessels started upon voyage of con-
quest along this coast. By some mis-
hap one vessel lost the rest of the fleet
and put into Delagoa bay. Landing to
secure provisions the crew was at
tackled by the natives and many of
them killed, although few succeeded
in putting to sea, where they were fin
ally picked up by the expedition. The
rapid conquest of the country discov-
cred by Vasco da CANA was due en-
tirely to the holiness with which the
Portuguese continued voyages of dis
Laurence Marques and Antonio Cal
deira, sent out by the captain of the
province of Mozambique, coasted along
the shore in a frail bark, exploring the
various rivers which they found, among
them the several emptying into Della
goa Bay. A small station was estab-
lished upon the Espirito Santo (now
called English river) and the place was
named Lonrenco Marques. The town

Natives brought tuslls down to the
coast at this Point, taking them across
to Inyack island at the entrance to the

THE editor of the REPUBLICAN
has been accused of being one of
those two Senator men or want-to-
win Republicans. We stand con-
victed on that score. We think it
is much better to have two Repub-
ican U. s. Senators than two Dem
ocratic Senators. We lave no
choice of the men who are to rep
resent Delaware in Washington, hut
will abide by the choice of the
members of the Legislature. The
quarrel settled which has been GO
ing on for the past 10 years. and
Delaware represented in the U. $.
Senate, would, in our judgment be
much better than two empty seats
aud the Republicans ready to fly at
one another's throats and call each
other traitors, renegades and many
other epithets that begin and end
with cuss words. We cannot all be
Senators with only two vacancies
to be filled. The would-be crop of
Senators is large, which has as much
to do with keeping up the fight as
anything else. We do not all think
alike, which, perhaps, is a good
thing, as this world then would
hardly be worth living in to a great
many people. But nothing has
been done, that we can see, that
has benefited the State by the bitter
quarrel that has been going on in
Delaware for SO many years past.
