I'm the Cocoa Fields of San Thome
and Principe IsIapds.

as a result of the exposure Of the
slave trade in Portuguese Africa, by
Henry w. Nevinson, the explorer, it is
probable that the British government
will take steps to put stop to the cruel
treatment of the natives by the slave
slaves. which is growing rather than
decreasing, Mr.. Nevinson says that In
most cases the slaves are originally OBJ
tanned by natives, who buy them on
some charge of witchcraft, or for debt,
or for drink Sometimes they are kid
naped, or captured in raids. Some
times they are mere plumber of Portu-
guese traders
They are then taken to the so-called
emigration agents." who are establish
ed at various points in the country I'M
der Portuguese regulations, and are
forwarded by them to the coast, where
they are received by other agents, chief
ly at Benguela, but also at Moro Re
dondo and Loanda. The prices natur-
ally vary according to the slaves health
ard capacity

Nevinson, who was taken from her
husband and three children far in the
interior, bought for 20 cartridges and
sold in Benguela for about $50 In the
district of Bihe, which is some 300 miles
from the coast, an OK, load of rubber
and a young slave are regarded as
about equal value. But In Benguela,
