PORTUGUESE MAKE
 REPLY TO PENAAR
IT IS CLAIMED THAT PENAAR AT TEMPTED TO LEAD INSURREC TON IN PORTUGUESE COLONY OF ANGOLA.

Washington, December 29.- The Portuguese legation tonight replied to the statements recently made by Joeu- bert Penaar, former officer in the Boer army as to the slave trade. in Portuguese West Africa. The statement in part follows:
 ''Joubert Penaar was a refugee in Portugal during the closing stages of the Boer war. When peace was made, he, in common with many of the other Boers, settled in the south of the Portuguese colony of Angola. It soon became apparent that the Boers had plan on foot to seize part of the Portugues colony in West Africa and to set up there a new independent Boer republic.
 ''It was further ascertained that Penaar was the prime mover in this conspiracy. For this reason and for no other he was expelled from Portu- guese territory.
 Penaar's complaints as to the arbi- trary confiscation of his property and cattle are merely the vaporings of his defeated ambitions.
 While 1t is just within the limits of possibility that some isolated in- stance of wanton cruelty to the ne- groes may have occurred. in the wilder parts of the interior as it might in any other country similarly situated, it is absolutely certain that no case has been reported to the government. Should bly substantiated, punishment would follow"
