PORTUGAL's COLONIES.

Is the kaiser about to add any Of
| Portusal's colonial dependencies in
Africa, China or India to the German
empire"
! This has been frequently rumored.
and us often officially denied. But
that something of the kind is in the
wind at the present moment may be
gathered from single sentence in the
annual report, just issued. Of the CO.
lonial Hank OF Berlin, Il semistate
concern. The phrase in question is
to the effect that negotiations are
now pending with view to the ex-
tension of the colonial possessions Of
Germany"
Tho new republican government of
Portugal has SO uncnviab1e a reputa-
ton abroad, and has been guilty of
such gross maladministration as to
close all tho foreign money markets

is not considered sufficiently secure to
warrant lending it any money. ON

and Germany arc known to have made
advantageous financial offers to the
republic for the purchase, or, failing
that, the long lease, Of some of the
Portuguese colonies in return for large
sums of money, which will be very
welcome at Lisbon.
But any such transa ction on the
part of Portugal with either of these
two great powers would entail war
between them. unless they were pre-
viously agreed about the matter For
England could not tolerate the aculls-
ition by Germany of Goa, on the coast
of India, about 100 miles north of
Bombay: of Macao, in China; of III
NOR. in the Malay archipelago, or of
the Cape Verde Islands without Wig
orous opposition. or of the Portu-
guese possessions in the west and east
portions of the Dark Continent with
ont herself sharing in tho increase of
territory. 1t therefore follows that
if Germany has some deal on hand
with Portugal for the acquisition of
some of its colonies. England is in
all probability a party thereto, and
will also obtain some of Portugal's
oversca dependencies. possibly Mozam-
hiqlic and Goa.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-01-01

The greatest gathering of fans
= who ever attended pugilistic
show in Southern California was
expected to pack the arena. For
I two days not ticket has been
4 available, and last night scalpers
were demanding double prices for
the few admission cards they had
been able to accumulate. A
crowd of 14,000-a $4,000
house-was predictd. Shortly
after daylight prospective gallery
patrons began lining themselves
rat the gallery box office, which
was expected to open at II
o'clock. It was early evident
that thousands would be turned
away.
The boxing public generally
was as far today form a choice
between the heavyweights as 1t
has been throughout their train
ing period. Even money prevail
cd In the betting with apparently
plenty to be had on either man.
More betting has been done on
today's battle than on any con-
test in recent years here, not ex-
cepting the Wolgast-Rivers affair
OF July 4, last, when many
thousands changed hands. Nc
Carty's wonderful left against
Palser's right cross appears as
the first comparison of the bat
teries carried by the Giants. Nc
Carly possesses one of the most
effective straight lefts ever seen
at Vernon. 1t was with this
punch that he flattened Jim
Flynn. Palser's right cross, his
henchmen claim, Is the blow that
will offset the cowboys pet
punch.
Persons who have watched
both Behemoths in the training
camps believe the battle will de-
velop into q contest between Nc
Carty's boxing ability and gen.
eral stiffness and Palser's ag-
gressive, slam-bang tactics. A
knockout Is generally predicted.
Utmost confidence prevailed in
both camps when the day OF the
battle dawned. McCarty was
abroad early. He strolled for
half an hour on the beach at Ven
ice before his substantial break
fast, after which he was taken
for an automobile ride. He came
to Los Angeles at noon.
PaIser slept late, Manager
O'Rourke refusing to let him be
disturbed until he won an endur-
ance record over Kid Morpheus.
He woke with q crouch that made
O'Rourke hug himself with joy.
The Iowan will remain at his
camp at Doyle's quarters until
time to go to the arena, near by.
Three preliminaries were bill
ed, the first to start at o'clock,
each for four rounds. The cham
pionship contenders were sched-
uled to enter the ring about an
hour later. Charlie Eyton will |

Weather conditions were per-
feet. New Years day dawned
clear and bright, without a |
breath of wind, and considerably |
warmer than the weather o. the
