THE BOERS' REPUBLIC
Capetown, April 22. The republic which the Boers are forming in Manicaland has been under way for four years, and will be proclaimed on June 3. The Boers' expedition includes 1000 Cape colonists, and represents the Africander Baud, which now distrusts Mr Rhodes's Imperial schemes. The expedition will cross the Limpopo on Tune 2nd, and the republic will be declared on the following day. The republic will be established on the basis of a treaty openly granted to the Boers farmers ten years ago. London, April 22. The English press are unanimous in the opinion that a lesson should be taught Portugal for its action in Mashonaland. The " Daily Telegraph " insists that it is the duty of the Marquis of Salisbury to send the British fleet to Lisbon to demand satisfaction.
The Government of Capetown has forwarded a protest against the inaction of the Imperial Government with regard to the Portuguese action in Mashonaland.
The Marquis of Salisbury has demanded from the Portuguese Government an explanation of the event, and should it be unsatisfactory, he will insist on reparation.
