BOERS DISSATISFIED
RETURN FROAI ANGOLA.
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.)
CAPE TOWN, February 24. Epur hundred Boer families, numbering 3000, who trekked from the Transcvaal to Angola, are, in consequence of an alleged breach of faith on the part of Portugal, relating to titles of farms and education of children and language, threatening to return to the Union. Three delegates concluded an interview with the Administrator of SouthWest Africa and the Union Secretary for Lands, at which they described the position of the settlement as intolerable. They acted as a buffer between marauding natives and the Portuguese and were given no rights. The Administrator offered land to l£o families, but the nation must bear all expenses. The Cabinet is considering the matter.
