COLONIAL Reoeived May 29, 9.30 a.m. BERLIN, May 28. After rejeoting the vote for the salary of the Secretary of the Colonies, yesterday, the Reichstag refused to vote for the German Southwest African railway beoause of dissatiefaotiou with the conduct of colonial affairs. The opposition included the Centre party. Amidst shouts of "German Boulanger" and Bill," Colonel Diemling, who is General von Trota's successor as Acting Government Commissary in South-west Afrioa, during the debate, exoited the fury>f the Houee by trying to dragoon'the Reichstag into voting moneys. He added: "So long as I have the honour to oommand, the Southern districts will not be abandoned, unless the Kaiser orders it. He alone has deoided, and no one else." > The Radicals and the Centre denounced Colonel Diemling's unseemly language. The fßeiohstag insists on the concentration of colonisation to a few points in South-west Afrioa, evacuating the districts adjoining the Cape, which would release five thousand troops..
