Germany’s Colonial War.

HINDERED BY PARLIAMENT,

Berlin, May 28

Amid shouts of “ German Boulanger,” and "Buffalo Bill,” Colonel Hiemling, who is General von Trotha’a successor as Acting Government Commissary in South-West Africa, during a debate, excited the fUry of the House by trying to dragoon the Reichstag into voting moneys for continuing the war in the Colonies. He added : “So long as I have the honor to command, the southern districts will not be abandoned, unless the Kaiser orders it. He alone has decided and no one else."

The Radicals of the centre denounced General Diemling’s unseemly language. The Reichstag insists on the concentration of colonisation to a few points in South-West Africa, evacu aiing the districts adjoining Cape Colony, which would release 5000 troops.
