Governments with regard to the Gulf of Tajourra and the
Somali Coast, ~ February, 1888 *
(1.) M. Waddington to the Marquis of Salisbury.
(Translation.)
London, February 2, 1888.
M. le Marquis,
THE Government of the French Republic and the Govern-
ment of Her Britannic Majesty being desirous of arriving at
an agreement with regard to their respective rights in the Gulf
of Tajourra, and on the Somali Coast, I have had the honour
to address your Lordship on this subject on several occasions.
After a friendly interchange of views we yesterday agreed on
the following arrangement :
1. The Protectorates exercised, or to be exercised, by France
and Great Britain shall be separated by a straight line starting
from a point on the coast situated opposite the wells of Hadou,
and leading through the said wells to Abassouen ; from Abas-
souen the line shall follow the caravan road as far as Bia-
Kabouba, and from this latter point it shall follow the caravan
route from Zeyla to Harrar, passing by Gildessa. It is ex-
pressly agreed that the use of the wells of Hadou shall be
common to both parties.
2. The Government of Her Britannic Majesty recognises the
Protectorate of France over the coasts of the Gulf of Tajourra,
including the group of the Mushah Islands and the Islet of
Bab, situated in the gulf, as well as over the inhabitants,
tribes, and fractions of tribes situated to the west of the line
above mentioned.
The Government of the French Republic recognise the Pro-
tectorate of Great Britain over the coast to the east of the
above line as far as Bender Ziadeh, as well as over the inhabi-
tants, tribes, and fractions of tribes situated to the east of the
same line.

3. The two Governments engage to abstain from any action
or intervention, the Government of the Republic to the east of
the above line, the Government of Her Britannic Majesty to
the west of the same line.
4 The two Governments engage not to endeavour to annex
Harrar, nor to place it under their Protectorate. In taking
this engagement the two Governments do not renounce the
right of opposing attempts on the part of any other Power to
acquire or assert any rights over Harrar.
5. It is expressly understood that the caravan route from
Zeyla to Harrar, by way of Gildessa, shall remain open through-
out its extent to the commerce of the two nations as well as to
that of the natives.
6. The two Governments engage to take all necessary
measures to prevent the slave trade, and the importation of
gunpowder and arms in the territories subject to their
authority.
7. The Government of Her Britannic Majesty engage to
treat with consideration (" bienveillance ") those persons,
whether chiefs or members of the tribes placed under their
Protectorate, who had previously adopted the French Pro-
tectorate. The Government of the Republic, on their part,
take the same engagement with regard to the persons and
tribes placed henceforth under their Protectorate.

note, your Lordship will record officially the Agreement which
we have concluded in the names of our respective Govern-
ments.

which we have agreed with regard to the respective rights of
Great Britain and France in the Gulf of Tajourra and on the
Somali Coast.
The provisions of this arrangement are as follows :
1. The Protectorates exercised, or to be exercised, by Great
Britain and France shall be separated by a straight line start-
ing from a point on the coast opposite to the wells of Hadou
and passing through the said wells to Abassouen ; from Abas-
souen the line shall follow the caravan road as far as Bia-
Kabouba, and from this latter point it shall follow the caravan
road from Zeyla to Harrar, passing through Gildessa. It is
expressly agreed that the use of the wells of Hadou shall be
common to both parties.
: 2. Her Britannic Majesty's Government recognise the Pro-
tectorate of France over the coasts of the Gulf of Ta-jonira,
including the Group of the Mushah Islands and the Islet of
Bab, situated in the gulf, as well as over the inhabitants,
tribes, and fractions of tribes situated to the west of the line
above mentioned.
The Government of the French Republic recognise the Pro-
tectorate of Great Britain over the coast to the east of the
above line as far as Bender Ziadeh, as well as over the inhabi-
tants, tribes, and fractions of tribes situated to the east of the
same line.
3. The two Governments pledge themselves to abstain from
taking any action or exercising any intervention, the Govern-
ment of the Republic to the east of the above line, Her
Britannic Majesty's Government to the west of the same line.
4. The two Governments engage not to endeavour to annex
Harrar, nor to place it under their Protectorate. In taking
this engagement the two Governments do not renounce the
right of opposing attempts by any other Power to acquire or
assert any rights over Harrar.

I have the honour to state that the arrangement recited in
your Excellency's note, of which the above is a textual transla-
tion, is accepted by Her Majesty's Government, and will be
considered by them as binding upon the two countries from the
present date.
In doing so, I will add, for the sake of record, that I under-
stand the third clause of the Agreement to preclude the
granting by either party of protection to natives within the
Protectorate of the other party ; and that I gathered in con-
versation that your Excellency concurred with me in that
opinion.

With reference to the note which I have this day addressed
to your Excellency, accepting, on behalf of Her Majesty's
Government, the arrangement agreed upon between us respect-

your Excellency that I received some months ago a request
from the Turkish Ambassador at this Court that in any under'

His Imperial Majesty the Sultan might be respected.
I assured his Excellency, in reply, that the British Govern-
ment would carefully abstain in the future, as in the past, from
any interference with the just rights of the Sultan, and that I
was convinced that the Government of the French Republic
would act in a similar spirit.

(Translation.)
Berlin, 17 th November, 1890.
IN the course of certain discussions, which we had together
in the month of August last, on the reciprocal relations of
Germany and France, on the East Coast of Africa, your Excel-
lency declared that the Imperial Government -was disposed
to recognize the Protectorate of France over Madagascar -with
all its consequences.
On my side, I was about to give you, at our interview on
the 6th instant, the assurance that the French Government
would raise no objection to the acquisition by Germany of the
continental portion of the Dominions of the Sultan of Zanzibar,
as well as of the Island of Mafia.
It is, moreover, agreed that German subjects in Madagascar,
and French subjects in the territories ceded to Germany by the
Sultan of Zanzibar, shall enjoy in every respect most-favoured-
nation treatment.
With the view of establishing definitively the agreement
between the two Governments on these two points, I have the
honour to address to your Excellency the present communica-
tion, and I beg that you will cause the receipt thereof to be

to his Excellency the Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, M. Jules Herbette,
of the letter which he did him the honour to address to him
this day and to make known to him that the Imperial Govern-
ment adheres to the declarations therein contained. It results
from it that the French Republic offer no objection to the
acquisition by Germany of the Continental Possessions of the
Sultan of Zanzibar and of the Island of Mafia, and that
Germany, on her part, recognizes the Protectorate of France
over Madagascar, with all its consequences.
It is, moreover, expressly agreed that German subjects in
Madagascar, and French citizens in the above-mentioned terri-
tories, which the Sultan of Zanzibar cedes to Germany, shall
enjoy most-favoured-nation treatment.

NOTICE.
Free Port of Zanzibar.
INFORMATION has been received from Mr. Gerald Portal, C.B.,
Her Britannic Majesty's Agent and Consul- General at Zanzibar,
that on the 1st instant he publicly declared that on and after
that day import duties on all goods coming from foreign
countries into the Port of Zanzibar would cease and be
abolished.
The following articles are, however, for the public good,
excepted from the terms of this declaration :
1. Arms and munitions of war.
2. Alcoholic liquors, with the exception of beer and wines of
lower strength than fifty degrees centigrade.
3. Kerosine and all other explosive oils or dangerous sub-
stances.
The duty on these latter articles will be remitted under
certain conditions of storage.
All the above-mentioned articles will still remain subject to
the duties leviable under existing treaties with foreign powers
or under the provisions of the General Act of the Brussels Con-
ference (No. 18), so soon as the latter shall come into force.
The above notice applies only to the Port of Zanzibar itself.

App. II. NOTIFICATION to Treaty Powers. British
Protectorate of Zanzibar placed under Free Trade Provi-
sions of Berlin Act. 22nd June, 1892.
Circular to Powers Signatories of Berlin Act.
MY LORD,
SIR, Foreign Office, June 22, 1892.
I HAVE to request you to notify to the Government to which
you are accredited that it has been decided to place the British
Protectorate of Zanzibar, from the 1st July next, under the
free zone provisions of Article I of the Act of Berlin.
(No. 17.)
The conditions under which the finances of Zanzibar were
administered at the date of the passage of the Act were not
consistent with the adoption of the fiscal system of the free
zone, but under the Protectorate of Great Britain a complete
change has been effected. The finances have been placed
under European control, reforms have been introduced in
every branch of the Administration, and sufficient progress has
been made to justify Her Majesty's Government in notifying
the acceptance of the invitation tendered by the Powers in
1885 to the Governments established on the African Littoral
of the Indian Ocean.
Import Duties.
The whole of the Sultan's dominions, including the Islands
of Zanzibar and Pemba, and the mainland territory under the
administration of the Imperial British East Africa Company
will, from the above-named date, be placed permanently in the
same financial position as that in which the Congo Free State
was placed by the provisions of the Berlin Act (No. 17), after-
wards modified by the Declaration annexed to the Brussels Act
(vol. i, p. 88). The existing system under which the tariffs
and duties are regulated by Commercial Treaties with indi-
vidual Powers will be extinguished by the substitution for it of
993
22 June, 1892,] ZANZIBAR [App, 11
[Free Trade.]
the system framed for the free zone by the assembled Powers in
1885.
Duties on Spirituous Liquors, Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives
imported into Port of Zanzibar.
In making the above notification, your Excellency should
explain that, although the stipulations of the Declaration
annexed to the Act of Brussels will be applicable to the entire
Protectorate, it is not proposed that the Sultan should avail
himself at present, as regards the port of Zanzibar, of the right
of levying import duties conferred by that Declaration. It has
been decided that, until further notice, no such duties will be
imposed in that port except upon spirituous liquors, arms,
ammunition, and explosives.
5 Per Gent. Duty on Imports in other Zanzibar Ports administered
by British East Africa Company. Benadir Ports, 8f6.
In all the other ports of Zanzibar, including those under
the administration of the Imperial British Bast Africa Com-
pany and the Benadir ports, the 5 per cent, duty on imports
now levied under Treaty will be replaced by a similar duty
under the Declaration annexed to the Brussels Act (vol. i,
p. 88). This will be in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement respecting the tariff of the eastern zone of the Con-
ventional Basin of the Congo, signed at Brussels on the 22nd
December, 1890, by the Delegates of Great Britain, Germany,
and Italy (No, 19). The tariff will be subject to the modifica-
tions as regards arms and ammunition, spirits, and certain
specified articles, in accordance with the terms of the Agree-
ment.

Explanatory Despatch relating to the above Agreement between
Great Britain and the Congo State, of 12th May, 1894.*
British Sphere of Influence. Uganda, fyc.
The Earl of Kimberley to Mr. Hardinge.
Sir, Foreign Office, May 23, 1894.
WHEN Her Majesty's Government decided upon assuming
the Protectorate of Uganda, it became incumbent on them to
consider the position of Great Britain as regards that part of
the British sphere described in the Anglo-German Agreement
as the western watershed of the Nile. It was understood that
in 1890 arrangements were made between the Administrator of
the Congo Free State and the late Sir W. Mackinnon,' under
which the East Africa Company agreed to waive in favour of
the Free State any powers which it might acquire in the terri-
tory so described as a Chartered CompMny administering in the
British sphere with the sanction of the Crown. The documents

[Spheres of Influence in East and Central Africa.]
recording whatever arrangements may have been conluded
were not officially communicated to, nor sanctioned by Her
Majesty's Government, and obviously could not have validity
without that sanction. The Free State 1 Administration, how-
ever, appears to have considered that, in virtue of these
arrangements, it was justified in sending exploring parties into
the territory affected by them. The expeditions are believed to
have travelled over a considerable portion of the territory, and it
appears that their leaders made Treaties and established posts.
Her Majesty's Minister at Brussels was from time to time,
directed to point out that, though Her Majesty's Government
had no accurate information as to the destination and proceed-
ings of these expeditions, the territory thus explored was well
known to be included in the British sphere of influence.
Her Majesty's Government, in examining this situation in
connection with the Protectorate of Uganda, desired, in order
to put an end to all controversy as to these proceedings, to
arrive at an arrangement which would be satisfactory to both
parties. They could not fail to recognize the sacrifices which
had been made in endeavouring to open up the country by His
Majesty the King of the Belgians, whose efforts to promote the
civilization of Africa have commanded their warm sympathy.
Claims of Egypt and Turkey to Equatorial Provinces.
On approaching His Majesty they found him fully disposed
to enter into an arrangement which, while enabling him to con-
tinue the work he had commenced, would record his recognition
of the position of Great Britain in her sphere, and of such
claims as Egypt, and, throngh her, Turkey, may have to the
Equatorial Provinces whose administration was abandoned
owing to the evacuation of the Soudan.
I enclose copy of an Agreement by which His Majesty
having recognized, on behalf of the Congo State, the British
sphere of influence as laid down in the Anglo-German Agree-
ment of 1890 (No. 129), received from Great Britain leases of
the territory specified in the Agreement under certain conditions.
Her Majesty's Government are satisfied that, under the
Agreement, this portion of the British sphere will be adminis-
1014
App. 18] CONQO AND aKEAT BRITAIN. [12 May. 1894.
[Spheres of Influence in East and Central Africa.]
tered in a spirit in full accordance with the requirements of
civilization, and of the Acts of Berlin and Brussels (Nos. 17,
18).
The Agreement also effects certain frontier rectifications
with the Congo Free State, which remove causes of possible
local friction, and adds to the delimitations already concluded
with Italy on the north (Nos. 135, 136) and Germany on the
south (No. 129), delimitation between the British sphere and
the conterminous Power on the west.
Finally, Article 3 provides for the lease to Great Britain of
a port at the northern end of Lake Tanganyika.* As the south-
ern end of the lake is within the British sphere in Central
Africa, this concession will materially facilitate communication
between the two British spheres. In order to secure access to
this port, the lease has been obtained of a road passing through
the Free State territory, connecting Lake Albert Edward, the
eastern shore of which is in the British sphere, with the leased
port. The navigation of Lake Tanganyika being declared to be
free by the Ilnd Article of the Act of Berlin of 1885 (No. 17),
this arrangement secures to British trade uninterrupted com-
munication, the value of which is completed by the guarantees
as to freedom of transit recorded in the IVth Article of the
Berlin Act (No. 17), and the Vlllth Article of the Anglo-
German Agreement of 1890 (No. 129X

App. 26. DECLARATION between Great Britain and
Portugal, agreeing to refer to Arbitration the Boundary in
dispute under Art. II of the Treaty of llth June, 1891.
Signed at London, *lth January, 1895.
(Translation.)
ON the llth June, 1891, a Treaty was signed between Her
Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, Empress of India, and His Most Faithful Majesty
the King of Portugal and the Algarves, which Treaty settled
the question of the boundaries of their Possessions and Spheres
of Influence in Eastern and Central Africa (No. 150).
Art. 2 of this Treaty contains the demarcation of the
boundary to the south of the Zambesi, that is to say, from the
point on the bank of this river opposite the mouth of the
Aroangoa or Loangwa, as far as the point where the boundary
of Swaziland intersects the River Maputo.
Differences having arisen with regard to the meaning of
certain phrases in the said Article, the two Governments have
decided to have recourse to the arbitration of His Excellency
Mr. Paul Honore Vigliani, formerly First President of the
" Cour de Cassation," Senator and Minister of State of the
kingdom of Italy.
They do not, however, propose that the whole of the above-
mentioned line should be submitted to the arbitration.
The boundary to the south of the Zambesi maybe considered
as divided into three sections :
1. From the Zambesi as far as 18 30' S. lat.
2. From 18 30' S. lat. to a point where the Rivers Sabi and
Lande, or Lunte, meet.
3. From this point to the River Maputo.
It is not considered necessary to submit to arbitration the
line defined in Sections 1 and 3 ; the differences only concern
the 2nd section.
The negotiations took place in London. The text of the
Treaty was drawn up in English, and initialled by the Marquis
1037
7 Jan,, 1895.] GREAT BRITAIN AND PORTUGAL. [App. 26
[Boundary. Manica Plateau,]
of Salisbury, then Minister for Foreign Affairs, and by M. de
Soveral, Portuguese Minister. The Treaty having been com-
pared with the copy initialled in London, was signed at Lisbon
by Count Valbom, Portuguese Minister for Foreign Affairs,
and by Sir George Petre, Her Britannic Majesty's Minister at
Lisbon.
That portion of the Article which deals with the second
section of the boundary is drawn up in the following terms :
" From there " (that is to say, from the intersection of the
33rd degree of longitude east of Greenwich and of the parallel
18 30' of S. lat.) " it follows in a southerly direction the upper
portion of the eastern slope of the Manica plateau as far as the
middle of the principal channel oi the River Sabi, and follows
that channel as far as the point where it meets the Lunte.
"It is understood that in tracing the boundary along the
slope of the plateau no portion of territory to the west of the
meridian 32 30 ' of long. E. of Greenwich shall be included in
the Portuguese sphere, nor any portion of territory to the east
of the meridian 33 of long. E. of Greenwich in the British
sphere. Nevertheless, should the case arise, the line shall be
drawn so as to leave Mutassa in the British sphere and Massi-
Kessi in the Portuguese sphere."
The following are the terms, in English and Portuguese :

In the month of June, 1892, the Commissioners of the
two Governments endeavoured to trace the boundary line
according to the above-mentioned stipulations, but a difference
having arisen between them, the settlement was referred
to their Governments. Direct negotiations between the
Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Lisbon and the Foreign
Office have taken place; but all prospect of arriving at an
understanding having appeared impossible, the two Govern-
ments have decided to have recourse to arbitration.
These diplomatic negotiations and the technical labours of
the Commissioners have left the question of demarcation in the
following position :
1. As regards the territory comprised between the parallel
18 30' and a point situated at a distance of a few miles to the
south of the Chimanimani Pass, each Commissioner has pro-
posed a boundary line, and each Government has adopted the
line proposed by his Commissioner ; whence a difference of
opinions has arisen which they have not yet found means of re-
conciling.
2. As regards the territory comprised between a point
^039

[Boundary. Manica Plateau.]
situated at a distance of a few miles to the south of the Chima-
nimani Pass and the parallel 20 42' 17" of S. lat., the British
Commissioner and a Delegate of the Portuguese Commissioner,
as far as he was authorized, have agreed upon a boundary line,
the examination of which by the two Governments has re-
remained unfinished.
3. As regards the territory which extends from the parallel
20 42' VI" of S. lat. as far as the point where the rivers Sabi
and Lunte meet, no project of demarcation has been discussed
between the two Governments.
In these circumstances, the two Governments have agreed
to request the Arbitrator to take into consideration the docu-
ments, the reports of the negotiations, and the results of the
technical labours, to weigh the arguments of the two Govern-
ments based upon their respective opinions, and to decide on
the line which shall separate the Portuguese sphere of influence
from that of Great Britain from the parallel 18 30' to the
point of confluence of the Lunte and Sabi.
In faith of which the undersigned duly authorized by their
respective Governments have signed the present Declaration,
to which they have affixed the Seals of their Arms.

English Version.
THE Special Commissioners nominated by the Governments
of Great Britain and France, in accordance with Article V of
the Agreement of August 10th, 1889 (No. 110), having failed
to trace a line of demarcation between the territories of the
two Powers to the north and east of Sierra Leone, in conformity
with the general provisions of Article IE of the said Agree-
ment, of its Annex I and of its Annex II (Sierra Leone), and
with the indications of the Agreement of June 26th, 1891
(No. 114), the under-signed Plenipotentiaries charged, in execu-
tion of the declarations exchanged at London, on August 5th,
1890 (No. 113), between Her Britannic Majesty's Government
and the Government of the French Republic, to proceed to
delimit the respective spheres of interest of the two countries
south and west of the Middle and Upper Niger, have agreed to
fix the line of demarcation between the above-mentioned terri-
tories on the following conditions :
ART. I. The boundary starts from a point on the Atlantic
coast north-west of the village of Kiragba, where a circle of
500 metres radius, described from the centre of the village, cuts
high-water mark.
From this point it proceeds, in a north-easterly direction,
parallel to the road leading from Kiragba to Robenia (Rou-
bani), which passes by or near the English villages of Fun gala,
Robant, Mengeti, Mandimo, Momotimenia, and Kongobutia, at
an even distance of 500 metres from the centre of the track, as
far as a point half-way between the village of Kongobutia
(English) and the village of Digipali (French). From this
point it turns to the south-east, and, cutting the road at right
angles, reaches a point 500 metres on the south-eastern side,
* Par. Pap. Treaty Series No. 5 (1895). A map defining this boundary
was laid before Parliament with this paper.

and prooeads parallel to the road, at an even distance of -500
metres, measured as before from the centre of the track, till it
reaches a point to the south of the village of Digipali, whence
it is drawn directly to the watershed formed by a ridge which,
commencing south of the destroyed village of Passinodia, dis-
tinctly marks the line of separation between the basin of the
Mellakori (Mellacoree) River and that of the Great Skarcies or
Kolente River.
The frontier follows this watershed line, leaving to Great
Britain the villages of Bogolo (N'Bogoli), Musaliya, Lukoiya
(Malaguia), Mufuri (Mafore), Tarnenai (Tanene), Medina
(Madina), Oblenia, Oboto, Ballimir, Massini, and Gambiadi;
and to France, the villages of Robenia (Roubani), N'Tunga
(N'Tugon), Daragli (Daragone), Kunia, Tombaiya, Here-
makuno (Erimakono), Fransiga (Fonsiga) Talansa, Tanganne
(Tagani), and Maodea, as far as the point nearest to the source
of the Little Mola River ; from this point it follows a straight
line to the above-metioned source, follows the course of the
Little Mola to its junction with the Mola, and then the thalweg
of the Mola to its junction with the Great Skarcies or Kolente.
From this point the frontier follows the right bank of the
Great Skarcies (Kolente) as far as a point situated 500 metres
south of the spot where the road leading from Wulia (Ouelia)
to Wossu (Ouossou), via Lucenia, touches the right bank.
From this point it crosses the river and follows a line drawn to
the south of the above-mentioned road at an even distance of
500 metres, measured from the centre of the track until it meets
a straight line connecting the two points mentioned below,
namely :
1. A point on the Kora, 500 metres above the bend of the
river, which is situated about 2,500 metres north of the village
of Lusenia, or about 5 kilom. up the Kora River, measured along
the bank, from its point of junction with the Great Skarcies
(Kolente).
2. A gap in the north-western face of the chain of hills
lying in the eastern part of Talla, situated about two English
miles (3,200 metres) south of the village of Duyunia (Dom'a).
From this point of intersection it follows the above-meii-

[Boundary North and East of Sierra Leone.]
tioned line eastwards to the centre of the above-mentioned gap,
from whence it is drawn straight to a point on the River Kita,
situated above and at a distance of 1,500 metres, as the crow
flies, from the centre of the village of Lakhata. It then follows
the thalweg of the Kita River as far as the confluence of that
stream with the Lolo.
From this point of junction it coincides with a line drawn
straight to a point on the Little Skarcies or Kaba River, four
English miles (6,400 metres) south of the 10th parallel of north
latitude ; and it then follows the thalweg of the Little Skarcies
as far as the said parallel, which then forms the boundary as
far as its intersection with the watershed (" ligne de partage
des eaux "), separating the basin of the Niger on the one hand,
from the basins of the Little Skarcies and other rivers, falling
westward to the Atlantic Ocean on. the other hand.
Finally the frontier follows the aforesaid watershed south-
eastward, leaving Kalieri to Great Britain and Herimakuna
(Erimakono) to France, until its intersection with the parallel
of latitude passing through Tembi-kunda (Tembikounda), that
is to say, the source of the Tembiko or Niger.
ART. II. The boundary defined in this Agreement is marked
on the map which is annexed hereto.
ART. III. This Agreement is regarded by the two Govern-
ments as completing and interpreting Article II of the Agree-
ment of 10th August, 1889 (No. 110), Annex 1 of the said

It is therefore agreed that in the event of Commissioners or
local Delegates of the two countries being hereafter appointed
to delimit the whole or any portion of the frontier on the
ground, they shall be guided by the description of the frontier
as set forth in the Agreement. They shall at the same time be

DURING the course of the recent discussions relative to the
delimitation of the French and British possessions to the north
and east of Sierra Leone, the Commissioners of the two countries
have been led to examine the situation resulting from the
Arrangement concluded on the 8th December, 1892 (No. 164,
page 783), between the Government of the French Republic and
the Government of the Republic of Liberia, in so far as the eastern
frontier of the British Colony of Sierra Leone is concerned, and
they have agreed upon the following declaration :
" According to the Arrangement concluded on the 8th
December, 1892 (No. 164, page 783), between the Government
of the French Republic and the Government of the Republic of
Liberia, the frontier line between the French possessions and
the Republic of Liberia is fixed by the parallel of Tembi-kunda
until ifc meets, at the 13th degree of longitude west of Paris, the
Anglo-French frontier of Sierra Leone.

" The delimitation of the Anglo-French frontier of Sierra
Leone, therefore, terminates at the parallel of Tembi-kunda.
" At the same time it is necessary to recall that, in virtue of
the Notes exchanged on the 2nd December, 1891, and the 4th
March, 1892, between M. Ribofc and Mr. Egerton, the 13th
degree of longitude west of Paris was in any case to constitute
the limit of the French Soudanese possessions and the British
Colony of Sierra Leone up to the point of the intersection of
that meridian with the Anglo-Liberian frontier.
" It was under such circumstances that tho French Govern-
ment ceded to the Liberian Government certain territories
forming part of the French Soudan, situated to the south of the
parallel of Tembi-kunda, and to the east of the 13th degree of
longitude west of Paris.
" It is accordingly understood, that from the point of inter-
section of the watershed separating the basin of the Niger on
the one hand from the basins of the rivers flowing westwards to
the Atlantic Ocean on the other hand, with the parallel of
latitude passing through Tembi-kunda, the frontier of the
Colony of Sierra Leone is formed by the said parallel as far as
the 13th degree of longitude west of Paris, and then by that
meridian until it meets the Anglo-Liberian frontier."
I have the honour to inform your Excellency that the Go-
vernment of the French Republic is disposed to approve the
terms of this Declaration, and I shall be obliged if you will be
so good as to inform me whether the Government of Her
Britannic Majesty also assent to it.

tries arrived at an understanding as to the principle of the
arrangements intended to regulate the commercial relations
between the British Colony of Sierra Leone and the neigh-

subject of an exchange of notes immediately after the signature

In consequence, I have the honour to inform your Excel-

to give its assent to the following stipulations :
1. In the territories dependent on the Colony of Sierra
Leone, on the one hand, and in those dependent upon the
Colonies of French Guinea (including Fouta Djallon) and of
the French Soudan, on the other hand, the traders and travel-

M. le Ministre, Paris 22nd January, 1895.
DURING the course of the recent negotiations relative to the
delimitation of the British and French territories and posses-
sions situated to the north and east of Sierra Leone, the Com-
missioners named by the two Powers were led to examine the
situation created to the riverain inhabitants of a certain por-
tion of the Great Skarcies by the execution of the Agreement
of the 10th August, 1889 (No. 110).
Although by Article I of the Agreement of the 21st January,
1895, the British frontier follows the right bank of the Great
Skarcies from a point on the right bank, 500 metres south of the
road leading from Wulia to Wossu, via Lusenia, to the point
where that river is joined by the Little Mola, Her Majesty's
Government is, nevertheless, disposed to permit the riverain
inhabitants dwelling on the right bank within the above-men-
tioned limits to continue to use the river to the same extent as
heretofore.
It is, however, understood that the inhabitants of these
villages will be subject to such Laws or Ordinances as may
from time to time be promulgated by the authorities of the
Colony of Sierra Leone with a view to regulating the naviga-
tion of the river or in connection with the control of its waters,
due notice of the same being given by the Governor of Sierra
Leone to the Governor of French Guinea.

" In accordance with what you have heard from the letter
of his Highness Seyyid Hamed-bin-Thwain, your Sultan, and
with what his Wazir has just told you, I announce to you that
from to-day :
Administration of Sultan of Zanzibar's Dominions on the Main-
land by Officers under Control of the British Consul- General at
Zanzibar.
" I take over, in the name of the great Government, the
administration of this country, and of all the countries inland
as far as Kikuyu, and of the whole coast from Wanga to
Kismayu.
Part belonging to Zanzibar to be under Sultan's Sovereignty, but
under British Administration.
" You know that a part of these territories belongs to your
Lord the Seyyid; this part is and remains under his
sovereignty but, I shall be its Administrator and Governor,
according to the Agreement which has been made between
himself and my exalted Government.* And the regions of the
interior will be placed under officers whom I shall appoint in
obedience to the commands of the great Government, of which
you will be informed at a future date.
Mahommedan Law and Religion. Religious Liberty to all.
" And with respect to what the Wazir of the Sultan has
told you about religion, let it be known to you that it will be
protected and respected by the new Administration, and that
all mosques and religious festivals, and Cadis and Ulema will
receive all honour at our hands. The Mahommedan religion
will remain the public and established creed in the Sultan's
territory, and all cases and lawsuits between natives will con-
tinue to be decided according to the ' Sheira,' but although

that there shall be the fullest liberty for all others, and that
all their adherents, whether they be Christians, or Parsees,
or Hindoos, shall freely worship God according to their respec-
tive rites.
Projected Railway.
" "We are resolved to rule these territories in accordance with
justice and equity, and to strive to promote the happiness of
their inhabitants, and I trust that the new Administration,
and especially the railway, which the High Government has
now decided shall be made, will conduce to the welfare and
prosperity of the country.

" Lastly, I confirm the present Administrator at Mombasa,
and all Walis, Cadis. Akidas, and other officers of the former
Company in their present positions pending further orders, and
I enjoin upon you all to continue to obey them."
[The standard of the Sultan, as territorial Sovereign, was
then saluted with 21 guns by Her Majesty's ship " Phoebe," and
at the same moment the Imperial British East Africa Company's
Flag was lowered from the top of the Government building on
which it formerly flew, the Consular Union Jack being hoisted
in its place. This concluded the ceremony of the transfer.]

semi-nomadic Tribes, and for defining their respective Fron-
tiers between the Baraka and the Red Sea. 25th June, 1895.
WITH a view to establishing in a permanent manner the
dependence of the semi-nomadic tribes which exist on the
frontier between the Baraka and the Red Sea, and to deter-
mining precisely the frontier separating the Italian and Egyp-
tian territory in this region,
His Excellency Ferik Sir Herbert Kitchener Pasha, Sirdar
of the Egyptian army ; and
His Excellency Cavaliere Oreste Baratieri, Lieutenant-
General, Governor of the Colony of Eritrea ;
Authorized by their respective Governments, have agreed
to the following Articles :
Boundary I/ine.
ARTICLE 1. In the district between the Red Sea and the
Baraka, the frontier line between Egypt and Eritrea, shall
follow a line which, starting from Ras Kassar, joins the prin-
cipal branch of the Karora, about 2 kiloms. from the coast, and
follows the course of the Karora up to a point marked " Karora "
on the map. The frontier then follows the watershed between
the torrents A'iet and Merib on the north, and the torrents
Falkat and Sela on the south, up to a point on the plateau of
Hagar-Nush, to be fixed by the delineators ; and from the point
BO fixed shall proceed to join the Baraka at a point which is
also left to the delineators to establish, following a clearly
determined natural line. From the Baraka the line of frontier
goes straight to the intersection of the 17th parallel north, with
the 37th meridian east of Greenwich.
Semi-nomadic Tribes on Frontier.

AKT. 3. The two Governments bind themselves to concede
reciprocally, reserving to themselves the power of imposing a
moderate tax in payment, rights of pasturage, and cultivation
in their respective territories to such alien tribes as apply for
the concession through their respective Governments. Such
concession shall be limited only by the requirements of public
safety and by the needs of other local tribes dependent on the
Government giving the concession.
Opposition to Immigration of rebellious Tribes into respective
Territories.
ART. 4. The two Governments bind themselves reciprocally
to oppose, as far as is practicable, the settlement in their
respective territories of tribes who may cross the frontier in
consequence of rebellion or defection of their Chiefs.
Disarmament of Frontier Tribes.
In the interests of public tranquillity, the two Governments
further bind themselves to take into consideration, according to
the circumstances of each case, the expediency of total or
partial disarmament of the tribes on the frontier, due allowance
being made for the requirements of their defence.
Rebellious Tribes on Frontier.
Each of the two Governments, however, reserves to itself
full liberty to decide upon the measures which it shall take in
its own territory, both as regards the means of opposing the

Government recognize as belonging to Portugal territory as far
south as a line following the parallel of the confluence of the
River Pongolo with the River Maputo to the sea coast.
It is agreed that the above line of demarcation shall be
subject to rectification by agreement between the two Powers in
accordance with local requirements.
I shall be glad if your Excellency will be so good as to
inform me whether the Portuguese Government are, on their
part, disposed to give their adhesion to the line in question,
and to agree to the date of the 15th October next for addressing
a simultaneous Notification to the Parties to the Act of Berlin
(No. 17) to the effect that the new frontier has been definitely
