§ SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, 428 Whether he can now state the boundaries or extent of the "Amandabele country with its dependencies" (mentioned in the Treaty of Friendship of 11th February of this year), of which the permanent Chief, Lobengula, undertakes not to alienate any portion without the previous sanction of Her Majesty's High Commissioner for South Africa; and, whether he can state whether that territory is bounded on the north by the Zambesi River?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)Her Majesty's Government are not at present in a position to state precisely the boundaries and extent of the territory over which Lobengula claims to have authority. It is, however, understood that this territory is bounded, in part at all events, to the northward by the Zambesi.
