§ MR. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the two British Mission Stations within the German sphere of influence in Africa; and whether, in the final delimitation of the boundary between the British and German spheres between Lakes Nyassa and Tanganyika, he will endeavour by friendly arrangement with the German 1049 Government to have included within the British boundary the Nyassa Mission Sanatorium at Kararamuka?
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir J. FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.The two stations referred to are the Free Church Station of Ukukwe, to the west of the Song we River, and the sanatorium mentioned, which is in the Livingstone Mountains, on the north-east of Lake Nyassa. The final delimination is nothing more than a rectification in accordance with local requirements, and could not be made to include a transfer of the sanatorium to the British sphere; but its position in the German sphere will not in any way interfere with its usefulness. Some of us hope to visit German sanatoria shortly, and I do not think that we shall benefit by them the less on account of their not being under the British flag.
