§ MR. T. W. LEGH (Lancashire, S.W., Newton)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any reparation has yet been offered by the French Government for the death of the British officers killed in the fight near Waima, in December, 1893?
§ *SIR E. GREYThe answer is in the negative; it was decided to make this question part of a general settlement on which no agreement has yet been, come to. The geographical position of Waima is still undetermined.
§ In answer to MR. TOMLINSON—
§ *SIR E. GREYsaid, it is quite certain that it is close to the boundary, but that boundary has never been traced, and it would be impossible to determine the position of Waima without a survey over a vast tract.
MR. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith)Is it possible to send a Commission to determine the frontier between this country and France in Sierra Leone, and have any preparations been made for such a Commission?
§ *SIR E. GREYNo, Sir, no preparations have been made.
