HC Deb 09 May 1895 vol 33 cc820-1

In answer to Sir E. ASHMEADBARTLETT,

MR. BUXTON

said: As I stated in my answer to the hon. Member for West Belfast on the 21st of February last, the King of Amatongaland has acknowledged that, as regards that portion of his territory not under Portuguese influence, he obeys the Queen. An officer is proceeding to the country with a view to proclaiming a formal Protectorate.
