BARON H. DE WORMS (Liverpool, East Toxteth)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the fact that the Swaziland Convention of 1890 expires on the 8th of August, he will now state whether a new Convention has been entered into between Her Majesty's Government and the President of the Transvaal Republic, give the terms of such Convention, and present Papers on the subject?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarI am sorry that I am still unprepared to make a statement on this subject. Her Majesty's Government are expecting daily a further communication from the Government of the South African Republic. Meantime, the Convention of 1890 has been extended for three months pending a settlement.
