BOER FARMERS
TREATMENT BY PORTUGUESE POSITION J NTOLERARLE. CAPE TOWN, February 24. Four hundred Boer families, numbering 3.000, who trekked from the Transvaal to Angola, arc, in consequence of an alleged breach of faith on the part of the Portuguese relating to titles of farms, the education of children, and language, threatening to return to the Union. Three delegates concluded an interview with the Administrator of the South-west and the Union Secretary for Lands, at which they described the position of settlement as intolerable. They acted as a. buffer between marauding natives and the Portuguese, and were given no rights. The Administrator offered land to foil families, but the Union must hear all expenses. Cabinet is considering the matter.
