Manawatu Herald. TUESDAY, NOV. 25, 1902. Somaliland.

All the trouble that is going on in Somaliland arises from a Protectorate having been declared over it in 1884 by Great Britain. The country is now subject to 4bysinia except where reserved by Great Britain and Italy, The Protectorate contains some 90,000 square miles, and the population, consisting of a Mahomedan tribe called Somalis, have not yet been estimated. Great Britain has another Protectorate in East Africa, so that the probabilities are that some trouble will be always arising on the “ .Dark Continent.”

The dredge working alang the edge of the wharf scoops up metal, upon which the Mayor cast longing eyes and made a bid to the Railway Department for it.
