Germany's Colonial War
Hindered by Parliament. (By Electric Telegraph —Copyright). (Per Press Association.) Received May 29, atS.27 a.m. BERLIN, May 28. Amid shouts of" German Boulanger," and "Buffalo Bill," Colonel Diemling, who is General von Trotha's successor as Acting Government Commissary in South-West Africa, during a debate, excited the fury of the House by trying to dragoon the Reichstag into voting moneys for continuing the war in the colonies. He • added : "So long as I have the honour to command, the southern districts will not be abandoned, unless the Kaiser orders it. He alone has decided and no one else." The Radicals of the centre denounced General Diemling's unseemly language. The Reichstag insists on the concentration of colonisation to a few points in Souiih-West Africa, evacuating the districts adjoining Cape Colony, which would release five thousand troops.
