MY LORD,
Resident Commissioner's Office, Mafeking,
May 25, 1907.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 106, of the 21st instant, relative to suggested co-operation between the Protectorate Police and Cape Mounted Police with a view to the prevention of the destruction of big game and of smuggling in the Cape Districts of Gordonia, Kuruman, and Vryburg adjoining the Protectorate.
2. As Your Excellency is aware, the police force of the Protectorate is not sufficiently large to enable men to be stationed in many places where, if circum- stances permitted, I should like to form posts, and I am afraid that with the means at our disposal we cannot offer any co-operation with the Cape Police which would be of any material value to the latter.
3. The officer stationed at Lehututu, who moves about in the district as much as its waterless character permits, has been instructed to make special efforts to discover any destruction of big game which may occur, and to trace any illicit trad- ing or smuggling.
4.
With reference to the question of Major Halse, Cape Mounted Police, as to whether restrictions exist in the Protectorate in regard to the destruction of large game, I enclose three copies of the Proclamation on the subject.
His Excellency
The High Commissioner,
Johannesburg.
I have, &c.,

Resident Commissioner.

SIR,
High Commissioner's Office, Johannesburg,
June 1, 1907.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 180, of May 14th, enclosing, for my consideration, a copy of a Minute from your Ministers in which they suggest an arrangement by which the Bechuanaland Protectorate Police might co-operate with the Cape Mounted Police in preventing the destruction of royal game and smuggling in the districts adjoining the Protectorate.
2. I have been in communication with the Resident Commissioner on the matter, and I enclose a copy of a despatch which I have received from him. The establishment of a police station involved some additional expenditure, and I regret that,

SIR,
[Answered by No. 177.]
Downing Street, June 27, 1907.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 212, of the 30th of May,* reporting an outbreak of swine fever in the East Africa Protectorate.
2. The matter has been referred to the Board of Agriculture, who advise that the pig establishments in the Protectorate should be carefully inspected and that if it is found that only one or two are affected they should be dealt with by slaughtering out.
3. If, however, the disease is found to be general it will only be possible to apply the ordinary restrictions and to await the results of further investigations. The Board are conducting investigations of this nature at present and they will communicate any information which may be of interest.
