No system of mechanical transport has actually been introduced in the Bechuanaland Protectorate, nor do I think that, owing to the conditions of the country, any system is likely to be introduced in the near future, and I am unable, therefore, to give the information referred to in the 3rd paragraph of Lord Crewe's despatch.
