FROM MIDDLESBORO, LONDON AND STRAITS.
In the spring of 1905, the letter says, a brisk slave, trade was conducted by certain chiefs, and particularly by an Arab named Sefu; with the co-operation of other chiefs on the right shore of the lake, in the vicibly of Mplows This chief was in close and constant relationship with the localHE administration, which received from him "food and other things," and his operations were carried on with its full cognisance. The local administrator had prevented a local magistrate from interfering; the Imperial authorities of German East Africa were "scandalised" by the state of affairs, and were doing their best to prevent convoys of tlave from crossing Ger- man territory.
