Between Northern Nigeria and the Kamer uns the boundary has been fixed, whils that between Southern Nigeria, nod iba Kameruns has been roughly agreed on as a straight line. The object of the Joint Commission was, to make such adjustments of this line, as local geographical features or the distribution of tribes might suggest,

'COUNTRY PRACTICALLY UNENOWN... Two-thirds of this time had been adjusted without any 'sign of trouble arising, but the country is practically uokaowo to Europenes south and west of Jola. The party bad ap parently got over about 99 miles of the last | stage of thair work, and wern about midway in | what proved to be an inhospitable tract, when

they were attacked."

* The fighting took place during Christmas week, and the casualties all told were five kiled and 19 wounded. The tribesmen have been repulled and have retired to the hills, while tha delimitation party has been minforced.

Col. Whitlock felt England last summer to carry out, in conjunction with the German Commission, a second year's delimitation work on the boundary between Nigeria and'the -Kameruns, adds Reuter: Proceeding via the Niger and the Bense, the British Commis aioners met their. German colleagues near Takun, at which 'point the new season's work ̈was 10 begin,

In a letter received by Reuter dated from that place on 19 Nov. Col. Whitlock said that the Commissioners wore hard at work, but they had been much hampered owing to heavy floods. The telegram now to bạnd shows that the Commissioners have progressed with their work (for Sonkwalls, whence the telegram was dispatched, is so milos further along the boundary).

No anxiety is felt regarding the position of the Commissioner, as the force with them is quite sufficient to secure their safety, and in (38 any case troopa can easily be hurried up from the South if Col. Whitlock informs 'the'Lieu. tenant-Goveroor of Southern Nigeria that this. is necessary.
