"REFERRING to an article recently published by a London morning paper upon the Herman territorial acquisitions on the East Coast of Africa, opposite to the island of Zanzibar, the
semi-official North German Gazette declares that Germany has no designs against the independence of the Sultan of Zanzibar. "The Imperial Government," continues the journal, "sent a representative to Zanzibar six months ago in order to confirm and extend the existing relations with the Sultan by concluding with him a treaty of friendship, commerce, and of navigation. Besides sthis another mission arose for the German representative from the decisions of the Berlin Conference, namely, to endeavour, in concert with the representatives of the other Powers who took part in the Conference, to obtain facilities from the Sultan for trade between the island and the Continent through coast territory, which is under the Sultan's rale. It was far from the intention of the Imperial Government to obtain from the Sultan by force the conclusion of a commercial treaty. The Sultan, however, has, on his side, laid claim to territory that has been acquired by the German East African Company, and has even
ordered his troops to enter the territory in question. Moreover, the Sultan of Zanzibar is taking measures against the Sultan Vitu, who since 1867 has been on friendly relations with Germany." "It is to be hoped," concludes the journal, "that British influence in Zanzibar will be used to induce the Sultan to desist from the course of provocation which he is pursuing."
