Africa.
—
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 11th December, 1902.
THE following telegram, dated London, 1st December
instant, received from the Secretary of State for the
Colonies, is published for general information.

Colonial Secretary.

TELEGRAM.
On representation of Lord Milner, it has been decided,
after 1st December, no permits to Transvaal or Orange
River Colony will be issued except at South African ports.
Persons wishing to proceed to those colonies should there-
fore apply for permits to Permit Office at port where they
propose to land.
Such permits may be refused, and, in order to avoid
disappointment or delay, it is suggested that persons about
to go to those colonies should ascertain, before sailing for
South Africa, from Permit Office at port of landing whether
permits will be granted.
Under Peace Preservation Ordinance now in force in
Transvaal and Orange River Colony persons entering with-
out permits may be ordered to leave, and, if order is not
obeyed within a certain time, are liable to fine and im-
prisonment.
Should be glad if your Ministers would give instructions
accordingly to Permit Officers in New Zealand, whose ser-
vices will be no longer required, and also publish notice to
above effect.
