South African War Briefs and Berlin Denials
A December dispatch reports Boer and British actions around Ladysmith, with nine Boers killed and six wagons captured in Natal. Berlin denies a secret Anglo German Portuguese treaty over Africa, calling the claim fiction, while British and German positions on Delagoa Bay and Portuguese Africa are debated. German press voices calls for Boer independence or separation from Britain, and US consul Macrum’s Pretoria assignment grows in importance. Financial notices record bankruptcies, a Greencastle sawmill fire, and local ads note fish oil products.
