The Cause of the Quarrel Between Portugal and Holland
The quarrel stems from Portugal accusing the Dutch Consul at Lorenzo Marques Mynheer Pott of using his office to aid the Boers. Portugal withdrew his exequatur after British representations and Portugal's unfriendly stance shifted to pro British as Roberts neared Pretoria. British passage through Portuguese territory drew protests from the Boers and Gelderland actions heightened tensions between the two nations.
