G 142 2O persönlich und dann durch Stanley mit dem ihm nahestehenden Vorsitzenden der Imperial British East Africa Company, Sir William Mackinnon. Man einigte sich in dem Wunsche, zto come to an understanding regarding the delimitation of certain parts of their respective spheres of action in Africa auf folgende Abmachungen (vgl. Karte Nr. 1): „The Independent Congo State and the Imp. British East Africa Co. agree not to take any Political action, the former to the Eastward, the latter to the Westward of a line drawn 3 miles from the shore along the whole western shore of lake Albert up to the mouth of the Semliki River, thence following the course of this River to its exit out of the lake Albert Edward, thence the whole of the western and southern shore line of that lake to the centre of the scuthern shore of the said lake, the islands and the waters between the said shore line and the meridian of the centre of the lake to be included within the limits of the Indep. Congo State, and thence from the centre of the southern shore of lake Albert Edward a straight line to the north corner of lake Tan- ganyika and the present frontier of the Indep. Congo State. It is also hereby understood by the under- signed, that in consideration of tlhe Imperial British East Africu Company agreeing not to take any political action on the left bank of the Nile between Kavalli's territory on the left bank of the mouth of the Semliki River at the south west end of the Albert Nyanza, as far as Lado, and the recognition by the afore- said Imperial British East Africa Company of the sovereign rights of the Indep. Congo State Over those territories, the Indep. Congo State recognizes on its part the sovereign rights of the Imper. British East Africa Company, from a line drawn from the centre of the southern shore of lake Albert Edward straight to the north corner of lake Tanganyika — or, if con- venient to the Indep. Congo State, a few miles westerly and about parallel with the frontier line of the State, and in that case so arranged as not to impede the absolute control of the State over this portion of its territory, which may lie East of this line — over a territor) which shall be on an average live miles in breadth and inclusive of the district of Uzige of ten square miles at the northern end of lake Tanganyika. The present agreement being entered upon by Sir William Mackinnon on behalf of the Imperial British East Africa Company, after it had been ascertained that the British Government have no objection to it, and NMr. Henry Morton Stanley on behalf of the Independent Congo State, and accordingly signed by them, after exchange of their respeec- tive full powers, and subject the ratification of the Independent Congo State and of the Board of Directors of the said Company within a delay of ten days. In witness whereof the parties have hereinto set their hands this 24th day of may 1890. H. M. Stanley. W. Mackinnon. Vor der Unterzeichnung dieses Abkommens hatte der König den Entwurf desselben dem Marquis of Salisbury, Premier-Minister und Minister der Auswärtigen Angelegenheiten, zur Prüfung und Einverständniserklärung vorgelegt. Daraupfhin hatte er folgende Antwort erhalten: May 21, 1890. Sire " I have the honour to return the papers with which Vour Majesty was pleased to in- trust me. Ihave satisficel myself that no objections will be raised on the part of the Foreign Office to the engagements which have been entered into br Vour Majesty as Head of the Congo State, and Sir William Mackinnon’s Company. I have the honour to be Vour NMajesty's obedient servant Salisbury. H. M. the King of the Belgians. Auf diese Außerung hin hatte der Court ok Directors der Kompagnie das Abkommen am 24. Mai ebenfalls genehmigt. Am 9. Juni sah sich Salisbury jedoch veran- laßt, dem König mitzuteilen, daß nach näherer Prüfung der Einzelheiten des Abkommens und besonders mit Rücksicht auf die von seiten der Kongoregierung mit Frankreich im Jahre 1884 stattgehabten Verhandlungen (betreffend das Vor- kaufsrecht) I remain fully of the opinion which I have already expressed, that there is nothing to which the British Foreign Office is entitled to objectc. Aber er müsse vom Standpunkt einer Regierung, die ein freundliches Interesse am Kongostaat habe, doch sagen, daß, wenn aus dem Vertrag nicht mit aller Deutlichkeit hervorgehe, daß die Abtretung von Souveränitätsrechten an die Kompagnie über gewisse Gebiete nicht eine Abtretung von Landgebiet überhaupt bedeuten solle, die Abmachung Frankreich zu unerwünschten Einspcüchen auf Grund des Abkommens von 1884
