Framed Print of Major Serpa Pinto, Portuguese commander on the Zambesi, 1890. Creator: Unknown
Major Serpa Pinto, Portuguese commander on the Zambesi, 1890. The Dispute with Portugal...we received the startling news that a Portuguese officer, Major Serpa Pinto, hitherto known as a peaceful traveller in the regions of the Upper Zambesi, has appeared at the head of a small military force on the banks of the Shiré...and has been fighting with the Makololo, a native race friendly to the English and Scottish stations on the route to Lake Nyassa. It is also stated that Major Serpa Pinto has taken away the British flags planted by our Consul at the confluence of the Ruo with the Shiré, a point commanding the road to Blantyre, the headquarters of the Scottish Mission, and that the freedom and security of communications with Lake Nyassa would be seriously compromised by tolerating these hostile acts in a country to which Portugal has no title of sovereignty or former occupation...In the interests of commerce and civilisation, for the discouragement of the slave trade, and for the work of religious missions, these settlements are of the greatest value. The conduct of the Portuguese colonial administration has...not been favourable to those interests within the admitted range of its dominion and influence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
