The New Governor of Mac

The people of the ' Holy City" are all agog with expectation of their new Governor, Senhor Horta e Costa, who is due here to-day in the Portuguese transport Cazengo from Lisbon. The Portuguese cruiser Adamastor is also due, and the new Governor will probably proceed hence in the latter. Macio is already en fete with triumphal arches, thys, and banners, and the Macacnse are eager to greet their new ruler. The troops coming in the Cazengo are also awaited with anxiety, as the unprotected condition of the colony is known only too well.
