THE King, whose only clothing consisted

brutal, sensual and cruel expression as he
has. However, he received us very well,
and after our royal letter had been read and

use until recently, the assegaai as a weapon
of defense. 1t is made of iron, sometimes
with straight and sometimes with barbed
point, SO that it cannot be drawn out of

poison the tips of their assegaais with an

best boys and asked the others where the

Later when the matter was mentioned to
the King, he said that the boy was too
smart and was learning the ways of the
white man too rapidly. This is but one of
the many instances which could be given of
What occurs almost daily in Matabeleland.
AWFUL DEATH OF BOY.
Another case which illustrates the cruelty
OF the King was reported to me by a mis-
slonary who lived some years in Matabele-
lanu. The Matabeles have great hatred
for the Mashonas, but some months ago
there was Mashona boy, one of Loben-
gula's slaves, at the Kings capital. who
wss especially disliked by some of the
Matabeles, so in order to get rid of him they
took the usual means OF prelerring some
charge against him. They went to the King
and told him that the Mashona boy drank
some of his beer. Anyone who touches the
Kings beer without his permission is killed.

they can obtain things which they use, and
missionaries, so they can have medicine.
Lobengula allows traders and missionaries
to settle in his country, but no one is per-
mitted 20 accept Christianity. Death is the
penalty for SO doing. Missionaries have
been at work for perhaps 30 years in Matabele-
land, but they have done absolutely nothing

country. was told by a man who has just
spent 10 months at Lobengula's "Court" as
interpreter for the British South African Com
pany, that upon several occasions when he
sat bv the side. of the King a number of
warriors danced around him, brandishing
their assegaais and begging the King allow
them to kill him. The King always re-
fused saying: "No, he is our friend" and
would sometimes add, 'tI see you wish to
kill white men, will let you kill white
men, but you must go and kill them where
tell you. Go to Kimberley and kill as
manv as you like.
The King said this simply to appease the
warriors for the time being, knowing we'll
