CAPE Town, Nov. "A special to the
| Associated Press, through Reuters Tele-
graph Company, reports King Looengula
flying north. When last reported by ma
tive runners he was trying to rally his
troops in the vicinity of Shangale River
and the Kwelo, about 100 miles from Bull
uwayo, and 40 miles west of Fort Carter.
He seems, from the dispatches, to have
fallen into a complete trap. His further
flight north toward the Zambesi River is
blocked, while the Tsetse fly country is
in his rear and Fort Salisbury OH his
right flank. while on his right the Brit
ish columns are advancing. 1t is eX-
pected he will be compelled to surrender
in few days. During the march toward
the kwelo River the British saw numer-
Gus bodies of Mataheles, but they always
retreated.
On the night of October 10th Major
| Forbes sent body of scouts i'll the dlrec-
ton of the headquarters of the strongest
Matabele regiment. They found the enc
my's troops in large force, apparently
prepared to make a desperate resistance.
When informed of this Major Forbes
seut forward a force Of 100 troopers. Sup
ported by two rapid-firing guns, they felt
lI6IT way CdI0luIlJ 10 NIIulu ~ SuOII us
tance OF the kraal, placed their guns in q
commanding position and then charged.
TO the astonshment of the troopers,
they found not a single soul in the kraal
and the Matabeles in full flight in the dis
tance.
On October 23d small body of British
under Captain White were guarding a lot
of prisoners and were attacked by the
MatabeleS, The latter were repulsed
after sharp engagement, in which sew
eral were killed. The British lost NUM-
ber, including Captain Gudett.
After the British columns crossed the
Shangale River they were constantly
surrounded by the Matabeles, who feared,
however, to attack.
On October 3lst the Matabeles, 5000
strong, made a furious attack on the Brit i,
ish from several sides at once. They
showed admirable discipline and the
greatest bravery. The British reserved
their fire until the Matabeles were at
close range, then opened on them with
Martini rifles aud the Maxim rapid-tire
guns. The Matabeles cs ne on deperately
for time, but could not withstand the
fearful slaughter, and finally broke and
fed, leaving 800 killed and wounded on
the field, carrying with them hundreds OF
other wounded. beside those able to stag
ger away i'll the retreat, many of whom
have since died.
The BRUSH loss was only Two killed.
and six wounded. From there to Bulu-
mayo the British found their way unob-
structed, the Matabeles evidently being
too disheartened to attempt further re-
Sistance.
