BRITISH ATROCITIES.
Sickening Cruelties to the Matabeies at
Fort Victoria.


Fort Victoria.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-An interview with
colonist named Davis, in reference to the
Matabele raid at Fort Victoria, and al
legged atrocities committed by the Brit
ish, WAS recently published In the Pee
tora Press. Davis is we'll known in
Maitland in the Congo Free State. He
went to Mashonaland in January last,
hoping to make fortune in farming and
other pursuits, but becoming disguised
he abandoned his property aud returned
to Pretoria in September. In reference
to the Matabele raid at Fort Victoria,
Davis declared that the yarns about
Msshonas being sssagaied in the streets
were unfounded. The imp, he said,
never entered the town, but DIR. jameson
summoned the Matabele head men, who
were deferential, while DR.. Jameson
himself brusquely gave them an hour in
which to cross the Matabele border, 30
miles distant. Davis thus describes the
pursuit: 1--WE overlook the impi seven
miles from Victoria. They were going at
jog trot. Many were unmounted. DIR.
Jameson Immediately ordered us to fire.
Our men were mad, and shot down the
Matabeles like rats, shooting indiscrim-
inately at the dead, the dying and the
wounded. Twenty-Five of the Matabeles
were killed. Each body contained
enough bullets to kill dozen. The
Matabeles never turned when we opened
fire on them; only one, an old man,
fired return shot, and he was immedi-
ately Drained. Another Matabele was
Drained with gunstsck which was
smashed by the blow. 1t WAS sckening
work, yet on returning to Fort Victoria
We were cheered as though we had won
second Waterloo" Davis added that
the climate of Victoria is unhealthy and
prospectors run great risk of death.
The chartered company's officials in
Cape Town refer to Davis statements ae
the calumnious charges of a disappointed
colonist. Sir Henry Loeb, the governor
and COMMUNICATIVE chief, is investigating
the charges. He is also inquiring into
the recent arrest, at Tati, of the three
leadars of small party of Matabeles,
who had entered the town, one OF the
leaders, Sobengueloe, brother of Color
hugo, who says he was intrusted with a
mission to DR.. Jameson.

ter Against Repeal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a AT half past II
O'Clock today Senator Harris, acting for
the silver democrats, informed the silver
republicans that the democrats had con-
cluded, after taking all the circumstances
into consideration, that they had de-
cided that their best course was to drop
the fight against repeal and allow 1t
to come to vote. If this decision is not
reconsidered and it does not seem at all
probable it will be, the end OF the pies
ent fight will soon be reached and the
result will be in accordance with the
presidents wishes and those OF the re-
peal forces in the senate. Silver repub-
licans will not undertake to prolong the
fight beyond the time necessary to COM
piete their speeches, and will after that
permit voting to begin on amendments to
the bill. 1t is generally believed this
will take place before the end OF the
week.
