EXCURSIONS TO PRESCOTT.

Since the inauguration of the new and unexcelled passenger train service on the s. F., P. 6 P. railway, you can go to Prescott on Saturdays, leaving here at S:30 p. m. and return on Mon day at 6:30 a. m. or 4:10 p. m., mount ain time. The fare is only $S:20 for the round trip, on excursion days, which will be every Saturday during the summer. Here is an opportunity for Phoenix business men to send their families to Prescott where they will escape the heat in the valley, then visit them every Sunday.
 Prescott climate during the summer IS delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, which makes the expense of living very small Desirable camping grounds can be found within radius of one mile from Prescott. For fur ther information write or call on B. W. Gillett, acting general agent, Phoe- nix, Ariz.

WAR IN BULUWAYO.
TIRE SITUATION THERE HAS SOME
WHAT unrnovED.
The Rebel Natives, However, Arc
Active and Mean Iiischier-rhe
Authoritier Perpiezed.

Buluwayo, April 20. SO far as the
situation is improved here over that
of yesterday It Is due to the departure
OF the enemy which has been massed
TO the north OF the town for several
days, and from which an attack has
been hourly expected. This movement
brings little comfort to those in Bulu-
wayo. The excited manner in which
the natives quilted their positions in
dlcated confident purpose OF mis-
chief. There Is no evidence that they
were alarmed Friday at the demon
strntion of the patrol of forty-two men
from Buluwayo against their van
guard. Although this vanguard was
driven back upon the main body, the
patrol did not dare to place itself
within reach OF the overwhelming
numbers OF the main body.
The direction taken by those great
bodies OF hostile natives, who are
quitting the position to the north, has
not been learned, But II is feared that
the purpose OF the movement is to try
to effect 1uncture with the rebels in
Matoppo hills and thus sever COM
municatlon southwark. The road runs
through the Mntoppo hills to the south
OF Buluwayo. and IL a difncult and
dangerous one for fifty miles from
here. at which distance the road
reaches the Mangwe Pass. This an
must be held II Is OF such a character
that 4. can wen be made impregnabie
against the attacks OF the native war
riors. But for the same reason, II all
lowed to get into the hands OF the
natives. Il would be extremely difficult
and perhaps impossible to dislodge
them with any force at present avail
able; TO leave this pass to the enemy
would effectually cut on the inter-
course OF Buluwayo with the outside
world To hold the pass and to patrol
the road between II and Buluwnyo,
which are felt to be comparatively
necessary for the safety of this place.
requires large proportion of the
available force. less than 1000 men In
Buluwayo.
The threatened movement OF the
enemy upon the line OF communics-
tons perplcxes the authorities with the
problem OF how far they can further
denude Buluwayo OF It's fighting force
70 guard the road. The lack OF GER
tainty as to the whereabouts and the
Immediate destination OF the great
mass OF natives moving 80 near the
town causes much dread and anx-
lefty.
