BULUWAYO, Matabeleland. March o.
Captain Clifford, leading rescue force. left
here on Thursday and succeeded in rescuing
thirty-eght whites who had gone into '.laa-
ger'' at Inseza. This was not effected until
after repellng an attack by force of we'll
armed Matabeles and inflicting on them a
heavy loss. The loss suffered by Gifford's
force in the engagement was one killed and
six wounded.
Captain Spreckley. who repulsed a strong
force OF Matabeles on Thursday, inflictng
heavy loss on them, has returned to Bulu-
wayo, bringing with him a large number of
prisoners. He brings the disastrous intelli-
gence that all the whites In the Filibusi dis
trict have been massacred by the natives,
including Messrs. Bentley, Edkins. Barag-
wanth and Carpenter. The corpses OF all
these killed were horribly mutilated and
their faces were burned beyond recognition.
The native police, who are known to have
melted the uprising, have been disarmed,
ard several Matabeles have been arrested.
A family of eight persons has been bru-
tally murdered and two prospectors are miss
ing in the country near here.
The enemy is reported to be massing only
thirty miles distant from here, and the keen
est anxiety Is felt at the outlook, and an at
tack on the town is hourly expected.
Hon. Cecil Rhodes, who was expected to
arrive here by this time. has not yet re-
ported. No anxiety Is experienced for his
safety, though his position, travelling in the
country, Is certain to become an unpleasant
one.
Five thousand pounds of arms and ammuni-
tion have been dispatched from Makefing to
Buluwayo under the escort OF the Bechuana-
land police. There is the keenest anxiety
throughout the Traansvaal as to the fate of
the unprotected Beers and their families in
Matabeleland Many burghers are requesting
the government to grant them permission to
go to the assistance of their threatened coun-
trymen.

FUSION IN TEXAS.
Republicans and Popuiists May Com

bfne and Capture the State.
AUSTIN, Tex, March p. - There is q
movement on foot between the Populists
and Republicans by which they hope TO
capture the State from Democratic rule this
year. The proposition comes from Repub-
licans, according to a certain well-known
Populist leader, who made the proposed
fusion known to a reporter to-day. The
proposition is that the Pcpulists pace Re-
publican presidential electors on their
ticket this year, and in return the Repub-
licans will put ihe Pcpulists' State candi-
dates for State officers on their ticket. BY
thus consolidating their vote the two parties
expect TO defeat tie Democratic party. The
returns of the last election show that such a
move, IL faithfully carried out, would out
eager for the combination, for the reason
that they have no hopes outside the State
for victory and IL they can get control OF
the State government that is all they want
Many OF the Republicans are also in favor
OF the combine, and there is some probable
ity Of its being consummated.

OF late years the dwarf palm so abun-
fant in Africa has been profitably utii-
lied by French artisans, the leaves, ~ Is
stated, furnishing so per cent OF iiber
which is extensively used as cheap
substitute for horsehair, according TO
the following process: The fiber Is ex-
tracted either by hand combing or by
means of drums with needles and knives
worked by steam power. The green fiber
is twisted or curled in its raw state ana
finds several applications. The black
sort is at first dyed in baths of sulphate
of iron and logwood, then twisted ana
again dyed. This fiber, it is alleged,
possesses two advantages over amman
fiber. which have led to its extensive
employment, it being exempt from IN
sect destruction and some 40 per cent
less expensive than horsehair. There
are. it is said, large works in Algeria
where the leaves are bought in large
