Down the Matabeles.

London. April lT.--Alarming reports
reached hero today from Cape Town and
other parts of South Africo regarding tho
situation in Matabeleland. According to
one report over 1900 rebels are massing
for an attack upon Buluawayo. This. It
is believed NY the secretary of state 20
tho colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, is
overdrawn. and the officials OF the Brit
ish chartered South Africa company say
they have no fear for the safety of Bulua
vayo.
In tho house of commons This evening
MIR. chamberlain. replying TO IA quss ton
on the subject, said mat the government
had decided 10 replace the troops With
drawn fl ION Natal and cape Town. Thore-
fore battalion of the line and u body of
mounted infantry would lie sent 10 these
places as soon as possible Th's move
ment, he added, connected with the de-
cision of the government to permanently
increase tho strength of tho garrison of
Cape Colony. O. policy which had been
urged by the military authorities. who
were of tho opinion that the present gar
rison of Cape Town wns INADEQUATE for
the defense Of the dock yard aud conl
depots. This announcement of Mr.
Chnmberlain's was greeted with loud
that the government has finally decided
to send adequate reinforcements to South
Africa.
except In the grentcst emergency tho Inn
perial troops were not suited to the work
of queliinE native Instructions, which,
In the governments opinion. can bc most
promptly dealt with by the locnl forces.
There was. he also said an ample num-
her of men and n sufficient supply of
arms for the purposes In south Africn.
The only difficulty experienced was of
transporting the men and supplies from
one point to another.
Finally Mr.. Chamberlain said TINT tho
government was prepared to authorize
the recruiting of nocess nry colonial troons
for the suppression of the disturbed dis
trcts IN Suth Africa. But tho chartered
company would have to bear the expense.
