London, April 10 Two reports
reached here to-day from South At
RIGA. One was that the Matabeles
were maSsing IL attack Buluwayo and
the other was that they had captured
that city. Neither report has been
confirmed
In the house of commons this after
noon Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to a
question on the subject, said that the
government had decided to replace the
troops withdrawn from Natal and
Cape Town. Therefore a battalion of
the line and a body of mounted in
fantry would be dispatched to these
places as soon as possible. This move
ment. he added, was connected with
the decision of the government to per-
manently increase the strength of the
garrison of Cape Colony step which
had been urged by the military au-
thorities, who were of the opinion that
the present garrison of Cape Town was
inadequate for the defense of the dock
yard and coal depots.
This announcement of Mr.. Chamber
lain was greeted with loud cheers, and
was looked upon as meaning that the
government had finally decided to send
adequate reinforcements to South At
RIGA.

To Drive out the British.

ASSOcIlIcU GIcSS.)
Cape Town. April 19.-The difficulty
in obtaining news of the Matabele up
rising increases day by day, owing to
the restrictions of the authorities, but
it is positively known that the situa-
ton about Buluwayo has grown dark
er. and that the rebellion is so wide
spread that large force of troops will
be necessary to restore order. The
policy of President Kruger is one of
delay to avoid doing or saying any
thing definite until the TranSvaal is in
a position to defy Great Britain, and
then the independence of the South
African republic will be declared and
the Orange Free State may be actually
INCORPORATED into the republic. The
natives will everywhere be melted to
rise against British rule, and an at
tempt will be made to drive the Brit
ish out of South Africa.
This is the plan openly talked Of, and
chuckled over among the Beers, but
the home authorities seem to be utter
ly blind to the danger ahead, and the
Chartered company in the interest OF
it's stockholders is doing everything
possible to suppress the truth, and the
belief is growing that nothing short of
a terrible disaster such as the capture
of Buluwayo, will bring the British
government to it's senses.
Not Yet Taken.
Buluwayo April ia feeling of ap-
prehension as to what the next step of
the revolving Matabeles will be perlne-
ates all circles here. There are fears
of ireachery, and to this is added the
apprehension of overwhelming num-
bers. Many Indications point to
connivance with the war parties of
supposed friendly natives. There are
many of the latter in the town itself
and no white man feels sure how far
he can trust his dusky associates or
servants. On Wednesday evening
three Dutch scouts were sent out from
here to secure some definite and ac-
curate information of the position and
movements of the natives. They find
the natives maSsing six miles from
here and an attack is expected at any
moment. All the whites would I'M
doubtedly be maSsacred.

A Crack Shot.

"Out our way we are apt to think
that an Eastern man cannot shoot a
pistol" said I'll. T. Jenkinson, of
Cheyenne, at the Metropolitan, but
l had one experience at Laramie that
concinced me this idea is incorrect.
A finely dressed young man stepped
into saloon to get drink. where n
lot of cowboys were having good
time. The sight of the 'tenderfoot'
was the signal fer some fun, and half
a-dozen pistols were drawn Just to
scare the man from the States. The
stranger wore silk hat, and the cry
went up, shoot the tlle.' The man
turned with his glass at his lips and
without n tremor drew pistol from
his coat pocket. By the time the
drink was swallowed six pistols lay on
the floor; he had shot every one of
them out of their owners hands. They
crowded around him, and the tender
foot was not allowed to pay for any,
thing that night. "-Washington Star.
