CAPE TOWN, April 21.-Captain Napier,
with a force of about 300 men, left Bulu-
wayo yesterday morning, according TO a
dispatch received here from that place on
a reconncitering expedition. The Mata-
beles. 1t was then believed, had moved
southwark, away from the positions they
had occupied, intending to intercept the
relief corps advancing from Mafeking But
the scouting party was surprised to find
the Matabeles in great force about five
miles northeast of Buluwayo Napier's
command was fired upon. returned the
eremy's fire, and then retreated in good
order, 1t being useless for such a small body
of troopers to engage several thousand
Matabele warriors, apparently well supplied
with firearms

Inspired to Activity.

The threatening aspect of the English
speaking world few months ago caused
by the controversy over the Venezuelan
boundaryinspired ed active interest on the part
Of the advocates of arbitration throughout
the world, snd particularly awakened
those resident in the United States. Men
of eminent position in every part of the
country expressed their opinions in behalf
of the settlement of such questions in a
peaceful and equitable manner, and or
ganiZations of arbitration societies were
commenced in many of the cities. The re-
suit was that large and enthusiastic meet
ings in favor Of arbitration were held on
Washington's birthday in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago, and afterward other cities
fell into line in the same behalf St. Louis
held a large meeting, and committee was
formed in this city by the efforts of Mr.
Gardiner G. Hubbard and other well-known
citizens, all with the same applaudable OBJ
ject in view. Jurisprudence was opened
between the various organiZa tions, with
the result that 1t was decided to hold an
arbitration conference at the national cap
ital, at which the representative men of
the different states could meet and give
their views and formulate plans for a per-
manent system Of arbitration between the
United States and foreign powers Rev.

struck in many instances by the insignifi-
canoe of the events that resulted in such
appalling effects, and the question has re-
CURED again and again, is there not some
way of preventing peoples from flying at
each others tbroats where no real provo
cation exists. The men who will meet at
Metzerotts tomorrow are the champions of
peace in the highest sense of the word.
They believe that the intelligence of the
world has advanced to such an extent that
1t will be quick to recognize what beneficial
results would ensue from the adoption of
system by which disputes between ma
tons, like those between individuals, will
be settled according to the rules of equity
and justice rather than by a recourse to
the arguments of battle.

Gloom at Buluyyayo.

The return of Napier's party, under the
circumstances. cast quite a gloom over
Buluwayo, as it was believed that the ex-
tersive works of defense, laagers, FORTS dy-
Mantle mines, etc. around Buluwayo had
convinced the Matabeles that the place was
impregnable, and that. in consequence, they
had shifted camp southwark. 1t now ap-
pears that while it is true that several
thousand Matabeles have struck camp.
there are enough of them remaining in the
vicinity of Buluwayo to cause the utmost
uneaslness. 1t is true that the eighteen
wagons, loaded with provisions. have sue
ceeded in entering the town, but there are
many mouths to feed there, and the relief
corps is still long way off, moving slowly.
on account of the scarcity of water and the
ravages of the rinderpest among the cattle.
In fact 1t Is feared that month more
may elapse before the Mafeking relief corps
can reach Buluwayo, and a great deal ma v
happen in that time.

Hurryfng Forward SuupIies

The officials OF the British Chartered
Company are doing everything possible un-
Ger the circumste noes; they are paving
large bonuses to transport riders and voIun-
teers, and are hurrying forward supplies
as fast as possible, but here again the
deadly rinderpest is interfering with the
work of relief.
The situation grows darker every day. in
spite of the very effective means taken to
defenu Buluwayo. Fully 200 persons have
peen Killed by the Matabeles since the up-
rising began, and men Of experience in
South African warfare claim to see in the
tactics of the natives the guiding hands of
the leaders of the Transvaal buryhers.
They insist thai the Beers are arming for
strl ggle with the British for the mastery
IN South Africa, and that they are actively
encouraged and assisted by Germany.
