CAPE Town, April 21.-Oapsain Ma
pier with force Of about 200 men left
Buluwayo this morning, according 10 q
dispatch received here from that place,
on accommodating expedition. The
Matabeles. 1t WAS then believed, had
moved southwark. away from the posi-
tions they had occupied, intending to
intercept the relief corps advancing
from Matching.
But the scouting party WAS surprised
to lind the Matsbeles in great force
about five miles northeast of Buluwayo.
Napier's command WAS fired upon, re-
turned the enemy's fire and then re-
treated In good order, 1t being useless
for such small body of troopers to en-
gage several thousand Matabele warriors
apparently we'll supplied with firearms.
The situation grows darker ev cry day,
In spite of the very effective means
taken to defend Buluwayo. Fnlly 200
persons have been killed by the Mata-
beles since the uprising began and men
OF experience in South African warfare
claim to see In the tactics of the natives
the guiding hand of the leaders of the
Transvaal burghers. They insist that
the Beers are srming for struggle with
the British for the mastery in South
Africa and that they are actively en-
oouraged and assisted by Germany.
The Beers have mustered about 1 500
men and several guns, according to re-
pert, ut @ CONVEX lent distance from
Msfeking, and it Is believed that they
are more than willing to make common
cause with she Matsbeles and strike q
blow at British supremacy.
Indeed. everything Is in q volcanic
state In South Africa at present, and no
person here can correctly foretell what
the result will be. A good deal depends
on Berlin.

seven hours.

time. Mr.. Gregory was closely exam

his evidence, which was damaging to
the prisoner,in clear and concise man
ner and wss never shaken in any par
ticular.
Mr.. Gregory was followed by Mr..
Austin Clements, formerly constable of
Lunenburg. who corroborated his teati-
mony In many respects, and added
several links to the chain of evidence.
Mrs. Austin Clements, who WAS the
next witness, was placed on the stand
for the purpose of corroborating Der
husbands testimony, which she did, and
created something of q sensation by de-
claring that the prisoner had said to
her soon after her arrest that "she
would like to know Il the case would be
dropped and she allowed to 20 free II
