fortified by the natives holding them,
so that, should Busuwayo be relieved
and the British be able to resume the
offensive, the natives will have
stronghold to fall back upon and there
make long stand against the Chart
cred Company's forces. If this report
is correct, and there seems to be no
reason to doubt it, the British will not
see the end of the Matabele war for
many months to come, and much blood
may be shed on both sides before order
is fully restored. But the Matabeles
may be able to hold out or harass the
British until the great struggle, which
cannot be long delayed, commences in
South Africa, and nobody can predict
what the eventual outcome will be.
The Beers dream of q United States
of South Africa, and they are bold
enough to say that the realization of
this dream is among the possibilities
of the near future. In any case the
arming in the Transvaal and also to
some extent III the Orange Free State,
is going surely but steadily on, and the
slow out sure policy of President
Kruger, said to be dictated from Berlin,
is being pushed relentlessly night and
day.
Another dispatch from Buluwayo
says that a coach laden with arms and
ammunition has reached Buluwayo
from this city.
Earl Grey, one of the administrators
of the territory of the British Char
tered company is expected to arrive
at Buluwayo during the day with
strong escort of troopers. 1t is now
announced that >Sekombi, one of Lo-
bengula's leading chiefs, was among
the killed during the fight about the
Ambuza river which followed the Sec

ment was made by his counsel, Will

lawyer explained that he revealed the
secret because he felt it to be his duty
to science and the law. Mr.. Lawton
then began the recital of story on
which, he said, he based his belief that
Feigenbaum had been guilty Of per-
haps a dozen butcheries. lone night

he said, "and he told me that for years
he had been the

which forced him in spite Of himself to
murder and mutilate women. I was
so startled that for the moment I did
not know what to do. Then the Jack

and began to search Fiegenbaum' g
record. Learned that he was in Wis

startled by the news of the murder and
mutiliation of several women there
Then I communicated with London
and discovered that Fiegenbaum was
also there when SO many women fell
victims to the knife Of some mysterious
assassin. I questioned Fiegenbaum
closely and found that he could con.

anything about these subjects he would

PIERRE, S. D., April 29.-Attorney
General Crawford has been notified
that in the case against the Taylor

at Lafayette has held that the bond is
only good to the amount Of $3.50, 900, az
required by statute, and is void and un.
collectable as the additional 500, 200

The Cape Town Correspondent Bound
TO Have Buluwayo Captured.
CAPE Town, April 29.-The dis
patches which faltered through from
Buluwayo increased the feeling of anx-
iety felt here regarding the fate of the
besieged town. According to latest
advices, the circle of fierce warriors
behind the mound Notifications had
again been drawn closer to Buluwayo,
and at the same time extended. The
Matabeles, when this news was sent
out from the endangered town, had
been further reinforced, and another
large body Of men were leaving the
Matopo hills, expecting to effect q
junction with the other bodies of hos
tile natives, and completely surround
south of the fortified pass, which is the
key to the situation in that direction.
In addition. another strong force Of
hostiles has gone in the direction of the
route being followed by the relief corps
of about 800 men and nine machine
guns, advancing from Mafeking. Con.
sequently it is believed that there is
severe work cut out for this force, the
advance guard of which, it was hoped,
would reach Mangwa about May Z.
The tactics of the Matabeles are
really admirable. When the uprising
commenced, only few hundred hos.
tiles were reported to be in the field,
and it was announced that the native
police would soon reduce them to sub.
lection, but the police deserted with all
the ammunition they could lay hands
on. The impis gathered with wonder
full rapidity in the Matopo hills, which
are evidently their rallying point and
base Of operations, and then the invest.
ment Of Buluwayo commenced.

and circled about Buluwayo. seemingly

slowly, but surely, the number of ma

the half circle of hostiles has increased
until it is almost complete circle, and

Buluwayo, only about three miles sepa-

ed at the next position occupied.
The band of few hundred insurgent
natives in the Matopo hills, reported
in arms only about month ago, has
increased until fully 10000 men are
operating against Buluwayo alone, and
some $4,000 hostiles are under arms,
and their number is increasing daily.
EVERY day the circles draw closer
around Buluwayo, and every hour adds

The farmer who endeavors to excel

be made IN grinding the grain during

The Rumors Regarding Him Still
Current at Hayara

HAVANA, April 1.-The rumor of the death
of. Maxine Gomez is still current here. and is
being added to by alleged details of his de-
mise. The latter are that the Cuban leader is
said to have expired some days ago in the
locality of Socorro plantation, in the province
of Matanzas. The remains are said to have
been inferred in the Official center" But no
dates are given, and; there are no facts forth
coming to confirm the report. The insurgent
bands commanded by Bermudes in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, have ordered the coun-
trymen of Hato de Las Vegas, Quemade and
Paso de Las Mangas to join the insurgent
ranks. The countrymen have complained to
the government officials, and a column of
troops has been sent to transfer the families
into the towns. The insurgents have already
burned the houses of these families
= Several skirnlishes have taken place be-
tween the troops and the insurgents in the
province of Santa Clara, as well as in the
province of Pinar del Rio. The troops in Pinar
del Rio have captured twelve insurgents. Pri-
vate news of a reliable character received here
through other than official channels states
that Maximo Gomez passed six days since by
Cruces and Santa Clara, going towards Puerto
Principe. These advices, assert that Gomez
health is very much broken and that he desires
to return to Santo Domingo.

GENERAL COMING OVER.
William Booth VIII Try and Settle
the Trouble In America

the Trouble in America.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Commander Booth
Tucker tonight addressed large audience
at Salvation Army headquarters. In part he
said: My policy shall be one Of love and not
of aggressiveness. I shall do in the sphere
of my new command as 1 have done in In
dia. I will follow in the fashion of the
American people, whom Gen. Booth so dearly
loves and admires.
Il think the least Ballington Booth might
have done was to grant an interview to his
own sister. 1t seems SO unreasonable to us
to have him ask that witnesses should be
present. When person wants to make an
appeal to a persons heart, he is not going
to make fool of himself by shedding tears
in the presence of a third party whose pres
ence has so much to do with distracting the
attention of the parties Immediately con-
cerned. Ballington Booth was not dismissed.
We deny that in toto.
There is no foundation whatever to the
report that Col. Nicol, who recently returned
to London, ,contemplates joining the Volunteers.
When 1 parted with him before leaving for
this country, he had no leaning in that direc-
uon. He stated that widespread feeling Of
the outside was rather against us, and added
that latterly, the press had a disposition to
take our side. II have come to America with
very deep sense of the honor and respon-
slbllity which has been placed upon me-
Every scrap of influence, power, brain, body
and heart, 1 will lay at Americas feet and
hope that what I am not now America will
soon make me, an adopted son. 1 shall sit at
her feet and shall not be above learning every
day OF my life. have brought with me a
Dig bag OF campaign plans, and a very wide
programme which I shall not undertake to
carry out until after the welcome meeting in
Carnegie Hail."
Commander Booth-Tucker seemed confident
OF being able to induce Commander Booth to
return to the army. He said it was more than
probable that Gen. Booth would pay visit to
America in the fall, and review the whole
Salvation field.
