CAPE Town April 15-News has been
received here that the natives are pre-
pairing to rise along the Transvssl Dor
der. A rising in Northern Transvasl it.
self is also reported to be imminent.
There is something o; a panic manifest
among the Burghers, who have appeal.
ed for arms with which to protect them
selves. The threatened spread of the
disturbance along the Trsnsvaal border
maKes the situation at Buluwayo and ID
M8tableland much more serious. The
authorities felt that Buluwayo was res
sonably cafe, and If the food supply
should hold out, but the danger has
been that the Matebeles would stop the
wagon roads through he Mstopo hills
and to the south and thus prevent sup
plies from getting through from MAIZE
king.
Only part of the 500 reinforcements
patched from Ia afekipg, the nearest
point available for that purpose. 1t
takes four weeks hard travelling by OK
wagons TO reach Buiuwayo from there,
and it is said the journey cannot b. done
in that time except with very light loads. |
Transportation OF supplies of ammuni- |
ton. which are needed at this time in
Matsbeleland must therefore be slow,
and the new developments in the sltus-
ton threaten to cut off or st least to in
terrupt communication betwsen Bulu- |
wsyo and the only source to which it |
can look for renewal OF it's Supplies.
1t has been discovered that some of |
the Matsbeles who are employed as serv-
ants here have been acting az spies and
information OF the movements
of the expeditions to their friends in
districts. One OF these traitor
GUS natives was shot today.
