RELIEF MAY BE TOO LATE.

Some Matabeles Have Left, But Large
Numbers Still Surround BuluwayO.
CAPE Town, April 22.-Capt. Napier,
with force of about 300 men, left
Buluwayo, according to dispatch re-
ceived here from that place, on a recon
noitering expedition. The Matabeles,
it was then belived, had removed
southwark away from the positions
they had occupied, intending to inter-
cept the relief corps advancing from
Mafeking. But the scouting party
were surprised to find the Matabeles in
great force about five miles northeast
of Buluwayo. Napier's command was
fired upon, returning the enemy's fire.
and then retreated in good order, it
being useless for such small body of
troopers to engage several thousand
Matabele warriors, apparently well
supplied with firearms. The return of
Napier's party, under the circum-
stances, cast quite gloom over Bulu-
wayo, as it was believed that the ex-
tensive works of defense, laagers, forts.
dynamite mines, ETC., around Bulu-
wayo had convinced the Matabeles that
the place was impregnable, and that in
consequence they had shifted camp
northward.
Plenty Remain to Cause Trouble.
1t now appears 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 uneasiness It is
true that the 18 wagons, loaded with
provisions, have succeeded in entering
the town, but there are many mouths
to feed there and the relief corps is still
long way off, and moving slowly on
account of the scarcity of water and
the ravages of the rinderpest among
the cattle. It may be two months be-
fore the Mafeklng relief corps can
reach Buluwayo, and great deal may
happen in that time. The officials of
the British Chartered company are do
ing every thing possible under the cir
cumstances. They are paying large
bonuses to transport riders and volun-
teers and are hurrying forward sup
plies as fast as possible, but here again
the deadly rinderpest is interfering
with the WORK OF re11ef.
Fully Two Hundred Killed.
The situation grows darker every
day. in spite of the very effective means
taken to defend Buluwayo. Fully 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

aged and assisted by Germany. The
Beers have mustered about 1900 men
and several guns, according to report,
at convenient distance from Mafe-
king, and it is believed that they are
more than willing to make common
cause with the Matabeles and strike a
blow at the British supremacy. In
deed everything is in a volcanic state
in South Africa at present, and no |
person here can correctly foretell what
the result will be. A good deal de.
pends on Berlin.

AN ADVANCE IN GRAIN

Bearish News Had No Effect on Corn
and Oats, but Provisions Ruled
Weak and Declined.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Wheat was strong to-
day on damage reports from Missouri and
Kansas in the way OF chinch bugs, and dry,
hot winds. July closed at SIC. an advance
of 11zc over yesterdays close. Although the
news affecting corn and oats was bearish,
as rule, those articles were very strong,
the July futures of each gaining &c per bu

rather weak, closing at a slight decline.
There was a good trade in wheat; prices
had 12ic range. The start was a little easier

siderable local selling, but the same was
quickly absorbed by professional and New
York buying and prices soon turned and adj
vanced gradually 1%c. Public cables. were
quiet and steady, while private advices
quoted Liverpool opening weak and closing
firm and turn dearer. AS the session ad-
vanced there was a noticeable absence of
the selling pressure so pronounced Of late.
but, on the contrary, there was quite a gen.
eral demand and the same increased as re-
ports came in about chinch bugs in Okla
homa and Kansas, with hot winds at the
first-named place. There was talk of too
warm weather and lack Of rain in the
Southwest and too much moisture in the
Northwest, the signal service predicting
showers for the Dakotas and Minnesota
tonight and fair and cooler conditions FRI
day. More rain was reported in the Red
River valley, and seeding said to be greatly
delayed.
There was moderate speculative trade in
corn The market, though, ruled fairly
active, and the range was ssq34c. Final fig
ures showed a gain of 1sq24c. The stronger
tone was due largely to the action Of wheat
and the small movement There was con-

There was a good market in oats, and a
stronger feeling with an advance OF A0i1c,

were liberal offerings and good buying by
shorts, several of the large traders taking
good lines. Trading was largely in July and
September. The strength in wheat, the
small receipts and advance in cash prices
were the chief causes for the bulge

and the undertone was weak. Every offer
to buy brought lots of sellers and that con-
tinued throughout the session. New York
