graph tomorrow will publish dispatch
es from Pretoria aud Kimberley. saying
that rumor is being circulated in those
places to the effect that the natives have
captured Fort Salisbury. killing and
mutila:ing so white inhabitants and
smashed the Maxim guns in the place.
The foregoing report. however,
makes confirmation as to other tumors
recently current that Fort Salisbury,
which has been hard pressed by natives,
has been relieved. There has been
much fighting in various places in the
disturbed district in the last few days.
Burubam, the American scout. found
in a cave in the Matoppo hills the
famous Matabele god Mlimo, the
promptor and fosterer Of the outbreak :,
aud vainly tried to capture Mlimo alive,
but being unable to do so. killed him.
1t is beived that the death of their
god will discourage the natives aod lead
to the suppression of the revolt.
