Much Dissatisfaction in London Over

London. April i.-Despite all official
and semi-ofiicial statements to the con-
trary. II Is generally admitted that the
situation in South Africa is unsatisiacto-
ry. Even the reassuring statements made
by the secretary OF state for the col
onies. Mr.. Chamberlain. has not changed
public opinion on the subject. and today
he is openly accused OF triling with the
situation and pretending that the scanty
forces there are able TO cope with the
rebellion OF the Matabeles and its possi-
BILE optcome. II seems beyond question
that Buluwayo and Gwelo are the only
two stations in Matabeleland which are
in a defensive condition and there is
strong possibility that communication
with these towns will shortly be entirely
cut of,
Chamberlain's disinclination to have
strong endorsements OF British troops
sent to South Africa is said to arise
from his desire to do nothing which may
eive color to the French and German
charge that the real object OF sending
reinforcements to South Africa is to CO.
cree the Beers. Then, again, the scope
OF the Soudan expedition appears to be
widening, and there is considerable fear
In many quarters that the government
does not realize the extent of the UNDER
taking.
Experts In Dervish warfare say that
the Anglo Egyptian force is inadequate
to cope with the situation, and there is
acute danger that communication with
the advance guard OF the Egyptian troops
may be cut off, and the latter be ami
hilated, before It is possible for the sup
port of British troops to arrive. 1t is

OBSTACLES REMOVED.
Reorganization Plan OF the Northern
Pacific win Be Carried Out.


Milwaukee. April 4-Johnson Living
ston, representing the general second
mortgage bondholders OF the Northern
Pacific, has filed an amended answer in
the United States court admitting all OF
the allegations of the complaint filed or
iginally by the Farmers Loan and Trust
Co. This action shows that almost every
obstacle in the way of the re-organiza-
ton plan has been removed. as the gen.
eral mortgage bondholders were among
those from whom the trouble was most
feared.
Llvingston's first answer was filed on
March . and caused CONSERVATION
among Northern Pacific security holders,
because II claimed priority for second
mortgage bonds over not only third mort
cages. but consolidated mortgage deben-
lures, and attacked the validity of the
receivers certificates. These claims are
now abandoned. All that now stands in
the way OF the reorganization plan
is the objection of the third mortgage
bondholders. and the claim OF the Wis
consin Central that all bonds OF the
Northern Pacific are void for neglect in
complying with the terms of the charter
in their issuance.
