THE s0UTH AFRIcAN COMPANY.
Motion to Increase the Capital by
Five MILLION DoIInrx Lost.


London Evening Standard: An extra
ordinary general meeting of the Brit
ish South Africa company was held
at the Cannon street hotel. The great
hall was crowded with shareholders.
The circular calling the meeting
stated that its object was 10 consider
a resolution increasing the capital of
the company from So 800. 600 20 sl7 500. -
COO ON account Of the cost of the war
il Matabeleland. In issuing the notice
cCnVening an extraordinary general
meeting of the company the directors
desired 10 point out that it is necessary
to cali the shareholders together IN or
der that their sanction may be given
to further financial arrangements rem
dered necessary by the heavy and
largely increased expenses incurred in
connection with the rebellion that
broke out in Rhodesia in the spring
of the present year, but which, the di-
rectOrs are glad to say, is now orac-
ticaliy over, thanks to the bravery and
energy displayed by the settlers in
RhOdesia. and TO the splendid ser
vices voluntarily rendered. at great
personal peril. by Mr.. Rhodes. In ad-
dition TO the rebellion the company has
had TO cope with a most anxious and
perilOus condition OF affairs, caused
by a Nirulent outbreak of rinderaest
involving the loss of literally hundreds
of thousands Of oxen, many being
killed by the disease and many being
slaughtered in attempts TO stay the
progress of the plague. Shareholders
viii appreciate how heavy. in these
circumstances, has been the drain upon
the company and its resources during
the present year. Although it is feared
that the abnormal EXPENSE thrown
upon the company is not yet over, it
is believed that the end can be seen
and reliable estimates formed. The
s.. sec, 900 cash in hand, mentioned in
the communication issued by the board
10 the shareholders, under date the 10th
of February last. was soon exhausted,
and in july last the directors were
compelled TO create mortgage deben-
ture debt. An issue of S6.250,0 600 was
successfully effected at 971s. without
any appeal to the public. This, how
ever, has not proved sufficient. for in
addition to the OUTLAWS for war, the
administration and other officers OF the
company have been compelled to make
arrangements at great expense for pro-
visioning the country during the COM
ing rainy season, the chief mode of
