GOOD FIGHTERS
The natabeles Make Buluwayo Wish for
Reinforcements

BULUWAYO, April 12.-Details have
been received here of the encounter
with the Matabeles of Captain Brand,
as the result of which he suffered a
reverse and was compelled to ask for
assistance from Buluwayo
The Matabeles surrounded and at
tackled Captain Brands column, con-
sisting of 130 men, which had been sent
to relieve Gwanda, $50 miles south Of
here. on the Tuli road. Captain Brand
formed a laager for the purpose of Of
fering better defense against attack.
Some desperate fighting ensued. The
enemy was found to be we'll armed with
Martini rifles and they directed Il
strong and well aimed fire against Cap
tain Brands Maxim gun with such good
effect that it became disabled. Captain
Brands ammunition also ran short,
and the fierce attack of the Matabeles
continuing, the situation of his force
began to grow desperate. They were
finally obliged to fight their way
through the beleaguering enemy's line.
They succeeded in cutting their way
out with a loss of five troopers killed
and sixteen wounded.
1t is estimated that $50 of the Mata-
beles were killed. In response to Cap
tain Brands message calling for assist
ance, a relief force or $50 men with ar
tillery was dispatched as quickly as
possible. This force met Captain
Brands column returning.
The rebellion in Matabeleand seems
to be spreading, in spite of the vigorous
efforts that have been made to suppress
1t. The enemy's forces come and go
within short distances of Buluwayo,
and the anxiety here is more keen and
there are many fears expressed of an
attack by the enemy in force. Con-
hdence Is felt that Buluwayo will be
able to offer successful defense. The
coming OF the relief force from Mafe-
king will, however, be greeted as well
come assistance in case of an attack.

CARROLLTON, Mo-. April 12.-Geo.
Taylor, who escaped last night, nine
teen days before the day set for his
execution for the brutal murder of the
Meeks family. is still at large, with lit
tie chance of bein4 recaptured. His
brother William is still in Jail. which is
heavily guarded. Fifteen armed men,
strangers. have arrived in town, and
Deputy Sheriff Shelton, fearing an at
tempt to lynch the prisoner, has or
dered the local militia company to be in
readiness to act
Fifty men spent all last night and to-
day trailing Taylor. The bloodhounds
traced the trail only quarter of a mile
out of town, where some confederate
evidently met him with vehicle The
dogs next struck the trail four miles
from town near the Wabash tracks, but
after following it short distance again
lost it at a pond near the Santa Fe
tracks. Some people believe that
George jumped a passing freight here
and got out of the country. An un-
known man was seen to alight from the
blind baggage of Santa Fe train later
near Marceline, and hounds have been
sent there in hopes that a clew is thus
furnished. Although there is talk of
storming the Jail it is not thought that
an attempt will be made today at least.
The attorney general telegraphed
here today for an affidavit from Sheriff
Stanley about the escape of Taylor.
This was forwarded tonight. The mo-
tion for rehearing comes up Tuesday
before the supreme court. and this, it
is believed, will prevent it being heard,

Taylor on the 30th inst. 1t is now con-
