signs that they will put England in q

Traders from the north think now that
after the difficulties between the whites
have been settled the cOnquerors will
lind a big native problem on their
hands and that the blacks will have to
be conquered all over again.
almost all OF the British and Amer
lean subjects in MashOnaland have
been compelled to take refuge in kraals,
or fortified camps. as a direct result OF
the war. The natives in that part of
RhodeSia are strong. and since the be-
ginning of the war they have become
restless. The whites fear them much
more than they fear the Beers in that
region and expect at almost any time
TO see the massacres of 1884 repea ted

portunity afforded by the concentration
of British forces in Cape Colony and

to organize a hospital. but he reports
that neither the hospital nor the school

had been hoped. because the British
war made the conditions too uncertain
and dangerous to warrant any further
