Native Chiefs Assemble to See Cecil Rhodes Buried and Sacrifice
Many Oxen in His IOnor--mpressiye Scenes on
MaOppo HiIs-Wreath From Queen

DCLUWAYO Matabeland April To-
! Amid an immense throng Of soldiers,
civilians and natives the body Of
Cecil Rhodes was today committed to its
rock tomb in the Matoppo hills. The
coffin was shrouded in a Union Jack, and
the wreath sent by Queen Alexandra was
laid upon it as it was lowered into the
grave.
The funeral party started from Muier's
hotel early this morning. The procession
was five miles long as it wound through
the hills and gorges. Every sort of con-
veyance was made use of. Some were on
foot. others were on horseback or BIZ
cycles, while still others were in wagons
and carriages.
When the procession was a mile from
the grave everybody dismOunted and con-
cluded the journey on foot Twelve oxen
hauled the coffin to the almost inaccessi-
bic summit of the kOpje, where the Chiefs
ShembH, Faku and Umgula and 1000 ma
uVes mad assembled to witness the Chris
tian tQterment rites, which they after
ward Supplemented in their own fashion
by the sacrifice of fifteen oxen to the
shade of the Great Chief.
Thousands Of white persons congregated
around the wind-swept hill. The grave
was encircled by six bOulders. The in
terment was extremely impressive. The
dead march" echoed through the hills,
and the natives stood likes statues. Tears
were In the eyes of many of the OnlOOk-
ers. The bishop of Mashonaland, who
conducted the interment services. said:
Il COnseCratc this place forever. Here
he thought. here he lived and died for
the empire.
When the coffin was lowered into the
tomb chissled in the solid rock. all those
present sang "Old Hundred and Now
the LabOreT's Task Is over" The re-
mainder of the funeral service was
chanted, and the band played the dead
march in Saul. The tomb was covered
with wreaths.
At the close of the ceremony those pres
ent slowly inspected the spot where Mr..
Rhodes lies buried and threw flowers upon
the grave. DIT. jameson. Colonel Francis
Rhodes and all the other mOurners left
BuhWayo tonight on a special train
The scene around Cecil Rhodes farm
the night proceeding his interment was
extraordinary. The whole population of
Buluwayo seemed to be moving there to
camp. and as the darkness closed down
the camp fires spanked in all directions.
The people, in every sort Of vehicle and
on foot. arrived at the camp throughout
the entire night. Some natives tramped
100 miles in order to be present at the
iuterment. The men wore big slOuCh hats
and shirts with short sleeves. Morning
revealed an immense camp in a lovely
valley, bright with sunlight. Mighty
kOpies and granite bOUlders walled it
on every side.
The difficult ascent to the place of burial
was accomplished by o'clock in the
morning.. and the obsequies were con-
Guided at 1890. After the bishop of

TO CARRY OUT THE REQUESTS.
Executors of Cecil Rhodes Prepare to
Administer VIII.


New York. April 10-One Of the first
intentions OF Cecil Rhodes executors is,
it is reported, to invite a limited number
of gentlemen. probably about a dozen, to
cooperate with them in drawing uD a
scheme for the settlement of the primary
conditions which shall govern the distri-
button Of the Oxford scholarships in pur-
suance Of the wishes of the testator.
cables the London correspondent of the
Tribune. The executors viii leave no
stone unturned IN obtaining the best ad-
vice, both from home and colonial sources,
which shall guide them in administering
the great fund set apart for the scholar
ship scheme of education. The ministers
of the British colonies which are to bene-
fit under the will may be consulted in the
matter.
Sir Milton Conway, professor of art in
Cambridge university, who is in this city,
has one great regret over the provision
Of Cecil Rhodes viii. which founded
American scholarships at Oxford. He re-
grets that Car bridge was not the for
tunate university.
"Of course he said. ''I base my regret
on the assumption shat the American
youth whom YOU send over 70 us viii be
the pick of your states. In the past es-
pecially at Oxford, there have been a
good many American students with
plenty of money who came for the good
time or because their parents thought It
the swell thing.
II hope the men who come on the
Rhodes scholarships win not be of that
stamp, as 7 feel pretty sure they will
not. If they are picked men there is
every reason to be certain that they will
come to the front in every line Of study
or activity they take up. and they will
unquestionably awaken the old place up
and put new life into it.
zone hundred picked Americans in the
undergraduate body Of oxford will be
leaven for good in the institution; 7 wish
they were coming to Cambridge. It may
be just as well. however. that Oxford is
the university selected, because Oxford
has always been. perhaps. a better train
ing ground for statesmen. and certainly
for journalists and all men who are 10
use their pens than Cambridge"
