Africa.
TROOPS WILL BE RUSHED TO COLONY.
The Government, Before the Last Dispatches
Had Been Received, Had Ordered 500 Men
With 6 Machine Guns and 6 Pieces of Arti'
Iery, to Be Placed in Readiness for Active
Service, But a Start Could Not Be Made.

Berlin (By Cable).-Further advices
from German Southwest Africa say the
IIereros are numbering settlers and
burning homestcads over wide areas.
The German colonial troops IN the
disturbed districts are wholly insnitI-
cicnt to deal with the insurgcnt ma
tives. Chancellor Won Buelow submit
ted to Emperor William yesterday dis
matches received on the subject by the
Government, and the Emperor sent for
War Minister Won Einem and Admiral
ty Secretary Won Tirpitz.
The decision Of the conference was
to ask the Reichstag Immediately to au-
thori2e the sending out OF reinforce
mentS.
Addressing the Rcichstag immc-
diately after it had assembled, the
Chancellor said it had become his duty
to inform the House OF the serious po-
sition Of the German settlers in South
west Africa through the revolt OF the
Hcreros They had killed number OF
settlers who we're fleeing to the stations,
had destroyed houses and farm mn
provements and had driven off the cat
tie OF great part OF the German p'o-
neers, who were unable to leave the
protection OF the stations.
The lnSurrcction came at time When
the Governor and large portion OF the
Colonial troops were subduing the Bon
dclzwarts tribe, 20 days march away.
In consequence oi this and the remain
ing forces being scattered among the
various places oi refuge IN the middle
oi the colony. the natives were seriously
threatening Okajudjy. OUumbingwe
and karibib, and even Windhock 1t
sell.
The Government before the last dts,
patches had been received, had ordered
.oo men. with six machine guns and slN
pieces ui artillery, be placed in read' .
ness for active service, but start could
not be made before Jan. 80. The seri-
Gus intelligence now at hand made 1t
necessary to send ont Immediately bat
talon OF 500 marines i'll addition to the
other troops, with a complement OF guns
and railroad pioneers.
These would embark on Thursday on
North German Lloyd Line steamer and
arrive at Swakopmund, German South
west Africa, on February s. The gun
boat lIabicht had been ordered from
Cape Town, and was due to arrive at
Swakopmund today Moreover go men,
previously dispatched, would reach Swa-
kopmund OF February ;.
The German people. continued the
Chancellor, would answer the call Tor
help OF the faithful servants OF the state
and the coonists. The Chancellor al
ludcd briefly to tho financial requirements
necessary. and said these would be pro
vided later.
The Rcichstag after warmly app aud
ing the Chanccllor's statement, took up
the regular business OF the day.
