WARLIKE DAMARAS
Something About the African Ma
tives Now Fighting Germany.
Differ I'm Many Respects from other
Tribesmen of South Africa-Are
Devoid of Human Sympathy
Their War Dances

Within the boundaries of what is
known as German Southwest Africa,
there is being waged at the present
time conflict with the natives which
have revolted against German rule.
The immense territory over which Ger
many exercises protectorate consists
of what was formerly known as Damara
and Great Mama lands. 1t is estimated
that these two territories contain a
native population of 100000 and there
are about 1900 Europeans in the eoun-
try mostly Germans Probably large
number of these latter are traders, and
it is said that the present uprising is
due to their extortion in dealing with
the natives, who supply hides, horns,
ostrich feathers, cattle and guano, and
receiving trinkets and sometimes moth
ing III return.
The Damara men are of moderate
height, and generally we'll made, of a
rich dark brown, like the Kaffirs, and
their hair is generally Strengthened out
and matted into strands, three or more
inches long, with fat and red clay
Their dress, if such it can be called
consists of great quantities of thin
leather thongs coiled round the hips,
and small piece of skin between the
legs with the ends brought up and
tucked fore and aft into the cord
Beads, iron rings. strips of tin or brass
etc, are used for ornaments, and in
the hair over the center of the fore
head a cookie she'll is worn.
The costume of the women is most
singular Strings of beads, either of
glass or iron, or from the ostrich egg
shell, are hung round their necks and
hips, the latter being encircled by a
broad loose belt, with pieces of shell or
white beads worked on it. Anklets are
formed of iron strung upon leather,
and in some cases these heavy circlets
extend away down over the instep
Iron in various forms. either as rings
for the arms and wrists or beads to
decorate the body are freely used. But
the most curious portion of their attire
is the headdress, which consists of a
stout leather skullcap with three ears
of the same material affixed to it, one
on each side and one behind, nicely
rounded, followed and stiffened and
finally polished with grease and led
clay. Bands of coarse shells are gen

DAMARAS.

orally laid round the cap, and the soft
leather attached to the front is general
ly roled up, 90 that crossing the fore
head ii falls down on either shoulder
Behind is broad tail or fall, two or
three feet long and six or eight inches
wide, composed of short tubes of tin
strung upon leather thongs, and then
stretched side by side upon the binding
piece, the ends of which are cut into
a fringe. The children wear only a
girdle with a fringe in front, the length
varying according to the fancy and the
amount of skin in the parents hands.
1t is said the Damaras are about the
most heartless people under the sun.
1t is a well known fact that in other
African tribes the aged and helpless
are left to perish, but the Damaras go
a step beyond this and torture and rob
the sick or helpless, even though they
be members of the same family. A mis-
sionary tells of native blind girl
whom he took into his house to protect
from the members of her own family.
The brother followed her and when not
watched took the food away from her,
anu WIEN TIC uOuSc, he SUE
ceeded in enticing his sister from the
house and leading her distance in the
vedt abandoned her in her helpless
condition to be devoured by hyenas.
Such are the natives against which
Germany is forced to wage warfare.
1t is said that Windhoek the residence
of the government officials, has been
attacked by 5000 to 5000 natives and
the place cut off from all communiea-
ton with the outside world. The ma
tives are poorly armed and their meth
DDS of warfare consist in swooping
down upon isolated posts, when men,
women and children are murdered and
other atrocities committed.
