POOR NATIVES

Cause of the Trouble in German
Southwest Africa.
RAPACITY0F THE MERCHANTS
TRADERS PUT sHYLoCK TO
SHANE.

Berlin, Jan, 25.-An official dispatch
from 1Yindhoek, German Southwest
Africa, says the Germans have lost
heavily in an unsuccessful attempt O
relieve Okahandja, that FIVE settlers
and their entire families have been
murdered and that the Hereros have
been threatening Windhoek,
Light has been thrown by the
Frankfurter Zeitung on some of tie
contributoTy causes Of the Hereros' ris-
ing in German Southwest Africa as the
result Of statements made TO that paper
by q Traveller who has just returned
from Windhoek and Okahandja- The
merchants and the traders allied with
them are charged with purposely in
Volving the natives il, debt. Accord
ing TO this traveller the traders are
mostly discharged soldiers whom the
merchants equip with wagons and from
sixteen 10 twenty oxen and goods val
ued at thousands OF marks. The trad
ers sell at first entirely on credit, not
requiring any cash until they maze
later trips. The improvident natives buy
largely and repeatedly or these easy
terms and the merchants favor The
system by extending and renewing tire
credits of the traders, sometimes TO 10
GOO marks. The traders finally begin
collecting portion OF the debt. taking
cattle in payment and at the same time
selling more goods on credit. The ma
tives are often indebted TO several traC-
ers at the same time.
Natives Have Good Cause.
The Frankfurter lettings informant
adds that he found the merchants took
an average of 20 per cent profit on the
transactions Of the traders, and the
latter adds 100 per cent, and usually
makes 20 per cent more on the cattle,
which they take in payment, The
traders further aroused the anger of the
natives by seizing the latter's cattle ar
bitrarily without waiting for legal pro-
cedure. It is true that the authorities
forbid this, but the natives usually DO
not complain, merely nursing their
grievances and If they do complain the
police have difficulty in discovering the
offending traders.

natives near Hopefar. lost reserve Of
