SPECIAL (JORMNSPONDENTM.]  -BULUWAVO, Saturday. , At noon, toolay, the B•ditivoye Chrooide published a special edition with the information that the Matoppo Indenteo had tendered their aubmisaion to Mr Rhffiles. The report states that Mr Rhodes, with but three attendants, entered the Matoppos unarmed. He was net by a large body of the Matabele, also unarmed, with the exception of a few who carried }fettleaxes. Before surrendering the natives ,complamod of the had treatment which the had received at the hands of the native police. Secombo laid I 1 complaint Agßinlit one of the native Commissioners. He also said that the whole Matabele Council prayed for the banish, ment of a certain prominent Government'. official, and declared that neither Mr Ithodea nor Dr..lameson knew of the things that had been done in Matabeleland. If Mr Rhoden stayed and cared for them they would not fight. Mr Rhodee had won their confidence by entering their stronghold unarmed. In reply Mr Rhodes said that the establish. , merit of the native police had been a mistake, , but they were now abolished. The prominent ; official complained of was no longer in the ! company's service. In conclusion he asked them whether they were for peace or war. Secombo laid a gun and an assegai on the ground in front of Mr Rhodes, this signifying thot he.and his fellow chiefs desired peace . ,  Mr Rhodes spoke strongly on the ;abject of the murder of innocent women and children. The war, he said, had been conducted fairly, but the massacre of these women aud children was treacherous. Secorubo promised to bring his people out of the hills within a few days. Earl Grey, in an official statement, says the rebel surrender is believed to be practically unconditional. Many people here assert if the rebels are net properly disarmed this time many white throats will be cut within the next six months. In regard to the demand of the Matabele chief Secombo that a certain Um/eminent official should be banished, it is reported here that Mr Rhodes, in reply, said the official in question had gone down Bough to work in the gold mines. Secombo is thereupon alleged to have said, "Send him to the Transvaal, canteen-keeping. That is all he is fit for." The chief excuse advanced by the Matabele for the rising, namely, that they were provoked to rebellion by their treatment at the hands of the native police, is considered locally to be a very idle one, considering that the police have been hand and glove with the rebels at the start. °wet., Saturday. Two deepatch riders from a patrol arrived here yesterday evening to fetch a doctor. They reported that a foraging party of eight 'men had been sent for grain to Mangols's kraal, which was destroyed weeks ago. The party rude straight to the kraal, expecting to find it deserted, but to their surprim they fopnd the krml rebuilt and well fortified. Troopeilibicker, while examining the contents of a bag in a tree near the kraal, was shot in the leg. This no far was the only kraal visited. Seven.pounders were absolutely necessary to clear the rebels from the hills..  •• , It la reported that 250 Hussars are corning here from Fort Victoria. [ltscrea's
