prehonslon as to what the next. step of the
revolting lilatubeles will ho permeates all
circles hero. information coming from
tho country'oround makos it certain that
the natives are preparing an offensive
movement against this place. The num-
ber of Matabolca reported gathering at
points near by is auilielent to appall tht
hearts of even experienced fighters. Then
is u dread in the minds of many that the
place is in danger of being overwhelmed
by a rush of hordes of Mutabelcs and the
inhabitants put to a wholesale massacre.
The four of treachery ls added to the ap-
prchenslon of overwhelming numbers.
.‘ilnny indications point 'to a connivnncr
with the war parties of supported friendly
natives. There are many of the latter in
the town Itself, and no white man fools
sure how far he can trust his dusky asso-
ciates or servants.
(in Wednesday evening tbrm Dutch
scouts were sent out from born to swim:
some definite and accurate information of
the position and movements of the natives.
What they found has served little to ro-
ilevo the anxiety and suspense. They re-
port that the Matabcles are gathered like
outs in a hill on the L'mgusn river, only
six miles north of hero.
Conroctlng n Trencherous Plot.
That some treacherous plot is being
concocted is indicated by the fact. that me
tivo women are secreting European clothes.
The nativomen on tho Veldt wear the on
Live costume, while most of those in Buiur
wayo wear clothes approaching the Eu-
ropean fashion. By attlrlng the native
warriors in European garments the Mom
bolas hopcithat they will be enabled to ca-
ter the town unquestioned.
A Mutaboio boy has also been caught
stealing the badges and the puggario ho-
iougiug to the Rhodesia troops, audit ir-
boilevcd that it was intended to use these
for purposes of disguise to further some
treacherous project for taking Bulawayo
at a disc ago and killing thc inhabit
unit.
It ill plainly noticeable that the natives
in the town are becoming as thick as bees.
in ordinary times the natives come and
so in the town without attracting atten‘
tion. The native population is atoll titties
a shifting one, and a large number of the
men that make it up are not known in-
dividually to the white people of the town ;
or to the authorities. The fact that the
natives in the town live apart from the ,
whites adds to the difficulty of identifying
those who belong in the town. ' 1
But there is little more confidence felt J
in the natives who belong in the town.
