IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Native* Gradually Retpraiag to Their Kraals, and Quieting Down. The pacification of Rhodesia is « lengthy business. In the Matoppos the settlement requires repeated big palavers between Lord Grey, Sir Richard Martin, Mr. Rhodes, and the Matabele chiefs, but the natives are gradually returning to their kraals and usual do-

mestic life. Elsewhere, however, the rebels are more disposed to fight than to submit. There are still five other important. strongholds to capture In various parts of the country. The scarcity of supplies checks much of the rebel resistance, but also hampers the British movements. Grit publishes this week a photograph of Langaba, the Chief Induna at Mangwe. He was one of the chiefs who joined the present revolt. He was

taken prisoner, and is now in Bulawayo. The young man standing at his side In the photograph is Daniel, who was secretary to Lobengula. He is In jail now, undergoing a long term of imprisonment for rebellion. Banko, a sketch of whom is also published In this issue, is half-brother to the late M’limo, the Matabele “god” or priest He was chosen as the M’limo’s successor when the latter was shot by Mr. Buruliam, and is now A prisoner.
