The Matabele Rising.
o (Per Press Association) Capetown, April 23. It is estimated that a thousand Matabele and three hundred whites were killed in the recent engagements. London, April 23. The Hon. J. Chamberlain was entertained at a banquet in London. Replying to the toast of his health, he said he was confident England would soon re. gain the sympathy and support of the Africander section in South Africa, and the Boers would not refuse to redress the grievences of the Uitianders. He said that personally he would exhaust all persuasion and argument in the negotiations to renew good feeling between the two races, and at all cost would resist foreign aggression. It was|not intended, unless in case of emergency, to send large reinforcements of Imperial troops to Matabeleland. Local resources were considered sufficient to cope with the rising. The Times says that apart from the Matabele trouble, the troops at the Cape ought to be reioforced.
