The minority sent in a separate report, holding that Mr R1 ode-- was unaware of Dr Jameson's intention, and not liable personally for letters of the Chartered Company's officials to Dr Jameson. Major - General C'arrington has started for the Matappo hills. There is fear of famine among the rebels. The road to Fort Salisbury is about to he opened.
