30 SEPTEMBER 1893, Page 1
The latest news from Mashonaland is that the Matabele are
advancing, but that up to September 28th, the Cape authorities had heard of no collision. Mr. Rhodes is on the spot; and the Boers, in spite of official proclamations from Pretoria, are ready, if he will pay them in land, to support him in arms. If the Matabele do not win in the first rush, " manifest destiny" will demand that they retreat beyond the Zambesi, and leave Mashonaland to Mr. Rhodes.
