The latest intelligence from South Africa, published on Friday morning,

and extending to April 2nd, is more favourable as to the chance of suppressing the Matabele revolt. Its general drift is that Buluwayo is safe, that all South Africa has woke up, and that from two or three separate points convoys of ammunition are being sent forward with bands of hastily raised but effective volun- teers. When they arrive a forward movement will be attempted against the Matabeles. On the other hand, it is admitted that all the warriors of that tribe are in movement, that they are full of fight, and that they are unexpectedly well armed. The Boers within Rhodesia, and indted everywhere, are entirely on the side of other white men.
