The Itratabele are reported beaten. Colonel Napier and his column

have pushed through them, after a sharp skir- mish, and have joined the little column from Gwelo, which includes Mr. Rhodes. The whole force has now, therefore, only to return to Bulawayo, which, in spite of the occa- sional appearance of impis within two or three miles of Government House, is now believed to be safe from attack. The settlers and the Chartered Company congratulate them- selves very warmly upon this victory, achieved, they say, with- out assistance from the Imperial Government. It is intended to build a number of forts within the disturbed districts, and to hold them with a powerful armed police.
