LONION , April 18.-The latest advices
from fltiluwnyn , Matabelelarni , provo beyond
Any doubt that the town Is In a most cr111.
cat situation. It Is surrounded In part by
a large force ot hostile Matabelo , estimated
to number from 12,000 to 1OOO. The garri.
t tO1) is not believed to number 1,000 men , all
told , and over onc.thtrd of them are either
foragIng , holding itrategIc positions , scouting -
ing , or trying to heel ) the roatis clear for
tim provision and ammunition trains which
are on the way to relieve fluluwayo. lIe.
sides , it is reported that a. large portion of
the remainder of the garrison left lluiuwayo
yesterday to attac1 the Imbosu regiment of
2iatnbcle.
The announcement made In the house of
Commons yesterday by Mr. Chamberlain ,
ecretary of state for the colonies , that the
government intended to Immodlatoiy Increase
the strength of the garrison in South At-
rIca , has caused great satisfaction here. The
MIddlce'.x regiment , the fIrst ono ordered to
eall , has beeii elccially choom , as It fought
at the Capo In 1879. There was great elation -
tion at Ahuerehot camp when Uio orders to
prepare to embark for outli Africa reached
the MIddlesex regiment. The soldiers gathered -
ered together and cheered repeatedly for the
queen and country , everybody and everything -
thing , and not many days wIll elapse before
the men are ready for shipboard. It Is

ape.CAPE AN IMPORTANT POINT.
The conservative newspapers are suddenly
alive to the fact that the Cape of Good
Hope is of vital importance to Great I3rIt-
nb , na being sort of a huuf-way house to
. India , a most healthy station , etc. , and they
loudly demand that it be corwcrted into a
military base on a large tcaie. But , what
is really meant , is that Great Britain should
prepare for war with the Traniavaal , without
loss of time.
The defeats of the dervishes outside of
uakini and around Tokar have drawn
) ttontlon to the fact that troops fr.m India
will shortly have to be landed .therc , 11 the
lanipaign against the ithalifa is to be prop-
prly conducted and tli Soudan reconquered.
: 'io friendly tribes in the vicirity of Suakim
.
.m-
Tokar arc constantly tiatashng the der-
'khea and are keeping the latter cantinu-
liy' on the move , while avoiding any se-
: lous engagements. The wouts report that
Dsman Digma has retreated to Arodima , and
he friendly chief , Omantitata has reoccu-
I ) iCI the Agoa distrIct.
It is expected that the news of the dc-
feats of the dervishes will seem reach the
' Nile , and have a salutary effect in the Don.
cola district. There is much. gratification in
Etigland at the splendId ohowing made hy
Iho Egyptian troops under British o1flcer.
and they are said to ho becoming reliable
enough to be pitted against the dervishes
with every chance of victory. Indeed , according -
cording to many of. tile war correspondents ,
the Fellaileen 110W appears to be equal to
the Soudanese as a soldier. The recent defeat -
feat of tlio dervIshes also had the important
result of compelling Osman Digma to evacuate -
ate lOitiDfls around Tokar , from whence he
has made forays upon the friendly trIbes ,
and it has apparently caused a diversion in
the Dongola district , Where the dervishes
have already missed the first opportunity of
harassing the AngloEgyptian advance guard.
The line of communication between AIm-
shah and Wetly-haIfa Is now secure , and is
patrolled on all sidea by friendly chiefs , A
small partg ) of dervithes fired into the camp
at Akosllah ycstrday , evening , and vanIshed
in the night Immediately afterward.
USING TlI NI\V GUNS.
Some of Great IlrItai's latest gutis will
be employed ( or the first time during the
autumn campaign in tlic Soudan. They carry
a highly epioeIvo ehioll ten mile ; and. each
511011 is capable of ( lIt'Obilflg 200 of the on-
0111. 'rieo guns have such a rapId fire
capacIty that before the first 511011 bursth
three otller , are on their way Iii the same
direction. The government shell foundry has
- . ' been overwhelmed with orders for the maiiu-
' facturo of projectiles and private contracts
for 1.000,000 hiells have been given out.

EMPEROR COMING TO ENGLAND.
It is reported that the queen has invited

and that when Major Jacobs , the emperors

the latter's acceptance of the invitation of
his royal grandmother. If this is the case , a

CAPE TOW'N , AprIl 18.-No official statement -

It Is evident to everybody here that the
Dritish at Buluwayo are in a most critcal !
position. The chief point of their weakness
is numbers and the lmnienslty of the hordes
of Matpbles gathering for tue attack. Then ,
again , large numbers of Matabeies , presumed

LO4DON , April IS.-New ( York World
Cablegram-Special Telegrnm.-The ) rk'e In
American eccuritlea this week evokes a
chorus of warning from today's financial
weeklies. For months past , as I have in'-
formed the World , the hostility of practically
that entire tress has been so uniform and
no virulent that it gives a bans for time
quito general belief that these papers arc
all rubsidized in one way or another by
the South African financiers , Two years
ago they were as tlnanimolmSly hiortibe to the
South African "fever. " Today their editorial -
itorial and news columns ' are actively cmi-
gaged in bolstering up the South African
market , and par contra , strenuourly advia'lng
against a diversicis of investments to the
United States.
All tills , despite the fact that. money goes
begging in this city. Ten day'a bane are
made freely at one-quarter of 1 per cent
par annum , and ( urea Inontils' bank bills
are as freely discounted at. one-half of 1 per
cent. Even time Statist today denounces the
rise In "Aniericaims" at , from pure manipula-
tion. "We warn our readers , " It cays , "not
to ho misled by a market maneuver of this
kind , There Is no improvement in the etua-
tlomi. Trade Is very bad , tile currency disorder -
order is as great as ever , confidence is
shaken , the electoral campaign is about to
begin , investment has ceased for a long
time , not only here at home , but in America.
Likewise. the Arnericami investors are not buying -
ing bonds. To speculate , tlierofor , in ohares
is utterly rash , and the public will do well
to leave tile markat to the clever manipulators
who arc trying to engineer a rIse. "
MONEY IN THE WIND PIPE.
The sale this week to an English rubber
company of a pneumatIc tire Invention for
3,000,000' ( $15,000,000) ) , recalls the fact that
wben : Dr. Dunlop , arm enthusiatIc Dubin !
cycbk't , invented a pneumatic tire , only as
farback am , 1889 , and applied for money to
develop the invention , lie was generally
laughed at. The commipany , as dually formed ,
Invested only 75,000 ( $375,000) ) , and In addition -
dition to tue vast coin now received , the
rharehoidere have been paid already 657,000
(3,285,000) ( ) , In dividends.
Major Ludlow , the mIlitary attache to the
American emnbasy , called today by ( lie St.

Washmiiigton by cable. He had only just returned -
turned to London , after a tour of Inspccticn
of various canals , and it is conjectured that

( luired on business connected with the

WILLIAM ON A NEW TACK.
In tile realm of European politics , there
is , perhaps , as much sbgnificanco in certain
of ( lie kaiser's socsl proceedings , wililO in
.Italy , as in any of tile serious conventional
developments of the week , Iii hatred of
England Ii.i vell knos'n , and was abundantly
illustrated in his teiegrarn to President
Krugtr ; yet , when at Syracuse , during his
visit to Italy , Ills first visit after his yacit
051110 to anchor , was miot to time great Itallarj
war ship , sent to greet him , but to a second-
clew English cruiser , apparently only hap-
pzning to be there. Morenver , he wore time
unlformmi of a Brittaim admiral , and at a sub-
selUent luncheon on board the Imparial yacht ,
'bo placed time English captain at his right
alibI ( ho ItalIan midmiliral next tp the crnprcsa.
Sir Wemys Reid , in tile pcaker today ,
thus comnnsents on ( lie episado : "Tile fact
is decidedly slgnificant of imIs new attitude
toward this country. Last January , at one
of his Interviosvs wIth the lIritiSlI ninbas

try. At Syracuea lie put on tue uniform ,

From all of which it Is evident tilat the

we arrested them in flood street. We might
have let them rim for a week longer , but
from the way they were hovering about

the 'stuff' on ( hens. I caine up behind and
caught both of them together , Inspector
