SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
AN ENGAGEMENT WITH NATIVES. THE FOET SALISBURY PATROL ATTACKED. NATIVES EVENTUALLY DRIVEN OFF. DR. LEYDS PERSISTENCE CONDEMNED. Cape Town, June 23. Twenty-three of the Fort Salisbury patrol who were conveying women to Mazoe in mule waggons had to contend with the natives. The fight began in the evening, and continued all the next day. The rebels were very daring, and came within six yards of the waggons. Seven of the defending force were killed and four wounded. They lost the mules and horses, but saved the woined. The natives at Fort Charter are rising. The native police at Marindella are proving disloyal. The Cape newspapers condemn Dr. Leyd's persistence in calling for the trial of Mr Cecil Rhodes as vindictive, and state that his real object is a desire to remove ttae greatest obstacle to Transvaal ambition.
