Note.
Up to 15th August 371 claims had been adjudicated upon.
The full amount claimed in settlement of these claims amounted to £166,829: 19: 9.
The amount awarded in settlement of the same being £111,439: 10: 11.
The total number of claims filed amounted on 15th August to 637, the total amount of compensation claimed for which amounted to £266,237: 19: 4.
Since 15th August other claims have been filed bringing the total number up to about 800 for losses sustained in Matabeleland alone.
The total amount of compensation which will be paid by the Chartered Company in settlement of these claims will, it is thought, reach the sum of £230,000.

These figures must be taken as only approximate, as it is known that three or four of the police were killed by the rebels, and it is doubtful whether others did not meet the same fate. It will not be known exactly what number of the police were murdered by the rebels until the war is over.
For these statistics I am indebted to Mr. H. Morrison Jackson, the native commissioner, who was living on my company’s property of Essexvale.

Footnotes
1 One of the most influential men in Matabeleland in the time of Lo Bengula.
2 The name of my Company’s estate on which I was living before the rebellion.
4 There can be no doubt as to this, as there is now an Umlimo or prophet with the insurgents in the north-east of Matabeleland, who has apparently no connection with the Umlimo in the Matopo Hills.
5 His title was “Umlisa go Bulawayo,” or Lieutenant of Bulawayo.
6 Literally king; but the word is commonly used in addressing a European, as a complimentary title, conveying the idea of dependence on the part of the speaker.
7 There is some doubt as to whether these murders were committed on the Monday or the Tuesday; Colonel Spreckley thinks on the Monday, whilst Mr. O’Connor says it was Tuesday. It is possible that the latter may have been a day wrong in his reckoning, whilst the entry in Mr. Bentley’s books seems to favour the earlier date.
8 Correct name “Impembisi.”
9 “Buccaneers” is the term of endearment commonly bestowed upon the Englishmen in Rhodesia by the editor of Truth.
10 “Oude Baas” or “Old Master,” so named after Mr. Hartley, the veteran elephant-hunter, who must have been in the country when he was born (1864 to 1870).
