LONDON, August "A Capetown dis
patch says: Chief Morosi has submittet
and the present trouble with the Basutos Il
therefore settled, but much discontenl
still exists.
1t Is feared that there will be severe
famine next year in Zululand, as II Is nov
seed time and no land Is being sown
while much seed has been destroyed and
many cattle seized. King CetyWayo
when leaving the battlefield OF Ulundi
told his Chiefs TO look to their own safety
and seek terms OF peace as best they
could. His army Is broken up, the natioj,
dispersed and the King fugitive. Zulu.
land will probably be divided into three
o. four separate principalities, each under
the rule OF an independent noble. Getty.
wayos brother, Oham, will receive his
own territory under this arrangement,
Rumors are rife Of impending troubles
IN Transvaal. It is feared that II the Colo.
nial Ministers take energetic measures
with regard 10 that province an immedi.
ate disturbance viii ensue. The an.
nouncement Of the dispatch OF troops and
the approaching visit OF Sir Garnet Woods.
eley has probably disquieted them.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CErYwAYo's CAPTURE.
The correspondents in South Africa
agree that the capture OF Cetywayo is all.
important, because as long as he is free he
will remain the centre Of conspiracy and
mischief. Gen. Wolseley, however, has
no intention Of pursuing him with British
troops, as thesnature OF the country rem.
ders such q course impracticable. His
policy Is rather to stir up the neighborinr
tribes against the King. Agents have
been sent TO Swazies and Amatorgas with
this object in view, and 5000 cattle have
been offered TO Oham il he will capture
his brother. One telegram SAYS a price
has been set upon Cetywayo's head.
General Wolseley, in an address TO a
number Of chiefs, July l2, informed them
that he had no desire TO take any Of their
territory, but that Cetywayo was a fugi.
tive and could never more be King. Gen.
eral Wolseley had summoned all native
chiefs 70 meet him at Emangwene about
nine miles north Of the Umiastoose river,
on July 10th 70 hear his final words OF
settlement. The chiefs at the meeting
Of July 18th, declared that the Zulu nation
had now no head. They wished 10 have
no more black kings, and said they would
prefer John Dunn for king. They
promised 70 bring all the chiefs of the
coast districts to the Emangwene meeting.
These tribes, however. do not constitute
the most warlike part Of the nation.
a Tying column started for Emangwene
July l4th to prepare for meeting General
Wolseley and staff.
1t Is reported from Luneburg that Getty.
wayo, with 1000 followers, is endeavoring
to escape across the northern border to
join Secocoeni. The authorities are keen.
ing good look out for him.
John Dunn and other well informed
parties think there is great probability
that Cetywayo will be killed by his fol.
lowers II he continues to make trouble.
All of the Zulus wounded at the battle
OF Ulundi were killed by the native con.
tingent in the employ Of the British.
