the Zulu army.
From other sources 1t is to be assumed, however,
that the Zuus carried out their attack under skfu
guidance. Not long ago the Memorial Diptomdtique
published semi-oficial letter from London
asserting the truth OF rumor which
circulated through the clubs in Pail Mall i'm
mediately after the receipt Of news OF the
English defeat in south Africa, to the effect that
the Zulus are commanded by American officers.
The Memorial says -"It is not the in it.

Zulus commanded by American officers of great
experience. by tactcians who know how to these

fattcring to MS. but 1t is said that Mr. Welsh. the
United States Minister at London. Twill soon receive
the necessary instructions to the British gov

are said to have commanded the zulus had no
right to assume that title" 1t was always
80. The English are always seeing Russians in the
ranks Of the Afghans the Russians were always spy
ing English officers in red coats in the
ranks OF the Turkish army, and the
British fancy that Americans are at work
in teaching the Zulu military generalship.

THE BRITISH DISASTER AT ISANDULA.

CURIOUS PLAN OF THE ZULU ATTAcK-THE
HORNS OF THE DILEMMA.
Though the disaster that befel the British troops
at Isandula has been vividly described by CORE
spondents of the English journals are indebted to
the Kafrian Wdtcaan and Governmental Gazette for
plan of the Zulu attack which resulted in the almost
complete annihilation of Colonel Durnfords forces
For the sake Of clearness may first quote
few paragraphs from the narrative of
eye witness 1.-THE Zulu army then came on
rapidly in regular battalion eight Deep keeping up
q heavy steady fire. until well within sssegai dis
tance. They then ceased their fire and hurled
assegais. Our men kept up very steady. telling
fire. and great numbers of the enemy dropped
but without checking their progress The places OF
the who fell were constantly filled by comrades.
While this attack going in the rear double
flank movement was executed. by which the horns
of the Zulu army rrounded the camp. The
Zulu host came down with the weight of its bat.
talions and literally crushed the small body. which
could only defend itself with the bayonet and very
soon IL had not even room to use that. The
Zulus picked up the dead bodies Of their comrades
and hurled them the bayonet points Of
soldiers. thus simply beating down all
defence. The work Of destruction was complete.
Within two hours from the time the Zulu skir-
mishers we're seen there was not living white man
in the camp. The Zulu army was completely organ

their rifles while At long range with consider
able effect. When near enough to their
more familiar weapon. the assegai.
they threw in two or three showers.
All this time they were advancing steadily and rap
idly. and the stabbing assegai was soon ut work.
The impression in Natal is that this engagement
the part OF the Zuus is not attributable to general
ship. but that the army OF invasion was making for
Natal and accidentally came across the rear guard Of
Colonel Glynn's column"

Three centuries ago Szegedin, then one OF
the largest Hungarian towns, was completely
destroyed by fire. To the bitterly lamenting
peope, an old woman prophesied that the
town would never be again what 1t was, "un-
til the dead should come back once more into
her Streets This became common saying
and was accepted by the people as meaning
that Szegedin would not regain her olden
greatness. Some weeks ago, when the town
was destroyed by flood, the water burst open
the vaults and graves, and many of the dead

as are all people with Eastern blood In theil

and that Szegedin will be a wonderful cit

1t nld serve the nation In time OF depression.
Id this reflection Mr.. Bright has touched
upon question which 10 daily forcing itself
upon the consideration Of the British public,
and which, unless public attention be diverted
from 1t by some unexpected and brilliant sue
cess OF British arms in South Africa, Is des-
tined ut no distant day to become the con-
trolling issue In the politics Of the Kingdom.
It ID quite true that the foreign policy in
augurated by Beaconsfeld, Immediately on
his accession to the premiership has met with
the most enthusiastic approval, both from
Parliament and the people. Within the
present generation no public man In England
has received such an ovation BIS greeted
D'Israei on his return from the Berlin con-
ference where, by his bold and brilliant
diplomacy, he enforced every pretension Eng
land had made In regard to her right to par
ticipate In the settlement OF the Russo-Turk-
ish war. For these splendid services he received
from his sovereign the Order OF the Garter,
the highest distinction that could be con-
ferred at her hands. But beside this, he was
made the object Of q popular demonstration,
such as was never, perhaps, accorded to o
civilian or to any one else than the greatest
of victorious soldiers, and at q time when the
popular heart was moved to It's very depths
by gratitude for some safe deliverance from
fearful and imminent danger.
But since that time many things have oc-
CURED that are calculated to bring about q
reaction. Despite It's recent successful close,
the Afghan campaign failed to reflect any
great renown upon English prowess. The
Zulu war has been but succession Of disas-
ters, and has brought nothing. 80 far, but
shame and disgrace. 1t has, beside, involved
the country In an enormous expenditure both
of treasure and life. In the meanwhile, 1t is
charged that the sources OF revenue have
been greatly neglected and are daily falling
Off through the inefficiency OF the domestic
administration. The home condition has
been growing more and more unsatisfactory
until British trade and manufactures, In fact
all the material interests Of the country are
more depressed than they have been for many
years
Under these circumstances 1t will not be
surprising Ii the opinion expressed by Mr.
Bright should become very general one, and
result eventually In the downfall Of the
present ministry.
