Cape Town says: The dragoon guards 20 to
Transvasl, not Zululand. Some accounts say
the change is Intended to overawe the Beers

bula, telegraphs under date of the 4th inst.

Invasion will undergo important modi1ca-
tions The idea of concentration on Doomberg
has been abandoned. Colonel Newdegates
column will concentrate some miles ~ -ther
north. Colonel Woods brigade is no longer
intended to act Independently on Colonel
Newdegate's flank, but the two forces will

The line of march viii probably be along the
Umvelosi river. It is thought the zulus viii
make q strong stand to cover Uiundi. Prob
ably the system of cutting adrlft from the base
when the advance commences will be aban-
doned, and a chain of fortified posts will be
constructed as the invasion proceeds, to which
escorted conveys will convey the necessary
supplies. This must retard progress. The
conviction is general that the war will be
prolonged over two campaigns.
