THE DARK Side OF THE ZULU WAR.
The London Spectator Of May 2t presents
the dirk side Of tho British campaign against
tho Zulus, ard submits 10 lis readers calm
statement Of realities from official reports
and the letters Of unprejudicod correspond"
cuts, which not only otEseta the glowing nc
connta of tho Lrayosy Of tllo troops, but will |
tend to mnke tho war an unpopular one with |
the English people. In commenting upon
the war, the Spectator says:
ssIt is impossible for any Enclishnan. vhothcf |
opposed 10 tho war tn ZutrlAna OF nat to read tho
accounts from South Africa without feeling Of
distress. A Drltleh army is bolng whitfield Away

It wo,tld appoar on tho surface that this
war with tho Zulu aayagos should bo a cotn-
parativety s,nnll ono, not involving extraor-
dinary expense; but n1rendy, according to
tho London Tina, 1t has reached the di.
mansions OF tho Or;nean wnr, and, although
tho nriny has not adyaroed milo into tho
Zulu territory, hns already plunged the Gov
ernment into an expenno which may seriously
tlatnaga Its finances. The oity nrticlo OF tho
Ti7nts Btates that tho expenditure in South
Africa alrcady amounts 10 $4,000, 600 por
